The Grand Cherokee was marketed as the most capable off-roader ever built - and honestly, it's hard to argue with that catchline. This imposing, nicely-trimmed 4x4 only had to rub shoulders with the Range Rover when it arrived on the market. By the mid-2000s, it had clearly inspired the likes of the Cayenne and the X5. That made this 2003 example a superb mid-range for a newly luxurious age - and one that's still well worth adopting.
Featuring a handsome wood-capped cabin, and an imposing black livery, this Cherokee is every bit as comfortable as it would have been rolling out of Jeep's Austrian plant. Having only covered a scant 53,865 miles, and passed through only two keepers, this off-roader is ready and waiting for its new keeper - accompanied by a long MOT.
