Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 (06-10) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 08 December 2006 Last Updated: 12 February 2009 Jeep's high performance version of the Grand Cherokee, badged SRT-8, is produced in very limited numbers, making it a rare 4x4. With a hugely powerful V8 engine along with heavily modified suspension and steering, it's thunderously quick with 0-62mph coming up in just five seconds. However, it loses all of the regular Grand Cherokee's impressive off-road capability. That may make it seem rather pointless to most potential buyers, but the fact that it can out accelerate a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S - for half the price - ought to tempt some. But considering the sky-high running costs, it seems a pointless extravagance. 3.5 out of 5 Other Jeep reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Porsche Cayenne (03-09) Porsche performance and quality, diesel engine available, car-like handling Ungainly styling on pre-facelifted cars, firm ride, expensive running costs Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (05 on) Chunky styling, wonderfully comfortable, great diesel engines, handles well for a 4x4, capable off-road, much-improved interiors from Summer 2009 High running costs, automatic gearbox can be a little sluggish to change down Read full review 4 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz M-Class (05-11) Stylish looks, outstanding diesel engines, superb interior quality, commanding driving position No seven seat option Read full review Find other 4x4 cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
