I have a '23 in the Limited trim. No real issues what so ever. It has all the candy I need, and I really like the ride quality even without airbags. I think Jeep gets a bad rap for reliability. Far fewer recalls than current Ford models. My last vehicle was a 2010 Fusion, and it was a great car. When I shopped for its replacement, I crossed off Ford based on how many quality control issues they had at the time and continue to have. Dozens of recalls versus only a few for my Jeep and those were handled in short order with only a software update in at least one case.
Jeep has a bad rap for a good reason... it is 100% true that their vehicles are garbage. I have owned two FCA/Stellantis products out of 20+ cars in my lifetime and those two would be ranked dead last out of all of them. Just endless problems and horrid build quality.
I have owned 3 Grand Cherokees and I have loved every single one of them. My family has owned 4 Dodge vehicles, which is more or less the same brand. Same parent company. They’ve been fine. I have 126,000 mi on my 2011 and I’d buy it again. I agree, the brand gets a bad rep. I’m not saying they’re perfect in terms of reliability, but they aren’t any worse than the other vehicles we’ve owned. If reliability could be measured on a scale of 1 - 10, with a Land Cruiser at 10, I’d place the Grand Cherokee somewhere around the 6 mark, which is where I would place most vehicles. About average, but can last a long time with adequate maintenance and care. The brand - like all others - has produced some problematic models and powertrains, but it’s not the rule. I don’t think they validate their vehicles to last as long as Toyota and Honda do but they are right in line with Ford and GM. Currently I’d place them above Ford and GM, given the problems those brands have with their powertrains, especially in the trucks and SUVs.
I read an article a couple weeks ago (I think an online article by Motortrend) what car makes are sitting on the most inventory and Stellantis (ie: Chrysler/Jeep, etc.) had the most by far. The article went on to say the needed to move these vehicles fast and expect to see them give dealers huge price-drop incentives. Looks like that was true!
Those of you criticizing this the 67k price for the top of the line Summit Reserve really need to see this vehicle in person. It really is a legitimate luxury vehicle; it was just horribly overpriced previously. Also, that V6 is still competitive and reliable without the complexities and longevity issues of an inline 4 turbo. They still need to add the i6 turbo as an option for the top of the line model however and I still wouldn’t pay the full MSRP.
That i6 turbo seems to be reserved for their Wagoneer. For i4 turbo engines, they last a long, long time if you take care of them like any other engine. My 2015 ATS 2.0T has 120k miles on it and counting. All I have done is fluid changes.
For $65k they'd have to offer something more impressive than the 3.6L that doesn't even make 300hp for me - I owned a 2012 JGC Overland with that engine for 9 years and it was "adequate" but my 2022 Infiniti QX60 that I replaced the Grand Cherokee with feels noticeably more powerful with only two additional horsepower from its smaller V6 engine - I still considered another Grand Cherokee but the price actually steered me away, these new reductions in price along with some hopefully willingness to negotiate from dealers may encourage me to buy one of these Jeeps for the wife when her lease is up next summer though.
As a taller driver, I cannot fit comfortably with the Pano-Roof. It eats up about 4-5 inches of roof space and makes it very difficult to sit upright. Sadly, you cannot 'de=select' the roof option, as it comes standard in every trim at limited and above. I've read that having that huge hole in the roof actually makes production easier, jeep doesn't have to worry about the roof-reinforcement as apparently the glass roof portion does the job. I see just about every manufacturer doing the same.
Really? I got about 190 thousand miles out of my 2012 Overland before trading it in after it randomly overheated on me in rush hour traffic, I assume the water pump went but it started steaming so much from under the hood and the coolant gauge was completely pointing to the red 'H" before I noticed it that I just didn't trust it anymore and traded it in the next day, but it was a great truck for 9 years and needed very few repairs, the biggest one was the "blend door" or whatever it's called that made an annoying clicking noise from the dash everytime I'd turn on the heat or A/C and cost me a small fortune to fix, but otherwise I maintained it according to the owner's manual recommendations with all fluids changed at the mileage recommended and never had a big mechanical failure until it overheated likely due to my obliviousness.
