OVERKILL
$100 Site Donor 2021
Dropped the SRT off at the dealership this afternoon. It goes in tomorrow for the headlight washer nozzle replacement, so I decided to drop it off early and was able to snag the owner's Grand Cherokee 4xe Summit. I'll update this with some more impressions later, as I've only driven it a few km so far.
He has the same snow tires as I do (Michelin Xice Snow SUV) so that was a pleasant surprise.
So far:
- Seats are a firmer than the Laguna ones in the SRT, but with less bolstering.
- Ride is more compliant
- The 4-cylinder is, when cold, a bit unrefined, but quiets down after it has run, and is then smooth
- The HUD is a nice feature that I really enjoy on the newer vehicles
- Physical buttons added back for the seat and wheel heat are appreciated, as is the larger screen
Have not had a chance to compare the McIntosh sound system to the HK in the SRT yet, will do that on the way home.
The interior is not a bad place to be. The ride is firm, but not jarring, handling seems good. Less sporty than the SRT, but that's to be expected.
Will post up some interior pics when I get a chance.
