Jeep Grand Cherokee wins Drive Car of the Year Award

November 2011

The best 4wd of the year 2011 has been presented to the Jeep Grand Cherokee - making this the first win ever for a Jeep car in the Drive Car of the Year awards.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo CRD received the award over defending champion Land Rover Discovery – a sure sign of the quality, refinement, capability and value found in Jeep's flagship car.

“The big American charmed Drive's Car of the Year judges with its punchy diesel engine, thoughtful cabin and genuine off-road ability,” Drive’s Barry Park said. He added that judges were very impressed by both the value and level of on-road refinement in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
