    The Jeep Grand Cherokee is an all-terrain 4.75 m long with five-door body. It is only available with the 3.0 CRD diesel engine from 218 hp and the petrol 6.1-liter 426 hp.

    The Diesel has three levels of equipment available: Laredo, Limited and Overland. The SRT8 has a variety of aesthetic and functional changes that restrict their operation out of the asphalt. All have traction total (there are two types), automatic change and reductive (except the SRT8).

    This model remains one of the broader terrains of their size, especially by the width available: behind there is room for three adults.

    Jeep has corrected in the 2008 range in the absence of depth adjustment of the steering wheel which had the previous range. Thus it is easier to find a correct position to drive. In addition, all versions except the Laredo, allow electrically regulate the distance that the pedals are thus even easier to find the most suitable position. On the carrier where there are numerous holes leaving, either on the doors or on the dashboard.

    Dynamically, the Jeep Grand Cherokee out for the high absorption capacity provided by its suspension, on top models like the BMW X5 or the Volkswagen Touareg, and it provides a very high comfort both on-road and tracks of land. A Range Rover Sport is at least as comfortable as this Jeep, but has a more sophisticated suspension (springs tires).

    Diesel engine from 218 hp (the same as that used Mercedes-Benz, but less powerful) is the best there is for performance, noise and smoothness of operation. In addition, at the time of initiating the motion is not perceived lack of strength that is the engine that carried some 2.7 TDV6 Land Rover models, while the Jeep does not achieve a very smooth operation. Little is heard from within and, moreover, does not sound typically Diesel. The vibrations transmitted to the interior when running at idle speed are minimal.

    According to the mark, the Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD reaches 200 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.0 s. The average consumption is 10.2 l/100 km approved. Their performance and consumption are worse than those of a BMW X5 3.0do a Mercedes-Benz ML 320 CDI (which has the same engine that Jeep but some modifications that make it more potent); those of a Volkswagen Touareg are very similar.

    There are changes in the system of traction against the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee: the so-called Quadra Drive II, which has three lockable differentials, it's just a standard production version in Overland though, optionally, can take the Laredo and Limited versions. The Quadra Drive II system provides very high capacity traction and it works very gently, in the style of the drive system of the Range Rover Sport.

    Laredo, Limited and SRT8 come from the factory with the Quadra Trac II: This device takes only a longitudinal lock (the central differential), and is the traction control which is responsible for curbing the wheel spins on each axis, simulating a kind locking differentials front and rear.

    The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a speed control on descents ( "Hill Descent Control 'HDC), activated only if it is traveling with the reductive, and one of assisting the start ramp (" Hill Start Assist, HSA) that keeps the 2 s car during braking after the driver lifts the foot from the brake pedal. The stability control has a role to stabilize a trailer.

    The equipment of the simplest (Laredo) has four air bags, stability control with anti-function, two zones of climate control or computer, among others. The Limited also has fog lights, adjustable pedals, seats with electric adjustment, leather upholstery and touchscreen (without the browser, which is optional).

    The Overland also brings practicable glass roof, xenon headlights, rear camera parking aid, browser, Bluetooth connection and some protections for low.
    These protections are available to the rest of the versions together with the traction system Quadra-Drive II (1,088 €).

    Like other models of DaimlerChrysler (such as the Dodge Avenger), the Jeep Grand Cherokee can have a color touch screen that covers the controls of the navigation system, stereo and telephone. This system includes a 20 GB hard drive capacity to store music or pictures.

    Both transmission systems use the same central differential, which has a multi-clutch and a hydraulic pump. The PBX sends a signal to the pump (depending on the data collected by various sensors), increasing or decreasing the pressure on the circuit. This will produce a greater or lesser coupling between the clutch discs. The coupling can be anything from zero to the total. Under normal conditions the front wheels do 48 percent of the force that drives the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the rear 52.

    The program also recognizes the difference in the situations that might occur predictably lost traction, as a strong booted from stationary, and tries to anticipate them. The Quadra-Drive II is distinguished from the Quadra-Trac II because it has self front and rear differentials.

    In this case, an electric motor moves a cam that acts on the mechanism of the spread. Depending on the engine displacement applied on the cam, it produces a greater or lesser coupling (can be total).

    Provided that the direction is not straight, it automatically unlocks the front differential to facilitate the rotation and not force the transmission. In the system simpler Quadra-Trac II, the role of the self is done with the brakes, by controlling traction.
