The 2004 Grand Cherokee draws admiring glances and comments everywhere it goes. The interior of the Grand Cherokee is attractive and comfortable. Jeep's available high-output 4.7-liter V8 is lively. This engine provides the Grand Cherokee with smooth acceleration performance, and it sounds refined. The five-speed automatic transmission that comes standard with the V8 engines shifts nicely. A surprisingly tight turning circle adds to the Jeep's spirited, nimble feel. The Grand Cherokee feels controlled and steady when driving down a bumpy, rutted rural lane or off road. There's no need to slow down for rough railroad crossings. All Grand Cherokees stop with four-wheel-disc brakes and ABS. The Grand Cherokee is a popular choice for families who revel in its rugged image.
