This Year's Model Updates:

For 2015, the Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup sees a minor shuffling of features while the high-performance SRT trim level gets a boost in engine output. The Summit trim level is quieter this year thanks to new noise-cancelling methods.

Pros:
  • Strong and fuel-efficient engine lineup, including diesel V6
  • Upscale interior
  • Irrefutable off-road ability
  • Plenty of luxury and technology-oriented features
  • Outlandish SRT model.
Cons:
  • Typically more expensive than competitors
  • Diesel engine is noisy when idling.

  • Traded it after 22k miles. - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I believe the 2015 Grand Cherokee is one of the finest looking SUV on the market. The Overland with V8 is a 90k dollar vehicle in a 50k dollar price range. Ride quality, design, and performance are excellent. However the fuel economy is terrible. In town was 13 at best highway 18 combined 14. After 5000 miles there was blow by smoke on star up. Dealer said it was normal. After 10.000 miles strange rattle in dash. Dealer couldnt locate noise. When running at low speeds in Eco mode loud vibration under driver seat. I had the vehicle for 18 months just traded it for 2016 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. More HP and torq plus 3 to 5 MPG better in all areas. Plus a 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds in a full size 4 door 4x4 truck. Full second faster than the jeep. Worlds better 4x4 and better overall vehicle.

  • Unexpected changes for 2015. No more dual exhausts. - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I took delivery of my new 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited this week. Unfortunately, I failed to notice that for 2015, Jeep has eliminated the sporty dual exhausts for the Limited, which is very surprising for their most popular selling model. Aesthetics were part of my decision for the Grand Cherokee and this is a horrible design decision by Jeep. It cheapens the look of the high-end Limited model down to an ordinary Laredo and ruins the symmetry of the car from the back. Having just shelled over $45K for a Limited, I expected better. This is a very cheapskate decision and shame on Jeep.

  • Looks Great But!!! - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I really wanted one of these. My son has a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited and i fell in love with it. The overall ride, comfort, features. So I did a lot of different car shopping and settled on a 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited in Red, the color I really wanted. I got a good deal. Second day I had it I could not program the memory seats. Took it back to the dealer which was great, salesman and service manager looked at it for about 30 minutes and could not get it to work so I had to make an appointment to bring it in. Few days later smelling oil from the vehicle in my garage. Looked underneath it and oil dripping from it. Took it right down to dealer as it is close to my home and they brought it right in and said my power steering pump was leaking and they would have to replace the entire pump. 700 miles and new pump. Said I could drive it as they would have to order part would have it in a day or 2. So I go to take it in in 2 days and a puddle of oil by my back tire. My rear shock was bad, they had to replace that also. So 2 major things with under 1000 miles on it. The power seats the push pin connector was bent. Now fast forward I have 3000 miles on it and my front tire was at 9 lbs thought I picked up a nail or something so took it to dealer. They found nothing in tire so thought it was the valve stem, replaced it. well next day tire low again and the next day low again. Back at the dealer today for low tire issue. I think I may have a lemon. I hope this is it with the problems. I had Subarus for the last 3 years with not 1 problem. I buy this car and nothing but problems in the first month. I really like the vehicle but I am hating the inconvenience and the poor reliability. Paid a lot of money for this. The dealer has been great so far.

  • HORRIBLE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING SYSTEM - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I strongly suggest that you should not purchase one of these vehicles until the terrible, dangerous, unreliable, finicky electronic shift program is changed. 1) Every time I start this Jeep and pull back the console shift lever to put it in drive, nothing happens the first time. I have to repeat this action twice to get the transmission into Drive. Because this shift lever is not connected mechanically to the transmission, it relies on sensors to read what position (Park, Drive, Reverse, Neutral...) you are trying to get the transmission to shift to. This system is either very poorly designed, is made up of faulty components, is poorly programmed, or (you fill in the blank...) When I want to back up, it often takes several tries to get the vehicle to move into the Reverse position. With almost every other automatic transmission ever built, there is a detent, or notch that you feel when shifting into a different gear. Not so with this terrible design. The console shift lever has a Home" position that is resides in until you try to convince it to "sense" the gear that youre trying to shift to. When I am going through an automatic car wash and get to the end, I cant just move the transmission from neutral to drive quickly to get out of the way of the vehicle that is just 2-3 feet behind me. NO. Instead I have to push the button on the shift lever (no big deal) AND step on the brake pedal before I can get it into Drive!!! This really freaks out the driver behind me, often causing them to hit their brakes when they see my brake lights come on. Since they are still on the transport system of the car wash, this then crashes the car wash drive and they have to stop and reset their system. I have owned close to 40 cars and trucks, most of them with automatic transmissions. I have NEVER had one that requires the driver to step on the brake pedal when shifting from Neutral to Drive. This is stupid, cumbersome and DANGEROUS. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer many times, asking them to fix these problems, only to be told that pretty much everyone who owns one of these has brought it back with the same request for "repairs". The answer is that there is NO REPAIR or adjustment available. They actually designed it to work this way. I wish I had not purchased this vehicle and feel sorry for everyone who has one. If there is any good news in this at all, it is that our lovely Federal Government is now engaged in an "Engineering Review" of all the complaints about this vehicles electronic shift program to see if it needs to be elevated to a RECALL. I dont know how it cant be.

  • I thought o purchased a is produced car. only 50% - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    Blew out a tire on a road hazard a thousand miles from home. The full size spare turned out to be a cheep Korean tire that viberated so badly I lost a day replacing the distroyed tire. Chrysler customer service told me the spair was for emergency service only. Jeep will be my last chrisler product
