I just bought a 2016 SRT Night Edition (black on black) I'm really liking this SUV. Saved $8800! I love the styling, interior amenities and tech features. UConnect 8.4 is very easy to use. Everything is right within reach. I think it is a great alternative to the ML63, X5 M and Porsche Cayenne S/GTS. I feel like the SRT team nailed it in terms of handling and performance. If there is one downside it's the steering. It could stand to be a little more communicative. It's too light when on-center. If you're in the market for a high performance SUV that's practical for daily use I strongly recommend you cross shop this SUV. You will be pleasantly surprised by the performance, features and price.
I'm 19 years old and weigh 400 pounds, I wish the steering wheel was a little more petite. On the flip side the horse power of this beast matches my blood pressure.
+Michael Trent Internet is a tough place. What seems truly telling is how people somehow discredit somebody's opinion just because he or she is overweight. Sad but true.
Michael Trent the world we live in. There's absolutely no respect on the Internet. But like Louis CK said, it's like road rage, you can scream all you want through a window or a screen, but when they're right next to you in the elevator....... Ppl are pussies. I never hear people in the streets talk this reckless. Because people know that if they talk reckless, they will have to spit their teeth out, go home to their girlfriend or wives and tongue kiss them with no teeth. Fukers
To everyone stating that you wouldn't buy this... Or you'd buy a RR... I own a 2014 Cherokee SRT. I've been in RR's. For the money you spend on the SRT you can not get a new SUV that even compares. It's a stellar product for a very specific clientele. If you fit the bill for a prospective buyer then you'll most likely fall in love with this truck.
My first car was a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I went through 3 transmissions with that thing lol. Definitely wasn't the most reliable car ever but I haven't lost my faith in Jeep. These new GC's look sexy! Hopefully they're more reliable now too.
Your problem with the shifter results from the fact that you're holding it wrong. It's supposed to be holded like the throttle of a boat, meaning that all the fingers belong on top.
Everytime I see the SRT model I stare, then pick my jaw up off the floor. They look great, sound great, and perform great. Definitely a decent buy for motorheads.
I love when ppl say "72,000 for a Chrysler?" We'll yea? It's a very nice car! Just cuz it's a Chrysler doesn't mean it isn't up to par with other luxury vehicles.. Ppl have to stop using thier Bias to come up with thier rediculas statements
fred wilson whatever the reason is people bought this vehicle for, is there a Pinyan, their taste, their liking come other flavor. And they didn't go with the other vehicle, so they're just stating their opinion. Obviously they could afford the vehicles that they critiqued, but put their money where their mouth is
A little chunky steering wheel but I would prefer a slimmer driver! Lol. I think you may have hindered the performance numbers and the mpg with the "extra weight". So the curb weight was 5600 lbs with driver for these tests? Just checking.
Does it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside to be so unnecessarily rude towards this guy? Grow the fuck up. It was an excellent review, good job bro.
You don't really compare gc srt to x5m. They don't share the same pricetag. x5m is better in many ways but gc srt manages to be the best_bang_for_the_buck sort of suv in this segment.
Great looking Cherokee. Too bad they don't offer this appearance package on the V6. It would be awesome to have the mean look AND the better gas mileage. If we could time travel this baby back to 1965 and pay $.10 a gallon we'd be set.
thank you Stephen, amazing review! but i've got a question. what do you feel about the riding in terms of comfort. i've heard that it's a bit stiff even in Auto mode. did you notice that? or what do you think?
I know I'm 10 years late, but the 0-60 of this car is not 4.8 seconds it's actually 4.4 seconds! I don't get how he misquoted his numbers that much lol.
I dont know to get this one, Golf R, cayman s, or Mustang GT, they are all around the same cost except this jeep, the Golf R has the same speed as this jeep, it is german but smaller, the cayman is sexy as hell, the mustang GT is cheaper in terms of build quality but good looking.
For the price its great, but performance wise its at the back of the field compared to its rivals. 6.4 liters only gets 470hp? BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche are all pushing close to 600hp with smaller engines
is this a review or a commercial! there are so many recalls and problems in transmission and other parts that will make anyone buying this car feel cheated to say the least.
detroitjeeper So I am a looser because I have an opinion? Maybe you are one because you paid 75 grand for a SUV that weights 6000 pounds that runs mid to high 13s in the quarter
pffft there a 3500$ option also there beautiful seats his is white and with that color those seats pop. and hes not a homosexual he is married to a women and has 3 kids. you "dumb Fuck'' fuckin dirty sanchez
Why is Chrysler so afraid of the number 500? How is a 470hp truck supposed to impress anyone in a segment full of 500+ bhp monsters? Btw, it's your chunky hands trying to wrap themselves around the chunky steering wheel that may be your problem. Perhaps a more svelte test driver would have given the GC SRT a better review. No?
Fiat/Chrysler should abandon these abominable, stocky electronic shifters on future models & return to a more conventional automatic shift lever or implement the newer rotary dial found on the 2014 Durango.

