Description:
The '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD with the 5.9-liter V8 engine may look like a traditional SUV, but it sounds like a hot rod. The 245 horsepower engine delivers 345 pound-feet of torque, sports car acceleration, broad smiles from the driver, and stares of amazement from other motorists. The lumpy exhaust rumble is reminiscent of the mighty sixties Chrysler muscle cars, and the 5.9 Limited is the quickest, most powerful Jeep product ever. This Grand Cherokee really shines on the highway, but it's still a rugged performer off-road with its full-time Quadra-Trac four-wheel-drive.
The strong performance is complemented by a very luxurious, all-leather interior (not just leather seating surfaces). The front seats are heated, there's a power sunroof, a premium sound system with the best steering wheel controls in the world, and all the expected power options. With black pearl paint, dark tinted windows, and stylish 16-inch aluminum wheels, the Grand Cherokee looks very contemporary even though it has been around for several years. All this luxury and performance doesn't come cheap--the price on the test car was just short of forty thousand dollars.
The '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited isn't the newest, or most technically advanced SUV on the market, and they're certainly not giving them away, but it really got to us on an emotional level. It's a super comfortable, super-charged all-weather, go-anywhere car with a very high smiles-per-mile rating. |
