With a complete makeover in the 2005 model year, the Jeep Grand Cherokee continues its stark streak of handling roadways and off-road terrain with relative ease – thanks to a choice of powerful engines housed within a durable steel uniframe constructed body. The SUV stays on course without any significant changes for 2006. That’s fine since the vehicle is a grand marshal offering, even in light of a baffling front A-pillar design that makes it too easy for the driver’s head to strike the door’s frame when entering the Grand Cherokee. Beyond that, the vehicle’s strength is in part demonstrated via 3 different engine choices, including a HEMI offering – a 5.7-liter V8 that produces 330 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 375 pounds-feet of peak torque at 4000 rpm. Stacked with standard fare – like rain sensitive windshield wipers, AM/FM/CD 6-disc MP3 radio, 8-way power driver’s seat with memory – the 2006 model year means the addition of items like an electronic stability program and one-touch up/down front door windows. The Grand Cherokee Limited features an array of staples, including unique 17-inch machined face aluminum wheels, adjustable roof rack rails, and power adjustable pedals with memory. The four-wheel-drive Limited Jeep Grand Cherokee – with 5.7-liter V8 and 5-speed automatic transmission with lockup torque converter – earns estimated fuel per gallon numbers of 15 city and 20 highway. The MSRP for the Limited Grand Cherokee is $36,005.
