Rank: 5
Previous Rank: 41
Base MSRP: $36,205
Jeep aficionados, take a screen shot of this particular entry.
We've been wrong before, certainly, and Jeep did recently announce that
the Grand Cherokee would be available in an ethanol-friendly version for
2007. But after just driving by a downtown Los Angeles gas station
charging $3.68 for their lowest-octane unleaded, it seems highly unlikely
that the Grand Cherokee SUV which pulls between 14 and 17 mpg city,
depending on the trim level is going to be the subject of quite as many
dealer price-quote inquiries during this second quarter of 2006.
And that's not just based on our own speculation; as The New York Times
reported, sales of the Cherokee were down 41 percent in April 2006,
compared to the same month in 2005.
The Grand Cherokee was redesigned in 2005, although not radically.
If you squint, the five-passenger ute resembles a station wagon; style-
wise, its a precursor to the current crossover phenomenon. The G.C. also
has that distinctively styled front grille seven same-size rectangles,
black negative space divided by a silver frame, looking like some modern
city's skyline.
The Cherokee comes in seven styles, five of which are four-wheel drives.
For the 2006 model year, Jeep released the Grand Cherokee SRT8, which is
powered by a 6.1-liter Hemi V8, borrowed from parent company
DaimlerChrysler. This upgrade provides 415 hp and 410 pound-feet of
torque. It also means the SUV can power from zero to 60 mph in less than
five seconds. And it looks powerful, riding on 20-inch tires and flashy
wheels.
