How much does the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 10.33% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,674 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Generally — the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 6.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise its smooth ride, spacious interior, and extensive features. The model’s broad appeal also comes through in its mix of everyday usability and capability, since it is positioned as an SUV that works well on pavement and off it. At the same time, the overview and owner feedback both point to pricing concerns and some missing equipment at the price.

With 33.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively if you want the strongest value.

Is the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use, with praise for its smooth ride, spacious cabin, and feature content. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that it is easy to drive every day while still being capable when you need it to be, which supports the case for long-term usability. The cost-effectiveness notes also frame it as a model where value depends heavily on the version you choose.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that condition and maintenance history matter a lot more than the badge alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

At 63.5% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the equipment level matches what the seller claims. Because this model can vary widely by trim and options, it is worth confirming the exact feature set before you commit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Laredo starts the lineup, while higher trims add style, luxury, off-road capability, or performance. The Limited X is called out as the best value because it sits where value, style, equipment, and capability intersect, while the base Laredo is more of a price leader unless you add the right packages.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 3.6-liter V6 with 295 horsepower, and upgrades include a 360-hp 5.7-liter V8, a 425-hp 6.4-liter V8, and a 707-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The 8-speed automatic is standard, and 4WD systems vary by trim.
• Safety package: Standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is included, and the Advanced Active Safety Group adds parking assist, adaptive cruise control with full stop, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and rain-sensing wipers. Some of these features are optional rather than standard, depending on trim.
• Infotainment: The Laredo gets a 7-inch touchscreen, while other trims add Uconnect with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio, voice recognition, and navigation. The system is described as quick and easy to use, and higher trims can add premium audio.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 setup is described as averaging 18.3 mpg on one testing loop and 17.4 mpg in city-heavy driving, with a combined rating of 21 mpg mentioned in the performance notes. The source also notes that 4WD reduces city and highway figures by 1 mpg each.

Which 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 12 trim levels: Laredo, Altitude, Trailhawk, Summit, Trackhawk, Limited X, Laredo E, Laredo X, All-Weather Trail Rated Package, Limited, SRT, and 4WD.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point, with a 7-inch touchscreen and the core Grand Cherokee formula. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price, but you will likely want to add equipment to get closer to the model’s strengths.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want a balanced mix of comfort, features, and everyday usability without jumping into the pricier luxury or performance models. It sits in the part of the lineup where the Grand Cherokee’s value proposition is strongest.
• Limited X: This is the best-value trim. It adds the performance vented hood, revised bumpers, unique 20-inch wheels, special leather seats, and the kind of equipment mix that best captures the Grand Cherokee’s style-and-capability appeal.
• Summit: Choose this if you want the more luxurious side of the Grand Cherokee lineup, with the upscale focus that the source associates with the higher-priced versions.
• Trailhawk: This is the trim for buyers who care most about off-road capability. The source specifically identifies it as the model’s improved off-roading variant.
• SRT: Pick this if you want the performance-focused version with the 425-hp V8 and the braking upgrades mentioned in the test-drive notes.
• Trackhawk: This is the outrageous performance choice, with the 707-hp supercharged V8 and a price that pushes well beyond the rest of the lineup.

The safety package note to keep in mind is that the Advanced Active Safety Group adds several useful driver-assistance features, but some of them are not standard on every trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

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

• Deal availability: 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,674 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,641, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $17,641 sits slightly below last year's $19,674.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that pricing momentum has softened, so condition and equipment will matter more when you go to list it. Well-kept examples with desirable trims and features should still draw attention, but you should not expect a strong appreciation story from this model year.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a Marginal rating from IIHS for small-overlap frontal-impact protection for the driver and a Poor rating for the front passenger, and it earns a three-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA for rear-drive versions.

It earns a 4/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is included, and the available Advanced Active Safety Group adds parking assist, adaptive cruise control with full stop, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and rain-sensing wipers. Those features help, but the crash-test results are a serious caution for used buyers.

Should I buy a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.33% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 stands out for its broad mix of everyday usability and off-road capability.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $19,675, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $17,641 average.
• It adds a more up-to-date take on the same formula, with a broader emphasis on versatility and style.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the stronger buy because prices have softened and inventory is healthy. If you are willing to pay more for a newer model year, the 2020 is the cleaner alternative for shoppers who want to stay closer to the next iteration of the same SUV.
