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.

  Cherokee is good - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Me - August 5 - 9:23 pm

  This was my first Jeep purchase, I had previously been driving a sporty 2dr pontiac. I have been extremely pleased with the vehicle. It covers all dimensions of what you would want. It still is a "prestigious" vehicle to drive and show off, the off road capabilities are excellent (which is very useful in snow/rain situations, it has enough cargo space to haul a number of different kinds of large items, and the handling at high or low speeds is not that much different than my previous sporty CAR. I commute a total of 40 miles each day, sometimes i take the highway, sometimes regular roads. It performs great on either, and my average MPG on the gauge has been steady at 17.1 - not too bad.

  Best car I have ever owned but... - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By billybatts - August 4 - 2:51 am

  Looks sharp, rides like a dream, interior/exterior are fantastic. I have received compliments from people in parking lots who had Jeep GCs in the early 2000s/90s tell me that the new design will bring them back.

  My Jeep Grand Cherokee Experience - 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jose Ortin - August 3 - 2:00 am

  Nice exterior and Interior designs. Currently with a very competitive price. Poor reliability; after 30.000 it has been necessary to go to service several times to repair brakes, steering wheel (column) and other features repeatedly. Poor brakes.

  Very reliable and sturdy vehicle. Have had good luck with this SUV and this is my second one. Great price and plenty of HP for towing. Great vehicle for this New England weather. Have been a proud owner since 2000 and would buy another in about 3 more years.

  Solid feel - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Charles R. Drake - August 1 - 11:06 pm

  Ive owned several Jeeps, Every vehicle has been reliable & I particularly like the "secure" feeling of knowing that when the 4X4 stick is engaged, a whole different vehicle emerges. Not like other 4 wheel SUVs, this has a "solid feel."

  Not the Grand Cherokee of old - 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By G Laich - August 1 - 4:18 pm

  Ive had this Jeep for 6 years now and I am generally pleased but it falls short of an A. My complaints may not be applicable to everyone since I"m 64". The driver seat is not comfortable. Leather is stiff and the upper part of the seat hits my back wrong. Also, poor lumbar support. My next issue is visibility. Rear view mirror is too low due to the convenience console on the ceiling (garage door opener/Sun glass holder). Rear window wiper assembly is huge and obscures vision. The only mechanical issue I had was failing air conditioning (twice).

  Just Sad - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Trabear - July 29 - 10:00 am

  Bought new in 2000 and nothing but trouble. $1100 in breaks, 2 broken doorlocks=$300 and now broken front leather seat. I really thought I bought a good quality car but got just a piece of junk. Chrysler has been no help and I suggest a class action lawsuit for the breaks.
