2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
I own a 2016 Jeep GC Summit and anyone considering a Jeep has to understand what kind of vehicles Jeep builts. I agree that the only direct competitor is from Land Rover, Why? Because they have to be true off road and on road vehicles and other mid side SUV's just don't qualify for that, the 2016 Grand Cherokee will laugh at Explorer, Traverse, Sorento, even the new Telluride and Palisade on off road performance and yes some will think of 4 Runner, well the GC will laugh at it on on road performance and that's exactly what we have to make clear here. The Jeep is focus on all rounded packages, our GC went from heavy rain to snow and off roading within a week and took everything with no problem and this is the Summit trim wich is more luxury oriented than off road. Equipped with the QuadraLift suspension and different terrain settings which are amazing IF you have use for them. Interior quality is top notch and do not underestimate the Pentastar V6 as I did, I had a 2007 GMC Envoy Denali with the mighty and greate all aluminum 5.3 V8 before the GC, the Jeep is faster and feels more alive. Jeeps are for people that appreciate Jeeps and they capabilities. If you want to save gas, or go extreme off road (except Wrangler on this coment) or just a calm, serene vehicle on road look somewhere else but if you want a vehicle that is able to take you almost anywhere and is comfortable on trips of 2000 miles one way like I have taken it is hard to beat plus let's be honest if you are looking for a 2016 GC is because we know they look fenomenal I got a Jeep instead of a Land Rover because they looked better to me. Calm on the road and monster on the trails it's got to be a Jeep.

Moving from 2014 to 2016 GC

I bought a 2014 Limited V-6 with 20" wheels, sunroof, tow package two years ago with 113K miles. I love the way, GC drives and feels. It is very quiet at highway speeds, comfort seating position with great left foot room to stretch while driving. Build quality and interior material is much better than average. Its 25 gallon tank has gone 620 miles before fill up. I honestly can say that there is no SUV out there that has the luxury or the right feel of 2014- present Grand Cherokee. The remote start has an excellent range. My only complains about 2014-2015 Grand Cherokee are: 1) Confusing centering gear shift. No matter how much I watch and pay attention to gear shift selection, sometime I still find myself in Reverse instead of Park. 2) Thump-Thump noise from rear suspension! that is annoying. The 2014 one has 128K miles on it and I just bought a 2016 GC 75th year anniversary trim level with Luxury Group and tow package and guess what.... The shifter is a new version but rear suspension noise is still there.

We bought this 2016 Limited - 75th Anniv edition with 80,000 miles, but all of them were highway driving and the price was reduced accordingly, making it possible to get a much nicer vehicle than the older Grand Cherokees we had been looking at. We sought out the 5.7L Hemi V8, as the V6 didn't really make us happy. We found that the V6 had "adequate" acceleration, but that was the best we could say. It had to work hard to get up to speed quickly, and was very noisy under full throttle. The V8 gets there faster, has great passing power, and for a rating of 3 MPG difference, we immediately dismissed the V6 and only looked at V8 models. We're delighted we did that. This is a very comfortable road vehicle, and we especially like the stable, low vibration ride and road feel due to the Mercedes-designed chassis. The controls and large touch screen work nicely, and the physical knobs on the controls are a nice addition. USB ports are thoughtfully placed on the front console and the end of the center console. The paddle shifters on the steering wheel are extremely easy to use, and their logic of operation is excellent. I actually like their setup and operation better than the functions on my wife's 2009 BMW 3-series! Three things remind us this isn't really a sporty or driver's car, it's a utility vehicle: first, the seats are pretty flat and there is a slight tendency to slide around rather than feeling well located in the seat. 250-pound guys will like it, but I miss the seats in my BMW 3-series (probably an unfair comparison.) Second, the gas pedal is a couple of inches closer to the driver than the other pedals, resulting in a slightly awkward "pulled back" angle for the driver's right leg. This becomes noticeable on longer drives, and there should be a "dead pedal" for the left foot so the driver can adjust the driving position to match. Third, the electrically boosted power steering conveys practically no road feel at all, and it's over-boosted and too easy to turn. Putting the Jeep into Sport Mode increases steering effort slightly, and that's what the normal steering feel should be like. I use Sport Mode in town because it provides faster throttle response and better engine braking, but on the road it would penalize gas mileage. I know that most drivers won't be bothered by these things, and the Jeep is so well made and solid that the overall comfort and driving experience is truly enjoyable. We've had no maintenance or repair issues yet, but all cars require periodic work, and we're not worried about it. The critical factors in a vehicle like this are the engine and drivetrain, and the Jeep's engine, transmission and drive axles are among the most robust in the world. We're looking forward to many years of Jeeping, as our last Grand Cherokee ran like a watch at 188,000 miles when we sold it. Update a year later: the GC has run faultlessly, and we've found that highway and freeway driving at 75-80 MPH can yield 24 MPG, which is excellent for a vehicle of this size. We love the Hemi's grunt when we need acceleration (or even when we don't, and just do it for fun.) The high gas pedal still bugs me, so I use cruise control whenever possible on road trips, as it's much more comfortable than holding my right leg in position for the high pedal. I have used the voice controls in the car, and they work reasonably well. We found that if you sync two cell phones to it, you have to designate a primary; if you get an incoming call on the secondary phone when both are in the car, it won't auto-connect and you need to answer the phone manually, without using the car's speakers and mic. I haven't paid for the Uconnect app functions, so I'm not using it. After you buy their car, they ought to provide app functionality at no additional charge. But overall, we really enjoy the GC and use it more than we thought. It turns out to be the perfect vehicle for 5-passenger trips, cargo hauling, or night trips when we want more elevation above other vehicle lights for our 60+ year old eyes. Update after 18 months: the Jeep is now at 100,500 miles and performs flawlessly. Highway driving at up to 80 MPH is usually around 23 MPG, although town driving is more like 16 (no surprise.) We have had no repairs at all. I'm getting ready to have all the driveline fluids replaced along with spark plugs since we just crossed 100K miles. The Grand Cherokee is really a do-everything vehicle, as it handles highway travel well, carries loads and can navigate any weather.
