Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

SRT means “performance,” and the Grand Cherokee SRT is no exception. This SUV gets the 470-hp, 6.4-liter Hemi, an eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive. The result is one large, heavy, thirsty, fast, fun ute. Kudos to the acceleration, Brembo brakes, skidpad performance, and 157-mph top speed. Thumbs down to the fuel economy, trucklike ride, and numb steering. We love the Hemi’s rumble, but on long drives, it gets annoying. Overall, though, this is the best value in its segment.
