How much does the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 8.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,329 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

Is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Yes — the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 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, and they also call out performance and towing capability. In use-case terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want an SUV that can feel upscale while still serving as a capable tow vehicle or adventure-ready daily driver. The market also shows 32.6% of listings as good or great deals, which supports the case for shopping carefully.

Is the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a comfortable ride, spacious interior, and luxury features, and it also reflects confidence in the vehicle’s performance and towing ability. The expert evaluation also emphasizes Jeep’s long-running off-road capability and upscale interior character, which reinforces the sense that this model is built to do more than one job well. The cost-effectiveness notes also frame it as a strong value relative to similarly positioned SUVs.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific vehicle 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 60.5% 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 SUV has been used for towing or off-road driving. Focus on body condition, suspension behavior, and signs of uneven wear, since those are the kinds of issues that can matter most on a vehicle with this mission. It also makes sense to compare equipment carefully, because the Grand Cherokee’s trim spread changes comfort and convenience quite a bit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: 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. The Limited adds leather seating, power-adjustable front seats, heated front and second-row seats, 18-inch polished wheels, and a body-colored front fascia with bright insert. The Overland adds 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. The Summit adds headlight washers, unique 20-inch wheels, chrome inserts, LED fog lamps, and an exclusive fascia design. The Trailhawk stands apart with 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, skid plates, a matte black hood, and red tow hooks.

• Powertrain: The base engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 293 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also get 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. Rear-wheel drive is available, along with multiple 4-wheel-drive systems, 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, and a reversing camera. Available driver aids include forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and a self-parking feature. Some of those features are not standard on every trim, so check the exact build carefully.

• Infotainment: The base Uconnect 5.0 touchscreen comes on the Laredo and Limited and includes climate controls, stereo menus, settings, and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. The Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit get the larger 8.4-inch Uconnect screen. The base stereo is a 6-speaker unit, while the Trailhawk and Overland add a 506-watt Alpine premium audio system with 9 speakers and a subwoofer, and the Summit upgrades to an 825-watt Harman Kardon system with 19 speakers.

• Fuel efficiency: The source does not state MPG or MPGe figures.

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 core Grand Cherokee experience at the lowest starting price. It makes sense if you want the nameplate, the basic comfort features, and the standard Uconnect setup without paying for extras.

• Limited: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leather seating, heated front and second-row seats, and power-adjustable front seats without jumping all the way to the pricier luxury trims. If you want a more upscale cabin for daily use, this is the trim to focus on.

• Overland: Choose this if you want a stronger luxury lean, since it adds the panoramic moonroof, perforated Nappa leather, LED fog lights, and the larger 8.4-inch Uconnect screen. It suits you if comfort and cabin ambiance matter more than keeping the price down.

• Summit: This is the most premium-feeling mainstream trim, with unique exterior details, headlight washers, and the upgraded Harman Kardon audio system. It fits you best if you want the richest feature set and are willing to pay for it.

• Trailhawk: This is the one to buy if you care most about off-road hardware and trail-focused capability. It adds all-terrain tires, skid plates, Quadra-Drive II, air suspension tuned for articulation, Selec-Speed control, and terrain modes for Snow, Sand, Mud, Rock, and Automatic.

The Trailhawk also gets the most clearly trail-focused safety and capability setup, while the standard trims are better if you want a more conventional luxury-SUV balance.

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 with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,329 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,142, 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 $14,142 sits slightly below last year's $15,464.

That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer now but may temper what you can expect later as a seller. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may be better positioned to limit depreciation. Trim choice and condition will matter a lot, especially because higher-spec versions can appeal to a narrower pool of future buyers.

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 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 features include forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and self-parking. If you want the most advanced driver-assistance setup, make sure the specific trim and option package actually includes it.

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:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.77/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert review highlights a broad lineup, strong off-road identity, and the Trailhawk as a standout expression of the model’s character.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $12,975, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $14,142 average.
• It offers broad capability and strong image for buyers who want towing, off-pavement ability, and Jeep styling.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around shopping position, the 2017 is the better target because prices have eased and the model still delivers the comfort-capability mix that makes the Grand Cherokee distinctive. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2016 is the better value play, especially if you find one in clean condition with the equipment you want.
