How much does the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 10.35% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,863 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Yes — with a 4.6/5 user rating and a 6.3/10 expert rating, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee lands as an appealing but imperfect choice. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, performance, and luxurious features, and many also like the powerful engines and ride quality. The trade-offs are familiar: gas mileage is a weak point, and some drivers mention seating comfort issues for taller occupants along with build-quality concerns.

It fits you best if you want a midsize SUV that can handle both daily driving and serious off-road use, rather than a softer crossover. With 34.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still meaningful market activity around it.

Is the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable-feeling SUV with strong comfort, performance, and luxury appeal, and many drivers specifically value the powerful engines and overall ride quality. The expert notes also reinforce its durability-minded character through its traditional SUV setup and off-road hardware.

If you plan to keep one used, the main long-term ownership risk is that build-quality concerns and fuel economy complaints can affect day-to-day satisfaction.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

At 67.7% 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 listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, tire wear, and whether the equipment level matches the trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup spans from the Laredo to the Summit, with additional variants in between, and the higher trims add more premium materials and equipment. Base versions are more likely to leave you wanting if you expect upscale features.
• Powertrain: The standard setup uses a 295-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 with an 8-speed automatic, while V8 options add much more power for buyers who want stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: ProTech I is standard and includes a reversing camera, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. ProTech II adds low-speed forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
• Infotainment: The system includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM satellite radio, and SiriusXM Guardian connected services.
• Fuel efficiency: The standard V6 returned 21 mpg in combined driving in testing, and the test vehicle achieved 19.4 mpg.

Which 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 10 trim levels: Laredo, Summit, Limited X, Trailhawk, SRT, Trackhawk, and four additional variants between the bookends.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the Grand Cherokee’s core styling and capability at the lowest starting price.
• Limited X: This is the best-value choice if you want a more upscale feel, since it adds the richer equipment and tech that make the cabin easier to live with.
• Trailhawk: Choose this if off-road use matters most, because it brings the hardware and setup aimed at rougher terrain.
• SRT: This is for you if you want high-performance character, since it sits in the performance-focused part of the lineup.
• Trackhawk: This is the extreme performance pick, with the most serious power and the most specialized hardware in the range.
• Summit: Pick this if you want the most premium-feeling version and are willing to pay for it.

ProTech I is standard on all trim levels, while ProTech II and Advanced ProTech II add more driver-assistance equipment as you move up.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and deal activity to reward careful shopping.

• Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,863 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.35% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 67.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,675, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $19,675 sits slightly below last year's $21,946.

That decline suggests the model has softened in the used market, which can be a challenge if you’re planning to sell later. On the other hand, a lower entry price can help you buy in at a more favorable point, especially if you choose a well-kept example with desirable equipment.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The Grand Cherokee earns an overall four-star rating from NHTSA, with a three-star rollover resistance rating on rear-wheel-drive versions. In IIHS testing, it earns a Marginal rating for driver protection and a Poor rating for front passenger protection in the small overlap frontal-impact test.

It earns a 3/10 safety score from our experts.

Jeep’s ProTech I suite is standard and includes a reversing camera, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. ProTech II adds low-speed forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights, while Advanced ProTech II adds full-speed forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, semi-autonomous parking assist, and rain-sensing wipers.

The main caution is that advanced safety features are not standard across the lineup, and the crash-test results are a real weak spot if safety is your top priority.

Should I buy a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 67.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.35% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2020 remains an appealing, if flawed, choice with strong off-road ability and a decade-old formula that still works for many buyers.

Consider the 2019 if:

• At $17,641, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $19,675 average.
• It is a rare SUV that performs admirably both on and off the road.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,654, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $19,675 average.
• It is the outgoing two-row version before the redesign arrives.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price and capability, the 2020 is the sensible middle ground. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2019 can save you money, while the 2021 makes sense if you want the final-year version of the older two-row formula.
