Model Overview:

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.

  • Not as good a deal as I thought - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I loved my Jeep when I first got it. About 4 months after owning it, I had a leak in the side pillars from the sunroof. It has been to the dealer 4 times for same problem. The last time the drain tubes were replaced and no problems. Guess what, its leaking again. Transmission leaked at 25K, but dealership fixed it. Had to replace the tires at 30,000 miles. I will never buy another Jeep again.

  • DONT DO IT! ! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I will never ask anyone to get this kind of vehicle! It was my dream car. I got mines from a dealership, saw car facts, clean title no accidents. Only 1 owner. really nice looking. This vehicle is not worth it. Too many mechanical problems. Once one thing messes up everything messes up! I was very good with keeping up with the car, but not even that could stop it. Out of the 2 1/2 years ive had it ive probably driven it for 8 months. At one point I had it parked for 2 months straight. Towed it to different mechanics not one could figure out what was wrong with it. Spent almost the same amount I paid for it. Fixing it. Its not reliable. It turned off on me 2 times on the hwy going 60. So scary!! Its was to the point where I could only turn it on 2 times a day & that was it. Till the next day it wouldnt turn on. It would stall, battery would drain every other day. I had re wiring done still wouldnt work. Nothing sucked more then getting stuck in traffic because the truck would turn off. It was just too much. I would not recremend this vehicle. Worst decision ever.

  • Great Vehicle - but technology has glitches - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    2014 Grand Cherokee – Overland Edition. After driving 4-Runners for years, I made the switch to Jeep and love the luxury and smooth ride. I live in upstate New York where 4WD is really only needed a dozen or so days a year. However, it’s on these days with heavy snow that I miss the clearance of the 4 Runner, and actually got my Jeep stuck twice last winter, but it probably had more to do with the low profile tires than the 4WD. Luckily, after digging myself out I was able to sit on heated seats and grab a warm steering wheel, which are my two favorite features. My main complaint is the Navigation System – I would recommend skipping this option and buying a GPS since the Chrysler navigation system WILL get you lost. I’ve even been directed to turn up one way streets in the wrong direction! Plus, if you are driving you cannot enter addresses into the system and the voice recognition is completely useless. The first time it understands an address I give it will be the first time in over a year it’s ever understood an address. It’s no Siri!! If Jeep can fix the navigation & voice recognition system I would buy another Grand Cherokee.

  • 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.

  • Excellant SUV - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. is the best SUV I have ever owned. Everything has functioned perfectly in everyway and for a V8 4X4, 21-23mpg on highway is great. Also think the ride is just about perfect, not too smooth and not too firm.

  • This isnt my fathers JEEP! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    The comfort, performance and styling make this one of the most fun cars Ive ever driven. Ive got 10,000 miles so far and have had not one problem.

  • great second jeep - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    My wife and I bought this Jeep due to the great service from our 96 Cherokee. We could not be happier. The style is great, the interior and function extremely well thought out, and it is very comfortable and safe to drive. The room is generous and the performance with the 4.7 V-8 is incredible. The ride is excellent, brakes and handling very impressive. It is also a perfect size--fits nicely in our 2-car garage with another car with room to walk. This is a fine and durable vehicle to serves us as we move into our 60s with grace and verve!

  • Transmission problems - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Purchased new 2005 Laredo 4X4 and within a week it was back at the dealers. It has been back twice for a total of 20 days for repair. They told me the first time that the transmission was flooded with water. The air conditioner condenser is right above the tranny dipstick, and it drains into it. What a poor design! Never buy a Chrysler product. Not once has anyone from Chrysler Jeep contacted me to apologize for the trouble and inconvenience and hardship that this is causing.

  • Grand Cherokee is good every day driver. - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I am returning my leased 2000 Grand Cherokee after 3 years/35k miles. Was skeptical at first re quality, but had no issues except broken power lock motor. Car has been a great every day driver and towed my 1000lb wave runner trailer with no probems. Overall I felt I got a great value for small monthly payment. Gas mileage was around 2o miles/gallon and insurance cost were lower than most other cars I had. Test drove a few other sporte utes this week, but decided to get another Jeep. While not a spectacular head turner, I like overall solid performance vs. cost.