Listen. I love the grand cherokee and compass, as well as 2 door wrangler. They're really nice vehicles but stellantis seriously needs to invest focus and money into improving their reliability and repairing their reputation
Well not surprised about the price drop. Even at the Jeep dealership they told me not to get the new one as it comes filled with electrical problems. I owned a 2018 Grand Cherokee Summit for five years and the only problem was the water pump. They don't make it like they used to anymore. Thanks for the great video.
@@Jam.S.parent company. They merged with Italian fiat 15 years ago and formed FCA. FCA merged with PSA which is Peugeot and formed Stellantis. Absolute garbage of a merger. FCA was better but the only profitable brands were the American ones and they overpriced them to make up for losses on everything else and have ruined their them
This car looks beautiful outside, and beautiful inside with that gorgeous interior color and wood throughout. However, that gloss black throughout the center looks so cheap, the fit and finish for it might not be great, and keep reliability is just bad. Also, it’s still a lot of money for what it is. You can get a CX-90 for less and that’s also an awesome car.
I bought a brand new 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited today (same color as the one in the video but with black interior). Will be getting the extended warranty and will advise of any problems, issues, or concerns with the vehicle along the way.
This is truly a beautiful SUV. The exterior & interior colors are spot on gorgeous. I love the total layout of the interior, too. However..... The price is STILL TOO DAMN HIGH for the historical poor quality of the histbuild. They seriously need to chop another $10,000 off the msrp.
It’s such a shame that these are really beautiful because I want one really badly but wouldn’t ever actually consider buying one because of the reliability or lack thereof
We had a brand new 2024 Wagoneer we went on a drive home the next day we wake up and it just wouldn’t start what it was worth 27 miles shouldn’t be all you get out of a car
This was my first vid I’ve watched of you guys; you’ve got a new subscriber! Looking into trading in my ‘21 Wrangler for a Grand Cherokee to get my mom car even though we already have three kids haha
I rode in a coworker’s 2021 Grand Cherokee. It looks nice but the amount of creaks and rattles really turned me off. If only they built them better I wouldn’t mind having one. I have a 2005 Tundra that still feels solid and quiet when going over bumps.
No it’s not Acura mdx type S is more than 2 sec faster 0-60 has air suspension, better sound system and is still cheaper 😂. Only think summit reserve has is passenger side screen..
@@Jeez001not really a fair comparison. The sound system is amazing if you option the Macintosh (comes standard in the top trims). It does have air suspension as well (optional) (standard in top trims again).
@Jeez001 The Grand Cherokee is a superior vehicle compared to Acura MDX Type S. It has far more tech and real 4wd with height adjustable air suspension and real offroad ability. The Acura is a car pretending to be an SUV. It's bot even in the same class. You'd need to compare the Jeep with something like a Range Rover, not an Acura😂 Let me know when Acura starts offering night vision like you can get on these Jeeps.😂
I think the 21” wheels really inhibit how smooth the air suspension can make this vehicle ride. I would buy the air suspension model and I would buy the Laredo wheels to put on it. If you had one with air suspension and one without it, but both vehicles with the same wheel size and tires, the air suspension model would be a smoother ride. It doesn’t have variable damping, but the air springs themselves make the vehicle ride smoother than steel coil springs. The air bag springs are better at reducing the amount of NVH and impact force make it into the cabin. If they added variable damping shocks, it would further enhance the ride quality, and I bet they will one day. I do wish they offered a more powerful engine to bring the max towing numbers back up to 7200lbs, and for effortless take-off torque. I also wish they’d offer one of the 2-speed transfer-case 4WD systems on all trim levels instead of just the most expensive models.
