The Laredo is the entry grade of the Grand Cherokee range and the base-spec Laredo is a V6 petrol rear-wheel drive which lists for $47,500. All other Grand Cherokees are four-wheel drive (4WD). Above this two-wheel drive variant sits the 4WD V6 petrol Laredo for $52,500 and then there's a V6 diesel for $59,000.

That V6 petrol is a 3.6-litre engine which produces 213kW/347Nm. The V6 diesel is a 3.0-litre turbo engine which makes 184kW/570Nm. All Grand Cherokees have an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard features on the Laredo include 18-inch alloy wheels, an 8.4-inch touchscreen (5.0-inch in the 4x2), 7.0-inch instrument cluster display, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, power adjustable and heated front seats, proximity unlocking and start button, auto headlights and wipers, and dual-zone climate control.

Laura Berry
Senior Journalist
Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
