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.

  Very Nice for the Price - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Steve - February 24 - 4:20 am

  I recently traded my old car in because I needed a vehicle with a trailer hitch. I had looked at many different vehicles, and none had everything I wanted. This Jeep is perfect for me. I got a well equipped Laredo 4WD model with the Red Rock Crystal Pearl paint, and black interior. The color is awesome! It drives smooth and it has a lot of power. The build quality feels very good. I love the sun and sound package which has a power sunroof and the 6 CD and satellite upgraded radio. Overall, for the decent price, it is a great car.

  Found my soulmate!!! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By AmysJeep05 - February 23 - 8:46 pm

  I bought a 2005 JGC about a year ago and fell in love as soon as I saw her. Bought and took her home that day (unusual for me). 2/4/10, some idiot on her cell phone rear ended me at 50mph and totaled my baby. Demolished 3 vehicles in accident including my jeep,but, everyone walked away unharmed. Being in the middle of a 3 car accident like that; if my family had been in one of our other two vehicles I dont think we would have had the same outcome. 4 people owe their lives to that truck and I will NEVER buy anything else. Purchasing an 05 Limited w/ 5.7L Hemi, tomorrow and I cant wait!!

  Could be better - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mat - February 22 - 4:10 am

  Hoping 2005 was just an off year. Mine has been back to the dealer 4 or 5 times for different items like the tire pressure monitor and the air bag light continuing to have problems. Then the 5 cent knob on the GPS guide broke and they had to order a new radio (the whole unit), not to mention the brake rotors warping and getting replaced under warranty. Other than that its fine.

  Best vehicle ever owned - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By icetheis - February 21 - 9:46 pm

  This is by far the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Weve had it for 6 yrs. and the repairs weve made are no where near the repairs other vehicles weve owned. Repairs are a little more pricey but thats what you get when you buy a quality vehicle, quality repair work. The gas mileage Im sure is comparable to any other mid-sized SUV. The luxuries are great. Handling is great. Its fun to drive. I cant say enough!

  Jeep no more - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By TROPICAL JEEP - February 21 - 1:50 pm

  The 3.7 L V-6 is a disappointment. After dealing with: transmission problems (apparently loose parts); a fuse box that took me a couple of weeks to determine where it was located and still havent gotten a good look at them to change the one I think may be responsible for the windshield wiper washer not working; a leak inside the cabin every time it rains is driving me nuts (I dont have time for this, I need my car to work full time; strange outside wind noise which you will get used to, just as people who live near airports get used to airplane noise; in other words, if your time is precious and have to work for a living dont buy this car. Take your pick of problems!

  WOW - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ANTQETC1 - February 18 - 10:40 pm

  The more we drive this Jeep with the 5.7 liter engine, the more we love it. Terrific acceleration when needed and effortless acceleration when speed is not needed. The ride is good and the seats while good, are not as good as those in our 1998 Limited. We traded a 2004 Infinity with a Bose high end system and the Boston Acoustics system in the Limited is simply better. Someone did their homework on this system and it simply sounds great. Gas mileage so far is about 15 in city and 20 on highway; as advertised. Actually this is quite remarkable considering it is just about the same as our 98 Limited which has 100 horsepower less and substantially less torque.

  No Complaints - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By pete1 - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Bought mine used with 52,000. Did brakes and serpentine belt. Had been offroad a fair amount per prior owner. Now have 64,000. Really have had no problems. Have heard the street talk about transmission failures but no problems with mine. Again, I think it matters quite a bit how theyre used (towing/offroad/overheating)and maintained.

  I love my Jeep - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By TennyCgal - February 18 - 2:00 am

  This is the first Jeep Ive ever owned. For years I drove a Camaro convertible and never thought I could find another vehicle that would replace the love I had for my Camaro. But I found the replacement. I now drive a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Special Edition. Its color is black crystal. I love this car! Sporty styling with a spacious luxury interior. Who could ask (or want) more??
