However, they had serious issues in terms of emissions and currently 5 states in US don’t permit you to sell the 2007 grand cherokee since it doesn’t satisfy the specified emission standards in those states.
Performance
The 2007 Grand Cherokee was rather targeted towards the customers who’re expecting excellent towing capacity, and also moderate fuel economy. In comparison to the earlier models, there was a modest increase in the fuel economy of the vehicle and it could deliver 17mpg on city streets and more than 20mpg on highway roads.
The diesel engine turned out to be better in several aspects. Apart from providing high towing capacity, the diesel engine had more power and the interiors of the 2007 grand cherokee were quite amazing too.
There wasn’t too much increase in cost, even with the introduction of diesel engine and pricing-wise the vehicle remained to be a killer deal, literally unparalleled in its segment. It had elegant looks and great overall performance.
