2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

The 2015 Grand Cherokee is a midsize SUV that blends upscale comfort with genuine off-road capability, slotting above the Cherokee in Jeep's lineup. It competes with the Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, and Chevrolet Traverse, offering a more premium interior than most rivals. The Grand Cherokee drives with a composed, refined feel on pavement, while its available four-wheel-drive systems provide serious trail capability. Inside, the cabin is quiet and well-appointed, with available leather, wood trim, and a large touchscreen, plus generous cargo space. Reliability is a mixed bag, with some owners enjoying trouble-free miles while others report transmission and electrical issues. The Overland adds real wood interior trim, ventilated front seats, and the big panoramic sunroof over the Limited, while keeping the same 3.6L V6. Matched with the eight-speed automatic and Quadra-Trac II four-wheel drive, the 3.6L V6 makes 290 horsepower and returns 19 mpg combined. Only the Overland and Summit get the Quadra-Lift air suspension as standard equipment, which gives this Grand Cherokee a noticeably smoother ride on pavement and an extra four inches of ground clearance off-road.
