How much does the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 11.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,506 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

Is the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Yes — with a 4.62/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating, you’re looking at a used SUV that lands well with owners and still scores respectably with our testers. The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

Owners repeatedly praise the spacious interior, smooth ride, impressive power, off-road capability, advanced technology features, and luxury feel. The main trade-offs are that some shoppers felt it was missing a few premium features for the price, and gas mileage can be a weak point.

That mix fits you best if you want a familiar, established two-row SUV with upscale character rather than waiting for the redesign. With 34.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also a decent amount of market flexibility.

Is the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

Owners rate it 4.62/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable-feeling SUV that many drivers feel good about living with over time, especially because it’s described as spacious, smooth, and capable. The expert review also reinforces that it feels like a well-rounded all-arounder with strong everyday usability and the tools you need for adventure.

Jeep’s customer care program includes free scheduled maintenance for the first three years and 36,000 miles of ownership, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the bigger long-term risk is less about durability and more about 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 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

At 74% 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 careful inspection of bodywork, lighting, and any signs of prior repair. Because this SUV can be used for commuting, towing, and off-road driving, condition can vary a lot from one listing to the next. Focus on how the vehicle was equipped, how it was maintained, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Laredo and Limited are the value-oriented trims, while the Overland and Summit move you toward a more premium feel. The Summit adds a more upscale cabin presentation, but the base trims are where you’re most likely to see feature gaps.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.6-liter V6 makes 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, while the available 5.7-liter V8 makes 360 hp and 390 lb-ft and adds stronger towing and more muscle.
• Safety package: Jeep offers ProTech II with adaptive cruise control with full stop-and-go, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high-beam headlights. Advanced safety features are not standard.
• Infotainment: Uconnect 4C with Nav includes navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, and Jeep Skill for Amazon Alexa. The system is responsive and easy to use.
• Fuel efficiency: The V8 is rated by the EPA at no more than 17 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 8 trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Laredo X, 80th Anniversary Edition, Overland, Summit, Trailhawk, and Summit.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point if you want the Grand Cherokee’s style and capability at the lowest price, but it’s also where you’re most likely to miss out on the richer equipment and safety content found higher up.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it balances everyday comfort, features, and price without pushing you into the more expensive luxury-oriented models.
• Laredo X: Choose this if you want a value-focused step up from the standard Laredo with a little more equipment.
• 80th Anniversary Edition: This is the pick if you want a commemorative version with added appeal and don’t mind paying a bit more for the special-edition treatment.
• Overland: This is the right move if you want a more upscale Grand Cherokee with a stronger luxury lean.
• Trailhawk: Choose this if off-road capability matters most, since it’s the trim aimed at serious trail use.
• Summit: This is the luxury choice, with the richest cabin presentation and the most premium feel.
• Summit: This is the top-end comfort pick if you want the most upscale version and are willing to pay for it.

Jeep notes that advanced safety features depend on trim level, so verify the exact package on any listing before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully but still enough pricing softness to create opportunities.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,506 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 74.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,505, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $22,505 sits slightly below last year's $25,443.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may pressure future resale if you overpay today. If you plan to sell later, buying near the low end of the range gives you more room to preserve value. A well-kept example with the right equipment should still attract interest because the Grand Cherokee has broad appeal and a strong reputation for capability.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.62/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA with 4WD, but 2WD versions drop to four-star overall ratings because of a three-star rollover resistance rating. It also earns a Marginal driver rating and a Poor front-passenger rating in IIHS small-overlap frontal testing, and its headlights rate Poor unless you upgrade.

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

Jeep offers ProTech II with adaptive cruise control with full stop-and-go, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high-beam headlights. The Summit test vehicle had the full package, but availability depends on trim level.

The main caution is the weak IIHS performance, especially in small-overlap frontal crash testing and with headlights on some versions. If safety is a top priority, you should verify the exact equipment on the listing and not assume every Grand Cherokee has the same protection features.

Should I buy a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 74% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.62/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It’s the last version before the redesign, so you get the familiar two-row Grand Cherokee with strong styling and capability.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $20,476, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $22,505 average.
• It’s an appealing but flawed choice that’s nearing a redesign.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $27,145, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $22,505 average.
• It brings a redesigned cabin with a major technology and sophistication upgrade.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, familiarity, and available inventory, the 2021 makes sense. If your priority is saving money, the 2020 is the cheaper route. If you want the newer design and tech, it’s worth stretching to the 2022 instead.
