Practical, stylish and fun to drive

This vehicle is the best combination of utility, performance, luxury and value that I could find. It holds its resale value very well and it commands respect wherever we go.

Cherokee

Jeep is always reliable and worth the money. Their resale value alone makes it worth a little extra compared to the other brands. I love it.

Great diesel tow vehicle - that isn’t a pickup

I was looking for a tow vehicle but didn’t want a huge pickup. This diesel Grand Cherokee is rated to tow over 7000#. It is very comfortable and has tons of features. I particularly like the adaptive cruise control. It handles well for a SUV and looks sharp in the High Altitude trim. It gets great gas mileage and has tons of power. The only other choices are German (Audi, VW, Mercedes, etc.) or English (Land Rover), and they are much more expensive to buy and maintain.

Love all the features! Great power.

I have the overland edition with the V8 engine. It’s so great! It tows my boat without any problem, it’s like it’s not even there! Love all the interior features like the panoramic sunroof and the air life suspension is great. It also goes really fast really quick! It will be really great for our long snowy winters with the 4 wheel drive.

Love this SRT

The most fun car I have ever owned. The engine is its biggest attraction. 6.4 L naturally aspirated. You can hear it breathe and has lightning-quick response. (Sounds better than the 6.2 L with supercharger of the Trackhawk version in my opinion). It has 3 lives: very soft with hardly touching the throttle until 2200 rpm. A mid band up to 4000 rpm with plenty of torque - good for overtaking etc. Above 4000 rpm pedal to the floor: raw and loud beasty mode. Handling es excellent. Had a BMW X5 (4.8 L) in the past as well. The Jeep SRT is much more fun, as practical as the BMW, but more reliable and cheaper to maintain. Improvements to the Jeep grand Cherokee SRT? Could do with a front camera to help with low parking ridges. Mirrors should fold automatically, not on a pushbutton. Most of all however: Jeep should not put the Pirelli run flats on as standard fit: strong tires, but very noisy and not particularly grippy in the corners. I hear other owners say Yokohamas (Parada Spec X) and Hankook (Ventus ST-RH-06) , both non run-flats, are better. Overall a car that is very easy to live with in daily life, with some fun added by the fantastic engine and drivetrain.

Love this car. Out third Grand Cherokee

We love this car. Rides well, minimal maintenance. It looks great inside and out and is very comfortable. We bought our first one in 1993, our second one in 2000, and this one in 2016.

Great Mid Size SUV

Bought new. 1st Diesel ever. 60K miles. 28 city/34 Hwy at 60 mph. Overland. 1 warranty item, a leaky drive shaft seal. Comfortable for tall guy. Pricey. Great vision. Safe. Would highly recommend. Can seat 4 comfortably. So delighted with the EcoDiesel we bought another in Ram Laramie. My wife drives this car 99% of the time. She loves it. I drive the Ram 100% of the time. Have bought 41 new vehicles in my life. 10 SUVs. This is the best one. A good blend of size and space, utility, fuel economy, safety, and ease of operations. White color, black leather, moon roof, hard loaded, fancy sound system.
