What Jeep Grand Cherokee do most buyers choose?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee years with the most listings are 2022, 2024, and 2023.

• Tech: Jeep continues to rely on the long-lived Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which still has an easy-to-use interface with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
• Safety: Jeep says it improved the behavior of Active Drive Assist to more seamlessly transition to lower levels of automation when needed.
• Starting price: The Laredo trim starts at $40,410 with the mandatory $1,995 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
