I won’t lie: I do not know much about Jeeps. I do know some things about the mid-sized crossover market, though, which the new Grand Cherokee seems to be targeting now with its unibody construction and handsomely-rugged yet sporty look.
Refreshed inside and out, including a new V6 engine that promises to be more fuel efficient, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee certainly does look good on paper. It seems to be selling as well, if I base that on the number of them I have seen on the road in the past couple of months.

My tester is the top-of-the-line Grand Cherokee Overland, minus the V8 engine option. This is, of course, well-appointed in base form, including such items as 20-inch alloy wheels, leather-stitched instrument panel, door uppers and centre console armrest, navigation system and heated wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Other features in my tester include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated second-row seats, ventilated front seats, power liftgate, power tilt and telescopic column, driver’s side memory, bi-xenon headlamps with SmartBeam automatic control, backup camera, and rain-sensing wipers. This vehicle seems pretty loaded on the inside and it is also loaded in terms of drivetrain options.
With standard Quadra-Trac II, which includes a new Selec-Terrain system that can be dialed in for Auto, Sport, Sand/Mud, Snow and Rock settings, and an air suspension that raises or lowers the ride height of the vehicle.
