Jeep Grand Cherokee (2014-)


The Grand Cherokee is my favorite model in Jeep's current lineup. It looks great inside and out, and overall performs very well off-roading (applies to all versions except SRT8, which is more track-focused). The Grand Cherokee is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 rated at 290 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque. In Europe, the Grand Cherokee is also available with a diesel option. It comes in four different trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Summit. The best version of the Grand Cherokee is undoubtedly the SRT8, which is more performance-oriented. The SRT8 version is also my all-time favorite Jeep. It comes with a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 producing 465 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 mph happens in 4.8 seconds and top speed is rated at 160 mph. My family used to have a 1997 Grand Cherokee Limited that wasn't too horrible. It was pretty much left stock for its entire lifespan. However, it was nowhere near as good as the current model. The last person in my family to have it was my cousin, who currently owns a 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the best SUVs on the market today and I would highly prefer it over its platform-mate, the Dodge Durango. Below are more recent photos of the 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT8. In the second one, it is towing a Porsche 911 Turbo S cabriolet down I-5 early January. The first one was taken early last month.
