2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. And if you're looking for a midsize SUV, there's no tougher than the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

To show Rapid City, Belle Fourche, and Sioux Falls drivers just what this vehicle is capable of, our team at Liberty Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT has put together this detailed review. 

Jeep Grand Cherokee: Performance Specs

Whether you're cruising down the highway or hitting the rockier roads, there's one thing you can't do without: power. And you'll have plenty of it with the 3.6L V6 engine found under the hood of the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

With a powertrain like that, the Grand Cherokee can generate 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque with ease. Nevertheless, it maintains 25 highway MPG and 18 city MPG,¹ thanks to the Stop/Start dual battery system.

The Stop/Start system essentially gives your engine the power to turn on and off autonomously, cutting out during periods of idling to reduce fuel consumption. When paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission, the Grand Cherokee pushes the limits on economy.

Take That Power Off-Road

While the Grand Cherokee is perfectly suited for city and suburban driving, its powerful engine is truly put to best use when you head off-road. So, better start planning your next adventure!

Do you intend to take some heavy equipment, or maybe even a camper with you? No problem. The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee can haul up to 6,200 pounds when equipped with the right towing gear.

You'll have no trouble with handling, no matter how rough the roads might get. The Quadra-Trac I® 4-wheel drive system with base Selec-Terrain™ system was made to adapt to changing roads with ease.

Selec-Terrain™ includes four different modes: Automatic, Snow, Sport, and Sand/Mud, as well as a brake lock differential. Your tires won't be left spinning with all that versatility and gripping power.

Settle in for Your Next Road Trip

Although it may be considered a midsize SUV, the Grand Cherokee makes a point to push the class limits on space. After all, if you're making this the designated road trip vehicle, you're going to need some room to stretch out.

In total, passengers will have 105.4 cubic feet of space to work with, with 36.3 cubic feet of space dedicated solely to cargo. Fold over the rear seat or the fold flat front passenger seat to help fit in some of your bigger cargo items.

As the driver, you'll have a low-backed bucket seat with cloth trim to settle into. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob will then add a bit of class. 

During those extreme weather months, you'll have dual-zone automatic climate control at your disposal. That way, if you and your copilot disagree on the right temperature, you can both have it your own way.
