Overview & Reviews

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the pioneers that ushered in the modern midsize SUV in the early 1990s. Jeep has always wanted the Grand Cherokee to be maneuverable enough for urban duty, roomy enough for family duty, stylish enough to take out on the town and capable enough to tow your toys or shuttle your passengers to a remote campsite. Modern Grand Cherokees are far more refined than the early models, but they're no less versatile.

Unlike most other traditional SUVs, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has always been built using a carlike unibody platform for superior on-road handling. Yet Jeep's strong reputation for off-road prowess is retained, thanks to the Grand Cherokee's advanced four-wheel-drive systems and capable suspension. It's a rare combination of attributes in a modern utility vehicle, as the Jeep is able to venture farther off the beaten path than competing crossover SUVs.

  2004 Jeep grand cherokee - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By kpj - June 16 - 2:00 am

  I feel safe and protected in this SUV. It has an air leak sound when the heating sysem is in use, which is irritating and aparently normal. The mileage is bad...16 to 17 mpg. The grand cherokee is not as sporty looking as the limited. I recommend the Enumclaw delarship.The side to side motion does not feel as stable as the 2000 which I owned previously.

  cool looks, but noisy! - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jeep Mama - June 12 - 1:16 pm

  I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee. it is reliable and comfortable with great looks. I only have a problem with the build quality. The Jeep is only three years old, and the brakes squeal quite a bit. Also, the seals around the second row windows are already coming loose (even though I always park in the garage) resulting in a whistling noise on the highway.

  Going Strong - 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Long Time Owner - June 11 - 9:10 am

  I bought my V8 Laredo from the dealership with 17K miles and have almost 200K now. Drove it in Los Angeles for 2 + years then mostly in the mid-west, with frequent cross country trips. This car has held up superbly over time. The body and interior are still in excellent shape. There have been a few standard repairs over the years. The only real problem is the rear axle and bearings; they have had chronic problems since around 100K miles - they need to be rebuilt replaced about every 2+ years which can hurt the wallet. This car has been otherwise excellent in all driving conditions and weather. Very good car for long trips! Im shooting for 250K miles for sure.

  Good and Bad - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JBCJBC - June 10 - 2:00 am

  Best offroad vehicle. Great in snow. Best looking SUV out there. Reliability is well below average. Have replaced 1 computer, 3 sets of rotors, emergency brake, 1 window regulator. If you are going to buy one of these make sure you get the extended warrranty.

  awesome car - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By tenseven - June 9 - 5:10 am

  Bought it in 1995, 30K miles, 2 years old. Now has 185,500 miles. Cannot find anything on the market, new or otherwise, with the seat comfort and the visibility out the side and rear windows. Minimal repairs along the way. Gas mileage still 15-16 in town, 20-21 on the road.

  Jeep FanI have owned many cas - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By JB - June 7 - 3:20 am

  I have owned many cars including Jeeps. I owned an 04; but decided I would like Navigation etc. I now find its too complicated for me. Too many hard and soft keys to push which takes eyes off the road. Speedometter has swapped places with Tac and itis way too small. Caught for speeding before 200 miles.

  Happy Grand Cherokee Owner - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By george morris - June 2 - 7:00 am

  I purchased my Grand Cherokee new in October 1995. Although mileage is a low 66,000, it has been a very reliable vehicle. The Grand Cherokee performs just as well today as the day I purchased it. Jeep Quadratrack and stength of V8 engine proved to be a very good combination both on road and off. Thumbs up to Jeep!

  Great Car for Mountains, Town, Towing! - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jay - May 26 - 10:03 pm

  The car now has 168,000 miles, and runs great. We take it across country to high mountain areas, fully loaded, and towing with no problems. It is easy to work on. The straight six 4.0 is a great engine. I get 20 mpg highway, less in city driving. The transmission lasted until 150,000 miles. Original engine, regular maintenance only, with replacement of worn out items. If you can replace these yourselves, this is a great car to have. Oil changes at home are very easy. The horsepower of the 6 is of course less than a V8, but is very adequate in 99.9% of situations. Car is great in snow (use chains with the 2WD) This has been the most used car in the household for the last 10 years.
