In the range of the Grand Cherokee, it’s no surprise Version 3.0 V6 CRD diesel that sells best. On the other hand, the most impressive is the thunderous SRT and bestial look. Jeep has decided to put the two in a shaker and stir. It shows a new finish Limited S: a diesel look meaner. But that level look.
In short, the new finish Limited attempts viriliser S (if necessary) the line of the Grand Cherokee. Without going to radicalize the look as does the SRT, it is received keys to give it a more sporty appearance.
20-inch wheels painted in glossy black, round grille and matching color grid protecting a “platinum chrome” blade shield also lower in platinum chromium optical black, black blade tailgate, tinted rear glass, double output black chrome exhaust, you will understand, a little black dresses. What our photos of a model … black do not really value, which is why we’ve put in the portfolio a picture of a white model so that you can better make your account …
In the interior, the seats are taken from the SRT and offer better support. They are ventilated and heated. The steering wheel is also, heating and perforated leather for that matter, it is sport.
Genuine carbon inserts (once will not hurt it must be said) appeared on the dashboard and doors against. Finally the pedals chrome covers as it is de rigueur in any sports car.
With such a presentation, it came to a small hope of cure for muscular block diesel or running gear revised to more feeling on the road or a less typical comfort for the Grand Cherokee Overland, which is the basis for that S Limited.
There is nothing. The changes are only cosmetic and cosmetics. For the rest, the specifications are identical.
On the road: a Grand Cherokee CRD, no more, no less
We are dealing with a vehicle that has a great driving comfort, and flexibility. The V6 diesel develops 241 hp and 550 Nm of torque at 1800 rpm. Values quite consistent with the category, and not ridiculous to compete, which make just enough performance (202 km / h top speed, 8.8 seconds for the 0 to 100 km / h ). You’ll regret against a 6-speed automatic transmission that eats a little power and is very unresponsive, but very sweet.
The noise level is contained hot; even accelerating, but cold pops characteristics of diesel remember our good memories. Few kilometers, however, they vanish.
The ride is smooth. Of course, the Grand Cherokee is heavy (2347 kg) and it is felt, especially in the sequences of cornering and braking leisurely pace but it is almost perfectly healthy and dynamic when you put the box in sport mode, it which has the effect of lowering the ride height. Management, on the other hand, the filter too rough road to provide a good feeling, but it is accurate.
Equipment: all it takes
S Limited has indeed all the equipment of the Overland. It adds so cosmetic changes, but also a sound Harman Kardon amp to 19 HP and 12 channels of 825 Watts, which gives the (beautiful) voice. He loses against the cargo net.
Without listing everything that is available, just know that you will have everything you need in terms of equipment, comfort and safety. Blind Spot Monitoring, early warning of collision, adaptive cruise control, panoramic sunroof, GPS and multimedia system with 30 Gigabytes of hard disk, power lift gate, rearview camera, everything is set. And of course the Select Terrain system that allows you to configure the transmission 4×4 depending on the terrain encountered, the Quadra-Track 2 (power distribution per axle line and short reports) and Quadra-Lift (air suspension with variable height case by field conditions) are still in the game.
The finish is still not quite at the level of premium German competitors established, but nothing wrong and the presentation is nice anyway.
