Overview & Reviews

Jeep expands the Grand Cherokee lineup for 2006 with the addition of a range-topping Overland trim level. It's been fitted with more standard luxury features and 5.7-liter V8.

• Three available engines, excellent off-road ability, balanced handling, simple controls.

• Low-quality interior materials, small backseat, poor gas mileage with the big V8, ride can be bouncy over ruts.

  Grand Cherokee SRT - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 06BLKSRT - November 18 - 9:20 pm

  So far the truck is great, has a couple of issues with build quality though. The interior design and layout is great, materials could be better. The door panels and dash for example. Performance is amazing. Gas mileage is what I expected, not much worse than my 5.7 Hemi was. Having some trouble with the exhaust, the pipes are crooked, had it replaced, looked good for 2 days and then crooked again. WHO KNOWS ? Worth the wait, and definitely worth the money.

  Jeep "ON STEROIDS"! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By kenny I. - October 26 - 10:10 pm

  Just picked up my SRT-8 Jeep Feb. 21st. The truck has 49 miles on it. Cant wait to start driving this monster and seeing what this HEMI is all about. Had an E55 2003 Benz, so im all about the torque. My Benz had 516lb. of torque, just a ton. This Jeep just rumbles as soon as i start it. All wheel drive, you cant beat it!

  lets play in the mud - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By phillip bollinger - October 24 - 2:23 am

  Love the vehicle, downsized from a 04 Denali XL with the 6.0 engine, so even with the hemi I love the gas mileage. Plus its fun to dust all of these people in cars who have no clue that a suv can move like that. Great to drive, biggest and best surprise was how good the ride is. I really thought that moving down so much in wheelbase would make it ride much worse than the Denali, I can hardly tell a difference. Already had to pull a full size Ford out with it, the 4x4 system is amazing-especially to be able to pull that much weight (F-250 on grass) and be able to maintain traction was phenomenal, much better than the one I had in the Denali and it was good. Last thing-I love it!

  not bad - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Katrina Woiten - October 12 - 1:33 am

  I purchased this in July with 22k on it and loved it from the get go with only a few reservations, first:the dealership never did give me the 500 dollar gas card I was promised so that soured the experience somewhat. Also the radio went haywire after a few months and the passenger window has a mind of its own at times, the local dealer (not where I bought it) has been great with warranty work though. I would like to have them put the manual control for the 4wd back though as I prefer to decide when this is on. Handles well, drives like a car! Gas mileage is abysmal for a v6... I average 19 or so.

  Not at all Happy Jeep Owner - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By DougM - August 13 - 12:46 am

  This is the most uncomfortable SUV that I have ever driven. It lacks any power in the 3.7 liter and fuel economy is VERY POOR due to vehicle weight. Its in for major engine repair now that left me stranded in the middle of the road; it broke three intake springs with only 22,300 miles and well cared for highway miles. The seats you slide around on while driving - no contour to seats, tilt wheel is difficult to operate, doors slam back at you when opening, and major blind spot in windshield at the A pillars. I will NEVER buy another Jeep product AGAIN! Daimler Chrysler/Jeep emergency roadside service leaves a major lot to be desired also. They wont call back when they say they will.

  Only Jeep - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By teamcolvin - August 5 - 6:10 pm

  I traded in a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 130k miles. I looked at Lexus SUV, Cadillac and 4 Runner. None of them compared to the Jeep. Rugged, as always, but very refined compared to older Jeeps. Variable displacement is crucial. A big improvement from my old Jeep. Extremely fun to drive. If you are worried about fuel economy, buy a car. If you are looking for a class ride with a whole lot of muscle, drive this beast!

  Jeep Overland 5.7 Hemi - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By TBarnett - July 26 - 9:16 pm

  This SUV is a real fun driving experience. Every time I get in the vehicle and turn the key to start the car, a big smile comes across my face. Daimler Chrysler really hit a home run with this vehicle teamed with the HEMI engine. I had two Explorers and an Expedition before this. I had looked seriously at the new Hummer H3. But, when I drove the H3 and this Jeep, the choice was easy to go with the Jeep. It performs awesome with the HEMI engine and handles very well.

  Great so far - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By froggy13 - July 4 - 8:10 am

  After driving the 1997 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0L 6cyl. for several years the 2006 does not disappoint. The 4.7 has plenty of power and is smooth as silk in either light to light driving or at highway speeds. The only down side is that it is a bit harder to see out of than the 97 but large side view mirrors help. Also the adjustable pedals are great for keeping the shorter people in your life well back from the airbags which is a huge piece of mind for me.

  one and only - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jay jay - June 21 - 10:30 am

  This car is great. It has so much going for it. Time will tell how reliable it is, but for now Im very happy. The fact that I dont see many on the road is another good quality. Some would say Im stepping down from a BMW x5 4.4, but Im in the know. Ill have the last laugh, and at the finish line. I could care less for status symbol. I want performance. I get all the same perks navigation system, park assist, and hands free Bluetooth technology and great sound system. I can not compromise that. I paid an extra $1200 to BMW to get the premium sound. SRT-8 kicks.

  So Far So Good - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bob - June 3 - 5:10 pm

  This is a solid and very comfortable SUV. The interior is nice and is very quiet. It drives and handles very well too. The stereo is awesome. So far, it is one of the finest vehicles I have owned.
