The word itself appears in the dictionary as“ Noun” and“ Trademark” and is defined as“ a small, sturdy motor vehicle with four-wheel drive, especially one used by the military”. Jeeps are part of our culture and language, and when you come face to face with the latest 2016 counterpart, the Grand Cherokee Overland, you have no doubt why.
The Cherokee is a‘ go large’ sort of car. It is enormous. Given its American heritage, you can see straight away that everything is done properly, and it exudes quality; in fact you can sense the pride emanating from its fearsome radiator grilles.
But far from being showy and grandiose, the Jeep looks elegant, stylish and powerful from the outset, qualities that are echoed throughout its entire design, and that are underlined by the car ' s performance when driven. Sitting on beautiful 20-inch alloy wheels, it boasts a beautifully sculpted, rugged body, which manages to look incredibly sporty and very aesthetically pleasing. Unlike many of its peers, the Jeep doesn ' t seem to have any bad sides – it looks fantastic from all angles. I particular liked the look and feel of the bi-xenon headlamps, which manage to be big enough to do the job, but don ' t overwhelm the front of the car by being too large.
Inside the Jeep( using your keyless“ enter N go” of course), you immediately fall in love with the gigantic armchair-like seats, which are so comfy you just want to get in and have a little rest, even when you have nowhere to drive to. The dashboard boasts an 8.4-inch Uconnect TFT display, and this provides you with a wealth of information and entertainment. The leathertrimmed dashboard looks sumptuous, and backed up by other features such as electric seats, parking / reversing cameras and panoramic sunroof, you are left with no doubt that you are surrounded by nothing but the very best of luxury. And, there’ s a lot of boot space. I mean, a lot.
