2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance and Engine

3.6-Liter Pentastar V6 and 8-Speed Automatic

Under the hood, the 2017 Grand Cherokee Laredo runs Jeep's 3.6-liter VVT V6, producing around 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers smooth, confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-94, cruising down Woodward Avenue, or heading out of the city on a weekend trip up north.

The 8-speed transmission was a significant upgrade for this generation, improving both performance response and highway fuel efficiency. Buyers coming from older V6 SUVs will notice a real difference in how refined this powertrain feels. The 4WD system adds traction confidence on slippery Michigan pavement, gravel roads, and light trail use — making this Grand Cherokee a genuinely versatile vehicle year-round.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Features and Interior

What the Laredo Trim Brings to the Table

The Laredo is the entry point into the Grand Cherokee lineup, but don't mistake entry-level for stripped-down. The 2017 Laredo comes well-equipped with Uconnect infotainment, a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, and a suite of driver-convenience features that hold up well even by today's standards.

Inside, the Grand Cherokee offers a genuinely premium feel — more so than most competitors in its class. The cabin is spacious, with comfortable front and rear seating, solid cargo room behind the second row, and materials that feel a step above typical midsize SUVs. The overall layout is intuitive, and the Uconnect system remains one of the more user-friendly infotainment platforms on the market.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the 2017 Grand Cherokee

The 2017 Grand Cherokee has earned a reputation as a durable, capable SUV when maintained properly. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is widely regarded as one of Chrysler's most reliable modern engines, and the 8-speed ZF-sourced automatic transmission has proven dependable across hundreds of thousands of real-world examples.

That said, buyers considering a higher-mileage Grand Cherokee should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, paying particular attention to the cooling system, transmission fluid condition, and the front differential. Known areas of attention on this generation include water pump wear and electronic module gremlins — both manageable issues that shouldn't scare off an informed buyer. With routine maintenance, a 2017 Grand Cherokee Laredo has plenty of life left at 133,000 miles.
