its a good thing to hear an engine sound..no one wants to feel like they are sitting in a library while they are driving a car. big engines should be heard

Had mine for 3 months and love it. Comfy, powerful with a big 3.0 V6 + an 8 speed auto box and what ever What Car says it is silent at motorway speeds. Really looks the part and has loads of toys. I paid £34500 for a pre registered Limited Plus with 20 miles on the clock. Compare that to the price of its rivals! Saw a Range Rover Sport (£60000) parked next to it the other day and had a chance to compare them side by side and for me, the Jeep can hold its own. Just as big and imposing as the Range. Ok, interior quality is not as good but still looks fantastic. An absolute bargain.

Our friend forgot to mentioned the off road capabilities of the JGC. Big difference compared to competitors. When the road or the weather conditions get tough, you are grateful to go aboard the Grand Cherokee. That's a fact.

Had to laugh my A$$ off when he mentioned the Jeeps reliability, because Range Rovers and Jags have always been the worst.  In fact, even the last few BMW's I've had have been horrible.  Haven't had any problems with my Jeep. Guess I'm lucky.

Reviewing a jeep only on paved road and comparing to SUVs that only do well on paved road. How about taking Jeep off-road as it's meant to be and then comparing it with a BMW X5. You would see where the jeep's strong points are.

[richardikin]

I'm seriously considering a Grand Cherokee, has anyone had any bad experiences of them?

[Dcc]

Here in the US, the JGC is a mainstream SUV that actually competes with the other mainstream mid-sized crossovers that are WAY cheaper than BMW, Audi, and Land Rover SUVs, which this Jeep also happens to compete with. In my opinion, I think it's in a class of its own. It's not as luxurious as its European rivals, yet nicer than its mainstream rivals. It is a serious off-road vehicle itself, which its mainstream and luxurious European competitors (besides Land Rover) aren't. I have had a 2013 JGC Trailhawk 5.7 Hemi for a full year now and been very happy with it. When you mash the throttle, the Hemi comes to life with a VERY loud roar sound in the interior and pretty powerful acceleration, but it's super quiet when you gently accelerate. It doesn't accelerate any faster than a V6 engined saloon/sedan because it's so heavy. On the Highway at 75 MPH or 120 KM/H, I get like 18 miles per US gallon. When driving in the city, its 13. That pretty bad lol. The 3.0 diesel tows just as much as the Hemi thanks to its massive 420 pound-feet of torque and uses WAY less fuel (30 more pound-feet and 10 more MPG than the Hemi), making the Hemi quite pointless now.

I quite like the look of it. Certainly would stand out in a sea of Land Rovers, Beemers and Audis.

The 6.4 Hemi is just what the doctor ordered.

[TheCoffeeField]

He's reviewing a Jeep but somehow he failed to mention the 4x4 capabilities and the fact that the Jeep can go off road and the X5 cannot. 

[gabriel.]

My boy forgot it’s a REAL 4X4
I’m just gonna assume he has soy milk in coffee

[topten]

It looks so much better than its rivals

[zontarr-zon]

In the beginning was Jeep and then the rest, really like it and since Fiat took Chrysler i bet the engines are a massive improvement like the rest . 

[albertusanoniem]

Im going to buy one, it looks so good i think better than its more expensive rivals.

[johnmunro]

Bought myself one of these and I love it!!!

[carlsbadtuber]

THIS BEATS THE  BMW X5 ETC ANY DAY ...! 

[christopherforshaw]

Why is everyone so concerned with 7 seats? Whats wrong with 3 or less children and plenty of space for dogs or luggage??? Jeep are doing it totally right with this, while everyone else is trying to eat into the MPV market! 

[MrDumi]

Beautiful 4×4, great for the money love it..

[kangvp]

Why is the 6.4 available, and not the 3.6 or the 5.7? It just doesn’t make sense.

[pukenanginang]

just got my jeep GC limited 2015. great ride with a twist of sporty ride. not a big fan of 7 sitter.
