2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit - REVIEW and POV DRIVE - LUXURY For A LOT LESS!

[@treydrier3169]

UPDATE 1-15-23: I've been driving the Summit for about a month now. Its a great car. What's weird is how quiet it is. Its so quiet. Mine has the added super quiet option (I can't remember the name of the option but its specifically for extra noise dampening). You can't hear anything outside the car. I've had Mercedes and Lexus' but this is the quietest cabin I've experienced. The ride is super smooth. I had a 2019 Grand Cherokee Limited (which has been a very comfortable and reliable car) and this Summit blows it away. The 3.6L motor is also peppier than the 2019 Limited. Overall it is a spectacular car and a huge upgrade from the previous model. The only differences between the Summit and Summit Reserve are: 1.) 20" wheels on the Summit vs 21" wheels on the Reserve. 2.) The 950 watt MacIntosh stereo is included on the Reserve and an option on the Summit. 3.) Trailer Tow Package is standard equipment on the Summit but not available on the Reserve. 4.) Deluxe headliner is standard on the Reserve and not an option on the Summit. 5.) The Reserve uses Palermo leather seats where the Summit uses Napa leather seats. 6.) Front passenger interactive display is included on the Reserve and an option on the Summit. 7.) Ventilated rear seats are included on the Reserve and not available on the Summit. That's it. Not much of a difference. Save yourself $4,000 and go with the Summit. Add in the 950 watt MacIntosh stereo and the passenger side display if you really want it. Not sure why you need a "deluxe headliner" when they both have a panoramic sunroof that takes up virtually the entire headliner. To each his own I guess.

I just test drove a Summit today. I think this is my next car. I loved everything about the interior. Even has massage seats. I currently have an E class and I was pleasantly surprised how close this trim comes and even surpasses most luxury vehicles.

I know. It’s such a nice interior. And there is a trim level above this one which is pretty crazy to me

Stunning! Just took delivery of my 2023 GC Summit Reserve. I had to go three hundred miles from home to get this vehicle with the HEMI engine. I wanted a White one, but I wouldn't say I liked the Black Roof which is standard on the Summit models. Mine is Black just like the one shown in this video with a Tupelo interior which I want. I was given a reasonable discount and I am thrilled with the vehicle. It is so quiet, so luxurious, and well-built.

[@bayouboy8644]

I read the Hemi is only available in the long version ???

[@bettyrocker9399]

I have a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I came from a 20 year old Ford Explorer that was still working fine at 205,000 miles amazingly! I didn’t mean to keep it so long but couldn’t find my next SUV. I wanted a two row seated vehicle but with a V6 engine everyone has seemed to make their V6’s with 3 row seats. I loved that Jeep offered both versions. My options were Honda Passport (not fancy enough) or Lexus RX but not enough headroom for a dog kennel. The Jeep was gorgeous at first glance. I was very excited to get a new upgraded SUV with more bells and whistles that I’ve ever had. After a 3 month wait I received my vehicle. My interior was NOT put together! My speaker cover would not click in (until I had to have my windshield replaced at 6 months in). Dealership ordered new piece that never came. Then my fancy seats which I basically paid $15,000 more that the Limited just to have the fancy diamond stitching were not clipped together. The back carpet was not glued down. There’s still a piece of the interior under the driver seat that won’t stay in which is basically a piece of cardboard or felt. They have ordered me a new replacement piece. Still don’t have. I’m on my 3rd steering wheel at $1000 a pop ( which Jeep covered) because they use such cheap, thin leather over the heated coils. If I would’ve known they would all be like this I would’ve kept the original. I have gray interior which is no longer offered and now the steering wheel does not match my more charcoal dash. The last one was not stitched all the way and now my new one has loose stitching. I was so upset when I left the dealer 2 months ago I about had a stroke! My car was 2 years old on Memorial Day 2024. The dealership is worthless but it’s really not their fault it’s the lack of quality control from the manufacturer. I have tried getting in touch with corporate Jeep 5 times. They always cancel my request and tell me to work with dealership. I’ve asked if I should go to an auto body shop as the dealer mainly works on the engine NOT interior! The last person I spoke to gave me interior warranty but I purchased that from the dealer when I bought my car. The dealer will not let me speak to the owner. So far the engine works well and it drives great in the snow and ice in Minnesota. I would highly recommend not getting anything higher than the Limited. Just not worth it! Wish I would’ve gone with Lexus. It still makes me so angry I paid more for my Summit with this crappy finish. Such a joke! Jeep has no right selling “luxury” models with the poor quality they have.

