Cars.com Reviews the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
When the Jeep Grand Cherokee was redesigned last year, Chrysler managed to make the SUV a more refined daily driver while maintaining most of the old Grand Cherokee's rugged nature. The updates are probably a boon for traditional Grand Cherokee buyers, but it wasn’t a great fit for Cars.com reviewer Kristin Varela or her family. The high step-up height and the somewhat snug interior made the Grand Cherokee not the best fit for large families, Varela says.

A Suburban would have better suited her needs.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a niche vehicle for a niche segment of the market, but it certainly isn't suitable for everyone.
For large families who require a low step in, a Toyota Sienna AWD would be much more appropriate.
I wonder why Ms Varela would even consider a Grand Cherokee to be a fit for a large family that requires a low ingress/egress.
Of all the things a Grand Cherokee may or may not be, it is not a good fit for more than four adults, nor is it a match for people of short stature, or kids, without some major additions.
