The 4.7-liter engine is offered in most states with E85 flex-fuel capability, meaning it can run on gasoline or up to 85 percent ethanol. The smaller, 4.7-liter overhead-cam V8 gets 70 more horsepower for 2008 for a total of 305 hp we found this engine works quite well.

The high-performance SRT8 model has a 420-horsepower 6.1-liter Hemi V8 and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is particularly good for towing or driving at higher elevations. In back is nearly 70 cubic feet of cargo space.Ī wide range of engines is available. Switches and controls are clearly labeled and easy to find and use. Inside, the atmosphere is light, comfortable, and enveloping, with lots of seat adjustments, and excellent outward vision around relatively slim windshield posts. Yet it is instantly recognizable as a Jeep. Outside, the Grand Cherokee is edgy and angular, clean and contemporary, uncluttered by body cladding. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a midsize SUV, like the Ford Explorer or Chevrolet TrailBlazer, but it offers superior off-road capability comparable to that of the upscale Land Rover LR3.