Good morning gentlemen. Hope your Thanksgiving was enjoyable couple days ago. Good review video for the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim. I remembered you guys reviewed the Limited trim level couple years ago and I'm glad in this review video the high trim level Summit Reserve got reviewed. I'm on agreeable terms that the overall interior is comfortable, great in appearance and has nice premium build materials. I actually have the same Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim. The only three differences are mine is the 2023 model year....I got mine last year in the summer of 2023, exterior color for mine is the Diamond Black Crystal Pearl color and finally mine has the 5.7 liter HEMI V8 engine. It's a very good performing engine. If that V8 engine was carried over to the 2025 model year and you guys reviewed it, as for the hard acceleration from 0 to 60 it would've gotten four smiley faces or five. Unfortunately, the 5.7 liter V8 got discontinued due to the new emission guidelines that got outlined couple years ago. Basically, dumb emission guidelines outlined by the current administration. The 6.4 liter HEMI V8 engine in the bigger luxury brother Grand Wagoneer got discontinued as well starting with the 2024 model year for that vehicle. The 2022 and 2023 model years for the Grand Wagoneer came with the 6.4 liter HEMI V8 engine. The replacement engine which is a 3.0 liter twin turbo inline 6 or straight 6 engine produces 510 horsepower which is impressive. Unfortunately, for a hard acceleration with that engine what's M.I.A. is the V8 growl sound. Depending on how things might go, maybe with the incoming elected new administration, bigger engines that got discontinued might slowly come back eventually. Bigger engines either if it's a V6 or V8 across the entire automotive industry regardless of automaker. As for the technology features in the Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim, it's not slightly dated. The technology features are still on par with the luxury rivals and mainstream rivals as well. Besides wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple Car play there are some other features as well which are M.I.A. from some of the competitors luxury or mainstream. Other tech features include the front passenger infotainment screen, interior camera, night vision camera, ambient lighting, seat memory for the front passenger, parallel parking/perpendicular parking assist, HDMI port and some other features will be found when playing around with the infotainment screen. Overall, this vehicle has few features that's missing from the new Lexus TX. A mid-cycle refresh for this fifth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee L is coming. Based on info I've gotten from couple sources, the 2026 model year will have the mid-cycle refresh in effect. A new powertrain will be available as well for the refresh. It'll be the 3.0 liter twin turbo inline 6 Hurricane engine that's found in the Grand Wagoneer. However, when it gets released it'll be detuned though. They're not going to make it have identical performance numbers the Grand Wagoneer has which is 510 horsepower. For the Grand Cherokee L it'll be detuned down to probably between 430 to 450 horsepower. That's my range I think they'll aim for. Generally speaking, Jeep did a great job with this fifth generation Grand Cherokee. All exterior lights are LED and the same goes for all the interior lights which are LED as well which is standard regardless of trim level. I love my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and I'll keep it just like how I'm still keeping my 2005 third generation V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee. One thing I'll do with my Jeep Grand Cherokee L is to get it painted a different color at the dealership in two years time. I originally wanted the Midnight Sky Blue color when I got mine last year, but it wasn't available at my local dealership and neighboring dealerships didn't have that color either. The Summit and Summit Reserve trims comes standard with the two tone exterior color. When the time comes mine will look great with the Midnight Sky Blue color for the body and the black roof remains.
This Jeep is very nice inside and out. It has always been the nicer option depending on which segment you was looking at. It wasn’t really expensive until you looked at this summit reserve trim which in my opinion isn’t competing with the mainstream. This is more of a QX60, Q7, Lincoln aviator competitor. Maybe an alternative to a X7 or GLS from bmw and Mercedes. It has enough luxury and tech that it won’t have consumers wanting for more BUT the major setback of this is the reliability. I notice this with a lot of American branded vehicles, these tend to have problems within maybe the first few years. Technology wise. These have quite a few mechanical issues. Jeep has never been known for being reliable cars anyway so it’s not a surprise but it’s something to beware of. This is 67 we looked at a qx60 and XC90 that was 72 and this is about as nice even though jeep is an established luxury brand this is definitely something to take a look at. I will say though, the V8 will be missed. It was the only one left of either segment with a V8. The Durango is still going strong with its hemi though 💪
Jeep should maintain current prices. They are extremely luxurious inside and have wonderful features. Selling the Cherokee’s for less would be thievery!
