The JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (1999-05) 5DR STATION WAGON 4WD 4.7 V8 LIMITED XS AUTO5 is a large, premium-style four-wheel-drive SUV, rather than an everyday hatchback. In the UK used-car market it stands out as an older American alternative to rivals such as the Land Rover Discovery and BMW X5, with a roomy cabin, bold looks and an automatic gearbox. Its 4.7-litre V8 gives it strong, relaxed performance and suits towing, country journeys and carrying a family or outdoor gear, while four-wheel drive offers extra confidence on rough or slippery routes. Running costs and fuel use are likely to be higher than in smaller family SUVs, so it best suits buyers who value space, comfort and character over economy.

Average private-sale value was £1,600, mileage 138,000 and annual use 6,000 miles; vehicles averaged 6.48 previous keepers per vehicle.
