Our quick take
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT - 4.0 / 5
A voice of blockbuster proportions
America 1 Germany 0
Premium, not so much
A game-changer in touchscreen designs
To recap
As American as Apple pie, the Grand Cherokee SRT is updated as a 2014 model with styling changes, an upgraded interior and an 8-speed gearbox. For an SUV it’s fun to drive and is unnervingly fast. ‘Hemi’ engine makes a great noise, though likes a drink. Rest of the package appeals overall and usefully undercuts the German opposition although it doesn’t feel as premium. Allow yourself to be won over by its character though, and none of this matters.