I'm driving a 2018 Trailhawk right now. That's my baby, I take good care of her. I lost the engine exactly a year ago, got it replaced under warranty , and I didn't spend a dime. Only cost me a few gray hair, though. Last month, I lost my transmission, which cost me $3800 to be replaced. I just got my baby back a week ago. I'm a sucker for Jeep Trailhawk , I was gonna go for the 2025 4e model but seems like they not reliable. I've been looking around for something else because I don't trust my 2018 trailhawk model right now. Hopefully it will last 6 months before I can trade it for something else.
I can get a Jeep grand Cherokee Summit reserve I can lease it with zero down 36 months 10,000 miles a year I’d be looking at a $1700 a month car payment for that exact price. I can get a fully loaded every single option 2025X5 or X6 with a V8 and 523 hp
Reliability score is really bad and currently this same trim but 2023 version is $32,000 value. Definitely not worth the money especially with all the issues that come up after warranty ends.
Does the price drop come with better reliability? I recently saw a Wagoneer turning into my subdivision headlights on... well except the driver side LED fog light.
One of the primary reasons I decided on a 2024 Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve is that I could get it with the 5.7 Hemi V8, otherwise I would have no interest. I would have liked it even better with the 392. In my opinion, the 3.6 V6 is too stressed and underpowered for this vehicle. Too bad Jeep did away with the availability of a V8 option in the Grand Cherokee. Bring to market what customers want, not what the government mandates.
My husband really wants one! I just can’t justify the cost, we paid less for our Lexus… I do think it’s beautiful! But come on jeeps aren’t close to hitting that luxury level, it’s made by Chrysler 😂 that’s laughable
All those glossy dashboard surfaces will look like terrible in use (dust, scratches), and that awful hockey puck shifter has no detent between R and P so forget shifting it without having to look at it first.
The Acura, Infiniti, and Mercedes competition have piano black as well. The Jeep Grand Cherokee top of the line models were an “affordable” alternative to the expensive luxury models when we paid 56k for my wife’s 2019 Summit. Problem is, Stellantis started charging as much and even more in some cases than those models… a big mistake. Trust me, these vehicles in the top of the line models are NICE!
I had one of these. It kept breaking down in my driveway and the dealer couldn't fix it. Terrible quality. The electronics on it were appalling. Never again.
Sorry Jeep, but the top-of-the-line Grand Cherokee is not far from Lexus GX price territory, and Lexus is in another league in design, quality, and reliability not to mention a much powerful powertrain. Exterior-wise, it doesn't look too different from any other 3-row SUV out there, But I must say, finally the Grand Cherokee has a beautifully designed interior. It's kind of sad to see the diminishing of an icon such as the Gran Cherokee, I haven't seen many of these in the streets as previous models.
Had two jeeps before.. The reliability is horrible! Stayed in the shop all the time! Furthermore, I never understood why they would put a third row in a mid-size suv! 🤔 Why not remove the 3rd row, and push those captains seats back a few inches to increase the legroom for taller passengers! No way I'm fitting back there at 6'2"! Not worth the price tag or the reliability issues!
the designers absolutely nailed it with this suv. sadly you can't say that about the rest. the engineering, reliability, software issues etc... all atrocious
Jeep is not a luxury brand. Don’t ever say that. The fact that jeep tried to insert itself with luxury is what ruined it. And yes it’s still overpriced.
Still they are selling in the market? I thought few dealerships are closing 😅😅 price drop or not, junk is junk!! Why spend $67K for unreliable junk, whilst I can pick Lexus NX/RX [highly reliable]******

The question is for the same money, would you buy JGC Summit or a Range Rover Velar, if it were your money?
