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.

kpl - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By KPL - June 7 - 10:00 amLove this SUV. This is the 3rd one I have owned and the first Linited and fist V8. Will not go back to a 6 cyl. Rides like my Mercedes only more low end torque!. With black interior I get nothing but good comments.Real Plush looking. Have not had to take it back only for standard service. Only thing I do not like is gas millage. It is ok for a V8. It only looses 1 MPG against my wifes 6 cyl. Millage is typical with all similair SUVs.

2004 Grand Cherokee Limited V8 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By MinnKim - June 7 - 10:00 amThis is my 3rd Jeep and the first Grand Cherokee. Its head and shoulders above the no longer made Cherokee in performance, comfort, quietness and fuel economy. I find it quiet and comfortable on the road; a real pleasure to drive.

Great car but terrible reliability - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By jintseng - June 5 - 2:30 pmWe experienced electrical problems 3 weeks after buying it. We opted for the 5.7 V8 Overland with QuadraDrive II. Check the Jeep forums to know problems associated with each model. Our Jeep Grand Cherokee had a check engine light turn on and off randomly. The shut off while the car was in drive, the air suspension raised and lowered, the windshield wipers would come on and off, the headlights would shut off in the middle of the night, and the doors would unlock themselves while the car was parked randomly. My wife was stuck at the mall for 3 hrs when the car would not turn on. The dealership tried to fix the car for 6 months to no available and we were without a loaner for initially.

Move over Imports - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By jeepguy - June 5 - 10:00 amI am impressed with Grand Cherokee, I did drive the Lexus, Audi, BMW, and a Ford, Ford got all wrong. The Jeep has stepped up to the plate and knocked out all competition. Hands down they got it right , great gas mileage, comfort, looks, and style. Also I saved about 20,000 in cash . Also lower cost of ownership. Take from a former import owner.

Pleased so far. - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By erider - June 3 - 7:30 amI purchased a great looking Laredo entry level 4WD V6 model in August. I couldnt turn this deal down because they were offering such a bargain. It cost me the same as a new Honda Civic- a much smaller car! This car, however, is "bare bones" so to speak, with no options at all. But thats okay, I dont have a family so I dont need all that leg and cargo room and all the fancy gadgets. My Jeep, however, came with an inherent electrical problem that took the dealer two days to fix- it was the Junction Box that contained the wiring for the rear door lock that wasnt working correctly. I know I will love this vehicle for many years- its perfect for me!

The original suv - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By jerrymax - June 2 - 9:50 pmI bought my 1996 Grand Cherokee Laredo from my neighbor last December after thinking for a while that I needed an SUV. Ive got no complaints. I frequently visit my daughter in upstate New York and traversing her 175 ft driveway with 9 inches of snow on it was a breeze in the Jeep. Cruises very smoothly at 60 mph but feels like its being pushed too hard at 70. Made for traction, no speed. Jeep has unique qualities, like unibody construction and solid axles, not found in other SUVs. And its the original 4x4, the workhorse vehicle born out of necessity in World War II for the military, the grand-daddy of all SUVs. Ill always have a Jeep from now on, as well as a sedan for summer driving.

97 jeep grand cherokee ltd - 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By harley575 - June 1 - 2:00 amToo many mechanical issues. Water pump, rear axle, front drive shaft. brakes, rotors. The caliper froze and ruined the pads and rotor. Wind noise when the moon roof is open too objectionable. Even though the car has a V-8 it is underpowered. Kills your back on speed humps in parking lots.

Best bang for the buck - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By kbohip - May 30 - 10:00 amIve had 2 Grand Cherokee 5.9s. Love them both. Theres no better feeling than effortlessly pulling away from everyone at stoplights while at half throttle. My advice to anyone considering a Grand is to get an extended warranty or at the very least change the tranny and diff. fluids at 25,000 miles.

Too many hassles... - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By MichaelBman - May 30 - 10:00 amJeeps are cool cars, dont get me wrong. However, I have had so many things go wrong with mine that I will not buy another one. The dealer guaranteed the car, but acted as if I was an idiot when I told them to fix certain things. I have had 3 bearings go bad ($300 a piece), A/C break, and many other things to give me a headache in the 2+ years Ive owned it. Good looking car, but a nightmare to upkeep.

economically bad - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Jeep_Owner - May 30 - 2:00 amVery poor fuel economy, even though used 89 octane rating. Had to refill every 3-4 days. Paid more than $20 every time. Unless you live in a suburban area or farm land where you need a 4WD, wouldnt recommend it. Consumer Reports picked Lexus RX300 as the best choice in midsized sport- utility vehicles. It has the highest overall mpg fuel economy rating in its class.
