In the past, the Jeep, Grand Cherokee, was one of the favourites to own was the fastest on the road with the ability to handle rough terrains with ease. But it wasn’t an easy keep we have to admit. Thanks to a bit of Mercedes influence, the Grand Cherokee looks good and capable and comes with an engine variant for those concerned with frugality.

According to Autoblog.com on the road, the 3.0-liter V6 CRD in the Grand Cherokee 4×4 is smooth as butter. The 237 horsepower is, of course, fine. The 3.0 CRD can accelerate a Grand Cherokee 4×4 to 60 mph in just 8.0 seconds, which is close to the estimated time for the 5.7-liter V8. It also has the same 7,700-plus pound towing capacity. EPA numbers would still need to be run certainly, but by our conversion. The 3.0 CRD should be capable of 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. That’s a far cry from the 16/22 mpg estimated from Chrysler’s new 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar engine with the 4×4 setup. These numbers put the CRD’s potential total range from a full 24.7-gallon tank at right around 800 miles. This shows diesel cars aren’t bad at all. If Julius Berger Nigeria can keep diesel Golf for a long time in great car then this car comes as a great potential. After all, these are common rail diesel engines- much easier to manage.