Guys the top of the armrest between the captains chairs flips forward so it lays flat when mid row is folded down.
I got the 2023 summit reserve with the v8 and all the packages absolutely love it

I'm 6'1" and have plenty of both leg and head room with the panoramic roof.
Nice 4wd minivan with swing doors not sliders. These used to be reasonably priced in basic and mid trims.
This vehicle is just one I6 away from greatness.
Fantastic review!😸
Having owned a previous generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, I find it really hard to believe that this will have anything approaching average reliability.

I’ll bet the dealer told you not to buy their vehicle. C’mon.
Because Stellantis is Garbage, FCA was better, Daimler was even better
I have a 2022 Overland and i haven't experience any electrical problems
Best to invest in extended warranty you won't regret that coverage because it will be put to good use.
10k def makes it more reasonable. They are all 10-15k too high. Jeep is a blue collar brand. They need to separate from Stellantis
What's Stellantis?
@@Jam.S.Stellantis is the group they are in. It contains brands such as Chrysler, Dodge, Peugeot, etc. It’s basically a merger between FCA and PSA.
@@Jam.S.parent company. They merged with Italian fiat 15 years ago and formed FCA. FCA merged with PSA which is Peugeot and formed Stellantis. Absolute garbage of a merger.

All it needs is the hurricane 3.0T S.O 420hp it will do wonders for this, the 25 Ram went 0-60 4.8 sec with th S.O

The fact Grand Cherokee L was costing more than Acura mdx or Lexus TX was 😂

Besides wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple Car play there are some other features as well which are M.I.A. from some of the competitors luxury or mainstream. Other tech features include the front passenger infotainment screen, interior camera, night vision camera, ambient lighting, seat memory for the front passenger, parallel parking/perpendicular parking assist, HDMI port and some other features will be found when playing around with the infotainment screen. Overall, this vehicle has few features that's missing from the new Lexus TX. A mid-cycle refresh for this fifth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee L is coming. Based on info I've gotten from couple sources, the 2026 model year will have the mid-cycle refresh in effect. A new powertrain will be available as well for the refresh. It'll be the 3.0 liter twin turbo inline 6 Hurricane engine that's found in the Grand Wagoneer. However, when it gets released it'll be detuned though. They're not going to make it have identical performance numbers the Grand Wagoneer has which is 510 horsepower. For the Grand Cherokee L it'll be detuned down to probably between 430 to 450 horsepower. That's my range I think they'll aim for. Generally speaking, Jeep did a great job with this fifth generation Grand Cherokee. All exterior lights are LED and the same goes for all the interior lights which are LED as well which is standard regardless of trim level. I love my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L and I'll keep it just like how I'm still keeping my 2005 third generation V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee. One thing I'll do with my Jeep Grand Cherokee L is to get it painted a different color at the dealership in two years time. I originally wanted the Midnight Sky Blue color when I got mine last year, but it wasn't available at my local dealership and neighboring dealerships didn't have that color either. The Summit and Summit Reserve trims comes standard with the two tone exterior color. When the time comes mine will look great with the Midnight Sky Blue color for the body and the black roof remains.
Thanks! Hope you also had a great Thanksgiving!
@CarConfections You're welcome. It was enjoyable. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you guys when it arrives in few hours!! 🎆🎆
This Jeep is very nice inside and out. It has always been the nicer option depending on which segment you was looking at. It wasn’t really expensive until you looked at this summit reserve trim which in my opinion isn’t competing with the mainstream. This is more of a QX60, Q7, Lincoln aviator competitor. Maybe an alternative to a X7 or GLS from bmw and Mercedes. It has enough luxury and tech that it won’t have consumers wanting for more BUT the major setback of this is the reliability. I notice this with a lot of American branded vehicles, these tend to have problems within maybe the first few years. Technology wise. These have quite a few mechanical issues. Jeep has never been known for being reliable cars anyway so it’s not a surprise but it’s something to beware of. This is 67 we looked at a qx60 and XC90 that was 72 and this is about as nice even though jeep is an established luxury brand this is definitely something to take a look at. I will say though, the V8 will be missed. It was the only one left of either segment with a V8. The Durango is still going strong with its hemi though 💪
Jeep should maintain current prices. They are extremely luxurious inside and have wonderful features. Selling the Cherokee’s for less would be thievery!
