2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Reviews
Here is what the experts have to say...
“A dramatically upgraded interior is provided, with soft-touch plastics, leather, or real wood trim, 4 inches more of rear legroom, double-laminated glass on all models, and much greater sound insulation all around. The result is an extraordinarily refined truck that no longer handles like an off-road vehicle but can be tossed with surprising alacrity on twisty roads.” IHS Global Insight
“While maintaining its reputation for off-road prowess with the Grand Cherokee, Jeep also wants to make it competitive in the luxury SUV segment, putting it up against the Lexus RX 350. That is a tall order, but from our initial look at the cabin, Jeep is off to a good start.” CNET
“It looks great in the city, more attractive than the BMW X5 and the Porsche Cayenne, for instance, while the inside swaddles you in soft-touch leather and the roof slides back to open the biggest sunroof we can think of on the market today.” Autoweek
“Building on the precedent set by the 2009 Dodge Ram, the well-executed cabin should be a key factor in reestablishing Jeep’s claim that this is a premium SUV.” Automobile Magazine
“No matter your destination or proclivities, there's a Grand Cherokee to suit your needs on road, and the competition doesn't even come close to matching its abilities off road." Autoblog
“The interior now befits an entry-luxury SUV that Jeep says will carry out such varied duties as driving the trail to delivering tuxedoed folks to the symphony.” Car and Driver
“The new Grand Cherokee manages to provide on-road driving refinement that can go toe-to-toe with the best that the crossover segment has to offer — and it does so without sacrificing its considerable off-road capabilities.” Cars.com
“It's a no-excuses SUV if there ever was one and, in effect, takes on Land Rover at its own game. Let your brain wrap itself around that concept for a moment, and it becomes clear how much the Grand Cherokee has evolved.” Cars.com
“The 2011 Grand Cherokee pulls off the challenging feat of possessing a clear design connection with its predecessor while looking completely new and modern. It's clearly a Grand Cherokee, but it has a sleekness that its predecessor lacked.” Cars.com
“As you might expect, the combination of a rigid body and independent suspension gives the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee a far smoother ride with much more body control. On a long trek through Northern California across narrow mountain roads and high-speed freeways, the Grand Cherokee proved impressive. A quicker steering ratio and a supple front suspension helps this SUV carve confidently through the corners.” Edmunds Inside Line
“The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee represents a quantum leap for Chrysler’s ageless off-road brand. The wholesale revisions, updates and numerous high-tech additions give this fourth-generation wagon more passenger comfort and carrying capacity, not to mention improved off-road prowess.” Las Vegas Review Journal
“Most significantly, the distance between the front and rear wheels grows by 5.3 inches. That means wider and taller front and rear door openings plus considerably more reclining rear-seat knee and leg space, areas that have required Jeep’s undivided attention since the first 1993 GC hit the trail.” Las Vegas Review Journal
