The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a lot of good things going for it. It's comfortable and relatively spacious, and it offers class-leading towing and genuine off-road capability. We also like its well-tuned advanced driving aids that help make driving easier and safer. Where the Grand Cherokee comes up short is value. It doesn't offer as much standard equipment as rivals and is priced well into luxury territory when you check all the boxes.Read full review
Taking a driving adventure into the wilderness doesn't necessarily mean you need to give up on comfort, luxury or refinement, and the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee proves that. This two-row midsize SUV has a unique blend of rugged styling, a luxurious interior and off-road capabilities that could get you over some seriously challenging terrain. That alone makes the Grand Cherokee pretty special, but it also is offered with the choice of three engines, including the 4xe plug-in hybrid that is covered separately on Edmunds. Need more room? There's also the three-row Grand Cherokee L.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo A 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.31 per gallon for regular unleaded in Washington.
Jeep last redesigned the Grand Cherokee for the 2022 model year, and there are no major changes in the lineup for 2024. That means it holds its position in the class against the likes of the Honda Passport and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, which are more street-focused than off-road capable. The three-row Honda Pilot was redesigned for 2023 and features an off-road trim with abilities approaching the Grand Cherokee's, and we wouldn't be surprised if the next Passport benefits from the same upgrades.
More serious off-roaders will have to sacrifice some comfort and on-road composure if they opt for the stout Ford Bronco, or spend a lot more for something from Land Rover. That positions the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee in an advantageous position at the intersection of price, capabilities and luxury. There's a lot to like about it but also a few drawbacks to keep in mind, so be sure to check out our Expert Rating below for the entire story.

Good
7.9
out of 10
We drove the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.
Performance
8/10
How does the Grand Cherokee drive? The standard V6 in the Grand Cherokee isn't very exciting. In our testing, 0-60 mph took approximately 8.0 seconds, which is slow for a five-passenger midsize SUV. The available 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain is noticeably quicker. On the upside, the brakes give you confident and easy stopping power. We also like the steering for its light but accurate characteristics.
The Grand Cherokee isn't particularly athletic. It's not a clumsy SUV, but its limits on grip and driver enjoyment are below average. As consolation, the Grand Cherokee is more capable off-road than most other midsize crossover SUVs.
Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Grand Cherokee? This is a highlight category for the Grand Cherokee. The front seats are very comfortable, even on long trips. The available air suspension helps create a cushy ride that softens bumps in the road without feeling overly soft and floaty.
Our Grand Cherokee was equipped with the available four-zone climate control. It does a pretty good job of maintaining a set target temperature but, even with fans at max speed, it didn't quite blow as much air as we expected it to. The one area where the Grand Cherokee came up short was road noise on the highway, which was a bit too much for an upscale SUV.
Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? There's plenty of space in the Grand Cherokee even if it doesn't have the largest cabin in the class. There's comfortable space for passengers up to 6 feet tall in the reclining second row. Unfortunately the Grand Cherokee rides kind of high, and you'll need a decent step up to get in. We also noted poor forward visibility in some instances because of the Grand Cherokee's large front pillars and sideview mirrors. Get the available surround-view camera system to help take much of the guesswork out of parking.
Most of the controls are easy to use, but some of the dials are a bit small, and other buttons are positioned at strange angles. Also, certain angles of sunlight can completely obscure the labels for some of the touch-sensitive controls.

Save as much as $7,946 with Edmunds Click on the trim you’re interested in to see what Edmunds suggests you should pay to get a good deal. Savings vary by trim; $7,946 refers to estimated savings off of MSRP for the Summit Reserve trim.
How’s the tech? The Grand Cherokee has Jeep's latest Uconnect 5 infotainment system. It has crisp graphics, and the available integrated navigation system provides helpful turn-by-turn instructions. We did notice, however, that the screen's upward angle can sometimes catch glare from direct sunlight. Our test vehicle had the 19-speaker McIntosh surround-sound system, and we enjoyed its rich, distortion-free sound.
Smartphone integration comes standard, and along with it a ridiculous number of USB ports. We also like the breadth and function of the Grand Cherokee's suite of advanced driver aids. The adaptive cruise control brakes and accelerates smoothly, for instance, and the lane keeping system works great without too many sharp corrections.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The Grand Cherokee has 37.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats, which is average for a midsize SUV. (Volkwagen's Atlas Cross Sport offers 40.3 cubes, for instance.) The rear seats can also split and fold flat for loading large items. The tallish load-in height may be the only hurdle for some people.
Storage for smaller items is ample, with plenty of cupholders and spacious center console bins in the first and second rows. Car seat space in the back is ample. There are two sets of anchors on the outboard seats that are easily accessible behind classy leather flaps.
The Grand Cherokee offers above-average towing capability, with a 6,200-pound maximum capacity.

