How much does the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 7.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,354 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 6.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, performance, and luxurious features, along with the spacious interior and powerful Hemi engine. That lines up with the overview: you’re looking at an SUV that appeals if you want broad capability, strong presence, and a vehicle that can handle everyday use as well as more rugged driving.

The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 31.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to comfort, performance, and luxurious features, and it also highlights the spacious interior and powerful engine choices that help the Grand Cherokee feel well-rounded over time. The expert test-drive notes also frame it as a vehicle built around capability and broad usefulness, which is the kind of character many buyers associate with dependable long-term ownership.

Jeep also notes that the Grand Cherokee’s available engines and hardware are designed for serious use, including towing and off-pavement driving. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is that this is a capability-first SUV, so you should be prepared to verify maintenance history and condition carefully before buying.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

At 59.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the SUV has been used for towing or off-road driving. Focus on signs of wear that match the Grand Cherokee’s intended use, since capability-oriented SUVs can hide harder lives than their mileage alone suggests.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Jeep sells this SUV in Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and SRT model series. The Overland test vehicle adds a 19-speaker sound system and an Advanced Technology package, while the base versions are the ones most likely to leave out those upscale touches.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.6-liter V6 makes 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and Jeep also offers a 5.7-liter V8 for maximum towing. The V6 is described as robust and capable, while the V8 is the choice if you need the highest tow rating.
• Safety package: The Advanced Technology package adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. It is an optional upgrade, so you should confirm whether a used listing has it.
• Infotainment: Uconnect uses an 8.4-inch color touchscreen in the Overland, with Siri Eyes Free and Do Not Disturb functions. The system is easy to use, but the tech feels dated and the Uconnect Access hotspot uses a slow 3G connection.

Which 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 5 trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and SRT.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the Grand Cherokee’s core capability and styling without paying for the higher-end equipment that appears in the upper trims.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want a better balance of features and value, especially since Jeep also offers the 75th Anniversary Edition package on this version.
• Overland: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it brings a more upscale feel, the 8.4-inch touchscreen, and the available Advanced Technology package.
• Summit: Choose this if you want the most luxury-oriented version of the standard lineup and are willing to pay for it.
• SRT: This is the performance-focused choice, with track-ready intent and pavement performance as its defining character.

The safety-package note to keep in mind is that the Advanced Technology package is optional, so you should verify its presence on any used example you’re considering.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,354 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.92% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,230, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $13,263 sits slightly below last year's $14,403.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the SUV in strong condition, you can reduce the impact of that softer trend. The Grand Cherokee’s broad appeal and strong owner satisfaction should still help support demand when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The 2016 Grand Cherokee does not meet the criteria for a Top Safety Pick nomination from IIHS because of a Marginal rating in the small overlap frontal impact test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The available Advanced Technology package adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. That package meaningfully improves the SUV’s active-safety equipment, but it is optional rather than standard.

The main caveat is the IIHS small-overlap result, which is a real weakness you should weigh carefully if safety is a top priority.

Should I buy a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.92% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 stands out for its broad capability, especially if you want towing, off-road ability, or Jeep styling.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $11,720, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,263 average.
• It offers a wide trim-and-engine spread for buyers who want flexibility on budget.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $14,401, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $13,263 average.
• It leans more into a premium, upscale identity while keeping the Grand Cherokee’s rugged character.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of price, availability, and the Grand Cherokee’s core strengths, the 2016 is the sensible pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2015 is worth a look; if you want a more premium-feeling alternative and can spend more, the 2017 is the better comparison point.
