Specs: 360 horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8

Redesigned for 2011, the Jeep Grand Cherokee ($38,300) now has many luxury options and a redesigned rear seat that provides increased legroom as well as cargo space. The standard engine is a 290-horsepower, 3.6-liter, V-6 engine, while the 360-horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 is optional. It is available in rear- or four-wheel-drive.

The Grand Cherokee features air suspension that provides nearly 11 inches of ground clearance and allows the driver to select suspension and drivetrain settings to suit the road and his or her comfort tastes.

There is a choice of three- and four-wheel-drive systems. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, mirrors and locks, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, side-curtain air bags, antilock brakes, and electronic stability and traction control.