Hahahaha, love the sarcasm
I'm driving a 2018 Trailhawk right now. That's my baby, I take good care of her. I lost the engine exactly a year ago, got it replaced under warranty , and I didn't spend a dime. Only cost me a few gray hair, though.
Last month, I lost my transmission, which cost me $3800 to be replaced. I just got my baby back a week ago.
I'm a sucker for Jeep Trailhawk , I was gonna go for the 2025 4e model but seems like they not reliable.
I've been looking around for something else because I don't trust my 2018 trailhawk model right now.
Hopefully it will last 6 months before I can trade it for something else.
Geez how many miles till you lost those two?
One can get a early 2024 brand new left over Acura MDX S with its 355 hp V6 for that price🤷🏼.
My dream car👌💓
Great review. But did anyone else notice that the Check Engine Light was on?
If I would buy this car just because of interior. ❤
Everyone will be comfortable while sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck! 😂
I can get a Jeep grand Cherokee Summit reserve I can lease it with zero down 36 months 10,000 miles a year I’d be looking at a $1700 a month car payment for that exact price. I can get a fully loaded every single option 2025X5 or X6 with a V8 and 523 hp
In Canada the price has gone up by $6900
For sure! The Jeep Grand Cherokee is known for its off-road capability and spacious interior. It’s got a cool mix of ruggedness and luxury.
Charger last call has projector LEDs but Stellanis is still putting reflector LEDs in these pricy JEEP's.
They ditched the v8??? Why :(
unnecessary in a crossover
Reliability score is really bad and currently this same trim but 2023 version is $32,000 value. Definitely not worth the money especially with all the issues that come up after warranty ends.
Reliable?
No. I had a 2021 with all kinds of electrical problems.
Not at all!! 😅😊
yes, in parking lot
@ 😂🤣😂🤣
My '22 is reliable.
Have Honda make everything under the hood and I’m down
Naw Honda isn't as reliable as people think! Speaking from experience. Got a 2022 Accord 2.0t and I will NEVER buy another Honda product again!
Does the price drop come with better reliability? I recently saw a Wagoneer turning into my subdivision headlights on... well except the driver side LED fog light.
Were they turning right perhaps? Thats a “feature” on the RAM’s. They turn on the fog light when making a turn to give you better side visibility.
@@ec1ipse14
That could be the possible explanation. It was turning right.
I can only imagine once all that electronics start going bad, you are going to loose your shirt, trying to get this vehicle fixed. SCARY!!!!
Finally, 2025 version has been released
Next Jeep Grand Wagoneer 2025
One of the primary reasons I decided on a 2024 Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve is that I could get it with the 5.7 Hemi V8, otherwise I would have no interest. I would have liked it even better with the 392. In my opinion, the 3.6 V6 is too stressed and underpowered for this vehicle. Too bad Jeep did away with the availability of a V8 option in the Grand Cherokee. Bring to market what customers want, not what the government mandates.
I wish it had a 500 hp twin turbo
My service center at Jeep even told me avoid all cars from Jeep that’s a sign right there
2026 Kia sportage please
Agreed. kia or Hyundai are a much better vehicle.
My husband really wants one! I just can’t justify the cost, we paid less for our Lexus… I do think it’s beautiful! But come on jeeps aren’t close to hitting that luxury level, it’s made by Chrysler 😂 that’s laughable
Way too many vehicles in this category with better reliability and warranty to ever buy one of these.
