Jeep Grand Cherokee
The Armored Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV is unmistakably one of the de facto choices when it comes to armored vehicle purchasing, and with good reason: combining a large and comfortable interior with its performance, off-road and towing capabilities, it is definitely a great choice for armoring. Moreover, Jeep Grand Cherokee's are rugged built with style, its powerful engine and thick frame really lend themselves towards armoring.
Plenty of space is supplied to seat seven occupants comfortably, with a great deal left over for cargo. What makes this beast go is a 6.4L Hemi V8 yielding 475hp, attached to a Eight-speed sequential shift transmission, making it easy to distribute the power to the pavement. Power locks and windows, touchscreen infotainment system and second row folding seats round out some of the features found in this armored SUV.
