This John Davis is a fucking LEGEND! Sick as Fuck!

LOL @ omitting the mpg for the V8 ! "It just goes downhill from there."

I've owned mine for 1.5 years (Laredo X) and no problems with it at all. Drives beautiful, comfy and good on gas. Very safe too - had to do a swerve maneuver to avoid an oncoming car coming into my lane while i was doing 80km and it handled it sooooo well!! Saved my but:) LOVE MY JGC.

Doesnt he mean 4TH generation?

My girlfriend and I rented a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo from out company Enterprise Rent-A-Car for a week. We took a trip from Austin, Tx to Oklahoma City, Ok and got there on 1 tank of fuel. Very comfortable suv, and quiet on the inside. The lighting accents inside he door panels and cup holders was a very nice feature. Having push button ignition and the touch sensitive door handles were very convenient. Wouldn't love to own this suv. Good Job Jeep & Chrysler.

I jus got one yesterday and I could not be happier, fit and finish is on par with any good brand. Drives better than my old x5 on the road and I am sure will outperform it when I take to the dirt.

If I remember correctly, this is the Grand Cherokee that was based on a version of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV. At least this vehicle wasn't ruined by Mercedes-Benz tactics(like all of DaimlerChrysler).

Good presentation video for the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Nice features. As for a correction this is the 4th generation Jeep Grand Cherokee and not the 3rd generation like what was mentioned at the beginning of the video.

Finally it was time to come up with something new and current. Nicely done Chrysler! The new king of the all terrain vehicles is here!

My 2012 Pick for SUV of the Year.

@VIRAJ818 For a 5000 lb vehicle, 16 city and 22-23 mpg highway is actually very good. The HEMI V8 with 13 city/20 highway, but if you drive the vehicle on the highway more frequently it'll be better especially with HEMI having a cylander cut-off mode. Also in '13, I hear the 8-speed auto is coming with the Pentastar. As of '12, the HEMI V8 has a 6-speed auto like that of the RAM trucks and cousin Dodge Durango.

@SilverRaptorXL i was doing some research and you are right about the suv and crossover i learn something new thanks to this discussion.

When such a great vehicle offers so much, AND can do so much, I wouldn't really care about the MPG.

@SilverRaptorXL the rx430 an suv a crossover is the fj cruiser,jeep Wrangler,hummer h2 they are cross-over .

Range Rover, Mercedes Benz G-Wagon, Original Hummer, this and the Wrangler top my off road list. I must say Jeep did a spot on job with this.

I like how John reminds his listeners who copied who first, lol. I actually had to be reminded after all these recent years of watching that competitor set the technological trend for everyone else.

@ccastillo124 I think he is returning to the point he made earlier about the Grand Cherokee being the "first luxury SUV". Ive never really considered any jeep "luxury"

@SilverRaptorXL kool. I'm gonna go check it out tomorrow after work. I can't wait to see if they will ever do an srt-8 version again.

@JasnoGT The only problem with the Wagoneer is that they never updated it since Chrysler didn't know what to do with it after they bought Amc Motors.

@SilverRaptorXL Yeah but then the black box reports said that those people's cars that "suddenly accelerated" never had the brake depressed. so basically ppl kept pressing the accelerator thinking it was the brake pedal, also the lexus incident was not the pedal, it was the carpet mats, which technically can happen on any car.

Nice truck, exactly what jeep should have introduced in 2003-2004

@MrCodPiece I dont know about sticking accelerator issues but If I remember correctly the late 80's-early 90's Pontiac Bonneville had unintended acceleration issues.

@jeep4jeep he always does that with a totally new model, to show the improvement over the old car.

Nice car, and nice design. I like how jeep aims for it to be more of a luxury SUV.

@Snapper314 i had to rent a 4runner and by the third day it broke down. they got it running again but the plastic fender well fell off. and the plastic piece under the car. the interior alo fell apart. i was dissapointed and made thm give me something else.

@tigerdjk that would be awesome, but most range rovers cost 10-30K more than the jeep, so i don't think they would test them together.

@saab93driver Sorry but you can get an overland summit out the door with good credit for about 44k. Thats still 10k cheaper than LR4. Or you can get a limited out the door for 36k and have 20k left over and it will go anywher the LR4 goes and have about the same features.

@StuinthaHouse That's what happens when you become owned by an Italian automaker! I like it!

first luxury SUV? What about Land Rover?

@g20s10silveradoman Range rovers are over priced junk that have all kinds of issues. Not to mention they look like card board boxes with 4 wheels.

@saab93driver Yeah, and it will be about double the price of even the Overland Grand Cherokee.

