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.

Nice Looks, Poor reliability - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By C Paltz - January 30 - 9:33 amI love the look and comfort of my 2002 Laredo but... I bought this Jeep used at 36,000 miles last September. Here it June with almost 57,000 miles and my air conditioning is broken for the 2nd time...not too nice in Florida in the summer. I have a power steering leak and the leather on my drivers seat is starting to crack and separate at the seams. Also, on the overhead console, the coolant low warning keeps beeping at the cars start up but the coolant level and quality is fine. I would really love another one that works great but I think Ill be trading mine in for another brand as soon as I get the air conditioner fixed this month.

Brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By fbj1445 - January 29 - 2:28 pmI just picked up a JGC Overland with the V-8 3 days ago in Stone white with black interior and I must say that I am very,very impressed ! It drives and handles better than I expected. The interior is simple the best Ive seen compared to others. The quality and workmanship shows in every detail from the hand stitched top dash, the real wood trimmings and steering wheel, to the leather seats with light grey piping. Dont think youll get anything better for the money! Especially for what it can do off-road. The overland edition is the way to go if your looking for Luxury and off-road capabilty to the fullest. Also get the V-8, its well worth the extra money!

Bulletproof I6 - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Jacob - January 29 - 2:22 amThis vehicle was given to me with 280k miles on the odometer. Even now, it is unstoppable. With only two wheel drive Ive never gotten stuck, despite my best efforts. My Jeep has seen a lot of trails--and a lot of things that are not quite trails--and has pushed through all of them like a champ. The straight 6 gives not only impressive torque for a 4 liter, but an incredibly smooth drive, and has yet to fail to get me over any mound of dirt and rock Ive thrown at it. Ive owned it for six months and have had to replace both idler pulleys. When the second idler pulley quit, it chewed up the mounting bracket pretty good. Picked up a replacement bracket for ten bucks at a scrap yard, spent thirteen on a pulley at AutoZone, and did the repairs myself. Most expensive maintenance to date. Theres a problem with the clutch (automatic), but manually starting in first circumvents such transmission problems. To hear it told, I wouldnt bother rebuilding the transmission- If it quits, you replace it. Ill happily drop the $1500 when that happens. When I fold down rear seats (quickly and easily), I can lay down and stretch out completely in the back. I never imagined I would be an SUV owner, but I _love_ this Jeep. For a point of reference, my dream car is a Chevy Spark. In that vein, gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired. Even still, I wouldnt trade it for a Prius (my BIG dream car). Okay, Id trade it for a new-ish Prius C. Any takers?

This diesel is not enjoyable - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Edward Kauffman - January 28 - 2:02 pmI love the sound of a diesel engine, and I appreciate the great fuel economy for a vehicle of its size. This VMI V-6 motor is totally adequate in power output. Highway cruising and passing are effortless. There are some glaring negatives, however, that limit my enjoyment of this motor. Foremost is the profound turbo lag that, on leaving a stop, causes very little response from the motor for about one second, then suddenly a rush of acceleration. It so substantial that it makes one look like a beginning driver abusing a clutch. One can avoid this behavior by loafing away from a stop to a speed of about 10 MPH before accelerating more vigorously; this requires changing driving habits specifically for this vehicle. This turbo lag is also seen at higher speeds when the motor is loafing and at low RPM, when suddenly asked for more power. The motor requires very expensive ($8-10 per quart) low ash diesel qualified oil, and expensive oil filters. After my first oil change at the Jeep dealer the check engine light came on because the ash filter in the exhaust system had become totally loaded. By contrast, the ZF eight speed automatic is wonderful; one is minimally aware of it working. The vehicle is a real highway cruiser. It is very quiet and pleasant for roadwork. I have had limited exposure to off-pavement travel. What experience I have makes me question the value of its "Trail Rated" status. The front bumper airdam is so low that it easily scrapes on small boulders here on our Arizona dirt trails. The ground clearance (without the extra cost air suspension) is about the same as my wifes Subaru Forester XT. My online reading leads me to believe that one can not easily remove this low airdam for off-road use and then drive at highway speeds with it off. So in reality this Jeep is a crossover vehicle with super-nice all wheel drive capability, but inadequate ground clearance to challenge moderately rough trail use. I suspect that Jeep gave this vehicle its "Trail Rated" status after testing with the airdam removed.

IM LOVIN MY JEEP 4 X 4 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By L. CHARLES WIMER III - January 27 - 10:00 amI bought a 2004 leftover and I love it. I feel very safe. Doesnt ride like a truck, very comfortable. Some SUVs feel like youre riding a bucking bull. The gas mileage is better than I expected. Not being all wheel drive certainly helps offset gas expense. The stereo and interior layouts are fair at bes -- it seems like there is wasted space around the dashboard and gear shift. The upgraded stereo system is worth it. If you want very reliable transportation (in all weather conditions) at a fair price (not mention the Jeep holds its value) -- then Id highly recommend this vehicle. Like I said, I love mine!!!!

Loved it - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By seattlegirrlie - January 26 - 9:36 pmI was reading other reviews laughing and had to add my own. I LOVED my V8 Limited and wouldnt have given her up for anything. Shes a five star ride, handles like a dream, parks great in the city, goes absolutely anywhere off road, handles snow, ice, mud, fallen trees, and flooding with ease. All the gremlins everyone else had, I had too. Seat motor died, window motor died, had to fix the AC, and the rear tail lights never quite worked no matter what you did. All those little mechanical/electrical issues didnt matter. I bought her at 120K and passed 200K before a drunk driver took her out.

Best Grand Cherokee Ever - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Craig Kessler - January 24 - 10:23 pmI have had 2 previous Jeep Grand Cherokees. This one is heads and shoulders above the older models. I feel like the suspension and ride are the best. Quality of materials is top notch and I received high content for the money spent. Acceleration is superb, I could have done fine with the v-6, but the v-8 is fun.

Love the Summit with 5.7L Hemi - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Ron B - January 24 - 8:16 pmIve owned this (my first) Jeep for 19 months now, and have had no problems. I look forward to getting behind the wheel every day. Lots of towing power, and passes with ease on the highway. So glad I bought the Summit model with its Hemi powerplant, luxury appointments and expanded technology. I bought it used in April 15 with 35k miles, and it was tight as a drum and drove like new. Gas mileage has been 16-17 in the city, and up to 23 on the highway. I couldnt be happier!
