SUVs | December 1, 2010


A lot of people prefer going for used vehicle these days because they are relatively inexpensive and give excellent value for money. There are plenty of manufactures in the market offering pre owned automobiles for sale of the earlier models. A lot of people looking for these pre owned cars yearn for versatile vehicles which can take five or more people without any compromise on the comfort level. If you too are looking for such a vehicle then check out the pre owned Jeep Grand Cherokee which is available in 4 and 2 door versions; just like the new one. I am blogging about the past of this product to make sure you know what you are buying. The pre owned Jeep Grand Cherokee that is available today in the market belongs to Jeep Cherokee family and their first generation products were in the market from 1984 to 1996. The automobile weighed about 3,100 pounds and were built on curt wheelbase of 101.4 inches. This is quite subtle as compared to Ford Broncos and Chevy Suburban.

The pre owned Jeep Grand Cherokee that you will be buying will be a lighter automobile but it is good because the engine which powers the Cherokee has 2.5 liter inline four cylinder engine which generates a maximum 105 hp power and there is also the 2.8 liter V6 engine made by Chevrolet which generates only 115 hp. This vehicle is available in turbo diesel engine model too but I won’t recommend going for that as it isn’t really good. Engines were mated with three speed automatic transmission and four and five speed manual transmissions.

The pre owned Jeep Grand Cherokee trim level has a base trim and Chief and Pioneer which is well resourced. The Cherokee standard drive terrains includes two and four wheel drive variants and the 4 wheel drive terrain exists only in either the full time Selec-Tac or the part time Command-Trac configuration.


Jeep grand Cherokee’s best model was 1987 which had great power. On the other hand, the pre owned Jeep Grand Cherokee has a fresh new four liter inline six cylinder engine which can generate a maximum 177 hp power and the inline four cylinder engine was boosted to a maximum 121 hp power. For the six cylinder variants, the outdated three speed unit was replaced by a 4 speed automatic transmission technology.
