Road test: Jeep Grand Cherokee

With a new Grand Cherokee just around the corner, we thought it was time to give the current model a good going over. AOL Cars gets behind the wheel.

What is it?

Jeep's biggest SUV (in the UK at least) – the Grand Cherokee. It might be due a facelift in just a few months, but that's not to say the current model isn't worth a look. We've been handed the keys to the S-Limited special edition model, with sporty gloss black alloys and an aggressive black grille.

What's under the bonnet?

In our model, a 3.0-litre V6 diesel that you'll also find in the Chrysler 300C. It's very smooth indeed, and makes a rather glorious purr-come-roar as you pull away from traffic lights – we liked it very much. In such a large, square-fronted car it does like a drink however – though that's probably to be expected.
