2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Review

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a modern SUV. With the larger version and better than the other versions, but Jeep jeep cherokee still practically popular. Jeep designers aim of this company is able to maneuver in the city, comfortable and wide enough for a family and be able to reach even remote places.

Yang, now a fourth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is a complete redesign for 2011. Older critics, such as less powerful V6 engine, cabin material mediocrity and lack of rear seat space, has been completely handled.

The new 3.6 liter V6 engine making 290 horsepower solid, the interior offers quality construction and there are now far more passenger and cargo space. Other important improvements include easy to use radio and climate controls and a more inviting cabin design. Ride and handling dynamics are better thanks to more rigid chassis and new suspension is fully independent. A new "Selec-Terrain" feature for all-wheel-drive system allows the driver to choose the uplevel five programmed settings from best to handle the road or trail conditions are given.

In addition to the traditional well equipped Laredo and luxurious Limited trim there is also the Overland, which tops the range with upscale features such as 20-inch alloy wheels, steering wheel and navigation system power-adjustable/heated. Should the new V6 is not enough, the 5.7-liter V8 offers 360 hp are available along with a towing capacity of 7400 pounds. The second engine is paired with a five-speed automatic. As before, one can choose between a hard two and four wheels, the latter offered in various guises leading to the Quadra-Drive II system that provides a locking front and rear side differences in the Selec-Terrain system is.

Our review noted greatly increased travel and handling, strong performance (and respectable fuel mileage) from the new V6 and comfortable, quiet, well trimmed interior. For the modern SUV that still has the ability to pick up dirt and rocks, the latest Grand Cherokee is a smart pick.

Used Jeep Grand Cherokee Models
, The previous third-generation Grand Cherokee produced from 2005 - '10. Compared with the previous model, more squared-off styling and independent front suspension design used for the first time. Still five passenger SUV offered in two trim middle primary level: Laredo and Limited. However, there is also a rare Grand Cherokee SRT8. With a 420-hp V8 and a lowered sport suspension, SRT8 is designed for maximum performance on the road and is the fastest and most powerful Jeep ever produced.

Powerhouse for this version originally included 3.7-liter, 210-hp V6, 4.7 liter V8 (235 hp to 2007, when it jumped to 305) and 5.7 liter V8 with 330 hp. A turbodiesel model arrived for 2007, boasting a 3.0-liter V6 with 215 hp and 375 pound-feet of torque. Two years later, 5.7-liter V8 boosted to 357 hp. All but the SRT8 can be had with either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive - the SRT8 comes with all-wheel drive.

There is some variation in the 4WD model, such as the Jeep is equipped with the higher trim level Quadra-Trac II or more advanced Quadra-Drive II system. Last year saw the removal of this generation turbodiesel, the new addition of entertainment and navigation systems and debut Hill Start and Hill Descent system.

In review, we praised the three genes Grand Cherokee for outstanding off-road ability and available V8 power broad-shouldered. We recommend going with one of the V8s, a V6 ancient foundation, instead of fuel-efficient and beaten by rival V6s. The journey may not be as smooth as rival car-based crossover, but it's pretty fun. The most significant demerit goes to the interior of a relatively narrow, which fell in the second maximum cargo space and rear seat room than the competition.

There are two previous generations of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The second generation was built from 1999-2004. This Grand Cherokee is a bit smaller and generally less sophisticated than they are now. It has a solid axle at the front than the current independent setup, and the circulation of the ball steering instead of rack-and-pinion.

However, this model largely respected during the production period. In an editorial review, it received high marks for its manageable size and, for the 4WD model, off-road prowess. There are two trim the beginning (Laredo and Limited) and two engines - a 195-hp 4.0-liter inline-6 ​​or 235-hp, 4.7-liter V8. V8 engine is considered as a better choice because it provides more power without much sacrifice in fuel economy compared to the six-cylinder.

As the Jeep to make continuous improvements to this model, used car buyers should try to get as much of the new Grand Cherokee may be. Beginning in 2001, V8 matched to a five-speed automatic. In 2002, Jeep introduces an additional three trim levels (Special Edition, Sport and Overland), high-output 265-hp V8 and more available features. Further improvements made in 2003.

The first-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, the one that started it all, was offered for the 1993 - '98 model years. As the second generation, this model up and the two live axles, has a familiar choice of either a inline-6 ​​or a V8 for power, and recorded for the exceptional off-road with adequate capacity on the road handling. 220-hp 5.2-liter V8 model is larger in displacement than later V8s but not subtle.

Over the years most of this generation, the buyer will face familiar Laredo and Limited trim. There is also the base-trim SE (offered through 1995), Limited-based Orvis ('95-'97), then the TSI ('97 and '98) and '98-just 5.9 Limited. The 5.9 Limited has the exclusive 245-hp 5.9-liter V8. The best models to consider are 1996 and newer because it benefits from the security, electricity and repair features.