[@703Speed]

Ugh, man that really sucks to hear. I'm sorry about all the issues you've had. I hope it gets better.. To your point, you can't beat Lexus reliability

[@45snakebite]

In the Infotainment menu, you will find remote start via the key fob option. Thumbs up.

[@michaelfelix5150]

The scroll knob on the left is for ambient lighting and the car has active noise cancellation thats why you can’t hear the horn too well

[@703Speed]

Thank u!

[@fiskefeber1347]

Yeah, really nice interior. 👌

[@davidparker5345]

I love my Grand Wagoneer. One problem that REALLY bugs me is I was surprised it is too big to fit in the 2 car garage as a second car. Just for a smaller car I am thinking of buying a Grand Cherokee. Watching this but wish someone would do a comparison between the two.

[@703Speed]

I might be able to put something like that together

[@davidparker5345]

from what I see online it has most of the same stuff which I love. What I really need to know is seat size and entrance. In otherwords. What I really need is to get my extra large and Ancient body out to a dealership. I don't twist and turn like I use to. LOL Thanks for the response

[@HAbill]

I couldn't give up using the garage. I was seriously considering the Grand Wagoneer but my garage height didn't accommodate it. I ended up going with the GCL.

[@freshtowels3917]

I like the GC. It is a stealth wealth vehicle. If you want a Range Rover but don't want the attentiont hat comes with it because lets say you don't want your collegaues to think your Mr. Moneybags then you can get a GC Summit and slip under the radar and not be talked about that water cooler in the office. I like to maintain a low profile so for the reason I like the Telluride and GC. Range Rover like luxury but without the status.

[@georgetown8986]

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland / Summit is a great SUV. I would not be concerned about reliability at all. the 3.6L V6 is a workhorse. However, Jeep overpriced them significantly. Sales have been very sluggish as a result. In this unknown and rapidly changing (for the worse) economy, this is not a good time to be introducing vehicles priced $20-25k higher than the outgoing models.

[@Bluejumpsuitrofficial]

This Jeep is my goal and I’m not as close to it as I’d like to be

[@703Speed]

You'll get there. It takes time

[@MrRoarkeFI]

At this price point, it should at least have projector LED headlights, not reflector.

[@703Speed]

Agreed

[@user-lk5bd8fg9f]

Please introduce two-row seats and V6 engine specifications to Japan!

[@charleshamilton9274]

I like it. A lot. And here in Colorado there are above 30 Jeep dealerships, handy if some something goes awry in say, Durango. And a full size spare! Still, that laughable rotor gear selector was a deal breaker. Every single time I got in the Grand Cherokee and had to put the car in gear, I would regret I ever bought it. 👎

[@703Speed]

Right on. Fair enough

[@user-HONDA9000]

It’s nice it really is but 47000-51000 seems about the right price

[@DieselEffect]

I narrowed my picks down to the Yukon Denali Ultimate, Aviator Black Label and this vehicle. You saying that the Yukon sound system is 10x better than the Aviator knocks the Aviator out for me. My question for you is, where does the McIntosh system land on that spectrum?

[@DieselEffect]

For more context, I currently drive a 2022 Silverado ZR2 and I find the sound system in it to be underwhelming lol. I’ve been a purely GM guy since my 2010 Camaro 2SS, 2016 Camaro 2SS, 2017 Sierra Denali, 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance and now the ZR2. I feel like the ZR2 sound system is the worst of all of the above vehicles.

[@703Speed]

The McIntosh is also really good, but u might want to add some dynamat to the door panels bc when turned all the way up (just like aviator) you get a little rattling. That’s why the Denali’s system is so good because you can turn it all the way up and get no distortion, it’s loud, and there are no rattles. But your also paying $35k more for the Denali Ultimate as well

[@DieselEffect]

Yeah the ZR2 has a bit of a rattle from the knee plates on the console when turned all the way up.

[@703Speed]

@@DieselEffect Does the ZR2 have the Bose system?

[@DieselEffect]

@@703Speed Yeah it does. It’s fully loaded. It’s not terrible by any means, but definitely feels like a step down from the other vehicles I listed.

[@Bluejumpsuitrofficial]

Does the “jeep” badge finish match the grille finish? It’s too Hard to tell

[@703Speed]

If my memory serves me correctly, the Jeep badge is shiny and the grille surrounds are satin
