The best thing about the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee are its IIHS Top Safety ratings. The vehicle's safety ratings are what made us want to purchase this small SUV after the birth of our daughter. We intended it to be a family vehicle, which is its main use. However, our friends tend to want to use it for girls and guys nights out as well. We all love the great features of the Jeep. The pros outweigh the cons ten-fold. The performance is stellar. We have had one mechanical issue that was covered under warranty and two recalls, also covered, of course. Other than that, the truck runs really well and it is very quiet. The cons mostly stem from when the features, such as voice texting and remote start, do not work. I often say that this SUV has really spoiled me and I prefer to drive it over our cars any day. I should also add that this is the first larger vehicle I have ever driven and it handles really well. I was terrified of driving an SUV at first but the ride is so smooth it didn't take long before I was comfortable driving it all over town as well as on family vacations, which my husband loves because he gets a break when I drive.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit edition is an awesome car with many luxury features that will appeal to anyone looking to buy a high quality automobile. The vehicle has been exceptionally reliable with no mechanical issues. The exterior has upgraded metallic paint and chrome. The headlights are LED and automatically sense when to use high beams or low beams. The windshield wipers are also automatic with rain sensors that adjust the speed of the wiper. The interior is upgraded with leather seats and dash. There is attractive wood trim that complements the look of the interior. The seats are very comfortable. The performance of the car is excellent with an eight-speed transmission and V8 engine. The vehicle is very practical for towing and around town driving. The fuel economy is about 15-18 miles per gallon when not towing. I use my car for towing my travel trailer and find that it is more than adequate to meet my needs. The car does not struggle with towing the 5,000 lb. trailer. It came with a tow package, so I did not have to do much to be able to tow with it. The gas mileage for towing is 10 - 12 miles per gallon. One downside to the car is that the GPS system does not always route me on the fastest or most practical route, but I am able to use GPS on my phone and select the best route. I can send this to the car using the Uconnect app.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland came standard with all the upgrades I was looking for when transitioning to an SUV. Jeep was the only brand we were considering but still had to decide between the Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee. We ultimately chose the Grand Cherokee because of the available options. The size played a big role and I felt that it did not seem excessively large or overbearing while driving. The upgrades included heated seats in front and back and cooling seats in front. I love the heated steering wheel in the winter, it helps more than you'd think. Having the remote start is awesome as well. Nothing beats having a warm car with warm seats waiting for you on a cold morning. The quality of the Grand Cherokee is great. We have had the vehicle for just over two years and have only had a minor wear and tear issue. The vehicle continues to run great.
