2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit

Pros: Availability of unique diesel and SRT high-performance models; tough-to-match off-road prowess; classy, upscale interiors in higher-end models

Cons: Not as good a value as many class competitors; rear legroom can grow cramped; poor fuel economy in SRT model

CG Says: For 2017, Jeep Grand Cherokee gains a new off-road-oriented Trailhawk model. The luxurious Summit model gets revised styling inside and out, while the high-performance Grand Cherokee SRT has a new front fascia. Lane-departure warning, parallel parking assist, and trailer-hitch camera are newly available features. All Grand Cherokees now have standard reaview camera and rear parking sensors. Grand Cherokee has evolved into sort of a poor-man’s Range Rover, and that’s not a bad thing. It can be equipped for severe off-road use or country club luxury–or both–and that helps set it apart from its 5-passenger rivals in this class. So do its higher towing limits. But most buyers who want a midsize SUV for more normal driving will likely find others in this class to be a better value from a features-per-dollar standpoint.
