How Long Does the Grand Cherokee Last?

You can expect your Grand Cherokee to last about 15 years or more if you’re an average driver. The Jeep Grand Cherokees achieved over 150,000 miles on the road. Many owners with high mileage Grand Cherokees report that they can drive their SUVs for years without carrying out major repairs, underscoring that this Jeep is a reliable and durable vehicle.

Some reports have pointed out that overall, the percentage of Grand Cherokees that reach 200,000 miles is slightly lower than the average vehicle. For example, Vehicle History notes that 0.9% of Grand Cherokees reach 200,000 miles compared to 1.2% of other vehicles.

This small difference doesn’t indicate that Grand Cherokees are less reliable than other cars. It has more to do with how drivers use them. Most take them off the beaten track to tackle rough terrain or tow heavy loads. These tasks tend to cause more wear and tear on a vehicle than driving on a city road or the highway.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Service Tips

The most effective way to get your Grand Cherokee to 200,000 miles or beyond is to stick to a regular maintenance regime. Routine maintenance is even more important if you use your Jeep for off-roading or towing since it gives our professional team of auto technicians a chance to resolve any problems before they get serious. Regular multipoint inspections help us monitor your Grand Cherokee’s overall condition.

Your attention to maintenance should start right after you purchase a new or used Grand Cherokee. After between 5,000 and 7,500 miles of driving, you should get the engine oil changed and the tires rotated. This amount of driving equates to about six months. Oil changes are vital because they help keep the engine’s parts well-lubricated, avoiding unnecessary wear and tear. Tire rotations help avoid uneven wear, which can result in your Grand Cherokee’s tires requiring replacement much sooner.

Important maintenance tasks you’ll need to consider include brake pad changes and fluid flushes for the brakes and steering. Wearing parts or external debris can contaminate the brake and steering fluids. Brake pads typically wear out after two or three years of driving, although this can vary depending on your driving habits. As your Jeep gets older, you’ll need to monitor the condition of the transmission belt and tires. The engine and transmission may also require servicing.

One of the most effective ways to keep on top of maintenance is to purchase an extended warranty. These service contracts give you added protection for your Jeep once the three-year factory warranty and five-year powertrain warranty expire. The extra protection an extended warranty offers can boost your Grand Cherokee’s longevity, giving you time to get more miles on the odometer before buying a new car.

Grand Cherokee Performance and Interior Features

The latest editions of the Grand Cherokee feature a V-6 engine in their base setup that can put out 293 horsepower. This unit offers solid acceleration and towing abilities, but you may prefer to step up to the optional V-8 for added performance. This engine puts out 357 horsepower and comes with four-wheel drive, which will help you cover long distances during your next off-roading adventure. A plug-in hybrid version consisting of a four-cylinder engine and two electric motors is also available to improve fuel economy for your daily commute around Carmel.

Inside the cabin, the Grand Cherokee has plenty of room for you and your family to travel long distances in the coming years. There are approximately 37 cubic feet of storage behind the second row of seats, so you’ll have enough space for luggage during your next road trip or vacation. The spacious two rows of seats provide enough room for up to five passengers. And with the extensive array of infotainment features, everyone will stay entertained during those long drives.

Most Reliable Model Years for the Grand Cherokee

If you don’t intend to purchase a new Jeep Grand Cherokee, you can still obtain a pre-owned vehicle capable of covering long distances in the future. Jeep has been building the Grand Cherokee for over 30 years, giving this vehicle no shortage of time to prove its reliability and durability in practice.

Based on the number of complaints the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported, there are several Grand Cherokee model years you should look out for when shopping for a used Jeep. The 2013 model year proved very reliable, as did the model years from 2016 onward. This pattern is quite typical for Jeep’s cycle of Grand Cherokee production. A new model came out in 2011, meaning that by 2013, the automaker had the chance to iron out a few minor issues that emerged after the vehicle’s release.
