How much does the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 7.34% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,252 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 4.8/5 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, luxury features, performance, safety, and towing capability. That lines up well with the Grand Cherokee’s role as a broad-appeal SUV that can cover both upscale daily driving and more rugged use. If you want a vehicle with personality, capability, and a premium feel, this model year fits that use case well.

32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still meaningful value on the market.

Is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in everyday use, with many drivers describing it as comfortable, capable, and satisfying over time. Reviewers also highlight its performance and towing ability, which reinforces the sense that it can be counted on for more than just commuting. The main caution is that some owners mention gas mileage and interior material quality, so long-term ownership can still involve compromises if you expect luxury-car refinement without tradeoffs.

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

At 59.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a careful inspection of bodywork, alignment, and signs of prior repair. Focus on condition first, because this model’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and whether its equipment still feels tight and complete. If you are comparing multiple listings, the cleanest example is often worth paying more for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup spans Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, SRT performance trims, and Trailhawk. The Laredo is the base trim and includes 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 touchscreen, while the Trailhawk stands apart with all-terrain tires, skid plates, a matte black hood, and red tow hooks.
• Powertrain: The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with 293 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also find a 5.7-liter V8 or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. Rear-wheel drive is available, and Jeep’s 4-wheel-drive systems range from the base setup to more capable low-range hardware.
• 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. Some of those features are not standard on every trim.
• Infotainment: The base Uconnect 5.0 touchscreen comes on the Laredo and Limited. It includes climate controls, stereo menus, settings, and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. Higher trims move to the 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, which adds a larger interface and more advanced usability.
• Fuel efficiency: No MPG or MPGe figure is stated in the available data.

Which 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 7 trim levels: Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, SRT performance trims, and Trailhawk.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Grand Cherokee experience 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. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the lineup and do not need the extra luxury or tech.
• Limited: This trim adds leather seating, power-adjustable front seats, heated front and second-row seats, 18-inch polished wheels, and a body-colored front fascia with a bright insert. It is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds the comfort features most buyers will notice every day.
• Overland: This version steps up to LED fog lights, automatic high beams, a dual-pane panoramic moonroof, 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, rain-sensing wipers, perforated Nappa leather, and the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. It suits you if you want a more upscale cabin and richer equipment without going all the way to the top trim.
• Summit: The Summit adds headlight washers, unique 20-inch wheels, chrome inserts, LED fog lamps, and an exclusive fascia design. Choose it if you want the most luxury-focused presentation in the lineup.
• SRT performance trims: These are the performance-oriented versions in the lineup. The available data identifies them as a distinct performance trim family, so they are the right pick if you are specifically shopping for that character rather than the mainstream comfort-focused trims.
• Trailhawk: This is the off-road-focused choice, with unique 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, skid plates, a matte black hood, red tow hooks, Quadra-Drive II 4-wheel drive, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, air suspension tuned for articulation, and Selec-Speed control. It is the trim to buy if trail use matters most.

The safety equipment is strong overall, but some driver-assistance features remain optional rather than standard, so check each listing carefully.

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

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,252 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.34% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,097, 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 $14,097 sits slightly below last year's $15,214.

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 further depreciation. The best resale outcomes usually come from well-kept examples with clean history and desirable equipment.

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 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a 5-star Overall crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It also 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 driver-assistance features include forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and self-parking. The main caveat is that some of the more advanced aids are not standard across the lineup, so you should verify the exact equipment on any used listing you consider.

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:

• 32.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.34% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The Trailhawk stands out this year with its off-road-focused hardware and air suspension tuning.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $12,835, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $14,097 average.
• It appeals to buyers who want broad capability and strong towing confidence.

The bottom line: The 2017 is the better all-around pick if you want the strongest mix of value, satisfaction, and equipment breadth. If your budget is tighter, the 2016 can still make sense, especially if you are prioritizing capability over newer-market pricing.
