The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the updated version of what was once the hottest family vehicle in suburban USA; overall, it’s a much better vehicle than the Grand Cherokee that rose to popularity in the ’90s, yet it manages to keep its classic styling. The Grand Cherokee last saw a redesign in 2005, when its ride and handling were quite dramatically improved; overall, the 2009 Jeep Cherokee’s lightweight unibody and trail-rated suspension deliver performance and refinement that compare favorably within the class of five-passenger SUVs.
