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.

  By Charles hooper - March 14 - 6:43 pm

  Blew out a tire on a road hazard a thousand miles from home. The full size spare turned out to be a cheep Korean tire that viberated so badly I lost a day replacing the distroyed tire. Chrysler customer service told me the spair was for emergency service only. Jeep will be my last chrisler product

  Only in a Jeep - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By luke - March 13 - 12:43 pm

  Bought mine private party back in 2002 with 99,600 miles on it. I just hit 136k. With the exception of things I consider basic maintenance (fluid changes, new tires, new shocks), Ive had next to nothing go wrong with my Jeep. Its fun to drive in bad weather, and has yet to let me down. For a 10 year old Jeep, she does what is expected, gets me where I need to go no matter what the weather. As for fuel economy, its an SUV that is 10+ years old, I accept that.

  Glad I got it - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By vince - March 11 - 3:13 pm

  Wanted the Hemi after having 2 other JGC (last was a 94). We drive 250 mi to WV from DC every month and my wife wont take her FX35 anymore because of the comfortable ride and Sat radio. Really like the accel on US81 and gas isnt too bad on cruise. Really like the remote start, Sirius, auto dim, blue tooth and pedal adjust. Hard to use the backup camera as it is offset to the left of center. FX has lines on- screen to guide into parking. Great interior improvement over previous JGC. Very little tire noise at speed.

  Chrysler Engineers take notice - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jeeepie - March 11 - 10:00 am

  Ok this is a fine car to own. It looks like a million bucks on the outside, Has excellent driver ergodynamics, and room to transport anything or pull anything within reason. But somewhere chrysler fell short when it came to maintenance. Come on guys you should not have to drill a hole in the frame of the 5.2L vehicle to unclog the a/c drain. Poor bearing life on front differential case

  Explosive - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Gene - March 9 - 6:06 pm

  Your mind cant seem to comprehend that something so heavy (4800 lbs) can explode with such force at the touch of the gas! Amazing power and handles like a sports car. Very user friendly interior. I would give comfort a 10 however the contour of the seats are a little narrow on your upper legs when you sit. Only reason I give fuel economy so high at a 5 is what do you expect from a 400+ horsepower beast? Performance is at par with my Subaru STI. Only vehicle on market that is all-wheel drive with 8 cylinders besides Audi! From reviews etc I do hear reliability is avg at best so take extended warranty. High 4s 0-60 is believable and mid to low 13s is too.

  Love My Car - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Starvada - March 7 - 10:00 am

  I bought my (first) Jeep about six months ago. I put on a new set of tires and replaced practically every belt on board - they were all dry rotted from sitting idle in the desert southwest. I agree that the breaks need some help, and the alarm is a nuisance. With present gas prices the 15-19 mpg range gets expensive quickly. I drove 3700 mi over 3 weeks this winter without so much as a hiccup, so Im quite pleased.

  JEEP?? or CHEEP?? - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By AJS2 - March 7 - 10:00 am

  I dont usually buy Domestic, and now I know why... While generally reliable, the gas mileage is poor,I am now inundated with repairs,9 At 105,000..and the fit out and comfort is not nearly as nice as the competitors at Toyota,or Nissan. IF I had to o it over again, the extra 5k for the Import is well worth it.

  Not too bad - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Sledsoul - March 7 - 2:00 am

  I had a 96 and thought I would get another.Replaced waterpump, sway barlinks replaced 3 times and front end still clunks. It has great power 5.2 litre. I am thinking of getting rid of it with 74000 miles. I had electrical go out a few times also. An thinking of an expedition or tahoe. Need something larger.

  not reliable - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Chuck - March 7 - 1:03 am

  Most disappointing was the reliability. Five or six times in the last year the vehicle has not cranked and the shop was not able to locate the problem. Last week the passenger window stuck in the down position and cost $500 to repair. For a vehicle less than four years is this is not acceptable. I will be looking at a different make in the future.

  great car! - 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By love jeeps - March 6 - 5:03 pm

  I bought this jeep new and it was the third Grand Cherokee Ive bought. This one has been the best of the three (not that I had much trouble with the first two). No major mechanical problems. Gas mileage in the city is 17 and on the highway 21-23. Goes great in the snow. Original tires (goodyear) were terrible, only lasted 23000 miles just like on the first 2 jeeps I had. but the tires I have bought since all lasted the warranty amount(various brands). Great SUV!
