For The Grand Cherokee has butch looks, and is capable both on- and off-road; the engines are strong, and it's reasonably priced and well equipped.
Against The interior isn’t as spacious as its rivals' or as classy as it should be for the price, and running costs are high, especially for the V8.
What Car? says
Well equipped and well priced, but not as practical or as good to drive as it should be.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
In theory, you can choose between petrol and diesel models in the Grand Cherokee, but the V8 petrol-engined version is so expensive to buy and run that it will be an irrelevance to most buyers. Instead, stick to the cheaper, more frugal diesel engine that still gives the big Jeep impressive pace.
Limited trim is the pick of the bunch, as although it costs a bit more than the basic model, it comes with some welcome extra equipment that is worth the extra cash it costs.
Naturally, this Jeep is truly impressive off-road, and buyers who want to make the most of their car's off-road abilities can take advantage of Skills Days - where they are taught off-road driving skills - or Jeep Trips, where they join a party to venture off-road.
