For the last six years, Grand Cherokee owners have rated the vehicle as the SUV best targeted to its owners’ wants and needs,” said George Peterson, president of AutoPacific, Inc. “Grand Cherokee owners want very little changed. This is a testament to the excellence Jeep planners, designers and engineers have in understanding exactly what their customers want.”

The 2016 awards are based on responses from more than 65,000 owners of new model year 2015 and 2016 vehicles across all major manufacturers. Surveyed after 90 days of ownership, respondents were asked what changes they would make to their car or truck in 15 key categories, including ride and handling, interior storage, safety features, power and acceleration and technology.

Engine choices include a powerful and economical Turbo Diesel, the acclaimed Pentastar V6 petrol engine and two V8 engines, including the 6.4 litre Hemi V8 which endows the Jeep Grand Cherokee with supercar performance.
