Review of 'Jeep Grand Cherokee (1995 - 1999)'According to the folks at Jeep, Land Rover has had its own way too long. Nor is this mere Yankee bluster. Their Cherokee has been one of the most serious thorns in Solihull's flesh since it arrived here in 1995 - but that was just for starters.
Its bigger brother, the Grand Cherokee, was always the car that Land Rover really feared - with good reason, it now appears. Launched in the UK in 1996, it was the first credible prestige alternative to the all-conquering Range Rover - at a price which made the British car look very expensive.
On the used market, the story's the same. If you can't afford a new-shape Range Rover and want something with all the luxury and driveway cachet, then look at Jeep first.
