How much does the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 8.87% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,308 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.77/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the comfortable ride, spacious interior, and luxury features. You also see repeated approval for its performance, safety, and towing capability, which fits a vehicle meant to balance everyday comfort with Jeep’s more capable side.

If you want an SUV that can feel upscale without giving up rugged character, this model year lines up well with that use case. The market also shows 31.7% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

Owners rate it 4.77/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle people feel good about living with over time, especially because it is described as comfortable, spacious, and capable in ways that matter for daily use and towing. The expert drive notes also reinforce its durable, confidence-inspiring character through its off-road hardware and well-rounded setup.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific example you choose has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by hard use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

At 62.1% 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 overall condition, because this model’s appeal depends heavily on how well the cabin, drivetrain, and suspension have held up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and SRT performance trims, among others. The Laredo is the base trim and comes with fog lights, halogen quad headlights, 17-inch painted aluminum wheels, dual-zone automatic temperature control, a USB port, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. Higher trims add leather seating, heated seats, larger wheels, a panoramic moonroof, perforated Nappa leather, and the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, so base-trim shoppers should pay close attention to feature gaps.
• Powertrain: The model uses a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 293 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also find a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with 360 horsepower or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 with 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Multiple 4-wheel-drive systems are available, including Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes front and side impact airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, a reversing camera, and rear park assist. Available driver aids include forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and self-parking.
• Infotainment: The base setup is the Uconnect 5.0 touchscreen display system on the Laredo and Limited. It includes climate controls, stereo menus, settings, and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. Higher trims get the larger 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, which adds a more advanced interface and voice-command capability.
• Fuel efficiency: Some reviewers noted concerns about gas mileage, so it’s worth checking whether the specific configuration you’re considering matches your driving needs.

Which 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 6 trim levels: Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Trailhawk.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point, and it gives you the essentials without much luxury content. It makes sense if you want the Grand Cherokee’s core capability and styling at the lowest starting point, but you should expect the fewest comfort and tech features.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leather seating, power-adjustable front seats, heated front and second-row seats, and the Uconnect 5.0 touchscreen while staying below the more expensive luxury trims.
• Overland: Choose this if you want a more upscale cabin, since it adds LED fog lights, a dual-pane panoramic moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, perforated Nappa leather, and the 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
• Summit: This is the luxury-focused choice, with headlight washers, unique 20-inch wheels, chrome inserts, LED fog lamps, and an exclusive fascia design, plus the premium audio upgrade mentioned in the tech content.
• Trailhawk: This is the off-road specialist. It adds unique 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, skid plates, a matte black hood, red tow hooks, Quadra-Drive II, air suspension tuned for articulation, and trail-focused drive modes.

The safety content notes that you can get the Grand Cherokee with forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and self-parking.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,308 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.87% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,397, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $14,401 sits slightly below last year's $15,802.

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. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that pricing discipline matters: a clean, well-equipped example should still attract interest, but you may need to price competitively to move it.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.77/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a five-star overall crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and it earns a best score of Good from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in moderate overlap front, side, rear, and roof-strength crash tests.

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

Standard safety equipment includes front and side impact airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, a reversing camera, and rear park assist. Available features include forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and self-parking.

Should I buy a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.87% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.77/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert summary: It blends upscale comfort with serious off-road capability.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $13,263, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $14,401 average.
• It appeals most to buyers who want broad capability and Jeep styling.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value, capability, and owner satisfaction, the 2017 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2016 is the more budget-friendly alternative, especially if you find a clean example with the right equipment.
