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.

  Major transmission defect - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By pugluv - October 5 - 10:46 am

  About 6 months into ownership the transmission completely failed. After several weeks of trying to get information about what the problem was, not to mention a big hassle about getting a loaner, we were suddenly called and told the car was ready. Im sure I was in denial for a long time about what was going on with the car, but the transmission was still not right and I didnt feel safe. And in the meantime I was receiving recalls and being told the dealership didnt have the parts to fix, if I was even able to get someone on the phone. The service departments in both my local dealerships just suck! Ill never buy another Chrysler product again!

  Practial ride, so-so gas mileage - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By GP - October 1 - 9:30 am

  Bought the car in October 2008 with 42K miles when my first kid came. Its the 6cyl 3.7L so its not the fastest thing on the road but it gets the job done. 13 months later it now has 58K miles on it. Only trips to the dealer have been for oil changes every 3-4K. Gas mileage is not that great 15-17mpg city average, around 22mpg highway average. Lots of room in the trunk to haul things. Interior is pretty simple but rugged which I like because its easy to maintain.

  BUY THIS TRUCK - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By KTurner - September 28 - 10:00 am

  We paid the extra $$ for the V8 and the 10 disk changer, and it is well worth it. We have really noticed the difference on our way up the mountains outside of Denver.

  Improved on Perfection - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By zimzub - September 27 - 11:36 pm

  Time and time again after my first Jeep all roads have led back to Jeep. Having had a 2011 overland I now tested a Audi Q5, Lexus Rx350, BMW X3, Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, all competitors and for what I need hands down again no comparison I purchased Jeep again. I was actually wishing I found something I enjoyed driving more as I like variety but nothing met my needs like the Jeep. A true multi purpose strong unstoppable comfortable luxurious vehicle.

  Jeep SRT8 Incredible Performance! - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Brett - September 26 - 3:13 pm

  I purchased a 2007 Grande Cherokee SRT- 8 two weeks ago and havent stopped grinning since. The engine note and power is incredible. The seats are really comfortable and really hold you in place. The exterior styling is just right. I also have a BMW X5 4.8is and havent started it since I bought my Jeep Grande Cherokee SRT-8. This vehicle is a screaming bargain.

  Would Not Start - 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Michael - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Purchased 1 week ago but is in shop today. Wont turn over; dead - nothing. All dash lights and power windows worked. Dealer has not found the problem. My waiting continues. Jeep has only 31,700 miles! I have and have had other Jeeps. Not sure about this one.

  Runs GREAT - Gas HOG! - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Tony L - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Beautiful truck! Fun to drive - but terrible on gas mileage. CD player needs to be moved to the front of the vehicle. Not a good place in the back. Also - bad quality CD player...makes CDs skip often - when no scratches on cds.
