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. New standard features on all models include stability control and one-touch up-down front windows. Newly optional on the Laredo is the Quadra-Trac II four-wheel-drive system and an off-road package.
- 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.

Never AGAIN! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Bethany - September 2 - 1:03 pmI bought this Jeep a few months ago and have had NOTHING but problems with it! I would be driving down the road and the jeep would just shut off. The next day it wouldnt speed up over 10 miles an hour. I have had it in the shop 3 times in 3 months! Chrysler keeps telling me they cant find anything wrong with it. Yeah,right they cant. I will NEVER buy another jeep again.

Bad Gas Mileage 3.7l v6 - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By ted - August 22 - 12:50 amPurchased This jeep off a lease with with 24k on it was hoping to get at least 18 to 20 mpg on the highway, best Ive gotten is 16.9 average and now it has dropped to 14.7 mpg, also wouldnt shift into reverse right away sometimes. Dealer said it was some kind of faulty shift mod, and supposedly replaced but it still acting up, Just had it in for oil change and noticed the transmission pan was all wet with fluid but we couldnt tell exactly where it was coming from maybe a bead seal on the pan, I have my eye on it. overall I love to drive the jeep.

Pains me to say it.... - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By kpn - July 19 - 10:16 pmAs I write this my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is in the shop for the 8th time in the 2.5 years Ive owned it. Im a low mileage driver 13000 miles in 2.5 years, which comes out to a trip to the dealer every 1625 miles for service - 4 times for the exact same reoccuring issue - absurd! I love this car, the size, handling, handling in snow, features, the amount of options I got for the money, but the reliability, sadly is just not there. Prior to getting married I was a strictly Japanese car owner, but my husband was a Jeep die hard. After driving his 02 Cherokee for a Chicago winter I decided to bite the bullet and get one of my own. Sadly this car has proven Japanese is better.

Great SUV - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By jeepyeah - July 14 - 3:13 amThe 5.7 L Hemi is awesome in the performance it provides. I highly recommend spending the extra money to get the Hemi. You wont regret it.

love my 65th edition - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By lo123 - July 3 - 12:36 pmI bought my 65th edition back in Sept. 2006. I absolutely love it. The only thing I dont love is the gas mileage especially with gas at $4 a gallon. I dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon though. I only need to fill up every 2 weeks since most of my driving is local. I dont mind the plastic interior. I actually like it because it makes it easier to clean. I had a 2001 Jeep Cherokee which I also really enjoyed. I love having the extra features on the Laredo that are included with the 65th edition. I really enjoy driving my jeep!

Lexus LS owner Lovin the SRT-8 - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Joe - May 23 - 1:56 pmBought my 2006 Jeep SRT-8 2 months ago used with 19,000 miles on it. I am in love with Japanese cars and have owned Mazda RX-7s, Toyotas, Hondas and currently drive a Lexus LS. I wanted a fun car to drive around daily, however could not afford the newest high performance Nissan GT-R or Lexus IS-F. I am amazed at this Jeep. Not sure how well it will do in the long term, however this car puts smiles on my face that I have never experienced before. If you need it for a daily driver - I can not say how good it will be. If you need a second car that will make you grin from light to light and may break down once in a while (or not????) this will not let you down!

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By John Broyles - April 28 - 9:26 pmThe most fun SUV I have ever driven. Nice interior, very stiff and sporty suspension. If you are looking for a high performance vehicle that can be driven year round, this is the one. Very nice interior and exterior design.

Jeep Overland - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Steve DeLuca - April 17 - 2:43 amDrives great in snow and wet conditions, very comfortable, seems to be dependable, have had problems with the radio (lots of static), poor gas mileage 12-14 miles per gallon -- definitely not what was advertised. Interior is very nice (sporty yet custom).

Does not make me jump up and down - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By erickson - April 3 - 6:40 pmThe vehicle is real safe. That is its best feature. I will not buy another jeep as the quality it very poor. The first problem was with the blower motor, hardly puts out any air at a low speed. I had transmission leaks that took three trips to the dealer to fix. A transmission switch went bad in the console and had to be fixed. Most recent the vehicle would not move. The traction system went crazy and made the vehicle stop. I had to shut off the traction light to get the vehicle to move. For the price of the vehicle and the problems I have had, I feel very disappointed with this jeep. I have been looking at GM products again. Looking to get rid of the jeep.

Good Price for a Disposable (Laredo RWD) - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By PuertoRico - March 21 - 12:26 amGood price among same category SUVs available having many more features for the same price as competitors. Has nice handling in curves thanks to ESP and electronic transmission control. Descent sound quality and air conditioning unit. Center rear view mirror auto dimming is definitely a plus. Transmission is jumpy and kicks from time to time. Interior finishes are kind of mediocre and unfortunately there are noises from the trunks posts plastic covers and in the front console
