What at first seems like an unlikely question, comes into focus when price is mentioned. $226,806 for a base Range Rover compared to a shade over $98,000 for a 5-seat Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. You can get the full silk cravat treatment at $126,000-ish for the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit PHEV.
The 5-seater is shorter than the big mama, and looks better for it. Grand Cherokee Overland’s looks may or may not tickle your fancy, but no one can deny the big, impressive SUV has the distinguished air of dinner-suited guest. It all grown up, yet shows subtle hints of playful youth.
Jeep looked into its parts bin to put armfuls of delicious technology designed to take its passengers wherever they want.
It’s hard to pick a place to start, and as we headed to the Cottages, the 87L petrol tank was brimmed. A heavy foot does dreadful things to the fuel figures, but you don’t seem to mind much when a light foot gives a soothing, regal road trip.
The 4x4 system has programmes for far-flung fun, but it is the road performance where Grand Cherokee Overland makes you feel like a queen. Air suspension squats so sir doesn’t sprain his ego getting out. Height depends on what the big SUV is asked to do, but most of it seems to happen magically after selecting the terrain ahead.
