Jeep Grand Cherokee Photo Gallery

Athletic stance, but less overtly sporty than the original JGC SRT8.

Any interior color you want as long as it's black with real carbon fiber trim.

Prominent center exhaust is gone.

The 470-horsepower 6.4-liter V8 isn't hidden under a cover.

The Vapor Package includes an entirely black grille, black wheels, and some other black trim.

Best from this angle. Note vents in hood.

Big red brake calipers and one-inch lower ride height identify this as an SRT8.

Instrument panel upholstered in leather, but some buttons feel cheap.

The 2011 redesign included some much-needed additional legroom.

Typical volume for a mid-size SUV, but high floor. (Didn't notice so much snow at the time.)

Updated face for 2014, still clearly a Jeep.

Muscular stance, even on the Off Road Group's 18-inch wheels.

About as attractive as an SUV gets. Artful combination of rugged and sophisticated.

Off Road Group's 18s don't fill wheel openings like the 20s do. But this is a real SUV, after all.

Grand Cherokee SRT has 470-horsepower V8, 20-inch five-spoke wheels.

Styling cleaner than most these days, yet full of character.

Clean, understated styling inside the Grand Cherokee as well.

Once the top trim level, the Limited is now in the middle of the range.

Not all of the switches have a quality feel, but the controls are among the easiest to use.

LCD + analog cluster doesn't look as upscale here as in the Dart. Diesel has low red line.

Electronic systems expand the Grand Cherokee's off-roading capabilities.

Much roomier back seat than pre-2011 Grand Cherokees.

Nicely finished cargo area. Subwoofer in right side panel.

Not quite as much cargo volume as a Honda CR-V or RAV4. But competitive with other upscale SUVs.

Engine cover helps suppress noise of the diesel, but still much louder than the VW/Audi TDI.

Remove its cover, and the diesel engine remains buried under its plumbing.
