2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee | CarGurus Test Drive Review

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to provide the styling and image made famous over 25 years as a best-selling SUV. Despite some questionable reliability and a powertrain warranty demotion from 100,000 miles to 60,000, Jeep continues to provide a good-looking and trail-ready SUV: as Chris Wardlaw puts it, the Grand Cherokee is a “rolling representation of freedom, an escape pod from the daily grind.”

A 295-hp, 3.6-liter V6 should deliver 21 miles per gallon combined thanks to its 8-speed automatic transmission, and a lowered “aero mode” suspension setting and the vehicle's tight turning radius are blessings for anyone too accustomed to 3-point turns. The Overland trim, shown here, includes a 19-speaker sound system, an easy to use infotainment display with drag-and-drop buttons, and an impressive advanced technology package. This includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

With a full-size spare tire, Jeep’s Selec-Terrain system, and a Quadra-lift air-suspension system capable of providing up to 10.4 inches of ground clearance, the Grand Cherokee Overland will take you just about anywhere. Thanks to comfortable front seats, plus air vents and dual-USB plugs available to the heated rear seats, you’re sure to be well taken care of along the way.
