Jeep practically invented the luxury SUV segment when it first introduced the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This vehicle combined the ruggedness and dependability of a Jeep with the luxury associated with the cars manufactured by Jeep's brand mates, Chrysler and Dodge. For the first time, drivers were able to have a roomy vehicle that could stand up to whatever nature sent its way, while at the same time being easy to drive with comfortable seats and a stereo system that would be music to the ears of any audiophile. Jeep took the luxury SUV concept one step further when it took the same approach and applied it to an older model, the Jeep Cherokee.

Driving Is Believing
When you get behind the wheel of a new vehicle, you want to know that it can perform the way you desire. Too many cars are underpowered, as automakers strive to improve fuel economy at the expense of overall performance. Others may have a great pickup, but their handling leaves a lot to be desired. With the 2020 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, neither of those is a problem.
These two SUVs are fun to drive, have exceptional handling, and provide multiple engine options so that you can choose which one fits your lifestyle the best. The Cherokee is front-wheel drive standard while the Grand Cherokee is rear-wheel drive standard. But both are available with exceptional four-wheel drive systems that make them ideal in snow and ice, as well as when you go off-road.
