Performance, Fuel, and Capability 

Grand Cherokee test drivers will be pleased to find out that the 2017 model continues its successful performance traditions from years past.

Generous power brews from the standard 3.6L V6 engine that makes 295 horsepower. Top SRT Grand Cherokees run on a larger 5.7L V8 engine and a 3L V6 diesel engine option is also available.

All engines are well-matched to the Grand Cherokee fleet's go-to gearbox: an 8-speed automatic ZF transmission complete with paddle shifters allows for maximum handling control and serious economy gains. The entry-level Grand Cherokee returns 19/26 mpg for city/highway driving, according to the EPA.

Rear-wheel-drive standard, the 2017 Grand Cherokee also grants its drivers several 4-wheel drive system options. 4-wheel drive Grand Cherokees can proudly take on slippery roads when the weather gets tough or uncharted territory when your urge to explore new trails is at its peak. When properly equipped, the Jeep Grand Cherokee can tow up to 7,400 pounds.

The Grand Cherokee Is a Luxury-Level Adventurer

Seating five across two rows, the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee features a lush, roomy interior that can be loaded up with technology-savvy features and high-quality amenities to your heart's content.

The standard Grand Cherokee comes equipped with features you'd find in a luxury-level traveler like Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control and Jeep's intuitive Uconnect® infotainment system that operates from a 5-inch touchscreen on the dash. Bundling Bluetooth® phone and audio-SiriusXM® Satellite Radio-and voice command technology, drivers will enjoy easy access to thousands of music options, plus the convenience of making and receiving calls while on the go, and the ability to switch settings through a simple out-loud request.

Plentiful storage nooks around the cabin and a total cargo hold of up to 68.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down prove the Grand Cherokee is as functional as it is stylish.
