2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Which One to Buy?

[@Dawkins921]

coming from an Audi, got tired of their overpriced everything to maintain it, ending up with a Overland with the tech pack and luxury pack, absolutely loaded with the heads up display, massage seats, McIntosh sound, 360 cameras, ambient lightning, very nice truck. To get all this in a Audi your looking at well over 100k.

[@jamesmyers9285]

Plus the nightmare that comes with Audi, once was enough! I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit, but I opted for the 3.6L V6. I don't like the sounds 4 cylinder engines make.

[@Dawkins921]

@@jamesmyers9285 I agree the 4 cylinder is not enough for that frame, I also got the 3.6 and it’s plenty for day to day driving. The Audi ended up needing an engine rebuild at 80k even with perfect oil change records.

@@ErnestoCruzBey I wasn’t that fortunate I guess, did love the Audi while I had it.

This is so crazy I have an Audi a6 with 73k miles and been having problem after problem lately I might just make that jump to Cherokee 😊

[@rebuked]

My first GC was a Limited with the Hemi, and I traded it on for the Overland with the V6. I regretted it, I much prefer the Limited. I really didn’t like the air suspension. I lived in NYC and didn’t really need to raise the vehicle up or drop it. It was good when my wife was pregnant and I was able to lower the car to help her in and out, but aside from that, all the extra features were overkill. The luxury is nice but I’m really a simplest. I just wanted something to get me through NYC snow. Maybe I hated it because I didn’t have the V8 engine that I had in the Limited. Even when I bought the Overland, the salesperson told me that unless I’m driving over wood logs or whatever, I don’t need the air suspension. Overall, the Limited is what I need.

[@treydrier3169]

I think before you decide which version is the best, you really need to look at how you plan on using it. Yes the Trailhawk is nice but only if you plan on taking it off road. I don't plan on using it that way. I want luxury but also it has to be good in the snow for up North and tropical storms for down South. The Summit is perfect for my needs with the QuadraDrive ll, MacIntosh stereo, night vision, semi-autonomous driving, passenger side hi res display, beautiful and comfortable interior with massage seats along with 4 zone climate control and ventilated and cooling front seats. Its a great ride and perfect for my needs. One thing I will disagree on with Autotrader is the 4xe hybrid motor. You will need to spend around $2,000 for installation and hardware for a fast charger in your garage. Plus its a weak electric motor that only gets 25 miles on a charge. Thus you will likely always have it in hybrid mode until the battery is depleted and then you're stuck with a 2L four cylinder motor. No thanks. I will wait for version 2.

[@kevinx9225]

I normally drive a Ram 1500. Recent trips saw me rent a Grand Cherokee Limited and a Volvo S60. Both roughly the same price for the sake of argument. I was impressed by the Volvo because I don't drive a car that much, but I put 1700 miles on the Jeep in 4 days. I really liked it. The leather seats got a little uncomfortable at times but I was doing 5-6hr stretches at a time. The fuel was showing upto 23mpg (don't know how accurate) which is much better than my Ram. Both the autos I recently rented were AWD or 4wd. If I were in the market, I would really consider the Jeep.

[@mannyamador7430]

Brought a 2024 limited l, tech2 package, dual sunroof, black out, loaded. Rather have Macintosh but not available. Alpine sounds fine. Priced reasonable. 7yr/70,000 chrysler warranty included. Very happy.

[@jimmyjam1710]

I got the 4xe trailhawk and couldnt be happier. I use it to commute to work and a tank lasts over a month

[@rogueleo6587]

Only because you plug in every day. How’s the long distance drive? From what I’ve read it’s all gas after 26 miles right?

[@rinohunter6190]

You don’t need a $70k Jeep for that just get a sedan dumba$$

[@JUSTDRIVE-0054]

I got an overland 4x4 with almost all extra packages, bcz i hate hybrid and loved that aggressive front look on overland. Summits are also good but not as aggressive as overland

[@love4gtsandguns]

I just bought one personally and after all the research and digging through options and factoring cost, I chose what I think is best all around for what I need. • 2row • Limited • 4x4 • blackout appearance package (Altitude package) / The only thing I didn't add which I should have in retrospect is the Lux II tech package. Great video!

