2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

Advanced All-Terrain Vehicle

A three-quarter front view of a silver 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

In short: A comfortable and luxe off-road capable SUV.

With the 2011 edition of its iconic Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle, Jeep raises the bar with more power, bigger dimensions, and all-around better performance. Replacing the 2010 year model's 3.7-liter, 210-horsepower V6 is an even more powerful and fuel-efficient 3.6-liter, 290-horsepower V6; however, with a combined EPA rating of 18 mpg, we're still not exactly talking about Prius-style fuel sipping. Also available is an optional 5.7-liter Hemi V8 for the truly power-hungry and fuel-thirsty off-roaders.
