IS IT A LUXURY SUV? JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2024 REVIEW (5 SEATER, 7 SEATER)

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, particularly the five-seater variant reviewed, presents a mixed bag. While it boasts a more premium interior feel than its predecessor, with comfortable seats, ample space in the second row, and a large boot, its value proposition is questionable. The reviewer highlights that even the base 'Night Eagle' trim approaches $80,000, with the top-spec Overland reaching nearly $100,000. A significant drawback is the standard 3.6L V6 petrol engine, which is deemed underpowered and inefficient for the vehicle's size and weight, often requiring high revs and leading to poor fuel economy. The reviewer also notes the absence of the previously popular diesel and V8 engines, and the expensive 4xe plug-in hybrid. While the chassis and adjustable air suspension offer a capable and comfortable ride, and the interior tech is generally good with physical controls, the vehicle's high price point and the uninspiring powertrain lead the reviewer to conclude that there are better, more logical alternatives available for similar or less money, such as the Ford Everest or Hyundai Palisade, especially considering the Grand Cherokee's four-star safety rating for petrol models.
