Hemi is awesome engine!!
The High Altitude with the Hemi and sport mode is addictive. 2nd GC I've owned, and the WK2 platform is by far the best. The air suspension is smooth, and handles great regardless of what the road throws at it. Sport mode drops it a little over an inch, and tightens everything up nicely. Fuel economy while on the highway w/cruise on averages about 25mpg after Corsa exhaust was installed (23 before). Acceleration is very good, braking even better. Fit and finish of the interior is on par with the Audi and Mercedes I was considering. This is what a GC should have been all along. Handles winter perfectly, both snow and ice, on factory tires. Edmunds rates all GC's as 3.6 as the only option. This is the 5.7 Hemi V-8 w/the 8 spd auto w/sport shift.

Never thought I would own a jeep
Was coming out of a 2010 Pathfinder and I liked it but the new ones? Not so much. As a an afterthought I looked at the Grand Cherokee Limited, test drove it and took a shot, the price was right. I have never been a jeep fan but, so far, after 2 months, I cannot find anything wrong with this car. Its comfortable, looks great, drives great. The technology package is awesome and the more I use the GPS the better I like it. Not sure what Jeep did to turn it around but its working. So far, it has been terrific

I hate the start stop
I love every thing about this except the start stop function and that is my reasoning for the lower rating. It just is not working for me. It hesitates on start stop when you want to accelerate fast from the (A mode /Start /Stop Mode) into heavy traffic. The engine just can not start fast enough to react. The button to turn if off is deactivated on each start which is a problem. If I could turn it off forever I would have the perfect SUV. I was told everyone wanted this to save gas that is why they installed it. Well I like good gas mileage but lets be honest. Are you really buying this for gas mileage? Buy something else if you are if you are! It is a JEEP!

Great SUV - Not liking the Stop/Start function
I recently leased two Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredos, one 2015 that I loved so much that I also leased a 2016 to replace our second car. I had leather seats placed in both which are much more comfortable than the cloth seats. Both the 2015 and 2016 are identical with the exception of the gear shift and the stop/start functionality, and back up camera on the 2016 model. I previously owned at 2000 Grand Cherokee and was pleased to see that these models are larger, steadier and roomier than the one I had before. The ride is very smooth. Can't say enough about how happy I am with this vehicle. I am likely to buy this out at the end of the lease if I remain this satisfied. I gave teh Grand Cherokee an overall score of 4 based on the start/stop function. I really hate this function, especially in the stop and go traffic here in Florida. It starts as soon as I take my foot off of the brake but with that, it still takes a second for it to start and take off. Overall when running, the V6 engine has sufficient pickup for me. I also felt that the led lights should be standard on all models of Grand Cherokee at this price base.

3-1/2 years, still a great car
Bought my V6 GC Limited new in 2016. Now has 31,000 miles on it, and I still love it. 18-20 MPG puttering around suburbia (cold weather drops the MPG to 18), 26-27 on a trip. No mechanical problems thus far, and I still get compliments on the colour (Granite Crystal). It's a comfortable day-to-day driver and a fantastic road trip companion. I've towed a small trailer with it (for about 500 miles) and it did very well. My selling dealership periodically sends me e-mails offering me the sun and moon to trade it in, but I have no interest in replacing it. Other than another GC, now with Apple Car Play, there isn't a vehicle out there at any price that captures my interest. As long as it continues to be reliable, I'll continue to enjoy it.
