Used Jeep Grand Cherokee: the years to buy and the years to skip

Every Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2011 to 2025, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $7,000 to $38,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2015–2021, 2023–2025. Look harder at or skip 2011–2014, 2022.

2022–2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee

An upscale SUV with a much nicer cabin, big screens, a quiet ride and real off-road skill.

Years to target: 2023–2025. Look harder at or skip: 2022. It has a below-average reliability record.

Worth knowing

  • Skip 2022. The first year of this redesign had many recalls and electrical problems.
  • Air suspension and complex electronics can be costly to repair out of warranty. Fuel economy is modest with the gas engines.

The trim we'd park in our garage

Look for the Limited: it adds leather, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel and a power liftgate over the Laredo and Altitude.

On the test drive

Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.

* Estimated from nearby years, since few were listed for sale.

Worth knowing

  • Skip 2011–2013. Early years had widespread electrical faults and a failure-prone power module.
  • 2011: owner complaints spike (1,639, mostly the electrical system).
  • 2012: owner complaints spike (1,641, mostly the electrical system).
  • 2014: owner complaints spike (2,375, mostly the seats and belts).
  • Diesel models had emissions recalls and costly repairs. Hemi V8s can develop lifter and camshaft wear, so listen for ticking.

The trim we'd park in our garage

Target the Limited: it adds leather, heated front and rear seats and a power liftgate over the Laredo. Choose 2014 or newer for the eight-speed automatic.

On the test drive

Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.

Safety tech

  • Automatic emergency braking: optional from 2014, never standard in this generation.
  • Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2011, never standard in this generation.
  • Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