My buddy just got one of these and we went off roading. It didn't have a prayer of keeping up with my 95 F150! lol and my F150 only has Goodyear Wranglers (A Blocky All-Terrain Tire)

@RJBbass2000 Strand - I remember back in the 90's Land Rover started having parts manufactured in india, a long time before Tata.... The parts were shipped to the UK for final assembly for the defender. I'm glad the UK have held on to some of the production, it's a real shame its that the British motor industry went under because they were always on strike and poor management, which was probably why they ended up privatised. MG - a proud name now owned by the Chinese!! geez!!

@alexcheetah79 He probably means for the American market. Interesting enough though its been debated that the Jeep Wagoneer was the 1st real luxury SUV, not sure if it preceded the original Range Rover.

This is a tank!

I wonder if you still have to run it in reverse, until it comes out of 4-wheel drive mode, was my only complaint about mine years ago!

cool jeep but i dont like how the deleted the strait alxe for IFS.

i hope they comeout with the srt8 because i want one

Had a 2013 overland and I loved how comfortable it was and how smooth the 5.7 Hemi was. The only problem was shit started going wrong with it at around 50,000 miles.I had 2 ignition coil packs fail in about 2 months time and the hood started rusting out along the front edge,All this at only 52,000 miles! Needless to say I traded it in for a Lexus GX460 and haven't looked back.

How do you find the leather seats in this jeep? Does it have lots of support and cushion.

Still the best, and still the original.

@SilverRaptorXL i am concerned about fuel economy thats why i have a hybrid lexus rx-450 it does 33mpg in the city vs 15 for the v6 jeep ho sorry i mean 10mpg for the v8.you really want top know the best suv is a secret i can tell you

@SilverRaptorXL you really dont know about cars an suv means SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE is have highway tires designed more for road use crossover mean cross over obstacles like rocks,mud sand and more designed for offroad but can be used for road too

@Motorweek Why does it have two air filters on the same factory intake tube ?

@Eagle99001 Correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying that because your Toyota didn't fall apart in its first 55k that means Jeep sucks? My stock WJ is at 140k miles (in northern Canadian weather) and it is still running smooth as all hell despite the fact that I beat the living shit out of it and cheap out on maintainence. While I'm not lining up to own the first year of this generation due to all the new technology in it, I sure as hell want to get behind the wheel of one.

@tinleo333 well actually more so thank you mercedez and jeep than fiat. lol. I didn't know this but according to autolinedetroit, jeep has been showing pictures of this jeep for a few years now. i'm very proud of them. but mercedez and fiat both did have a hand in this vehicle being released. can't wait to test drive one. lol.

H2's are really really heavy, their front axels always break when doing rock crawling etc. They are better than a lot of suvs for off roading. However if your going to be doing serious stuff H1 are the best, if you want to spend 100k

@nfldude28 Wow that sucks in america they start at 29K and top out fully loaded around 50k but for a well equipped limited its 40k ish

@JimJ989 don't bother arguing with him. Dude wants to support the Japanese,let 'em! I've never owned an import, and I'm on my 2nd American car. Only because, I wanted something more up to date, and I put 230,000 miles on my last one. But your right, American cars are better!

@SilverRaptorXL amen to that.

i like this program but the first luxury suv is the land rover not jeep

shouldn't it be the 4th Gen? Gen 1: 1993-1998 Gen 2: 1999-2004 Gen 3: 2005-2010 Gen 4: 2011-

Looks good with the Aussie $ at parity it's cheap to!

what about the srt 8 trim

Why does everyone have their info wrong....its based off the 2012 ML platform....not current!

@ricepaddy69 Thanks for the clarification dude

Chrysler actually made a half decent interior? What, did hell freeze over?

@pjtart Sadly yes

@MrWizardSleeve ha,ha,ha! Well, you know how motorweek is! What I wanna know is what ever happend to Car & Driver TV? I remember when it used to come on Spike TV, and then Speed Channel. But yeah, the Land Rover Range Rover was the first to be considered a luxury suv.

@datkoolbrutha nissan rouge for small fuel saver and for luxury suv vw touareg diesel never a jeep too much gas

@SilverRaptorXL definitely, he has to be at an internet cafe to make a response comment after a few weeks or so, when you basically put his comment to shame,ha,ha! They never learn to just take the loss, except the fact that they can't come back with anything better to say, and move on! They just wanna keep it going because they think their comment will have an effect.

I think he means 4th generation!!

very nice, yes a big step up but i feel like the guy is "subconsciously" comparing this to a Toyota Yaris 1.2litre like he is expecting it to be fuel efficient, shit this is a jeep it was always big in the tank and that's the way I like it.

I'll be trading in my 2005 Limited 4x4 V8 Toyota 4Runner for one of these (Overland 4x4 V8)! The 4Runner has been a major pain in the @#$ almost since day one and I'll be VERY HAPPY to get rid of it!!!

