SRT 4dr SUV 4WD (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
Very agressive and torqy, nice sounding exhaust. Very fun to drive, lots of technology and buttons to push. It is a sports vehicle and rides a little rough in sport mode and very rough in agressive mode. I do not mine the rough ride because it handle very well with the stiffer settings. Gas mileage is around 12 mpg in sport mode and a little worse in aggressive mode. Eco mode I was able … to get about 21 mpg on the highway, driving it like it was a Prius. Overall, I am very satisfied with the vehicle!

I have owned the Mercedes S 65. Cost $148,000. Very nice first class. I also owned A Porsche Cayenne GTS. It cost $125,000. Again nice quality SUV. But was bored with it in 2 years. This jeep SRT is a man’s car. cost $70,000. It is just as powerful or more powerful. Forget low profile tires. The jeep has full size tires rides. It has a masculine feeling compared to low-profile tires. … The exhaust system has a sound Of POWER ! It’s not a “soccer moms” car. I DRIVE my Jeep, And it is indestructible at 20,000 miles with no service except change oil.

This is the best car I've ever had and I have had a LOT of cars in the last 10 years. It's so luxurious, drives great and all of the bells and whistles are totally worth it.

Which Grand Cherokee does Edmunds recommend?
There's no bad Grand Cherokee in the lineup, and picking one is largely about getting the capabilities you want or need. But if we had to choose just one, we'd go with the Trailhawk trim level. With special features such as off-road skid plates and low range gearing, it's prepared for any trail you might want to tackle. It's still useful for your daily commute, too, and can be fitted with pretty much all of Jeep's luxury-oriented features.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV
Driving
With many available engines and trim levels, there's a lot to choose from on the Grand Cherokee, but no matter which model you go with, off-road performance is rather good, even if handling isn't top-notch. The top-level Summit model we tested is the only Grand Cherokee that's not Trail Rated.
Comfort
The Grand Cherokee has excellent sound deadening, plus supportive seats and plenty of room to stretch out. Although we expected good things from the air suspension, it suffers in the city, struggling to soak up smaller bumps.
Interior
Jeep's most recent improvements certainly make the Grand Cherokee's cabin a nice place to be. The Uconnect infotainment system, materials and controls are at the top of the class, though the touchscreen forces too many steps for certain functions.
Utility
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a capable tow rig and has decent cargo space. But three-row SUVs offer even more interior space.
Technology
Though the Uconnect system in the Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most user-friendly on the market, our test vehicle had several issues with reliability during operation. Knobs often failed to respond to inputs, and the satellite radio cut out so many times that we lost track.
