2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Hemi
It looks like the 2004 model with a few more angles, but power is up, electronic front and rear differentials lock or unlock instantly, and a new independent front suspension feels equally at home off road and on. The interior is a bit more luxurious looking, the ride rather different. Overall, the 2005 Grand Cherokee has better on-road cornering and jiggly-road-handling than past models, yet is more capable on the trail.

Building rugged vehicles is what Jeep does best, and since its introduction in 1993, the Grand Cherokee has always been the best off-roader in the midsize SUV class. Trouble is, most SUV purchases aren't motivated by a desire for hard-core off-road capability. For years this difference in priorities was of no consequence. The second-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee was stylish, powerful and even plush when it arrived on the market for 1999. It was also immensely popular - 271,000 were sold in 2000. But sales slid when roomier, better-handling SUVs like the car-based Toyota Highlander and the current Ford Explorer arrived on the market. Today it doesn't matter whether you were built to conquer the Rubicon or the expressway: Consumers expect their SUVs to behave themselves on pavement while providing fully functional family transportation. The old Jeep Grand Cherokee did neither very well. The four-wheel-drive systems have grown in sophistication - all are now electronically controlled, full-time systems that are compatible with stability control (optional on all models). For budget-minded buyers who merely need a snow vehicle in the winter, Jeep is offering a single-speed system that continuously engages all four wheels without requiring the driver to push any buttons or pull any levers (it's standard on V6 models). For those who know they'll be doing at least some off-roading in their Jeep Grand Cherokee, there's the Quadra-Trac II system, which provides both high- and low-range gearing. And for those with more serious off-road intentions, there's Quadra-Drive II, which adds electronically controlled limited-slip differentials in both the front and rear.

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Road Test
Redesigning the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a step taken with the utmost care. Not only does it have a completely new look, but it also has three engines and three four-wheel-drive systems. Even though it is slightly larger, it does not have a third-seat option. The restyled Grand Cherokee is slightly more angular and less rounded than the current model. The trademark seven-slot grille is larger, and the dual headlights have subtle character lines that taper back through the hood. The windshield has a steeper slope, the hood is proportionally longer and the sides of the body have been designed to protect the vehicle from debris picked up by the tires. Inside, the new Grand Cherokee feels more luxurious and comfortable than before. It has a two-tone instrument panel, new door trim and new finishes. Headroom is greater, and the seats have longer tracks for more travel.
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Automobile Magazine
Back in the 1990s, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was in the right place at the right time. Compact, tough, and stylish, it put the sport in sport-utility and became as fashionable in New York as it was in Aspen. That's why it's no surprise that the all-new 2005 Grand Cherokee begins with carlike hardware such as rack-and-pinion steering, an independent front suspension with unequal-length control arms, and a five-link, live-axle rear suspension. The Jeep designers also have given the Grand Cherokee a carlike appearance. The interior of the upscale Limited model is trimmed with chrome, wood, and two-tone leather. There are plenty of grab handles, cubbyholes, and tie-down hooks, plus the latest luxury electronics, such as a Bluetooth-compatible telephone hookup and a DVD player.
