2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit

The 2018 Grand Cherokee is a mid-size SUV that blends everyday comfort with genuine off-road capability, a combination few rivals match. It lines up against the Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, and Chevrolet Traverse, but stands apart with its available V8 power and trail-ready hardware. On pavement the Grand Cherokee feels composed and quiet, with steering that is accurate if not especially chatty. The ride is generally smooth, though the firmer suspension on performance trims trades some comfort for sharper handling. The cabin offers up to five seats and a generous cargo area, with an available power liftgate and folding rear seats for added utility. The Summit sits at the top of the Grand Cherokee lineup below the SRT and Trackhawk, offering a luxury-focused cabin with real wood trim and ventilated seats that the Overland and High Altitude trims don't match. Its 5.7L V8 makes 360 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and Quadra-Trac II four-wheel drive, giving you strong highway passing power and genuine off-road capability while returning 17 mpg combined. The Quadra-Lift air suspension comes standard here, letting you raise the Summit for trail clearance or lower it for easier entry and better aerodynamics on the highway.
