2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve V8: The Best Luxury SUV For Under $100,000

[@James-xg5rh]

If those brown leather seats were darker that would be an awesome trim. Looks almost orange instead. Think I’d go with the black seats with the brown stitching.

[@lordapophis7438]

Don't let anyone fool you about V8 Hemi bring scarce. Somewhere between Michigan and Ohio there's a warehouse full of them.

[@meredithbeard321]

I have this Grand Cherokee same motor and options but in a 2 row so no 3rd row! Mine is actually same color and I love it!!

[@meredithbeard321]

I would love to know how many were built total and how many with 2 rows were built. I argued with someone that worked at Jeep in MI and he told me no way I had a 2 row with the Hemi lol

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

This will be my dream SUV! Nice job Ben.

[@abdulrahmanansari616]

To even utter the term under 100,000 dollars for a jeep suv is asinine

Yep fiat has made the most unreliable Jeeps ever

[@lament666]

ok

[@jimsteinway695]

They were unreliable before fiat got a hold of them. They’ve been getting the dreaded black circles from consumers reports for decades. But it was always in car and drivers recommended DONT buy list for 20 years

[@mohammeds9915]

It's prettt stupid that they discontinued the SRT and Trackhawk versions, especially when extreme SUV's are all the rage now, with most being price over a 100K over how much the Trackhawk was.

[@marcusturner5291]

I thought I heard 360 hp. Doesn't Ford have an Explorer with 400 hp

[@michaelakins8573]

Love it! And it looks to be worth every penny to me. I'll have one soon.

[@CrumResearch]

I'd like a 4xe Plug-in Hybrid, with Hemi V8 engine, huge gas tank and large capacity battery at least 38 kWh -- think big and powerful! Oh yeah, adjustable air suspension as well.

[@JamboneMan]

I think a 4xe L with a 6-cylider engine would be a terrific product, I ordered the 4xe back in early September, still waiting on the build to start, probably big supply issues, haven't heard any news yet about the L 4xe, I would have to bet it's coming soon....

[@CrumResearch]

@@JamboneMan Agreed, the 6-cylinder Pentastar engine is great!

[@donreinke5863]

Yeah......uh huh. You obviously dont realize how troublesome the Land/Range Rover and Lincoln Navigator air ride systems are and have been. Screw that hybrid crap.

[@CrumResearch]

@@donreinke5863 Our air suspension has been trouble-free for 5 years! Jeep has apparently done their engineering right and is going strong developing new PHEV technology. Smart work, not to say it is good for everyone. Lots of computer complexity, for sure.

[@Snapper314]

TOTALLY AGREE! I'd probably settle for the Pentastar V6 coupled with an electric engine hybrid system. But Jeep's decision to put a wimpy inline 4 cylinder engine in their first JGC hybrid is the PRIMARY reason I WON'T be trading in my V8 powered 2015 Overland for ANY 2023!

[@Getyourdoe]

I thought they phased out the V8, it's not an option on the jeep website 🤔

[@yamahaguy1732]

It is still an option with the Cherokee summit reserve L

[@AntonPetersen93]

That's weird. There is no option with 5.7 V8 on their website for this model

[@capecodvintagerevival6626]

I ordered mine with the 5.7, will be delivered in a couple weeks. Definitely see what your saying tho, a few months ago that Definitely was an option online, seems to be gone now, maybe only able to add at a dealership now.

[@matthewward7524]

Only with the 3 row now. Glad I got my 2 row ‘22 Overland with the 5.7 except for all the sensor issues. 🤞they are now resolved.

360HP for a V8 sounds weak. This Jeep looks very nice but I feel like the engine is to weak for how big and heavy this Jeep is.

Very very fast review!!! You should have made it a little slow so we can catch up on the words you saying ...

[@kelvins9823]

Hi Ben, can you tell me what size is the fuel tank please? Thanks

[@jackliu1677]

Hi, My 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee summit reserve fuel tank is 23.5 gallons.

[@matthewward7524]

Only has adaptive cruise control. You cannot turn it off.

[@donreinke5863]

Now lets see----where did I put my Fluke, wire cutters, and schematics? It WILL turn off.

[@chrisdowns8859]

We have been loving our 22 JGC Laredo. Got the tow and luxury package, and it's been great. My first Jeep and I am really digging it. Just wish I could trash the paddle shifters. Hate those.

[@tysongaspard9330]

Luxury prices without the luxury warranty, luxury dealership experience/customer service, and without the luxury build quality. I own one, and it’s not a luxury vehicle.

[@donreinke5863]

4 wheel drives are NOT for luxury.....they are for getting around in harsh conditions when the going gets tough.

