How much does the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 8.61% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,401 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable 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, and they also call out 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 towing ability, or the Jeep styling and image. If those are the reasons you’re shopping, this model year fits that use case well.

Good and great deals account for 31.4% of listings, so there’s still some room to find a competitive price.

Is the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

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

Owner feedback also points to comfort, performance, and luxurious features, while describing the SUV as a strong fit for everyday use and rugged adventures. The expert test-drive notes emphasize that the Grand Cherokee is built for serious capability and that you should expect some compromise in return for that breadth of ability. The cost-effectiveness commentary also warns that reliability predictions are unimpressive, so used buyers should pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition.

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

At 59.5% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the truck has been used for towing or off-road driving. Focus on body condition, suspension behavior, braking feel, and signs of wear that could reflect harder use. If you’re considering a higher-trim example, make sure the added equipment still works as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Jeep sells this SUV in Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and SRT model series, and the Overland test vehicle shows how much the upper trims add with a 19-speaker sound system and an Advanced Technology package. The base versions are the ones most likely to leave you without those upgrades, so compare equipment carefully if you want the richer cabin and added convenience features.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.6-liter V6 makes 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, while the optional 5.7-liter V8 is for maximum towing capacity. The V6 tows up to 6,200 pounds, and the V8 raises that to 7,400 pounds.
• 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 optional and pricey, so verify whether a used listing has it.
• Infotainment: Uconnect uses an 8.4-inch color touchscreen in the Overland, and the system adds Siri Eyes Free and Do Not Disturb functions. It is easy to use, but the tech is aging and the Wi-Fi hotspot relies on a slow 3G connection.
• Fuel efficiency: Official fuel economy estimates rise to 21 mpg combined, and a test vehicle averaged 18.7 mpg during a week of driving.

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 richer equipment found higher up the range.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want a better balance of features and value, since it sits above the base model without jumping into the more expensive luxury-focused versions.
• Overland: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because the test vehicle shows it can bring a more upscale cabin, the 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, and available advanced safety tech.
• Summit: Choose this if you want the most premium-feeling Grand Cherokee short of the performance model and you’re willing to pay for it.
• SRT: This is the performance-focused choice, with track-ready intent and a much higher price, so it makes sense only if you specifically want that character.

The safety package is optional, so check each listing carefully if those driver-assistance features matter to you.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and pricing softness to reward careful shopping.

• Deal availability: 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,401 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.61% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,212, 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 $13,212 sits slightly below last year's $14,456.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you can reduce the impact of that depreciation. The Grand Cherokee’s broad appeal and strong owner satisfaction can 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 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not meet the criteria for a Top Safety Pick nomination from IIHS.

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

The optional 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 is a meaningful safety upgrade, but it is not standard. The key caveat is the Marginal small-overlap frontal result, which keeps this SUV from earning stronger IIHS recognition.

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:

• 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.61% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It offers broad capability, strong towing, and the Jeep styling buyers specifically seek.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $11,721, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,212 average.
• It offers capable, comfortable versatility with a wide range of trims and engines.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $14,438, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $13,212 average.
• It blends upscale comfort with Jeep’s rugged identity and adds Trailhawk appeal.

The bottom line: Buy the 2016 if you want the strongest mix of price softness, broad capability, and owner satisfaction. If your priority is saving money, the 2015 is the better value play. If you want a newer-feeling alternative and are willing to spend more, the 2017 is the natural step up.