Fuel Economy
7.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Grand Cherokee gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined, which is above average for a midsize SUV. We've found the EPA's numbers are achievable in our own real-world testing.
Value
6.5/10
Is the Grand Cherokee a good value? The Grand Cherokee occupies a strangely wide position in the market. Entry-level Grand Cherokees are priced competitively, but they aren't as well equipped as many competitors. Then there are fully loaded versions like our test vehicle. It's surprisingly nice inside and has luxury options that aren't offered in the segment, but it's also priced like a luxury vehicle. In either case, it isn't a good matchup. Budget-conscious buyers will likely look for more value than the entry models offer, while luxury shoppers will probably want a luxury brand if they're spending that type of money. Build quality didn't feel quite as solid as we'd expect at this price either.
Jeep's warranty is par for the course, offering three years/36,000 miles of basic and five years/60,000 miles of powertrain and roadside assistance coverage.
Wildcard
8/10
Whether it's the imposing exterior design, the available V8 engine or its excellent towing and off-road capabilities, the Grand Cherokee carries Jeep's brand cachet that many have come to covet. It may not be the perfect midsize SUV, but there are few criticisms when it comes to style.
Which Grand Cherokee does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the midrange Grand Cherokee Limited trim for most shoppers. It comes with more convenience and luxury features than the Laredo, including a larger touchscreen and navigation. Adventure-bound clients would do well to check out the Trailhawk and Overland models instead.
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
This was my 3 Jeep Grand Cherokee so I trusted it was going to be good or better, wrong. It is back at the dealership. While driving it turned itself off and gave me two different error messages. The dealership Miami Lakes Automall don’t answer the phone or return my messages
As part of my lemon law lawsuit on May 3 2024 I finally was able to surrender the vehicle back to Jeep, almost a … year later
Do not be fooled! Build quality is TRASH

2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
I had been shopping around for a new vehicle and was so impressed by how gorgeous the 2024 GC Summit Reserve was especially in the Rocky Mountain Grey over Tupelo interior. I ended up finding one brand new $15,000 under MSRP about 10 hours away so I excitedly drove out to get it. Not even 5 months later and only 6,000 miles on the vehicle, I noticed small drops of water leaking through … the sunroof. Then water came out of the microphone vent over the passenger seat and the car has a distinct musty smell to it. Jeep corporate has been zero help and I have decided to bite the bullet and kiss off $10,000 in losses to just get rid of this heap of junk.
There is a serious design flaw in that they did not use any trim pieces around where the headliner connects to the ceiling so in this case, water indeed got behind the headliner and I have no idea how long this has been going on for. Once again, this car is brand new, 5 months old and has a sticker price of $71,000. Truly the worst choice I could have made and please learn from my mistake and buy ANYTHING else. Jeep has accomplished the impossible and made a Range Rover appear to be reliable.
The dealer network is absolute garbage, with no fixes and no loaner cars. The service manager had the audacity to tell me I would need to rent a car from Enterprise at $55 a day but they also are not sure of a solution to this issue AND they are not sure how much damage has been done. The warranty is absolutely useless and while the interior is gorgeous, I promise a musty odor and damp sensation will make it less appealing.
I truly hope others can learn from my mistakes and I understand now why the vehicles are leaving the lot with such huge incentives - the market is the best gauge for this. I would never buy another Stellantis product again, in fact, I would not even recommend one to my worse enemy.
As if the interior leak was not bad enough, when I brought it home from the dealership, I noticed the car looked a little off in ride height. I grabbed my level and sure enough - the air suspension is malfunctioning as the vehicle is dipping to the passenger side about 3 degrees. Once again, this car is 5 months old and has less than 6,000 miles. With this insanely poor build quality, I would be shocked if it even makes it to it's first oil change!
Please save yourself the $10,000 mistake that I made, you would be better off just standing in your front yard lighting hundred dollar bills on fire instead of wasting time and money on this steaming heap of [non-permissible content eremoved]. No wonder Stellantis is laying off workers and slashing their prices, they truly are not even a tenth of the company Jeep used to be and I would never recommend a single product. Save yourself! Don't be ignorant like I was - I thought oh this is just a few people with some bad luck. WRONG - these things are a pile, I have truly never had a less reliable car in my life. Their issues absolutely need to be investigated for a class action lawsuit but until then, please steer clear. Just about any other vehicle is far better and will offer you the absolute least in terms of being able to survive rain or the car wash.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
I purchased a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 9 miles for 62K ridiculous. I now have 5K miles. However, it's not been without its weird issues or noises. I love how it looks, comfortable and nice features. That's where it ends. To start for 62K, you should have more standard features, you have to buy so many packages to get everything you want, like a 3D camera that should be … standard at this price. Didn't think of it when I bought it assuming it had it, it does not without the extra tech package. Within the first week, my speaker on the drivers side, sounded like it was distorted, dealer said it was a defective speaker in the door, so they replaced that. Nope still coming from dash and now a twitter speaker ordered and I was told it's a service bulletin and another dealer said sure enough that one is defective too. I'm getting odd noises everywhere, when the car downshifts and breaking sometimes you can hear what sounds like a guitar string under the drivers side snapping and when electronics turn on all kinds of weird clicks happen especially backing out of the driveway you can hear an almost sloshing sound from the back under the truck. The fit and finish is also not very good, if you follow the body lines they are not perfect and this very true with the rocker molding on the drivers side. So much so that the technician at Jeep couldn't believe it and ordered a new one to be sent to the body shop to be painted, they said they'd call me when it was ready to install. That was a month ago. The transmission has shifted funny too on occasion. I don't have any more faith in Jeep, I tried, I just traded my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that has the typical issues of that year including a dashboard wrinkle that Jeep denied they'd pay to replace as well as 3 timing chain cover oil leaks at $1500 each time to repair. I'm done. After this Jeep, moving on to companies that care about quality build and quality control and taking care of their customers. I'm a 5 time Jeep owner, but this is it. A new 62K Jeep brand new should not be giving me noices and other issues or concerns so fast.
Nice SUV. Too bad it’s unreliable