All those glossy dashboard surfaces will look like terrible in use (dust, scratches), and that awful hockey puck shifter has no detent between R and P so forget shifting it without having to look at it first.
$67,000 for a bunch of piano black, and please can you maybe start thinking about doing 75 mph sound db's.
The Acura, Infiniti, and Mercedes competition have piano black as well.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee top of the line models were an “affordable” alternative to the expensive luxury models when we paid 56k for my wife’s 2019 Summit.
Problem is, Stellantis started charging as much and even more in some cases than those models… a big mistake.
Trust me, these vehicles in the top of the line models are NICE!
HEY "Fellas" ..... The "G" twins
First to like ❤🎉🎉
I like the color of the interior
Gimme 100k warranty and I’m all over it. 😬
They have 3 row and 2 row? No wonder this looks massive
hm… looks the same as the 2021 inside and outside…
It is to bad that the engine is lacking in power. Where is the HEMI!!
The back looks like bmw x7
I had one of these. It kept breaking down in my driveway and the dealer couldn't fix it. Terrible quality. The electronics on it were appalling. Never again.
Sorry Jeep, but the top-of-the-line Grand Cherokee is not far from Lexus GX price territory, and Lexus is in another league in design, quality, and reliability not to mention a much powerful powertrain. Exterior-wise, it doesn't look too different from any other 3-row SUV out there, But I must say, finally the Grand Cherokee has a beautifully designed interior.
It's kind of sad to see the diminishing of an icon such as the Gran Cherokee, I haven't seen many of these in the streets as previous models.
This is way too big, too nice, and too luxurious for the loud, anemic, weak 3.6L engine
Does it still come with a carton of non-filtered cigarettes?
Had two jeeps before.. The reliability is horrible! Stayed in the shop all the time! Furthermore, I never understood why they would put a third row in a mid-size suv! 🤔 Why not remove the 3rd row, and push those captains seats back a few inches to increase the legroom for taller passengers! No way I'm fitting back there at 6'2"! Not worth the price tag or the reliability issues!
Aren’t these consistently named on least reliable lists?
yeah for software resets. big deal
Super lazy 2025 model year, this vehicle desperately needed the new 3.0L engine as an option and improved build quality.
Still wouldn’t buy it … 😂
Need money. I understand
Nice truck
@@primeminister66over a Toyota truck? 😂
@@deltaview2151more like there are better options available for equal or less money
Then get lost and let the real men step up
10k to 15k reduction needed as Tesla
Just Buy the Telluride and call it the day!
Just bought an LX AWD and 3k discount for $36000
Very happy, 3.8 V6 and drive like luxury
@@masoudshaghaghi5744 👍🏿👍🏿
V6🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
293 hp. Isn't much for this
as opposed to the competitors offering 250 HP turbo 4 cylinders?
Slow
@@dustinm8800 yes. They are all slow
Too little too late, Stellantis.
these sell
The ancient 3.6 V6 needs to be retired. Jeep - put the Hurricane in the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, and the RAM Promaster Vans!
Maxed out this POS should be 60k and not a penny more
If Mazda can do it, Jeep can certainly do it.
Nothing grand about that tiny display🤦♂️
Surprised, no rear window shades!! Come on Jeep!!
the designers absolutely nailed it with this suv. sadly you can't say that about the rest. the engineering, reliability, software issues etc... all atrocious
Jeep is not a luxury brand. Don’t ever say that. The fact that jeep tried to insert itself with luxury is what ruined it.
And yes it’s still overpriced.
Big price drop to $70,000. Are you kidding? Our middle class is still being asked to underwrite EV stupidity.
Hard no.
Jeep????....no thks... Stelantis is in bad situation in everywhere
Still they are selling in the market? I thought few dealerships are closing 😅😅 price drop or not, junk is junk!! Why spend $67K for unreliable junk, whilst I can pick Lexus NX/RX [highly reliable]******
No V8 = No thank you!
Turbo 4s suck
