The development of the Grand Cherokee goes back far enough that it paralleled the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The styling of the Grand Cherokee is uptown, with a sloped windshield and backlight, sculpted sides, and clean lines everywhere. The 60/40 rear seats recline for comfort, enabling passengers to look up at the sky through the optional panoramic sunroof that extends over both rows of seats and the front seat folds flat for kayaks or two-by-fours. The luxurious Overland Summit model is as stitched-and-piped as any Chrysler and similarly expensive. The Grand Cherokee interior is stylish and made with high-quality materials. A 5-speed automatic goes with the V6, and mileage has improved slightly for 2012. A 3.6-liter V6 engine is standard and more than sufficient for anything but heavy towing. A variety of all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive systems and suspension arrangements are available. And while you can get tow hooks, they're optional on most and chrome plated on the top of the line. Four-wheel drive, low-range gearing, and a full-size spare tire required for genuine off-road activities are optional. Two-wheel drive is standard across the board. Many Grand Cherokee models come with piped leather, and the list of features includes a heated, power tilt-telescope steering column, ventilated front seats, and collision warning system. Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to evolve toward luxury wagon and away from the utility vehicles that made the name famous.
Every 2012 Grand Cherokee above the base model has seen a price increase. While the least-expensive version appears about $3,000 less than last year's base model, it isn't really because it doesn't include power seats and other features that were standard for 2011.
For 2012, Jeep has made a few notable changes, brought back the SRT8 high-performance model, and added an Overland Summit to the top of the luxury range.Ģ012 Grand Cherokee models also get changes in packaging and pricing. Grand Cherokee was thoroughly redesigned for 2011. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has very good road manners, five-passenger capacity, more cargo room than its predecessor and, if properly optioned, can be taken off the highway.
