    2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee review, test drive

    There's plenty of room both front and rear and a sizeable, well-shaped boot for your luggage. So, space and size isn't an issue. The driving position is really good, the front seats are massive, meaning fantastic comfort, and equipment levels aren't too bad either. The quality of the sat-nav isn't up there with Jeep’s German rivals and plastic quality is nowhere near as good as an Audi or a Mercedes, and that's a bit of a let-down. What's shocking, however, is how well the new Cherokee diesel drives.

    On the road, the Jeep is not only comfortable but also commendably quiet. Wind noise is well suppressed, the engine purrs unless pulled hard and the suspension dismisses poor patches of road with surprising nonchalance. There is very little bobbing or pitching and body roll is well contained too, for the most part. The comfortable suspension, tall gearing and relaxed engine make this a really impressive boulevard cruiser, imbibing some American character after all.
