A variety of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L models are on sale in Australia, including the Night Eagle, Limited, Overland and Summit Reserve.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a five-seat SUV, while the Grand Cherokee L is the seven-seat alternative. All models are powered by a 210kW/344Nm 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine, except the Summit Reserve 4xe PHEV which utilises a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol hybrid powertrain. Night Eagle and Limited variants use a Quadra-Trac I full-time 4×4 system, while the upper-spec Overland and Summit Reserve utilise the Quadra-Trac II full-time 4×4 system.
Pros
- Trail-rated 4×4 systems offer serious off-road capability across the range
- Quadra-Lift air suspension (optional) enhances ground clearance and versatility
- Selec-Terrain system adapts to a variety of off-road conditions with ease
Cons
- Base models lack advanced off-road hardware like rear diff lock
- Off-road angles are modest unless equipped with air suspension
- Larger size (especially L variants) can limit agility on tight trails
