2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit

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. The Summit is the luxury-focused Grand Cherokee, giving up the SRT's track-ready muscle for a quieter, more opulent cabin and a lower price. Its 3.6L V6 makes 295 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, delivering a smooth, confident pull and 21 mpg combined. The Quadra-Lift air suspension is standard here, letting you raise the ride height for off-road clearance or lower it for easier entry.
