How much does the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 7.62% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,266 listings available, which suggests solid inventory availability for shoppers comparing options.

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, and luxury features, and they also highlight performance, safety, and towing capability. That lines up with the Grand Cherokee’s broad appeal: you can shop it as a comfortable daily SUV, a more upscale family vehicle, or a capable option with real trail-ready character.

The market also shows 32.7% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to find value if you compare carefully.

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 people feel good about living with over time, especially because it is described as comfortable, spacious, and capable. Reviewers also repeatedly mention performance and towing strength, which reinforces the sense that this is a vehicle many buyers can count on for more than just commuting.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Grand Cherokee’s well-rounded capability and upscale character, which supports the idea that it is built to serve as both a daily driver and a long-haul SUV. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that you should expect some compromise in fuel economy and interior-material quality.

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

At 59.8% 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 focus your inspection on bodywork, panel alignment, and signs of prior repair. Because this model is often bought for its comfort, capability, and towing use, it is worth paying close attention to wear on the interior, suspension, and any equipment that may have seen hard use.

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. Higher trims add leather seating, heated seats, a panoramic moonroof, larger wheels, and more upscale lighting and interior materials.
• Powertrain: The base engine is 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.
• 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 Uconnect 5.0 touchscreen is on the Laredo and Limited, while the Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit get the larger 8.4-inch Uconnect screen. The system includes Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, and higher trims add premium audio.
• Fuel efficiency: The Trailhawk’s air suspension and off-road hardware are aimed more at capability than efficiency, and the owner feedback also points to gas mileage as a drawback.

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 price. It makes sense if you want the model’s style, space, and capability without paying for luxury extras.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leather seating, heated front and second-row seats, power-adjustable front seats, and a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the premium trims.
• Overland: Choose this if you want a stronger luxury lean, with the 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, perforated Nappa leather, a dual-pane panoramic moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, and LED fog lights.
• Summit: This is the most upscale mainstream choice, with unique exterior details, headlight washers, chrome accents, and the premium audio setup.
• Trailhawk: Pick this if off-road capability matters most. It adds Quadra-Drive II, a two-speed transfer case, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, air suspension tuned for trail use, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and Selec-Speed control.
• SRT performance trims: Choose this only if you want the performance-focused version of the Grand Cherokee rather than the comfort-and-capability trims above.

The Trailhawk is the standout safety-and-capability trim, while the Limited is the best all-around value for most used buyers.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it rewards comparison shopping.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,266 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.62% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,134, 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 $14,134 sits slightly below last year's $15,300.

That price movement suggests the model has softened enough to create a more buyer-friendly entry point today, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy well now, you may have a better chance of limiting depreciation pressure later because you are starting from a lower market baseline.

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 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:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.62% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2017 adds a standard backup camera and rear parking sensors, plus the Trailhawk trim’s upgraded off-road hardware.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $12,870, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $14,134 average.
• It appeals to buyers who want broad capability, towing strength, and the Grand Cherokee’s styling and image.

The bottom line: The 2017 is the better pick if you want the strongest mix of value, equipment, and broad trim choice. If your priority is simply spending less, the 2016 is the more budget-friendly path, but the 2017’s updated equipment and market pricing make it the more balanced used buy for most shoppers.
