Overland Summit reaches new peaks
With the new Overland Summit version of the Grand Cherokee, Jeep® is making a direct assault on the luxury SUV market, the Hartford Courant said. In the past, SUV buyers have had to give up daily driving comfort for off-road capability, but "those days appear to be over, at least for Jeep Grand Cherokee buyers," the paper said.
Two improvements really stand out: the quiet, efficient 3.6-liter V-6 and the smoother and better-mannered powertrain, the Fenceviewer.com website said.The changes that you will feel and see the most are the dramatic improvements to the cabin, the website said.
Nothing else in the segment combines the Jeep's litany of polished features and performance components - "the new Grand Cherokee is impressive," Fenceviewer.com said.After more than 22,000 miles of test driving, the editors of AutoWeek have confessed to "our love of the Jeep." The interior of the Overland Summit is highly attractive, extremely comfortable and suitably luxurious, the Hartford Courant said, allowing "this Jeep to be competitive with more costly imports."