8years later ill still take this over a trackhawk its the perfect spot of awesome
Love how he said that, we're not hallin' lumber, we're hallin ass

Savagery.
Legend
How are you doing at 29 years old then?
First time watching one of your reviews, Stephen. Very informative and entertaining. Great job!
Typical internet; come here to hear about a car, lose your shit commenting about someone being overweight. Good job on the review.
+Michael Trent Internet is a tough place. What seems truly telling is how people somehow discredit somebody's opinion just because he or she is overweight. Sad but true.

🧢
What's an RR?
Really big V8, wauw. Beautifull interior and the exterior looks agressive. Nice nice car!
I never see this channel before but let me tell you this guy gives all the info need it without have to watch 32 min long videos 👍
My first car was a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I went through 3 transmissions with that thing lol. Definitely wasn't the most reliable car ever but I haven't lost my faith in Jeep. These new GC's look sexy! Hopefully they're more reliable now too.

I feel as though they blow away the range rovers... They are faster, louder, great styling, and amazing suspension
And too expensive
Man, what an interior! I don't even like suv's and I want one.
When I first saw this video, I thought the internet trolls would be out to comment. Seems I was right. Great video man; keep it going.
Today, we're haulin' aaass. Love it man.
I love your video. Point blank period. Your informative, cute and have a great voice!
Great suv. I would pick this over the RR simply because it's much rarer where I live and that exhaust note when you floor it. But the price is hefty

this intro has been the best i have ever seen on youtube
This is a great video compared to other reviews. Thanks
Got to see one in action and also sit in one today at the London Motor Show. What a machine. Great video. Thanks.
Love the review, So much enthusiasm!
Chrysler has come a long way. Nice SUV.
Great review guys. That car is sharp looking too.
The SRT Grand Cherokee can go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. i don't know where the hell they got 4.8 from
You can tell the difference of .5 a second? You must be pleasant to talk too.
At8000RPM .5 of a second is actually a lot when it comes to 0-60 times
Brett Morrison Sure, if you're a robot. Point is is that it still is freaking quick.
@Lucas Minehan where you from Luc ?
Seems like a great vehicle but I cant get over the price. This will definitely be a very niche vehicle.
im love it this truck is beautiful... is the best!!!
Lool nice review haulin' ass got you a like 😂
Not a fan of the panoramic sunroofs still a great review and he's right when it comes to Chrysler's interiors.
Nice SUV and very fast 0-60 miles in only 4.8 seconds.Jeep are the best strongest SUV.
Great review!!!
Nice Review man, keep it up.
i love this guy
Good test author! Enjoyed Thanks.
WK-1 body style (05'-10') srt-8 will always b the most aggressive grand cherokee 2 me, the newer models have went more girly 2 me...
Your face is girly lmao
awesome review
Had a v6 2014 JGC, avg fuel economy was 16mpg. On regular gas, so that kind of helped keep me out of the poorhouse.
Awesome review!
Beauty and a beast!
The only non-wrangler jeep I would ever want.
Good job with the review !
Great review.Very professional.
I’m happy with mine it was gently used....... yeah right 😂
Great review
A little chunky steering wheel but I would prefer a slimmer driver! Lol. I think you may have hindered the performance numbers and the mpg with the "extra weight". So the curb weight was 5600 lbs with driver for these tests? Just checking.
Does it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside to be so unnecessarily rude towards this guy? Grow the fuck up.
It was an excellent review, good job bro.
I bet you hated to give that one back! ;)
Very good review.
You don't really compare gc srt to x5m. They don't share the same pricetag. x5m is better in many ways but gc srt manages to be the best_bang_for_the_buck sort of suv in this segment.

