JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO New Car Review: (1999)
BOB - he body of this new Grand Cherokee looks a lot like the last version, but with the angular corners rounded off. It has a relatively short wheelbase at 105 inches, which makes it very maneuverable in mid-town traffic. The new body is four inches longer, however, and the track has been increased by an inch. These additional inches increase the interior dimensions a bit and there is now 73 cubic feet of cargo space. The extra size also tends to move the Grand Cherokee away from that somewhat lean look of the earlier versions. BOB - The Grand Cherokee V8 also packs a new traction control system. Jeep calls it Quadra-Drive, and it splits the torque between the wheels via a set of electrohydraulic pumps that sense the slippage of one wheel and shifts power to the ones that are still gripping. It's more sensitive and less complex than the older version. And thankfully, the Grand Cherokee is finally equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels and they're twin-pots rather than sliding calipers.

As the popularity of the Grand Cherokee rocketed so did its price tag - see the price chart below! However, buyers did get some extras including rear seat head restraints and side impact intrusion beams in '94. An outdoors-guy special 'Orvis' edition was added in '95.

Why is Grand Cherokee so successful? For starters, everyone knows what it is. The Jeep Grand Cherokee combines luxury with impressive off-road capability. It served as a symbol of success throughout the 1990s. Jeep has expanded the Grand Cherokee line to five for 2004: Laredo ($27,260), Limited ($32,190), and Overland ($37,015) continue. A new Special Edition model has been added along with a new Freedom Edition.

Luxury is carried throughout the Grand Cherokee - the flagship of the brand. New inside, a bright "Jeep" horn cover, color-keyed head restraint shaft bezels and a rear quarter trim panel storage net are now standard. In addition, backlighting is added to the universal garage door opener for easier nighttime visibility. Upper instrument panel moldings are now brushed aluminum for the Laredo model.
1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Full Review
Handling and off-road ability are top Grand Cherokee strengths. Control in directional changes is good, despite a fair amount of body lean. Steering feels natural, though small corrections are needed at highway speeds. No midsize SUV rides more comfortably. The revised suspension handles all but the worst potholes with ease, but permits queasy fore-and-aft and side-to-side pitching motions through uneven pavement. And even the worst terrain elicits no squeaks or rattles from the stiffened body structure.
