One of the standard bearers in ever-evolving world of SUVs, the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a brand-new turbodiesel engine, an exterior freshening, and a host of new amenities this year.

The Grand Cherokee is available in 5 distinct trim levels – the capable Laredo, the loaded Limited, rugged Overland, custom Rocky Mountain Edition, and hot-rod SRT8. Engine choices range from a new 3.0 liter Turbo CRD diesel, a selection of V6 and V8 engines, and the 420-horsepower 6.1 liter V8 in the SRT8.

Standard two-wheel drive models provide rear-wheel drive acceleration and good towing ability. For more serious off-road pursuits and hauling capability, several 4x4 systems are available, from full-time Quadra-Trac® 4WD to the ultimate Quadra-Drive® 4WD system with an Electronic Limited Slip Differential. Either way, the Jeep can handle the rough stuff with ease. Handling capabilities are enhanced with an advanced Electronic Stability control system with all-speed traction control, brake assist, and Electronic Roll Mitigation. These systems work together by applying selective wheel braking and engine throttle control to help maintain directional stability. New Trailer Sway Control helps to reduce trailer sway and improved handling even in crosswinds or heavy traffic. Standard on 4x4 models, Hill Descent Control allows smooth and controlled descents on rough or slippery terrain. Hill Start Assist helps the vehicle climb from a stop on a hill by applying appropriate brake pressure.

Interior amenities include a selection of high-quality leather trims and available heated seats for wintertime comfort. Available SIRIUS® Backseat TV™ offers an array of family-friendly channels to entertain on-the-go families. A new option for 2008, the MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System features a 276-watt Premium Sound System with six speaker, interactive touch-screen capability, voice-activated navigation, and real-time traffic updates for superior driving. It also features a ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera helping to ensure safe parking maneuvers. You can also upload pictures and up to 1,600 songs on its 20 GB internal hard drive.

Still one of the best SUVs on the market, the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to evolve and mature into a sophisticated luxury vehicle while retaining its rugged off-road capabilities.
