It is probably one of the best SUVs on the market right now, for a number of reasons. It is perfectly sized for a couple or small family. It has been out for a number of years, therefore many of the kinks of been resolved. Let's not forget about its 4WD capabilities, plus it actually has decent tech, despite its age. It is still a handsome SUV, IMO.

We test drove the new GrNd Cherokee and it had very little leg room inside. In fact, the entire inside felt small for such a big car. We then test drove the WK Limited and loved it. That’s what we ended up getting. It’s comfortable, lots of toys, and a lot of power.

My brother has a 2017 grand Cherokee and I have a 2014 explorer and this generation of the grand Cherokee is one of the best suvs out there. The new one I’m honestly not a fan of the new one but the WK will always be one of the best you can get out there. Perfect size, great looking, and just a solid vehicle in pretty much every aspect.

I've had a good run with my 2015 Grand Cherokee Hemi. Trading it for the 392 Rubicon. It is a very comfortable, plenty of room. It has been fairly reliable. I cross shopped it against the x5, Discovery, and Benz. I felt it was a good value for the money. I don't care for the new redesign.

The auto body style is perfect Jeep needs to continue making that body style. It works it looks great it's comfortable it's functional. This is our 7th Jeep and we have the WK Overland Summit. It's one of the best Jeeps we've ever had. If cheap discontinues his body style I don't know where we're going to go from here.

I have a 2022 black on black GC Limited 4X4. Bought it in March. I LOVE IT! Her name is Pearl and she is perfect in everyway. Had been looking at the new body style and never did like it and that had stopped me from buying a 2022 GC. Pearl is everything I wanted. The front of the new style looks it someone set on the hood and bent the front grill out to me.

I have a 2015 Altitude edition, and it's the 1st vehicle (including other Grand Cherokees I've had) that I'm still in love with after 7 years. The only thing I wish I had was the newer flush 8.4 inch screen which makes the interior look more updated. The WL is not my cup of tea. It's not that it looks bad, and I'm sure they'll sell a ton of them, but for me the slab sides are a turn off. It's lost its muscularity and looks too much like every other SUV. The WK2 viewed from the side had a sporty, in motion, hunkered down look and the rake of the grill/windshield/lift gate glass added to that. The new one has a more feminine look. Obviously the WK2 rides on a very old platform, but it was a damn good platform to begin with and my 7 year old Jeep still feels as solid as when I bought it and it's a touch faster to 60 than the new one. Before I bought it, the body style made me drool and lust after it. I had to have it. The new one does not do the same for me. I wish it did. While the new interior looks amazing, all the piano black will be a nightmare to keep clean from fingerprints and dust. Anyone who's had to deal with it in the past knows that it's easy to scratch and needs care when cleaning. Guess I'll keep mine until the next redesign. Hopefully Jeep won't wait another 10-12 years this time for a redesign.

Had a ‘11 Laredo AWD (new body style), absolutely loved it. Drove it for five years, then the wife drove it for another five years. Other than a transfer case gasket, it was reliable. We traded for a Pacifica so our older GSD could get in and out. Fast forward, special ordered a ‘17 Trail rated Overland 5.7. Have had a multitude of problems. A/C, thermostat, EVAP hose, multiple air suspension problems. Big bucks for the air suspension! Love the Hemi but may just trade for a WK. Or maybe not. The service at two different dealerships was the worst I’ve ever experienced. A dent in the quarter panel at one dealer, though they owned up and repaired it, and the other,OMG, grease all over both exterior and interior and broken plastic parts and clips. Hell, I may just get a Lexus GS 460 next time, just for the dealer experience. Awesome, comfortable SUV, but buyer beware!

Ben Hardy The WK still has that classic look of past Grand Cherokees. While the WL has confusing design language like the WK and WL had an illegitimate baby. The front fascia of WL doesn’t work with the rest of the WK body. It looks great on the Grand Wagoneer but not on the GC. I highly doubt that you will respond to my comments.

Jeep should secretly make the Hellcat and accompanying trackhawk drivetrain available as an option without all the flashy advertising (as in not specify it as a trim level but more so a performance package and then sell it as a normal 2022 JHC WK 4X4; a last hurrah for the model). Man what a kick ass decision that would be. One can dream lol

Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven Grand Cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand Cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling.

The high attitude is an overland with the Altitude package so it is fancier and comes standard with more features than the regular altitude. The altitude is based off the Laredo that’s why it’s much cheaper.