[@ytwizzle]

I have kids and pick up their cousins so the Limited L with Blackout package works for me. That luxury II package would have been nice but factoring what came with mine I can't complain.

[@love4gtsandguns]

​@@ytwizzle I understand that and can't agree more. The Limited is already optioned pretty well.

[@sl5932]

that would be my choice, I would not spring for the tech package. Midnight blue sky w/black leather.

[@zachpainter4949]

I just got a limited luxII and thought it was the best bang for buck

[@sl5932]

Awesome, what color? How do you like the blackout? How is it driving?

[@MercOne]

All I want to know is when are they going to put the I6 in here?

[@thinkfreely6045]

Got The 2022 Overland L. I Love It. That Muscular Body Look With The Air Suspension Is Something Different. The Tech Is Awesome & The McIntosh System Is Perfect. The Massage Seats And Auto Drive Just Makes It Even Better. Panoramic & 3rd Row Is Perfect For My Little Ones.

[@NileshR12]

I love the Capri Beige on the Limited trim, I prefer the exterior of the Overland with the painted wheel arches & panels, but I hate that the Overland only comes with an all black interior. I wish they would at least let you get the beige or the Steel Gray they used to offer on 2022-early 2023 Overland models. I love the Tupelo interior color which is limited to the Summit & Summit Reserve trims, so I wish the Overland trim offered that without the diamond quilting if necessary (even though I like that too). Not everyone wants an all black interior. The only consolation is the contrasting color wood trim & multicolor ambient lighting which brightens up the interior

[@choobplaya]

I just picked up a V8 summit reserve L, and I love it

[@kunalaneja2901]

Amazing car..what a comfortable drive it is..spacious and good control in high speeds as well..!

[@Hollyrock712]

I have the Summit Reserve fully loaded with hemi

[@sl5932]

Quite an SUV!!!!!

[@robyork9554]

No Hemi in 2024. 😞

[@Qugie]

The Trail Hawk also has a disconnecting Sway bar can't leave that part out.

[@jamesdurkin6191]

Although I currently own a 2020 Acura MDX, I have had two Grand Cherokee Ltd. with outstanding luck (with careful preventative maintenance) and only minor warranty work. Maybe I just got lucky, but I really enjoyed both vehicles.

[@williamdrijver4141]

Simplest base model with RWD and a good warranty might be a good deal.

[@shamelessnjc]

While that sounds good, remember 2WD Jeeps have horrendous resale value because almost no one wants them.

[@marcoantoniocasoascanio6905]

I still love my old Jeep Grand cherokee limited Wk V8 4.7 with Quadra Drive II system.

[@rinohunter6190]

Don’t you mean 5.7 liter?

[@67daltonknox]

Which GC? Uh none. Consumer Reports rates Chrysler as the least reliable mass produced cars sold in the US and Jeep as their least reliable division.

[@markrichard2349]

There out of their mind with those prices!!!! I love my 2014 Dodge Journey with no issues over last i years and wanted to stay with Dodge, I’ll go to Toyota. Enough said.

[@sgf7647]

I'll be cheap and stay with the Altitude 😅 Trailhawk sounds amazing though!!

[@rxonmymind8362]

They need to make a "Burro" version. 🎉

[@lukaszrutkowski914]

The nicest is V8 and it is not gone !!!

[@love4gtsandguns]

V8 is always great fun and sounds good! V6 is better fuel economy and plenty power for daily and travel. I do wish the V6 was either turbo or supercharged or just tuned for a bit more power around 325 hp 300 lb ft.

[@KingARob_]

Why are the headlights reflectors?

[@NileshR12]

Yeah they would be projectors but maybe it's something they're saving for the refresh or it's a parts shortage bc they use that for Wagoneers & Grand Wagoneers

[@skylane1829]

Night Vision?

