Is the diesel engine of the Grand Cherokee noisy? Does it vibrate?

The diesel engine of the Grand Cherokee is not very noisy and is completely acceptable, though it is indeed louder than the gasoline version. The sound is not as pleasant as that of a gasoline car. Engine noise is noticeably audible at speeds below 20 km/h, but the faster you go, the less noticeable the sound becomes. At high-speed cruising, the noise is almost inaudible. There is also minimal vibration. Introduction to the Grand Cherokee: The Grand Cherokee is a classic model from Chrysler, pioneering the high-end off-road vehicle market. Grand Cherokee Features: The Grand Cherokee comes with leather seats featuring 10-way power adjustment, making it suitable for drivers of all sizes. It also includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, walnut wood trim throughout the cabin, power windows for all four doors, and a four-spoke power-adjustable steering wheel with controls for audio station selection and volume adjustment. Additionally, it is equipped with a cruise control system, giving the Grand Cherokee the quality of a luxury sedan.
As a former owner who drove a diesel Grand Cherokee for 3 years, I can responsibly say it does make some noise during cold starts. Especially in winter when starting in underground parking, you can clearly hear the 'tick-tick' sound. However, the cabin sound insulation is genuinely excellent once driving - at highway speeds of 120km/h, wind noise becomes more noticeable than the engine sound. Regarding vibration, there's only slight steering wheel tremor when idling in D gear at red lights, otherwise it feels no different from gasoline cars. The fuel efficiency of diesel engines is truly amazing - my usual long-distance trips could cover over 900km on a single tank. The adaptation period only takes about the first two weeks, and once accustomed, you might even find this sound particularly powerful, giving a feeling like driving an American muscle car.
