CAR magazine UK drives the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV in the UK with pictures, specs and verdict
Jeep’s latest Grand Cherokee has aspirations of grandeur. Over its generations, it’s gone from sensible-and-more-road-friendly Jeep to something that’s much plusher.
Every Grand Cherokee includes a 10.1-inch central infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster, digital rear-view mirror, active noise cancellation tech, heated and ventilated front seats, a powered tailgate and wireless charger. That’s not entirely a complaint – we welcome the fact Jeep is maintaining a certain level of physical switchgear, but it feels a little clumsily laid out so it can take a while to get your head around. For example, there are buttons above the dashboard but they’re angled almost horizontally in glossy black plastic, so they’re barely readable from your seat . The climate dials are chunky and useful, but they too are angled weirdly downward.
The steering’s nothing special, though. It’s relatively consistent as you apply lock, but there’s no communication from the wheel on twistier roads. Very much a two-finger-resting-on-a-spoke kinda deal. And, even in dolled-up Summit Reserve spec, it can really handle off-road driving. Our UK test included a tough off-road course that was spent alongsidemodels. And while the Wrangler models practically walked it, the steep rocky inclines, river fording, gravel tracks and muddy ruts were also completely shrugged off by the much more tarted-up Grand Cherokees. Impressive stuff.Naturally, you have to consider all sorts of rivals at this price.
