2007 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
That and MPG are the only real faults so far after 15000 miles and 15 mons. I think our 2001 GC has more seat comfort although the 07s seats do fold over easier than the 01s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |
2005 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Very little leg room for an adult. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |
