Overview & Reviews

The 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee's uplevel 5.7-liter V8 gets power and fuel economy boosts, while the high-performance SRT8 model gets additional leather interior surfaces and a performance trip computer. Grand Cherokees fitted with the navigation system gain an iPod interface this year as well.

• True off-road capability, wide range of engine options including diesel, decent on-pavement agility given its off-road intent, crazy performance from the SRT8 model.

• Cramped backseat, limited cargo space, a true gasoline glutton, bouncy highway ride.

  SUV that Rocks! - 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dave from Duxbury - December 19 - 3:20 am

  Just bought the Overland version of the Cherokee with the Hemi. Feels like a sports car off the dime. Nice throaty roar. Love the features such as nav/multi function radio....and IPOD connection. Can upload CD or IPOD tunes to memory. Nav easy to use. Love the automatic high beam dimmer...goes to low beam when other cars appear. Very, very solid road handling...and interior very snug and comfortable. Cant wait to take this baby on a road trip. All in all...I am delighted with this vehicle so far.

  good value - 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By coffee - April 14 - 10:13 pm

  Just purchased a Limited with 5.7 V8 Hemi engine. The engine is powerful and provides excellent acceleration. This is my first Jeep ever. My wife and I are happy with the car so far. The build material is decent for an American car, but not as good as other cars we considered (BMW X3, Audi Q5). We decided on the Grand Cherokee because we got a decent deal after the Chrysler rebates and dealer incentives. The major downside is the gas mileage, which has been dismal (for the first tank of gas). But we are weekend drivers so hopefully this is not a major issue.

  Solid SUV with Good Gas Mileage - 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By theov - August 10 - 10:35 am

  I bought the 2009 GC at the end of 2009 and was able to get this 4x4 SUV at $24,750 before state taxes. The vehicle is an excellent blend of on-road and off-road prowess. On the road, the Jeep has excellent handling getting 17-18 mpg around town and 21-22 mpg on the highway. This is better than the original advertised ratings and this still holds true after 115,000 miles on the vehicle. As good as this vehicle is on the road, it really excels in the snow. I feel very confident when bad weather provides a challenge to safe driving. The Grand Cherokee handles with confidence and good feedback to allow safe driving decisions. A great, reliable used vehicle if you can get one.

  I am reasonably satisfied with my new jeep. I live on a gravel road that does not always get cleared in the winter and wanted a replacement for my Tahoe (awesome in the snow) yet not so big.

  Disappointed - 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By debbie061 - January 6 - 2:12 pm

  I bought a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2009 with 4 miles on it. Everything was going fine the first year, now that Im into my second year with 30,000 miles on it, my Jeep has been in the shop every month. First it was an ERG valve then an ABS sensor, the following month my drain tubes from the moon roof were clogged and one day driving down the road I put on the brakes and water poured out of my overhead lights. But wait I just got back from the dealer having my blower motor replaced. Thank goodness all were covered under factory warranty,but 2000 miles left and its my problem and the dealer wants me to trade it in for a 2011 Compass. I think Im done with Jeeps,maybe Ill try a Honda CRV
