Jeep Grand Cherokee – registered as a light commercial: the collective page of the SUV with four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2.49 to 6.42 litres, 85 to 164 kW, 4.49 to 5.20 m length
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is an SUV built since 1992 by the Jeep brand, formerly part of Chrysler and today of the Stellantis group; in this register it appears as a "Transporter" because individual examples were registered commercially as light commercial vehicles (class N1). Across the ZJ, WJ, WK, WK2 and WL generations the model grew steadily, with suffixes such as Limited, Overland, SRT and SRT8 denoting trim or performance level; the three-row, long-wheelbase Grand Cherokee L was added in 2021.

The register lists 38 versions here with 85 to 164 kW from four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2,490 to 6,417 cm³ displacement. Kerb weights range from 1,687 to 2,615 kg, gross vehicle weight from 2,300 to 3,130 kg, and lengths from 4,490 to 5,200 mm.
As a commercially registered light commercial vehicle, the Grand Cherokee makes use of the SUV's large body and high payload for transport purposes for which a regular estate or van is impractical on space or presentation grounds; as a production model it competes with the Ford Explorer, Toyota Land Cruiser and the large SUVs of the German premium brands.
Buying used, on petrol engines (4.0-litre inline-six, 4.7 and 5.2/5.9-litre V8, SRT8's 6.4-litre V8) check oil consumption and ignition coil condition, on the 2.7- and 3.0-litre CRD diesels check the turbocharger, EGR valve and timing chain, and also check the air suspension (Quadra-Lift), four-wheel-drive system and rust around the rear wheel arches. Parts are well supplied through the regular Jeep dealer network.
