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.

  Unreliable - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By George - November 26 - 10:00 am

  I bought the 2004 GC Overland in 2006 with 27,000. I have had nothing but issues with this unit. Brake rotors (at 27k), all 4 window motors, seat heaters, ac had to be replaced, seat motors, the roof was rusting, power steering pump.. the list goes on..you name it. I loved the vehicle when I purchased it but let me warn you, these are a maintenance nightmare. Avoid Jeep, I have spent over 5k in repairs over the years (most happened right after the 36k warranty expired.) I gladly traded this nightmare in for a Toyota, my first foreign car. (I previously bought from the big three however cant risk or afford another situation like this.) To hell with Jeep and Chrysler!

  By Dan H - November 26 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned Jeep all my life and this new overland is awesome. Drives perfect looks amazing. We found a white v6 overland, last one within 500 miles of us. The jeep is just jaw dropping.

  Trouble Free Fun - 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Coffaqcof - November 25 - 1:40 am

  Ive driven cross country twice, its my daily driver, trail rig, and family mover. My Jeep has done everything Ive asked of it without a single maintenance issue to date. Ive ridden trails from IL, OK, TX, NM, AZ, CO & UT, and the QDII system is hands down the best 4WD system available on the market. Front, rear, center ELSDs provide a sure-footedness I never experienced in my other 4X4s. The luxury is top shelf. Every gizmo I could want, MyGig, HIDs, 4 seat warmers, nav system. All work together to provide an incredible driving experience. And it always looks sharp, aggressive, and ready to go.

  Best SUV for the money - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By jeepdude - November 24 - 7:13 pm

  I went back and forth, and finally decided on the Jeep. No problems so far, except I think the transmission needs a little work ... seems to jump around 40mph and 60mph. Other than that the only problem I had was a rattling sound that I think is coming from the emergency brake hitting the console. Overall I really love my Jeep and everyone that has seen it has like it as well. Good SUV for the city!

  Maybe Im Lucky - 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By alanbala - November 23 - 7:28 am

  I bought 2014 GC Limited 4x4 in October, and have just under 3,000 miles on it. It works fine. No trips to dealer about anything. Ive read all the negative reviews, and Im sure if there were problems, theyd have shown up already, so I guess Im lucky. Only complaint is no CD player, except at optional outrageous cost. Knew that when I bought it, so having no CD player wasnt a deal breaker. The GC really paid off in December and January with this crazy, snowy weather. One idiosyncrasy--when I clean touchscreen (and vehicle is completely "Off"), temp. resets to "Low" setting. Must be residual electric charge in screen even when "Off".

  You get what you pay for. - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Amazed - November 22 - 3:23 pm

  I am amazed at reading comments that say there are blind spots, or cheap plastic trim, or low windshields or uncomfortable seats etc etc. Youd think none of these owners, ever test drove their vehicles before buying them. If youre fat or short or tall, a Jeep is never the right purchase - simply not enough adjustibility. Its made for the average buyer at an average price and has average reliability, fuel economy and comfort. Some seem to think that buying a US car means something more than mediocrity. It doesnt. So either buy a decent car at a decent price, or wake up about what a Jeep is all about.

  It just keeps going - 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mr.Jeep - November 22 - 2:00 am

  We bought our Gr. Cherokee brand new and have loved it until today. The V-8 engine is great and is needed on the car. The heated seats are also a great feature.Now after 7 years we have 98000 miles on the Jeep and it still runs great.

  Wisconsin experience - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Burley - November 22 - 2:00 am

  Headrests too low; access to windshield wiper/washer controls and access to headlight controls a little constricted and difficult to see selections through the steering wheel. Comfortable front seating, handles well,is sufficiently responsive, interior appointments well done. Information center upgrades over previous years a nice feature.
