Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very capable off road	Very high running costs
The cabin is spacious for five	No seven-seat version
Plenty of equipment	Doesn't drive as well on the road as an Audi Q7 or a BMW X5

Quick Summary

The Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2020), the fourth-generation model, represents a significant step forward for the brand with modern mechanical underpinnings and a refined 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. Launched in the UK in 2011, it offers improved refinement and on-road manners compared to its predecessor, making it a more compelling rival to alternatives such as the BMW X5 and Volkswagen Touareg. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with impressive standard equipment including dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon lights, cruise control, heated leather seats, and Bluetooth connectivity. Optional features such as Quadra-Drive II four-wheel-drive, air suspension, and a 3,500kg braked towing capacity enhance its off-road credentials and practicality.

However, the Grand Cherokee struggles with interior quality, with much of the trim feeling cheap and the overall design lacking the refinement of European competitors. Running costs are substantial, with the 3.0-litre diesel averaging around 28.8mpg under WLTP testing and emitting 254g/km of CO2, resulting in hefty first-year tax payments. Depreciation is also a concern, as Jeeps typically lose value faster than European alternatives. Importantly, the model is only available as a five-seater with no option for a third row of seats. Despite these drawbacks, the Grand Cherokee excels for those prioritising off-road capability, towing capacity, and equipment levels, particularly when purchasing used examples at lower prices.

Best for: Off-road enthusiasts, those requiring substantial towing capacity, buyers seeking spacious five-seat comfort, and those prioritising equipment levels over on-road refinement.

Not ideal for: Buyers focused on premium interior quality, fuel efficiency, low running costs, or those needing a seven-seat configuration.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Grand Cherokee if: You prioritise off-road capability, require substantial towing capacity, seek spacious five-seat comfort, or value comprehensive equipment levels over on-road refinement.

Consider alternatives if: You are focused on premium interior quality, fuel efficiency, low running costs, or require a seven-seat configuration.

Competitive Position: The Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2020) is a capable and well-equipped large SUV that excels in off-road scenarios and towing applications. However, it trails mainstream European rivals such as the Volkswagen Touareg, BMW X5, and Audi Q7 in on-road performance, interior refinement, and efficiency. Whilst the Grand Cherokee offers excellent value as a used purchase and boasts impressive standard equipment, its high running costs, rapid depreciation, and lack of a seven-seat option make it less versatile than some competitors. It remains an excellent choice for those prioritising off-road adventure and towing capability over everyday on-road refinement.
