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.

SorryWePurchased - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By gotcheated - May 18 - 9:29 pmBought 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit on Dec 21, 2013. 18 days later it was flatbed towed out of my home garage. It would not shift into reverse. Due to our dissatisfaction, we were kicked up to corporate with Resolution team. A brand new transmission is being installed now, a full 2 wks after being towed. Being told from service dept that it is taking longer to install than anticipated, as it is a bigger job than they thought. That makes the customer feel confident. Virtually no communication from corporate or dealership. Do not want this "new" majorly repaired car back. Problem with the transmission seems to be happening with many of the new purchases. Expected a reliable new vehicle for the $

One month and 1100 miles into my 16 JGC - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By MDRRI - May 14 - 10:40 amCant comment on reliability because its still new. However, the driving experience is fantastic. I traded a 2013 200 convertible with the 3.6-litre Pentastar. Its a sweet engine, and its even better with the 8-speed transmission behind it. Im averaging 20-21 MPG with short freeway runs and some around-town puttering. Thats much better than I expected, and not much worse than the 200. I bought it from an out-of-state dealership and drove it 450 miles home from the showroom (averaged 25 MPG on that run with speeds between 65 and 70 MPH - great for a brand new engine). Its a fantastic road-trip car. Comfortable, nearly silent on the highway, firm and supportive front seats with plenty of leg room, and an overall feeling of confidence and stability. This thing has all the hallmarks of a luxury car. The 8.4 uConnect with Nav is easy to operate and the big screen makes changing settings easy. The voice recognition works well, too. Minor quibbles: I wish the wiper control was on a stalk on the right side of the steering column - a quick flick of the finger for a mist wipe is easier than a twist of the turn signal lever; I would like the steering wheel to telescope out further as I like to sit way back (I can still be comfortable, but I would be more comfortable with the steering wheel a bit closer). The base audio system is not bad, though I have ordered Focals from Crutchfield to upgrade the speakers. All said and done, this is a great vehicle - comfortable, solid-feeling, and reasonably economical considering its capabilities. I believe it holds its own as far as features, comfort, and roadability when compared to high-end SUVs costing thousands more, which makes it a bargain. What remains to be seen is how it holds up over time. So far, so good, but its still brand new. If it turns out to be reliable I will keep it until the wheels fall off. I have owned Chrylser vehicles for many years and theyve all been great, so I have hope for this one. Update at two months and 3300 miles. MPG is up to 27 on road trips with the cruise control set at 75 and the AC cranking. Still averaging 21-22 puttering around suburbia. It seems the AC could be a little more powerful - my only complaint. Still loving my JGC!

Jeep, everything you want in an suv. - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Jeep4me - May 13 - 10:00 amI just picked up my new jeep about a month ago, paid a little under 400 a month for the lease, and i must say i am extremely satisfied with this car. Though i know it will chug a lot of gas, i truly enjoy the drive of this car and the seats are the most comfortable seats i have ever had the pleasure to sit in.

Solved the Brake Problem - 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By JHL - May 12 - 6:00 pmAfter having this vehicle to the dealer for warped rotors at least 3 times and to other mechanics twice thereafter, I bought a custom set of drilled and slotted rotors at 60k miles, now I have 130k miles on it and have not had a problem. Daimler Chrysler was "no" help at all and refused to acknowledge that they have a problem with these rotors. I traded a 1995 GMC Jimmy which was total junk for this and it has turned out to be better junk thats more comfortable. Ive owned this vehicle since new, I do not intend to ever buy another car by Daimler Chrysler.

reliable - 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Perian Dunmire - May 12 - 4:46 pmI bought it from a private owner. It has approximately 130,000 miles. Drives well. It does not have very good mpg. As it is a v8. I have put brakes on it and new a. C. I feel it is a reliable vehicle, but with the unsure gas prices, it is scary.

Proper Utility Vehicle - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By AufMitterSpiel - May 12 - 7:16 amIt seems that there are allot of people out there that love to hate this Jeep, but I must say that it has thoroughly impressed me. I have taken it across the entire north western half of the country and back in the dead of winter and couldnt have felt more confident traveling in this vehicle. With the Quadra-Drive AWD system, 4.7 V8, and heated seats its almost too easy! 20 MPG overall doesnt hurt, either. Handling/roadholding has also impressed me versus the Land Cruiser and older Range Rover SUVs that I have driven in the past. Reliability has been great thus far, with an easy to work on underhood layout.

Good so far - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Satisfied - May 11 - 2:30 amTraded my mustang GT in on a 2007 Patriot Limited, many regrets there. Traded the Patriot in on a used 2006 Laredo and I love the ride and styling of this vehicle. I keep praying for snow! I have had it just over a month and the lights in the temperature control went out-thank god for the certified warranty or else Id have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. I can only hope all repairs arent as costly as that would have been.

best yet - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Colorado Jeeper - May 9 - 12:33 am2nd owner of this jewel, and it has been better than expected. My second Jeep, and would hate to do without one now. Rock solid on every kind of road (or lack thereof), fantastic in snow, great on rocky roads. 15-20 mpg and plenty of power from the V8 when you need to kick it. Very low maintenance. Hope that gas prices dont make them disappear completely, because Colorado winters and mountain roads need that kind of solid, dependable 4WD vehicle for the sake of safety (fun is nice, too!).
