Overview & Reviews

A 5.9-liter V8 making 245 horsepower and 345 pound-feet torque powers the Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited, making it the mightiest of all Jeeps. With the addition of the 5.9, the putrid Orvis model dies. Two new colors and "next-generation" airbags round out the changes.

• Lightweight unibody construction, excellent on and off-road manners, optional V-8, standard ABS, dual airbags, lots of standard equipment

• Spare tire hogs cargo area, engines hog gas, not as roomy inside as some competitors, price climbs rapidly as options are added

  Most sought JEEP model - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By joanne - July 8 - 10:43 am

  They didnt make too many of them, theyre in high demand. Theres also a club for just this model. Minimal repairs since owning vehicle. Most luxurious Jeep model and year Ive seen. Gas Mileage could be better, 20 on the freeway, less in town. Still going strong after almost 20 years. Still looks nearly new.

  Awesome Jeep! Bought it used off of a lease and have loved it for the 2+ years weve had it thus far. Would buy another Jeep in a second!

  Excellent purchase dont regret it - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bravealdie - August 14 - 10:00 am

  I did a lot of research before I bought my vehicle and overall for that body style that was the best year to have purchased one. The only complain I have of this vehicle is that it has a poor fuel consumption. Mechanically this vehicle is very sound, extremely stylish, and very dependable that will provide many fun years off road and on pavement.

  5.9 Jeep Rocks - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Coop - April 17 - 1:26 pm

  I bought this off a friend who got it new. It has 123,000 miles with no problems. It has a K&N Filter and gets approimately 17-18 on the highway and passing is NO problem as this SUV will fly. Had to put seals in transfer case where drive shaft goes in; dried up. Its only on its 3rd set of tires and they are new. Goes great in any condition. IF only it did not have the road noise/whine on the highway it would be perfect. Do have a strange electrical problem, may be ignition switch but still very reliable.

  Excellent - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ef822 - February 15 - 12:13 pm

  I just bought the car because I have a child and wanted something that was spacious and safe at the same time. I think I have made a great choice in what I chose. The car to me rides so smooth for being a somewhat slender suv. I honestly thought it would be a little bumby and I was pleastly suprised. So far I have only had the car for a few day but I love it. I was also kind of worried about the gas mileage with it being a v8, It actually gets pretty good gas mileage. Overall I would say this is a wonderful car.

  I love my Jeep - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jeepman73CJ - October 7 - 2:00 am

  I will never drive or own another type of vehicle. I have a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with the 5.2L V-8, and Quadra- Trac. I drive it hard both on and off- road, and it has never given me any problems. The Quadra-Trac fulltime 4wd system claws to snowy and icey roads like a wounded animal, and I highly reccomend it for people who live in that type of climate. Off-road is where this Jeep really shines, I have been places in this Jeep that I never thought it could or should be able to go, and even after an unmerciful flogging on the trail, the Jeep ready for more. Like I said before, I will never drive anything other than a Jeep.

  Wonderful Jeep - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By E. Woody - August 11 - 10:16 am

  I have enjoyed ownership of my 1998 Grand Cherokee. It has a wonderful ride. The seats are as comfortable as a recliner. It has been almost problem- free. The cost of ownership has been approximately $250 above the purchase price and maintenance. Fuel economy has been 15/24 mpg with an average highway mileage of 22.5 mpg. This is my second Cherokee. I plan to purchase another soon.

  I love my Jjeep - as a college student I need a reliable car with lots of space to move my stuff up and back. This gives me all of that with a nice interior and all the features I could want.

  Limited 5.9 Still a BEAST - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By princeofpeace - March 23 - 8:16 am

  We bought this as a step up in a second car. It quickly became our favorite. From 0-100 it takes just 16 seconds! Stops from 100 m.p.h. in a amazing 126ft. This is a 1/4 mile high 14s Jeep! Bone stock,179K miles still idles at 600rpm smooth as glass. Stomping on the gas lurches you forward without any tire spin just flat out acceleration. Gets 15m.p.g. overall a stout 18@ 65mph for any length. The interior is laid out perfect! Cruise and radio/CD control on the steering wheel.Climate control that really works! Slick leather seats in dove Grey.Leather and wood everywhere! Faster than 5.0s n Vettes in the 1990s! Still shocks kids at red light jumps. Only in a Jeep!
