STRENGTHS:
Hemi V8 engine is super powerful; lots of cargo space; plenty of room for passengers
VALUE:
The Jeep Grand Cherokee holds its place as one of the sportier utility vehicles on the market. The interior space is comfortable for actual humans, with enough room for the gear that comes with them. The Limited and SRT-8 models come with enough standard goodies to put the Grand Cherokee in the luxury SUV class, while the Laredo offers great basics for the price.
WHAT'S NEW:
Few features have been added to the Grand Cherokee for 2010 as a complete redesign is expected for the 2011 model year. A few features were dropped from the Grand Cherokee for 2010, such as the Overland trim level and a couple of optional engines, including the turbo diesel V6. That still leaves plenty to like, including the high-performance SRT-8 model with a 420-hp Hemi V8 under the hood.
