Reviews of the Grand Cherokee (diesel):

Externally, the car is very stylish, powerful, masculine. In the parking lot and on the road, it dominates the rest of the cars. The interior is quite roomy, especially for the first row of seats, which can easily fit a tall and broad-shouldered passenger and driver without interfering with each other. There is already less space in the back, people will have to make room if they want to accommodate three of them.

As it should be an SUV, the Grand Cherokee has good cross-country ability - it calmly rides on blurry roads, sand, snow, water barriers, jokingly overcomes curbs, pits and bumps on the road, which is also facilitated by high ground clearance. The model is quite powerful, even with the 3.0 engine, accelerates quickly, maneuverable, despite its impressive size and weight. A big plus of the Grand Cherokee is its trunk. Even when folded, it fits a bunch of things, including purchases from the store, a stroller,travel accessories. If you transform the interior and remove the rear seats, the trunk is more than doubled. In this position, it can carry bulky cargo and household appliances.

There is a car Grand Cherokee and a number of disadvantages. First of all, they include high fuel consumption, which, when driving fast in the city, often exceeds 21 liters. Complaints are often received about cheap hard plastic in the cabin, which often creaks. Owners also mention wide A-pillars and large rear headrests that limit visibility.
