Model Overview:

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.

  • Engine shot? - 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    As one of the few I can say that brakes have not been my major complaint. Up until a few months ago I had no complaints at all. Sadly it now appears that at 47K I need a major engine overhaul. The coolant level warning light comes on once a month. Entire system has been inspected by dealer and no external leaks have been found. Leaving one possibility.

  • great SUV; AC concern - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This GC (2011)s only 8 weeks old, Very fun to drive and very comfortable. Already have 10k miles. Have had Chryslers x5 in the past and made the switch to Jeep. The exterior is amazing, great design and great color. Only one concern, travel alot and have a problem with the AC. Blows high when on low and vice versa without adjusting the settings. Also, on a 19 hr trip, AC stopped for over 5 hrs!! Has been in shop x4---mechanics cannot find problem, Anyone having these problems too? Or solutions?

    I have had this vehicle for four years. It does a nice job and is generally reliable. But it seems to wear or at least show wear quickly. Rear end went out at 100K miles.

  • 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4X4 EcoDiesel - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This Review is for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4X4 EcoDiesel (EDMUNDS Please Add This Engine Choice)Additional features on this already highly capable SUV include the Advanced Technology Package. Despite being a Jeep family and a GC fan, I did a substantial amount of research before purchasing this $50K SUV given the amount of recalls on Chrysler products recently. I looked at BMW, Porsche, and Land Rover but could not find an SUV that even came close for the $50K price point anywhere close to new (or even slightly used). It is important to note this configuration with the Diesel engine literally has almost every feature and is more than enough SUV for most people.

  • All Time Favorite Mid-Size SUV - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The best mid-size SUV hands down. Ive put a lot of miles on a 2014 Grand Cherokee and the 2016 is much improved. The power steering doesnt make that whirring noise (yet!), the shifter is SO much better than the previous electronic version, its buttery smooth now. My only criticisms of the Grand Cherokee so far: The auto start/stop is not for everyone, there should be a way to disable it by default and not have to press the button on each start up. Its actually kind of safety hazard, I find myself making more rolling "California" stops so that I can avoid it from turning the engine off. No Apple CarPlay support, would love to see this supported on all Uconnect versions. They got rid of the dual exhaust, not a big deal but might be for some. They moved the backseat hand handles from the top roof to the front sides, not sure this was a great move seeing as the Grand Cherokee is more of a luxury SUV than off-road where you might need the forward handles.

  • Grand Cherokee still a workhorse - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Updated review: Still love my 03 JGC, still going strong, have only had minor maintenance since the big expenses of knock sensors & axle replacement, etc. which I wrote about in my earlier review. It is a 2nd car for me, & have put on another 14k miles on it. The ck engine light came on again & will probably have to do O2 sensors & maybe cat(S) again. Interior is still comfortable, 1 seat had a wire poke through, speakers need R&Rd, no navi or Bluetooth originally, but with routine maintenance its still nice & roomy. Headlights need attention, maybe R&Rd. Paint is showing wear but a good detail job & its still looking good at 13 yrs. old.! Runs great, handles well. In retrospect the comparable value for money spent is good, reliability is good, American cars just dont hold their value for resale. Upgraded some features from earlier review.

  • ? - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Dont get me wrong, I absolutely adore my Jeep. I love how it drives, looks, and all the features. It has been my favorite car so far, BUT it has SO many problems!! The sunroof leaks, the dust cover around the shifter broke, windshield washer fluid squirter broke off, the button to open the back hatch glass broke, and it sounds like the transmission is having problems!! for only being 4 years old I had assumed i bought a lemon! Also it seems that there is hardly any room in the back seat.

  • Worthy 3 Years - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I leased my Grand Cherokee Ltd AWD in 2006 and I havent had any mechanical problems during my lease. The only thing I spent more than a few hundred bucks on was new tires, after 45k miles, so not bad at all. I drive 42 miles each way to work over mountains, country roads, highway and city driving and it handles great. Excellent in the snow as I live in the white Northeast. Crappy gas mileage - I average 17 combined MPG, have gotten 20 on HWY. It has an 18 gallon tank, which is smaller than other SUVs, but its a pain to fill up every 4 days. Great for hauling, powerful engine, great stereo, comfortable, sharp looking.

  • Great Vehicle - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is my 3rd Grand Cherokee. I have owned this vehicle for over one year, no problems at all. The only time it sees the service department is for the oil change and tire rotation. This has a great new look and all the comforts one could expect. I love, love it, get lots of compliments. I have the Hemi and as long as I do not gun the engine too often I get 17 mpg in town and about 19 mpg on the road, not bad for a car with so much power. If you like the Jeep, you will love this one.
