The New Grand Cherokee is the most awarded SUV in history! Wards Auto rated the Jeep as top interior* (Overland model*), it has soft touch interior, seamless dash, and double stitch seating. I have sold over 2 dozen New Grand Cherokees over last year and my clients have raved about the interior appointments and comfort.
Motor Trend test drove the Jeep in the Oceano CA sand dunes, down the street from where I live. We see other SUVs get stuck in the dunes all the time. It handled the dunes well, and was very comfortable both on and off road.
