Review: 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a premium midsize SUV. Its standard equipment list is very extensive and it's packages are easy to understand. The ride quality is fairly impressive for a SUV of its size, the ride feels secure and not as top heavy as a lot of other sport utilities in the segment.The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee drives well and handles most urban situations with ease.The standard list of equipment is impressive, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee fully loaded with options can get quite expensive .

On the other hand fit and finish has improved dramatically and leads us to believe that it would hold up reasonably well with time.The infotainment system works well and we found it to be fast, predictable and easy to use.The Jeep Grand Cherokee feels premium feel especially in high up trim levels overland and limited.Safety has also been a big factor in our decision making.

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee earned a 5 start rating for front and side impact for both the driver and passenger.The Jeep performed very well in roll over protection with a score of 4 stars.The Jeep Grand Cherokee also is reasonable gas wise with a MPG ranging from 19/25  to 13/17 if you want the 475hp 6.4 liter road scorcher.

With all this we can do nothing but recommend the Grand Cherokee its a solid performer with great numbers and excellent handling for its size.

Review : 2015 Jeep Cherokee

The 2015 Jeep Cherokee is a relatively new model that's aimed at the small SUV crowd.

The 2015 Jeep Cherokee is a four cylinder SUV that is known in Jeep language as being "Trail Rated".
The 2015 Jeep Cherokee earned a 4 star rating for its front impact,5 star for its side impact and 4 star for roll over. (this was all the nice things i could say about it)

The 2015 Jeep Cherokee is a carry over from the 2014 model year which was the release of the new model which separates itself from the more premium Grand Cherokee by being less expensive,smaller,with less available features. The Cherokee is  under-powered and lacks certain creature comforts that other small sport utilities vehicles in its segment have standard.

The Jeep Cherokee isn't a very pretty looking SUV, with its overbite looking front end.Its visibility leaves much to be desired due to its high rear end and small windows.

The 2015 jeep latitude handles normally for its size however it tends to get quite jittery on uneven surfaces.

In all the Jeep Cherokee Latitude costs thousands less then Grand Cherokee however, the under powered drive-train and rough handling  can not be ignored.The Cherokee is a major disappointment in all areas.Its does not have good quality materials and it feels cheap and out of date.The ride is bumpy and unrefined.

The Jeep Cherokee was made with the intention to be more gas efficient then the Grand Cherokee..here is the kicker..ITS NOT it averages just 22/31 which if you compare it to the most efficient engine available on the Grand Cherokee is only 2 miles more per gallon in the city and 1 more mile per gallon highway.Even the Grand Cherokees most thirsty engine a  475 6.4 liter is 100% more fun to drive and averages 13/17 which if price was not a factor id go for,at least i would  have a reason to get bad fuel economy.Getting only 22 mpg in this slow turtle is a joke in itself.

If your on a budget and you really want a Jeep then  go for a Grand Cherokee and pick one of the more efficient engines.Yes, the Grand Cherokee is more expensive by about $7,000 base model being compared to base model.But I'm wiling to bet you would be more comfortable with a base Grand Cherokee then you would with a base Cherokee.The quality of the interior by itself is worth the investment.