[@edwinpagaoa4308]

Absolutely correct Sir!!!

[@keytothegate68]

This is crazy. This is for people who will pay 30K in options.

[@kingmitch3956]

I seen a video with the same vehicle but it had rear seats 10” TVs. Is that optional ?

[@yamahaguy1732]

Yeah that’s the rear entertainment package.

[@timecapsule5604]

I thought the 23 didnt have available v8

[@hatchcracker_tv]

The 2-row is the one with no V8, the GC L has one and it'll come back next year too

[@timecapsule5604]

@hatchcracker_tv yes the L has an 8 but they took away the 5.7 hemi fron the 2 row Grand Cherokee even if u get a Summit I hope they switch that for the years to come

[@barryhamilton3112]

What’s the MPG on the V8?

[@BeNice76]

Nice truck but the price is the BMW x7 neighborhood and for that reason for $100 more a month I have leased the X7. Jeep can't match the Ride and quality of the x7.

[@donreinke5863]

Uh huh...just wait until all those plastic BMW cooling system parts start breaking and leaking. 4 wheel drives should NOT be smooth riding, if they are compromises have been made.

[@juliusbrewster]

80k for a Jeep Cherokee?!?! For that price I can get a Lexus, Audi, Mercedes or BMW SUV!

[@jakes5530]

Id take an X5 over this, but this is super nice. If I HAD to have an American brand suv, this would be my top choice. X5 is made in South Carolina though... not sure if that counts as American...

[@lament666]

lol

[@brandib1023]

I had a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee summit, then got a 2020 BMW X5 M, my lease for the BMW is up in 5 months and I CANNOT wait to get rid of it!! It is so small compared to a jeep, it has dozens of little things that annoy me about the overall design, because of the rims and tires, any little bump in the road is going to give you a flat, even with run flats and the back seat is so small, especially with a car seat in it. I was considering an X7 after this but I think the new Jeep Grand Cherokee will be the one 🙌🏽

[@2011candyapple]

@@brandib1023 I agree. I had a Grand cherokee 1st then I bought an x5 big mistake. BMW is the worst, I wanted to drive mine off a bridge, I hated that SUV so much. Happy am not the only one lol

[@donaldknott1599]

Can't stand the x5 ride that's why 8 took it back. People can say all they want about American vehicles and I agree for the most part except when we are talking about American muscle cars and trucks.... we shine in those categories every time when we produce muscle

You could call it what is! A JGC L you would have saved me my time watching a vid of nothing I want!!! Tell Jeep the 2 row needs a replacement for the lost V8...

[@AK-rx6hv]

For same price get a fully loaded MDX instead

[@giovanniralejo9017]

V8?

[@highoctaneadventure]

Yah but then you’d be paying a lot for a nice Honda instead. They are both pretty reliable and nice (not talking about Jeep models outside the Jeep Grand Cherokee for reliability).

[@natesweeney9767]

Nobody mentioned that car was so outta gas and you still drove it 😂

How did you get the V8? I don't see it as an option.

[@Timpala44]

[@jsardone]

@@Timpala44 I ended up finding one. This thing has a ton of problems. You’d think their systems would have gone through some better QA but yeah. It’s a lemon almost. At least electronically and semi-mechanically.

[@Timpala44]

@@jsardone We went out and test drove a Grand Cherokee 6 cylinder yesterday. It seemed nice. But, I hear way too many stories like yours about the lack of reliability. Our other option is the Lincoln Aviator. Our vehicle has to be UAW union built since it will be a company car.

Nice but for about half the price why wouldn’t you buy the Hyundai Palisade and you get just as nice a vehicle? Don’t believe the massage seat, extra passenger display, and mid seat center console is worth the extra $40-50k over the Hyundai Palisade.

[@nicholasy2715]

Hyundai Palisade is lower HP

[@highoctaneadventure]

The Telluride and Palisade aren’t as nice as this particular trim and aren’t off-road capable in the same way. I think an entry trim like the Laredo and Limited would be closer to Hyundai/Kia in design and price.

[@kgindy81]

Can you get the rear entertainment package on the L?

[@BenHardyCars]

Yes

[@SuperRichyrich11]

$80k for THAT? Totally not worth it, especially if it doesn’t have an actual lane-keep assist and blinker camera. $60k tops is what it’s worth

Jeep is not a luxury brand and never will be. They can keep hiking their price but i m not falling for that. My last jeep was a 2014 grand cherokee overland. Worst part is here in the US you can get a Korean brand suvs offering similar luxury for alot less money with more space and better warranty.
