WHILE THE AWESOME Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 6.4-litre V8-engine model is available in the UK under special order, it is obviously only ever going to be of limited sales success; due to the price and thirsty engine. A more down-to-earth ‘performance’ Jeep is now available, however, with the ‘Sports Line’ version, the S-Limited. Carbon-fibre trim adorns the interior, together with ventilated sports-styled Nappa leather seats, with bright racing styed pedals. The S-Limited has the standard Grand Cherokee features of Quadra-Lift air suspension, Quadra-Trac II four-wheel drive, with external tweaks including black grille and tail light bar, and black gloss 20-inch alloy wheels. The model comes with the 3-litre V6 CRD diesel engine and has an on-the-road price tag of £44,595. Adding these extra sporting touches are aimed at introducing the Grand Cherokee to a whole new group of customers. In our view, you don’t need the flash bits, if you are interested, go and take a test drive – you won’t be disappointed.
