The all-new 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is on the lot and
ready to drive at Mount Airy Chrysler
Dodge Jeep Ram. Rated by Car and
Driver as the #1 mid-size two-row SUV, the 2017 Grand
Cherokee is an SUV force to reckon with. The Grand Cherokee boasts a 3.6-liter
V-6 engine with 295 horsepower, 8-speed automatic transmission, 25 MPG highway,
keyless start, and back-up camera, among many other great features. This is all
excellent on paper, but that only goes so far. What truly matters is the actual
day-to-day driving experience. So what is it like to get behind the wheel of
the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
First Impressions
The first thing you notice when you get into the driver’s
seat of the 2017
Grand Cherokee is a particular combination of sophistication and comfort.
The wood grain interior trim and touchscreen display add a touch of luxury to
the Grand Cherokee’s rugged essence. The cabin is both spacious and cozy at the
same time, creating the perfect mid-size SUV feel. There is comfort and ease of
movement, but you don’t feel like you are in a giant empty cave. On a related
note, one significant yet easy-to-overlook aspect of any vehicle’s interior is
the way the front and back seats relate to one another. The 2017 Grand Cherokee
provides easy access between the two, but there is a subtle sense of
separation, too, which will come in handy on those long road trips and soccer
game carpools.
A Smooth and Quiet
Ride
One impressive feature of the 2017
Grand Cherokee is how quietly it runs. This is achieved by the placement of
noise-absorbing material (similar to what is used in sound studios) both under
the hood and in the tire wells. It truly makes a difference, and it is a detail
that seems small but in the long run makes a big difference. The value of a
smooth-running quiet drive, day in and day out, is immense. Beyond the quiet,
the physical feel of the drive is smooth as well. From putting the car in gear
to turning the steering wheel to pumping the brakes, there is an overall sense
of ease to the Grand Cherokee’s movements.
Performance
Don’t be fooled: Though quiet and smooth-driving as a luxury
sedan, the Grand Cherokee can get up and go, and it handles like a champ. It is
perfect as an everyday commuter SUV, but it can also get dirty. With
four-wheel-drive, the Grand Cherokee can handle just about anything you throw
at it, from snow to mud to winding mountain roads.
