With the introduction of the first Grand Cherokee, Jeep defined and developed the luxury sport utility car (SUV) market, but in spite of this grand tradition the model is at present experiencing some difficulties. Jeep not only defined what an SUV was, it was the SUV market place in the USA with the inception of the Cherokee and later on Grand Cherokee. This is no longer the situation. The growing list of strong competitors has intensified, and along with high fuel costs, this has lead to some serious challenges to Chrysler in spite of Jeeps combination of legendary 4x4 capabilities, on and off-road refinements, and technological innovations.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee was 1 of the pioneering SUVs that ushered in the contemporary SUV marketplace in the early 1990s. When it debuted, the Grand Cherokee represented a larger and much more refined version of Jeep's smaller but popular Cherokee. The company's designers wanted the Grand Cherokee it to be maneuverable adequate for city driving, roomy adequate for the complete loved ones, stylish enough to take out on the town and rugged adequate to reach individuals remote camping locations. The Grand Cherokee undoubtedly met all of these specifications and, we really feel that Jeep continues with this tradition in its existing Grand Cherokee version.

The 2005/2006 version of the Grand Cherokee, which is the models 3rd generation, is 1 of the greatest SUVs made, and as one particular critic put it arguably the most desirable. With some of the outstanding available characteristics of complete-time four-wheel drive, independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering, a 5-speed transmission, and an obtainable five.7-Liter HEMI V-eight with MDS, which deactivates up to 8 cylinders when not needed for greater gas mileage overall performance, the Grand Cherokee is featured packed. Security attributes consist of Electronic Stability Plan, SmartBeam headlamps that automatically and swiftly adjust high-beam brightness and intensity, All-Speed Traction Handle System, and advanced multi-stage air bags with an Occupant Classification Technique. The appear and really feel of the physique was also updated to give it an edgy angular appear, which looks new and modern even though retaining that Grand Cherokee style with the popular 7-slot Jeep grille. Chrysler also gave the Grand Cherokee an updated suspension technique that delivers far better corning turning performance and a tighter turning radius.

In spite of these best-of-the-line features, Grand Cherokee sales in the USA for 2006 (ending December 31, 2006) had been 139,148 units, which were down from 213,584 in 2005. This represents a decline of 35%. Jeeps smaller SUV, the Liberty, also saw its numbers drop dramatically in 2006 with unit sales of 133,557 versus unit sales of 166,883 for 2005, a 20% decline. Whilst it doesnt necessarily make Chrysler really feel any better, they had been not alone in decreased sales in the SUV segment. Other USA vehicle manufacturers also skilled declines. Ford seasoned a 25% drop in its SUV sales for the USA, whilst GMs truck sales were down 9.6% (two,499,269 for 2006 versus two,765,809) (detailed overall performance reports for GMs SUVs was not available). The decline in SUV sales, specifically mid-range models, was impacted by the dramatic price increases in gasoline for the duration of 2006. This along with luxury SUV models by BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, and Porshe, and mid-priced SUVs by Mitsubishi, Toyota and other people experiencing a surge in recognition is creating a sizable challenge to Chrysler. With its excellent features, Jeep tradition, and the Daimler-Chrysler technologies behind it, we appear for the Grand Cherokee to make a powerful return in the future. ---------------------------
