A surprisingly decent baseline specification. For just below $35,000, the entry-level Grand Cherokee offers a bare exterior with nothing more than 18-inch alloys to add some visual drama. It does, however, come with a keyless entry, a seven-inch digital display in the instrument cluster, and a useful seven-inch Uconnect infotainment system. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are welcome additions and make it easier to live with the car.
