Coming back again this year for a win in its category, the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee took top bragging rights for the SUV of Texas award.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is no stranger to this honor, having won it now for five consecutive years. Fueling its continuous king of the hill status are distinctions of this class like its optional 3.0 liter EcoDiesel engine.
That engine in fact is the big news still over a year after it became available. It’s magic combination of smooth torque and fuel economy that is far and beyond most gasoline engines in its class continues to get the eye of the journalists.
The EcoDiesel purrs along like a good friend particularly out here in the back woods where its 420 lb.-ft of torque just drags it through just about anything you can throw at it.
The Grand Cherokee also offers in its competitive set a level of luxury options and trim grades, myriad ways to go with off-road capabilities, and three other power-trains to choose aside that EcoDiesel.
Available features like an adjustable air suspension, leather lined interior trims, and just the ability to have the Grand Cherokee in any flavor you want from back-roads trail friend to ultimate luxury liner are that which seems to keep it on top.
Having just been freshened up for the 2014 model year, the 2015 Grand Cherokee still managed to pull out a win this year even though it wasn’t the newest shiny thing.
