The 2000 Grand Cherokee was available in two trim levels, Laredo and Limited. Two engines were available, a six-cylinder and an eight-cylinder, and vehicles were equipped with two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
After a complete redesign in 1999, the 2000 Grand Cherokee received only minor appearance and equipment changes. The 4.7-liter PowerTech V8 was now available in two-wheel-drive versions and with the Selec-Trac transfer case in four-wheel-drive versions. New softer leather seat material was available and two new exterior colors were offered.
The Cherokee was the first unibody sport-utility vehicle, as distinct from the traditional body-on-frame approach. The advantages are much higher rigidity and much lower weight, which contribute to the Cherokee's good handling.
Although the basic Cherokee was available with rear-drive only, it wouldn't really be a Jeep without four-wheel drive. There are two levels of 4WD available for the Cherokee, part-time Command-Trac and full-time Selec-Trac.
Drivers report the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee is safe, comfortable, and reliable. They also say it gets low gas mileage and "things break."

What owners say
"Owners of the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee generally love its off-road capabilities, powerful V8 engine, and spacious interior. Many appreciate its reliability and decent towing capacity. However, the vehicle's gas mileage is a common complaint, with several drivers expressing frustration over the cost at the pump. Some also mention handling issues and the lack of advanced features typical in newer models."
To make this quick, this car saved my life. I was t-boned directly on the drivers door by a delivery van doing about 65 MPH as he blew through a red light. I ended up with some fairly serious injuries, but I've been told I should not have survived the crash.
August 21, 2008Has most features no power seats. Everything works. Has 4 wheel drive..
September 20, 2020so versatile and the best most reliable 4 wheel drive available. It has gotten me through soo much snow and mud and weather with the utmost confidence. And it's just awesome looking. But also space for cargo like skis, bikes, luggage. and of course people!

February 27, 2013V8 power is amazing and will snap your neck back anytime. tweak the tms and it will smoke all 4 tires. if your looking for a suv that is a gas sipper go buy a honda. if you want awesome power and nice comfy leather with heated seats that will burn your ass buy one. 137,500 miles and the transmission is still perfect even if everyone says they are crap.
January 21, 2010Performance is great, the Legendary 4.0 is just an amazing engine. very reliable, and torquey, plenty of power, and reasonable gas mileage. The interior is extremely high quality for a Chrysler product. I've never had much trouble with Jeep interiors, but this one takes the 1st prize. The ride quality is also very smooth. For a solid axle Jeep 4x4, it rides very nice. It actually rides a lot smoother than my buddy's 4x4 Liberty with IFS. I think it's one of the best looking Grand Cherokees, the only thing I don't like visually is how low the gas tank hangs, to accommodate the spare being under the rear floorboard. Like I said, reasonable mileage, I can get 22 or so on the highway, and up to 18 on the streets, though I usually don't. It's a blast off road, the full time 4wd option makes it great in foul weather, it's an awesome Jeep I definitely recommend it over any other mid-size SUV in it's class.
October 5, 2009This car is simply amazing. The monstrous V8 puts out a good amount of torque and horsepower, as well as the quadra-drive is very effective. The gas millage is not the best (14.6mpg for me, but I drive aggressively), but is effective. There are no problems with the car unless you are aggressive, then your transmission could be at risk. All in all a great car for anyone.
September 18, 2008I like how my Jeep isn't a small car or a mid sized car. I like being able to drive down a road and see what's under me and around me. I love how the Jeep is the best at going onto rough surfaces, going through the ice and snow and deep water. A small car or truck couldn't do that so well. I dislike how I don't have a trailer hitch on my tail end like some other Jeeps of my year and model do. I dislike the gas mileage but that's my fault for choosing it even if the gas prices 2 years ago were cheaper. Other than that I love my Jeep!
June 14, 2008For the price, this car will be an excellent city car for hauling equipment. The features are all pretty basic for a 2000 model (I prefer having a cassette deck), and the stereo is in decent shape (I have to replace the tweeters). This car is similar to other midsize early 2000s SUVs like the Pathfinder, XTerra, or 4Runner.
March 20, 2023I liked it for quite a while...then gas prices soared. Regretted purchase every time I gassed up. Very nice to have the 4WD in winter. Handled like a champ. It walks right through snow & slush. Sitting up high for visibility is nice. I wish I would have went with the Subaru Forester.
January 25, 2015love the power...although it weighs 2.5 tons, the acceleration is impressive. a solide vehicle. comfortable ride, soft suspension...handles well...quattro...not costly to maintain as long as you maintain regularly. normal driving...not heavy on fuel...but when you feel the need for speed...V8...
