The Grand Cherokee's origins date back to 1983 when American Motors Corporation (AMC) was designing a successor to the smaller Jeep Cherokee (XJ). At its introduction, while most SUVs were still manufactured with body-on-frame construction, the Grand Cherokee has used a unibody chassis from the start.
The materials used inside the cabin were never the Jeep’s strongest point, however, the refreshed 2010 model upgraded their quality to make it more appealing to the customers.The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a range of mid-size SUVs produced by the American manufacturer Jeep. Safety wise, the JGC featured antilock disc brakes, stability control, side curtain airbags with a roll-over detection system and an optional trailer sway control. Offered in three trim levels, the SUV was available either with a rear-wheel-drive or a four-wheel-drive system, while the SRT8 was only available with the AWD system. The most powerful V8 unit rocketed the JGC to 100 kph in around 4.7 seconds. Thus, many customers opted for the V8s, with power ranging from 357 hp to 420 hp with the SRT8 model. While you would think opting for the V6 would have come with an improved fuel consumption, it was not the case with the 2010 model. Under the hood, the JGC came with a choice of 3 engines, a V6 and two V8s.
Not fitted with the most spacious cabin, the SUV could have fell off the list for larger families, as the cargo area was rather small compared to other vehicles available on the market. A popular choice in the SUV market, the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s history started back in the early ‘90s.ĭesigned for customers looking for both off-road capabilities and good urban skills, the Grand Cherokee was fitted with an advanced four-wheel-drive system, however, driving it around town was fun also.
