2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

Brand: Jeep

Price Range: $13,750 - $37,500

Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

While the 2020 Grand Cherokee was once a class leader, its age is starting to show. It's still sturdy and very off-road-capable, but we recommend upgrading from the standard V6 engine to one of the available V8 powertrains for a bit more gusto. The most appealing value can be found in the the middle of the JGC's lineup with the Limited and the Trailhawk.

Amazing vehicle does exactly what it says

2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

I work in the Oil and Gas sector in Alberta and drive this vehicle up and down mountain roads, lease roads and over rig mat’s summer, winter, fall (Spring is typically slow for me). It handles well on highway, looks great downtown Calgary, handles great in the bush and with the right tires is glued to the road in the worst conditions. I am also an avid skier and mountain biker with a son …

2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

My fourth Jeep (third Grand Cherokee). This latest iteration has 500 miles on it to date and has an exceptional quality-made interior and currently is getting 18.9 mpg (mixed city and highway). While I miss my diesel (34 mpg on its shakedown trip to Alabama), the 6-cyl engine unleaded appears sufficient (I didn't get the 8 cyl) and the safety systems appear to work as advertised. I …

2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

First time Jeep buyer, first time SUV owner....I have always driven sports cars, but I bought a home with large property, and found myself looking at a velvet red Grand Cherokee Limited X...... I own a lot of vehicles, but never a SUV. When I acquire a new vehicle, it has to grow on me....and a recent truck purchase never did grow on me, and I did not like it.....and here is the point: …
