After testing six vehicles for fuel efficiency, practicality, driving ability, comfort and features, experts from three major media outlets and a family representing the average mid-size SUV buyer have named the new 2014 Jeep\u00ae Grand Cherokee<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> the winner of the 2013 Cars.com\/USA Today Midsize SUV Challenge.

\u201cWinning this award is especially gratifying since the judges included a typical family of four, in addition to experts from three prestigious media outlets,\u201d said Jack Rodencal, Managing Director of Chrysler Group Middle East. \u201cWe are delighted that the judges recognised the improvements we\u2019ve made to the Jeep Grand Cherokee – the most awarded SUV ever – that make it even better. No other SUV offers Grand Cherokee\u2019s combination of legendary Jeep\u00ae 4×4 capability, fuel economy, advanced user-friendly technology, world-class craftsmanship and on-road refinement.\u201d

The Cars.com\/USA Today Midsize SUV Challenge included 200 miles of driving on varying roads to test each SUV for real-world fuel economy; one day of round-robin driving where each expert tested each SUV on the same route back-to-back to gather impressions; and a day of family testing where a family of four evaluated each of the six SUVs for comfort, family-friendly features, styling and ride quality.

\u201cJeep\u00ae Grand Cherokee<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/span>has long been considered a true, off-roading SUV, and thanks to some serious refinement, today\u2019s incarnation of the Grand Cherokee edges out the other, very worthy, midsize SUV options available to shoppers thanks to its luxurious interior, impressive multimedia system and overall driving capability,\u201d said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com\u2019s Editor-in-Chief.\u201d

Experts from Cars.com, USA Today and Motorweek joined the family of four in judging the vehicles. Full details and results from the 2013 Cars.com\/USA Today Midsize SUV Challenge can be viewed at blogs.cars.com.
