Jeep Grand Cherokee

Jeep Grand Cherokee is a roomier and improved version of Jeep’s popular Cherokee line. Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of America’s Top SUVs because it is big enough for the family duty, stylish enough to take out on the town, yet powerful enough to get to the remote campsites. If you are shopping for used Jeep Grand Cherokee, try to search for 1996 and newer as they benefited from safety, power and feature improvements.

3rd generation Jeep Grand Cherokee (Year 2005 onward)
The most refined and arguably the most desirable. As a five-passenger midsize SUV, Jeep Grand Cherokee comes in three main trim levels: the base Laredo, the midlevel Limited and the luxurious Overland. With a 420-horsepower V8 and a lowered sport suspension, it's been designed for maximum on-street performance and is the quickest and most powerful Jeep ever produced.

2nd generation Jeep Grand Cherokee (Year 1999 to 2004)
This generation of Jeep Grand Cherokee is a little bit smaller and generally less sophisticated than the more current 3rd generation JGCs. It had a solid axle in front compared to the current independent setup, and recirculating-ball steering instead of rack-and-pinion. This generation of Grand Cherokee still received high marks for its manageable size and 4WD models, off-road prowess. Beginning in 2001, the V8 was matched to a five-speed automatic. In 2002, Jeep introduced three additional trim levels (Special Edition, Sport and Overland), a high-output 265-hp V8 and more available features.

1st generation Jeep Grand Cherokee (Year 1993 to 1998)
The first-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee rode on two live axles, with the familiar choice of either an inline-6 or V8 for power, and was noted for its superb off-road abilities with adequate on-road handling.
