Preview at the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a midsize SUV that saw its last major redesign back in 2005, since then, overall handling and suspension performance have improved drastically. For a five passenger SUV, off-road capabilities are excellently executed and acceleration capacity is impressive; unfortunately, fuel economy is not up to par and the interior is quite cramped. The V8 engine delivers nicely with a whole lot of grunt.
The Grand Cherokee comes in three different trim levels that include the base Laredo, the Limited (both can be equipped with either RWD or 4WD) and the SRT8 which is only available with all-wheel drive. The Laredo features alloyed 17-inch wheels, outside heated mirrors, a tilt-and-telescoping steering column including audio controls, A/C, full powered accessories, cruise control, a trip computer, an eight-way power driver-seat, a rear 60/40-split seats, a CD stereo with six speakers, an audio auxiliary jack and satellite radio. Options you can choose from for the Laredo trim include foglights, sunroof, a rear back-up camera as well as rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, a rearview auto-dimming mirror, heating front seats, upholstery made of leather, remote ignition, power-adjustable pedals, a front powered front passenger seat, a navigation system as well as real-time traffic, Bluetooth, a digital music storage hard-drive, an upgraded stereo, and iPod interface.
The Limited trim level includes the above Laredo features plus dual-zoned climate control, memory functions for the driver seat, rear heating seats and rain-sensing wipers while the SRT8 is also equipped with all the Laredo features plus 20-inches of wheels, larger brakes, a sport suspension, exterior specialized styling enhancements, front sport seats, a high performance trip computer, suede/leather upholstery, trim made of leather, a body-heat climate control sensor and a sound system with 11 speakers.
The 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim levels come with a V-6 3.7-liter that produces up to 210 hp and 235 foot pound of torque but, you could opt for a Hemi V-8 5.7-liter engine that can produce 357 horses and 389 foot pound of torque while the SRT8 model comes with a V-8 6.1-liter generating 420 horses and 420 foot pound of torque with all models coupled up with a five-speed automatic tranny. The V-6 gets a fuel economy of 16/21/18 mpg (in 2WD), the V8 models get a rate of 14/20/16 mpg while the 4WD models estimate at 13/19/15 and the AWD SRT8 gets an estimation of 12/16/13 mpg fuel economy.
Safety features include antilock brakes, side curtain airbags, stability control and a roll-over detection system for added protection. Off-road and on-road, this vehicle handles surprisingly well and the steering is nicely precise although, the suspension is a tad on the bumpy side when hitting those annoying potholes but all-in-all the 2010 Grand Cherokee has great acceleration and nice quick steering for those unforgiving corners that our bound to cross your path.