when is the 8 speed coming to the regular Hemi (on the Charger and the 300 specifically)?
Great Looking Jeep!
thank you Stephen, amazing review!
but i've got a question. what do you feel about the riding in terms of comfort. i've heard that it's a bit stiff even in Auto mode. did you notice that? or what do you think?
I didn't find the ride to be particularly stiff. It is not exactly cushy, but it never bothered me in everyday driving.
This guy should review bicycles for a while.
This is funny lol
+Gobbersmack Dude....that is some funny shit.
Please put hellcat's engine in this !!
No more srt for jeep and chrysler 300... 2014 will be their last year...
Rudy Garcia that's why they have a jeep srt8 2015 right?! idiot
jeep srt8 is not using the hell cat's engine, and i saw u misspelled idoit, idiot.
yea I typed too fast get over it! The fact is that the jeeps are still coming out with the SRTs....! That was the whole point in my first comment
If they do that it won't even be fair lol
Has anyone confirmed that the 2015 Jeep SRT8 will have a turbo charger? It was rumor a month ago.
Definitely will not. Any major change will come on the WK3 platform which will probably release the SRT model in 2018
I heard the 6.4 will get a supercharger, probably not for a while though..
Rick James I think they are going to use the Hell Cat Hemi engines that is going in the new Challengers. You can check them out on You Tube.
Dave Conrad that sounds pretty good. I wish jeep would bring out a cut price SRT core as well..
Rick James Wrong...Challenger and Charger are getting an optional 6.2 supercharged V8 "hellcat"
Ever heard of BMW or audi mmi? CNET says "audi is still the best in the business when it comes to the in car screens."
CNET also said UCONNECT is one of the best
They say that iDrive is the best Wheel based system, and Uconnect is the best touch based system, apart from Tesla's ridiculous TV
haha I forgot about the Tesla, that one is in another league from most touch screens in cars
Thanks foe the video 👍😎
they should drop the hell cat motor in the new grand cherokee srt
I know I'm 10 years late, but the 0-60 of this car is not 4.8 seconds it's actually 4.4 seconds! I don't get how he misquoted his numbers that much lol.
I love mine best SUV I ever had
I haven't seen any Audi SUV review or videos can y'all do one? oh yea nice looking car wish I had the money to buy it lol
I cant believe this guy thinks anything is "chunky"...
40k+ now
It's a dinosaur, but a part of me likes the idea that this sort of silliness still goes on.
Chrysler needs to step it up to compete with the international competition.
Affordable americana. Can't go wrong. Send me one with the same spec as the one tested.
Looks very cool and the cabin doesn't look bad either. But I would like to see a european review.
...what's >13 MPG< in makesense numbers?
Roughly 18-liters/100km.
Wow! that's bad! I'm not a green freak or anything but that might be too much babyseal killin' for my taste...
Cant belive they didnt show the back seats or trunk
I dont know to get this one, Golf R, cayman s, or Mustang GT, they are all around the same cost except this jeep, the Golf R has the same speed as this jeep, it is german but smaller, the cayman is sexy as hell, the mustang GT is cheaper in terms of build quality but good looking.
For the price its great, but performance wise its at the back of the field compared to its rivals. 6.4 liters only gets 470hp? BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche are all pushing close to 600hp with smaller engines
LOL, the infotainment system in a 2007 Lexus ES350 has the same fast response, and the Jeep is a benchmark? LOL
I haven't even read the comments...But for all those that down this beast....GO and buy one then talk shit...
is this a review or a commercial! there are so many recalls and problems in transmission and other parts that will make anyone buying this car feel cheated to say the least.
Id rather have a CTSV Wagon!
because you'd rather be a loser.
detroitjeeper So I am a looser because I have an opinion? Maybe you are one because you paid 75 grand for a SUV that weights 6000 pounds that runs mid to high 13s in the quarter
youngblood23rb High 12s to low 13s actually
liquid metal on the xm! good
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
my dream car
Is it 4wd?
Ever heard of BMW or audi mmi? CNET says "audi is still the best in the business when it comes to the in car screens."
Thats beautiful
Id still take the ML 63 over this...
ml 63 great rig but way more expensive
mind blowing
This doesn't have every option cuz if it did it would have the beige Laguna leather which is what is in my uncles
pffft there a 3500$ option also there beautiful seats his is white and with that color those seats pop. and hes not a homosexual he is married to a women and has 3 kids. you "dumb Fuck'' fuckin dirty sanchez
***** Take your attitude back to your third world hell hole..
He looks cold...definitely needed a jacket
Andy Milonakis??
Why is Chrysler so afraid of the number 500? How is a 470hp truck supposed to impress anyone in a segment full of 500+ bhp monsters? Btw, it's your chunky hands trying to wrap themselves around the chunky steering wheel that may be your problem. Perhaps a more svelte test driver would have given the GC SRT a better review. No?
hot damn, that is some badass motherfucking SUV.
Fiat/Chrysler should abandon these abominable, stocky electronic shifters on future models & return to a more conventional automatic shift lever or implement the newer rotary dial found on the 2014 Durango.
do a cadilac elr review
Does this guy remind anyone else if the sandwich kid from Bad Santa?
You related to Elmer Fudd?
It's 2019 and I'm buying a srt.
I really like it. So cheap compared to anything European. Nice review mate
Great review!! I thought we were here for the car review not the reviewer so shut up about his weight ...
this 6.4L should have had 510-520 bhp. Something with more HP than the ML63 .
13mpg 72000$ somthing doesnt make sense !
"The wheel is a little chunky for my taste"........lol......
beauty
