2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

The 2017 Grand Cherokee is Jeep's upscale midsize SUV, slotting above the Cherokee with a more premium cabin and a wider range of powertrains. It competes with the Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, and Chevrolet Tahoe, offering a blend of on-road comfort and genuine off-road ability. The Grand Cherokee rides smoothly on pavement, and the available air suspension adds a plush feel, though the SRT's firm setup prioritizes handling. Inside, the cabin uses quality materials and offers generous passenger space, with a cargo area that suits family duty. Available tech includes a responsive touchscreen infotainment system, plus driver aids like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. Stepping up to the Overland from the Limited adds real luxury touches like ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and the Quadra-Lift air suspension for a plusher ride. The optional 5.7L V8 makes 360 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving the Overland strong passing power and a 7,200-pound tow rating. The Quadra-Lift air suspension lets you raise the body for off-road clearance or lower it for easier loading, and the Selec-Terrain system tailors the driving feel to snow, sand, or mud.
