Owners who end up with a middle-grade Grand Cherokee are likely to be happy with its driving dynamics- Autoblog

All trims of the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee feature a 3.6L V6 engine which can churn out 295 hp and 260 lb-ft. of torque. There is also a 5.7L V8 that puts out 360 hp and 390 lb-ft. of torque. As standard, all trims get married to an 8-speed automatic transmission and are available both with RWD and 4WD options.

As soon as you get your hands on the SUV, you experience a weighty steering wheel that feels good to hold but does feel detached in its abilities. Despite this, the Grand Cherokee does perform splendidly while off-roading. Its ride quality is not the best in the segment but it handles pretty well. 

In spite of a brawny engine, the Grand Cherokee fails to put out an impressive acceleration due to heavy curb weight. From a standstill, it reaches the 60 MPH mark in 7.6 seconds while the quarter-,ile test is finished in 15.9 seconds. The brakes work perfectly and the SUV takes 125 feet to stop. 

The Grand Cherokee stands out with its unmatching towing capacity. The Ford Edge also stands out but with regards to performance thanks to its punchy engine. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and the Nissan Murano are equally competitive. The Murano is a good choice for those who do frequent towing.

With a high curb weight and two old-school engines, the Grand Cherokee never delivered stellar gas mileage figures- Carbuzz

In the contest to be the most fuel-efficient car in the segment, each player in the market offers stiff competition and it is difficult to announce a certain winner in the category. The Jeep Grand Cherokee manages to average 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. Combined, its efficiency is rated at 21 MPG. 

The optional V8 is rated at 14 MPG in the city, 22 MPG on a highway, and 17 MPG combined. It also features the largest fuel tank in the segment that has a total capacity of 24.6 gallons. Consequently, it covers 467 and 640 miles in the city and on the highway respectively, which is really good for a tourer. 

Among its rivals, the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is the most efficient player but it delivers the least range owing to its small tank. The Nissan Murano and the Ford Edge stand head-to-head in this section while the Grand Cherokee is the least efficient, probably in this segment.

Build quality is top-notch in the Grand Cherokee- Edmunds

The cabin of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is absolute bliss. An electro-chromatic rear-view mirror with dual illuminating vanity mirrors and an 8-way adjustable seat and multi-level heating make the ride an absolute delight. The front seats of the Grand Cherokee SUV are overstuffed with padding and sufficiently wide yet it doesn't lose its firmness. 

There are easily accessible levers for the reclining rear seatbacks. The middle seat in the rear is good but enough for an adult. There is generous headroom for the front passengers in spite of the high seating position. Even the rear passengers have enough space. The dashboard has a refined and sophisticated design and puts all necessary knobs and control switches in the driver's vicinity.

Being a utility vehicle, it is expected to be very practical and useful with the availability of sufficient cargo space and the Grand Cherokee SUV succeeds in this aspect perfectly. You are greeted with 36.3 cu-ft. of trunk volume. Fold the rear seats and you get 68.3 cu-ft., which is a bit less compared to its rivals. The infotainment system of the Grand Cherokee SUV showcases the ease of use. 

The availability of the rear seat dual-screen entertainment is just amazing. The 5-inch touchscreen display is standard and there is also an 8.4-inch touchscreen available. It features Uconnect Access which provides Wi-Fi in the car. However, the absence of standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto may irk some potential buyers. Some of the notable interior features include:

• 8-way adjustable power driver and passenger seats
• Multi-level heating
• Rear ventilation ducts
• Split-folding rear seatback
• 2 one-touch power windows and heated mirrors
• External temperature display
• Electrochromatic inside rearview mirror
• Dual illuminating vanity mirrors

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2017 Nissan Murano

The Nissan Murano is not as athletic and engaging to drive as the Grand Cherokee but it certainly offers a comfortable ride. The cabin sports very comfortable seats and intuitive tech features. Like the Grand Cherokee, it lacks standard safety features and has below-average cargo space. 

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2017 Ford Edge

The Ford Edge is a good rival to the Grand Cherokee due to its agile handling and athletic performance. It also boasts good fuel economy and a large cargo hold but its interior quality cannot match the Grand Cherokee. Moreover, standard driver aids are limited in the Edge like the Grand Cherokee 

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport offers a lot for a lesser price. It touts a roomy interior and plenty of standard features. On top of that, its cargo capacity is also better. Both the engines are potent and fuel-efficient. Safety-wise, the Santa Fe Sport offers more driver-assist features than the Grand Cherokee.
