cnet.co/15qBehZ It's Jeep's version of the Land Rover, which means rugged and luxurious. Take a ride in our Editors' Choice, the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and check the tech.
These reviews are always entertaining to watch. "...and tell your kids to just roll down the window. That thing out there is called a tree." I nearly spit my tea all over my monitor.
I've been driving in 12 inches if snow today and its a dream its real quick to respond the brakes are on point i recommend it, the comfort is also a bonus
This is America who am I kiddin lmao ..... skip the rear blue ray and tell your kids too roll down a window that thing out there is a tree HAAHAHAHAHAHA
well ...unless you've got time to waste ...I would recommend you to stay away from this car ... I dreamt of owning one ...until I got one: an absolute LEMON : TEN (!!!) VISITS to a NON-caring dealership in less than a year !!! for a BRAND NEW 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE >:(
+Ra Melkon holy hell, give it a rest! We all get it! You got a lemon. Sucks for you, but the GC is actually a great vehicle! I've had my 2015 now for nearly a year now and no issues whatsoever! I'd recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a luxury SUV that is arguably one of the most capable you can buy.
He said it himself - it's an American Range Rover. As such, it needs to be as luxurious as it is capable off road. I think they did a really good job with that car. No wonder it's the reason why the whole Chrysler-jeep-dodge bunch didn't go bankrupt.
They are doing well compared to the time when Daimler was in charge but they are still in a brink of another one if they don't get a merger with another company.
Congratulations, hope you enjoy it. I had the 2011 brand new, I never drove a car with such great suspension, it's rugged and smooth in the same time, impossible to describe.
"truck" : a large, heavy motor vehicle used for transporting goods, materials, or troops. Literally the definition. Doesn't need to have a box bed to be a truck.
My parents have the limited edition 2013 JGC Trailhawk with the Hemi V8. It's the best Grand Cherokee for off-road. We wouldn't even trade it for a Mercedes SUV, and we feel that American pride when sitting next to a boring Japanese Crossover at a stoplight.
American pride, in a car built on a platform designed by Mercedes, with a German transmission, the option of an Italian diesel, all owned by a company that's Italian... *slow clap*
The video does point out that jeep has adaptive cruise control, and even shows how to use it. You can instantly tell which ones have it by the the little camera ball looking thing in the lower bumper
These are REALLY nice vehicles! Adaptive cruise is the best car invention of the decade (I'm addicted to it). Park assist? who cares, dont need it. The GC touchscreen/Nav is well thought out and simple to use - love it! Offroading has been mostly banned and closed off by many State governments -- so you wont be needing any so-called offroad capability anymore. Buy the Diesel for how it drives, not for a financial payback. The Hemi V8 is a blast but that 19 MPG will get old after a few fill ups. The Diesel is just as fun to drive as the Hemi but rewards you with 50% more MPG hwy when you don't have your foot in it. Once you tow with a Diesel, you will never go back -- worth $1300 over the Hemi. The $4 Diesel wont bother you pretty quickly. Want more room? The Durango is a stretched version with longer rear doors -- and is also a dream to drive. I'm impressed with Chrysler now compared to just 5 years ago when my opinion of them was near zero.
I've watched virtually every video review in existence on the new JGC (usually the day they come out) and yours is the one I have looked forward to the most. I have to say there's a few things I disagree with (e.g., at the Summit trim level, the diesel engine is only a $2300 option, not $5000). Having said that, thank you for your awesomeness!!!
Audi diesels are the only diesels i would every consider buying. idc if people say their diesels aren't reliable or blah blah... they're the most efficient diesels in terms of power to fuel consumption
***** As a performance yes it is a bargain, but the interior can be better. The plastics and the silver trims are cheap to touch. They could use better materials and that is not a bad thing.
not because i have a 2012 grand cherokee to me is one of the best suv on the market some people are talking about 3 row seat i thank that will be a mistake 3row seat will mess up the shape because that will make it looks longer and also i am talking to crysler company don't even think about to change the shape let it stay the same for years only little bit modifications just like bmw benz or range Rover do so far no complaints crysler is doing a great job
looks great ...BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF buying it ...I got an ABSOLUT LEMON ...TEN visits to the dealership in less than A YEAR ......for a brand new car: UNACCEPTABLE !!!
Trail-Rated is available in almost all trims, except the Summit, I believe. (Much to my dismay.) This is due to the 20" tires instead of the 18" tires for the Trail-Rated badge.
...REALLY ??? then how is it that I've had to visit the dealership TEN times in less than a year ...and that's for a BRAND NEW 2014 GRAND CHEROKEE ...my experience: an ABSOLUTE LEMON !!! ......although a BEAUTIFUL one !!!
Whoa, I just made a comment yesterday Brian should review 2014 GC. I just bought one Monday. I have the Limited which is 5,000 less than this model. I love my GC. I opt out standard tires,rims N gt 20 inch chrome special. The GC has a lot of tech, he didn't talk abt a few. Like the Eco select, press that button n you will save gas. I love the ride and tech. I test drove X5, JX, MDX and GLK. GC was so much better in my opinion. I am going upload vid on RU-vid bc there aren't a lot personal vids
i really think that auto journalists need to get over being upset that automakers separate FM/AM/XM in one bucket and SD/USB/iPod/bluetooth in another bucket. it helps keep the folders uncluttered and in my mind is a bit more logically arranged. plus with most cars, its easy to switch between the buckets so there really isnt much use in bitching about it anymore.
nice calculation, but now take into account lower maintenance cost of diesel, the additional lifespan of the diesel, towing capacity and the amount of fun they are (due to much higher torque). I would take the diesel any day of the week
I e-mailed Jeep re Adaptive Cruise. Here is what they say: Adaptive Cruise Control feature is standard factory equipped on the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit model and available for factory order on the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited & Overland models equipped with the factory optional Advanced Technology Group & includes: Advanced Brake Assist Forward Collision Warning Plus Auto Dim Exterior Passenger Mirror Enhanced Adaptive Cruise Control Blind Spot and Cross Path Detection
The engine isnt bad. Ive driven the 2013 model and over all your definitely getting your moneys worth. But I got the impression that tye engine has to work particularly hard on climbs or when fully loaded. The main issue is suspect is a proper transmission and an engine that lacks adequate tuning. That v6 penta can crank ouy an aditional 30 torque& hp
YUP ...POSSIBLY PAID BY Chrysler ...I've PERSONALLY have had the WORST experience with this car ...and I bought it BRAND NEW !!! TEN visits to the dealership in less than a year .......NOT GOOD !!!
I would go as far to say that Brian Cooley is to America like how Jeremy Clarkson is to UK. He should be hired by the Top Gear USA team to replace the existing clowns in that show. Brian Cooley ROCKS.
I like the direction Chrysler is heading. They are starting to become world class cars. If only Chrysler could build a car to take on the likes of the S Class, 7 Series and A8.
if youre the kind of person who keeps their cars well past 200k miles, like to offroad, and does frequent roadtrips of over 500 miles then yes it makes a lot of sense. A lot of people dont need the diesel and THATS FINE. But some people do and will put it to good use.
SUV's are becoming more aerodynamic. Aerodynamics means saving $. I would not compare the new Jeep to the Success or failure of the past SUV's of other companies from past times. This is in a class of it's own. Insurance rates will be better for this new Jeep.
I hate when people complain about how a truck is too nice for what it's worth. I you want a less luxurious truck Cooley, just get a wrangler. People don't buy a GC for just a "pure experience".
