Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999-2005) Review

Category: Sporting 4x4s 3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Jeep Grand Cherokee (1999-2005)

Price Range: £27,100 to £41,800

Assets

Value for money. Delivers plenty of performance, especially in V8 form. Easy to drive, and quite able off-road.

Drawbacks

Fuel economy is on poor side. Rear seats not spacious. Rivals have better interior quality.

Verdict

Not as good competitive it was. Image and value keep it selling.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

We wouldn't say it's up to the best Japanese standards, but there are hundreds of thousands of Grand Cherokees around and their reliability and quality is well proven. Doors slam with a reassuring thunk and, though quality of the materials used on the interior trim could be better, it is well screwed together. The petrol engines and the Mercedes-sourced turbodiesel are all reliable and marathon mileages shouldn't be a problem.