Not even yourself can believe those lies about your brakes and tires, i'm a previous RAV4 owner, it's a very good car, but this Jeep which is my new truck now, blows the RAV4 out of the water in more than one sense.

@sths0609 lol yea i had to count that in my head lol i was like "i have a 86 GC...isnt that the first gen" then i the rounded ZJ popped into my mine and that was the second gen, then this one at the begining was the 3rd lol...i was so confused

@g20s10silveradoman I never said they weren't good off road, i said they were overpriced ugly junk with a ton of reliability issues. And your assuming the WK2 will have issues just because Land Rovers did. Aside from air lift suspension which is an option anyways, your assumption is asinine.

how much?

Gettin a limmited 4x2 in a week or so. We decided to get this car, instead of the Honda piolet.

It's funny reading comments from trolls and haters of the Grand Cherokee. Some call this a piece of shit,some call this a gas guzzler. Well, it would be a piece of shit, if you don't take care of it. How about regular oil changes, regular maintainence, upgrade parts? Maybe if simple things like that are done, people wouldn't be driving " a piece of shit " And for those that are looking for fuel economy, people who by the Grand Cherokee, could care less, and money is no issue. Geez use ya brains!

0:31 secs, 3rd generation!!?? WK that he is standing next to is the 3rd Gen.... The featured WK2 is the 4th Generation.

KZfaq find: Jeep Promo San Diego Indie Pop 4 man band uses 4 Jeeps.See their "quasi" commercial for Jeeps on KZfaq. Watch at Pullman Standard Jeep commercial.

@pimpninja1985 thats because it was designed by a german. they hired a europeam to make it look good. :)

This is the 4th gen grand Cherokee not the 3rd

Why does he say: "only this time, it had a little help from one of its imitators"?? I know he refers to Mercedes-Benz but why does he refer to them as imitators?

It's 290 HORSE POWER..

The GC is no longer an off road purpose built SUV :(

@pjtart I think Jeep would do a lot better without Chrysler

@Timleo333 You really to get your facts straight before you attempt to troll. A crossover is "cross" between a normal car and a SUV. They borrow some characteristics from Suv's but still keep the frame of a normal car, therefore making them only for light off-road use. I can't believe you thought a crossover meant a car that would " cross over" obstacles. Oh well...you're probably just some little kid.....

you mean mommy and daddy got you a new suburban.

yum

Jeeps pawn all. Bet all with negative comments drive a civic.

@SilverRaptorXL Ummmm...H2? no

love what they did to the truck but people are never going to go off roading with a 40,000 plus truck...soo all the air lift and do dads are kinda point less unless u wait like 10years when u can buy the truck from a used car dealer for like 5,000 and beat the shit out of it

I like the 2011-2018 Jeeps better then 2005-2010 Jeeps

not really. Jeep has always been a more valued brand by those who enjoy the outdoors, and with the exploding crossover market you aren't going to see as many off-road SUV's in suburbia like the early part of this century.

Its a srt 8 model avabile

@RJBbass2000 LR 4 like the Range Rover and Jaguars, are owned and built in India by TATA..... TATA's own 4x4 "Safari" was a total joke!

@datkoolbrutha lol im just a die hard American car guy

@datkoolbrutha Check out my 2nd vid to see a real car

finally a good car from jeep thank you fiat and mercedez

wtf ... its 290 horsepower...not 280

Nice car , hope to get in with a diesel engine in Europe !

Too bad Chrysler forgot to put in a battery light or voltage gauge - if your battery dies you'll never know - I guess the reviewer up top missed that little fact when he tested the car and all it's features. - see the full story at carquestions channel

Its on the do not buy list of used cars from consumer reports.

@JimJ989 I hear you. And i2slick4u20 is a fuckin' joke,ha,ha!

woah, chrysler can build good things? good fit and finish is something they haven't said about them in years. '

@MakeLoveNoBabiez If he would STOP SHOUTING so much, get back to how he was back in the 80's and mid 90's and get rid of the cheezy graphics than it wouldn't be so bad. I do like that at least he's pointing out some flaws in the cars instead of kissing the automakers ass and saying a car is great when everybody knows it's shit like Motorweek used to.

@tinleo333 dude, and rx450? Truthfully I only see women driving those,lol! If you worry about fuel that much, get a suzuki vitara or something.

@Eagle99001 obviosly, it sounds like you ran the last 4 jeeps you had into the ground. And there isn't anything defective about the new Jeep here. Unless you've taken a test drive, you can't really say anything bad about it. But when you talk of Toyota, they have nothing but endless recalls. At least with the Jeep here, an owner doesn't have to question whether his/her accelerator will get stuck, or some other problem. So don't even talk about something that's defective! No car is perfect!!!