[@tamborafina]

Refresh the outside and I probably will buy one.

[@robyork9554]

Nobody cares

[@Miami543210]

Well…. Obviously, The best is always the most expensive. But not the smartest. You can spend nearly $80,000 on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. But it is still a Grand Cherokee. And is almost identical to an Altitude. And even a Laredo. Same body. Same headlights and taillights. Want an $80,000 luxury SUV? Go To A Lux SUV manufacturer. Like Lexus. Or BMW. Or Mercedes. So Your $80,000 vehicle looks like an $80,000 SUV . And not a $45,000 SUV.

[@davidmilner8778]

There are meaningful differences in the trim levels both exterior and interior. It's all preference at the end of the day. Jeep ahas It's own cache. Established luxury brands generally speak to a different audience. The latest GCs are a nice mix of luxury and rugged with the off-road bones to match. Plus, it's still considered an American brand.

[@rxonmymind8362]

True. $80k on a Land cruiser is a win.

[@davidmilner8778]

My Grand Cherokee looks like the $70k plus I spent for it. I love it and did not prefer a Japanese, Korean or German brand. The trims matter, and you can see the difference. It's an American brand and worth every penny. A person's vehicle is a personal choice and should fit them. Luxury brands are not a fit for everyone who can afford them. Jeeps provide a nice mix of rugged and luxury. Certainly a premium American brand. I understand the point that you are making, but it assumes that a person would naturally prefer a luxury brand for the same money.

The 4xe is by far the best drivetrain. Get the overland. Most comfortable ride ever love mine.

[@JeepisJunk]

Garbage, pure Trash. I own a Grand Garbage. It is worthless. Over $14K in repairs in the last 3 years now. Check engine light glowing bright. Dealership siad, give us your Jeep, we will not give you anything for it due to check engine ligjt. Then you can give us $ 20K down......and we will sell you a $90K plus Cherokee that will be better, we promise. However, they say after 6 years you will need another new Grand Garbage as they will not last longer than that anymore. 2011 to 2024 will not make it 6 years without huge bills for repair. Just Expect Every Problem. That spells JEEP

[@jimmyjam1710]

That's rough. I have owned 4 new grand cherokees since 2008 and have never had a single issue

[@_Jolyn]

Weird. Between hubs and I we have had 5 jeeps over last 25 years and not a single issue. Two of which had over 150k miles when sold. One of which was sold to an acquaintance and is still going and a 2008. My mother has also owned 3 or 4 and drives until they reach 200k. I think it comes down to how you treat your vehicle. Proper maintenance goes a long way regardless of brand.

[@ejohnson3837]

all manufactors have lemons, you just happened to get one. friend of mine got 2 from cheverolet, a 13 silverado diesel then a 17. both got lemon lawed.

[@tomwujek4867]

@@jimmyjam1710 I bought my 2012 Grand Cherokee brand new at the time and same here- no issues. Now with over 177K miles on the 3.6L V6, it still runs great. Proper maintenance goes a long way. I also found that PennGrade oil is great stuff and holds up really well.

[@Madeupfakerobot]

Too much money for a jeep

[@jeffkepus2492]

These propaganda Jeep, KZbin videos are really starting to sicken me. Jeep is not designed to last over 100,000 miles or 10 years. They have a parade of different problems that will occur once the car starts getting up in the 70,000 mile range. The UConnect System is a known joke. It is littered with connection problems and the screens going completely blank. Engine mounts, heated seats, bearings, radiators, thermostats, water pumps, shocks, AC compressors, heating coils, air/heat diverter box, rear wiper motor, delaminating of faux wood paneling, fogging of inside headlights and warping of top leather panels are infamous. Jeep is a money sucking pit once the warranty expires. I know because I have owned 3 of them. All the same. Apparently I am a glutton for punishment? And before you ask, I follow the maintenance religiously and keep it looking, showroom quality.
