Small but useful storage areas are found around the interior. The back window can be opened separately from the liftgate for fast stowage of small items. The new Grand Cherokee's suspension is designed for serious off-road ability and highway control and comfort. That's a difficult engineering feat, but Jeep has succeeded. Both front and rear suspensions are solid axles with coil springs for ruggedness.
Solid axles can be rough-riding at speed on pavement, with noticeable bump steer.
The Grand Cherokee is comfortable enough for a long vacation journey - just keep going when the road ends. It has the low-rpm torque that is necessary for pulling through a swamp or accelerating away from traffic hazards. Standard 4-wheel disc brakes stop the Grand Cherokee quickly and surely.