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
Leased a new 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee from South Hills Jeep in McMurray, PA. After 2 months we began hearing unrecognizable noises/grinds. Then the vehicle slowed to a stop while driving about 40 mph. Dealership did diagnosis but nothing showed up. One more time and I’ll get another Honda or Toyota. This is our 4th Jeep, first with issues. Not acceptable. Expected more from the … dealer.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so we've included reviews for other years of the Grand Cherokee since its last redesign.
The Best New & Upcoming Cars 2022-2023 | Highlights From the LA Auto Show 2021
NOTE: This video is about the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but since the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
The Honda Passport has more off-road abilities than the typical midsize SUV, but it's not nearly as capable as the Grand Cherokee. If you're more into light-duty trails than more demanding terrain, the spacious and comfortable Passport could be a smarter and more affordable choice. The related three-row Pilot was redesigned last year and could also be worth a look.
If you're seeking the ultimate in off-roading and are willing to sacrifice some comfort and luxury for it, we heartily recommend the Ford Bronco. It's offered in a wide range of trim levels, with varying degrees of on-road comfort and off-road prowess. While it's not nearly as refined as the Grand Cherokee, it's also not as primitive as a Jeep Wrangler, so it could be an intriguing middle ground for you.
Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
While we all like the look and idea of a rugged off-roader, reality shows us that very few owners actually take their off-road-capable SUVs off the pavement. If that resonates with you, the VW Atlas Cross Sport is a better choice on pavement, with sharper handling and more efficient engines than the non-hybrid models of the Grand Cherokee.
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a midsize SUV with two rows of seats. Jeep gave the Grand Cherokee a much-needed redesign for the 2022 model year, with styling influenced by its bigger Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer siblings. The interior was also redesigned and includes Jeep's latest Uconnect 5 infotainment system, with an optional digital gauge cluster. Given the Grand Cherokee so recently had a major redesign, we don't expect any significant changes for the 2024 model year. That said, there is potential for the brand to fully electrify this model at some point in the not-so-distant future.
The V6 and V8 engines are holdovers from the previous model, but there's also an available plug-in hybrid version called the 4xe that joined the lineup for the 2022 model year. On a full charge, the 4xe can drive roughly 20-25 miles on all-electric power before the gasoline four-cylinder engine switches on. As another bonus, the 4xe generates a maximum of 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, which is more than the Grand Cherokee's already potent 357-hp V8.
The Grand Cherokee competes with the Honda Passport, which we praise for its athletic qualities. It also delivers a comfortable ride, generous passenger and cargo space, and an impressive list of standard features. It also competes with the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, a boxy yet stylish-looking utility vehicle that is popular with SUV buyers.
Edmunds says
The Grand Cherokee is a tried-and-true SUV with an outdoorsy bent. This model is more premium than prior generations, with a long list of desirable tech and luxury features. If your daily commute is manageable, consider the plug-in hybrid model to save on gas.
