Road Test - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited - Motor Trend
The bulk of previous Grand Cherokee complaints centered around excessive body roll during cornering maneuvers. Jeep engineers addressed this problem with a new three-link rear suspension that not only helps control body lean and enhance tire contact area, but also reduces the unsprung weight of the underpinnings. High-tech "hydro-formed" tubular front and rear control arms are worth a look for those interested in the state-of-the-art suspension engineering. While street traction is excellent, the need for more aggressive rubber will only be missed by those who frequent the really tough off road environment. For those challenged only by snow and ice, the 4x4 system is well designed, working in tandem with the ride-biased Goodyear radials to safely grip the tarmac. Overall performance from the fastest of the SUV set is only one piece of the pie when assessing the talents of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Many sport-utility buyers like to plant their right feet deep into the accelerator and feel instantaneous movement. Do this in Jeep's redesigned '99 Grand Cherokee Limited and it takes off a bit slower than last year's model.
JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Review – Yahoo Cars UK
The late-shape Jeep Grand Cherokee has had some adjusting to do. Whereas the old model traded blows with the Range Rover as the plushest 4x4 you could buy, the current car has seen the Lexus RX300, the BMW X5, the Mercedes M-Class, the Volvo XC90 and latterly the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg all eclipse its position, ensuring that competition is hotter than ever before. This market focus on new metal has helped used buyers because, to a certain extent, many customers have taken their eye off what made the Grand Cherokee such a hit in the first place and some notable used bargains are out there to be had. Jump inside the second generation Grand Cherokee and youll find more luxury, thanks to greater headroom in the wider cabin. Legroom is also increased, though taller drivers may still complain of a lack of rearward seat travel. Remember too that, unlike many of its rivals, the Jeep doesn't have the option of a third row of seats. Unlike the Discovery, it's not primarily aimed at the family market which may explain the relative lack of oddment holders and storage cubbies around the cabin. TDs sprint to sixty, the Grand Cherokee CRD manages the benchmark in 11 seconds and can comfortably cruise at over 110mph where conditions permit. The five-speed automatic transmission will be familiar to those who own an E or M-Class Mercedes, so no complaints on that score then.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
The Grand Cherokee is suspended with the most rugged equipment of any sport ute. It has live, solid axles front and rear. This system usually means a choppy, unforgiving ride. But not in the Grand Cherokee. The steering is positive and accurate. On-center feel is just right and the Grand Cherokee goes where you point it. Dive it into corners and use throttle near the apex and a smile will become affixed to your face. The center console has two levers, one for the electronic four-speed automatic transmission and the other for the four-wheel drive. The Grand Cherokee uses a new QuadraTrac II (standard) system which is full time all the time and can transfer up to 100 percent of the power to the wheel with the most traction. About the only way you could get stuck in this SUV is if you were upside down.
