2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance and Engine

3.6-Liter Pentastar V6 With Variable Valve Timing

Under the hood sits Jeep's legendary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing — one of the most reliable and refined engines in its class. This engine produces around 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving the Grand Cherokee confident acceleration on the highway and more than enough muscle for towing lighter loads or handling Michigan backroads.

Paired with Chrysler's smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, power delivery is seamless and fuel efficiency is better than you'd expect from a full-size SUV. The 8-speed unit keeps the engine in its optimal power band at virtually any speed, making highway cruising genuinely relaxing. The 4WD system gives you real traction confidence during the kind of snow and ice conditions that Metro Detroit delivers every winter.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Features and Interior

What the Laredo Trim Includes

The Grand Cherokee Laredo is no stripped-down base model. Expect a well-appointed cabin with features like Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system, available Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control capability, and a rearview camera. The interior dimensions are genuinely generous — rear passengers have real legroom, and cargo space behind the second row is among the best in the mid-size SUV segment.

The Laredo's exterior carries the same bold Grand Cherokee design language as pricier trims — the upright front fascia, available roof rails, and wide stance give it a presence that's hard to miss on the road.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Grand Cherokee benefits from a generation of refinement on the WK2 platform, which Jeep spent years fine-tuning after its 2011 introduction. The Pentastar V6 is widely regarded as one of Chrysler's most dependable engines — it powers everything from minivans to trucks and has earned a strong reputation for longevity when properly maintained. Consumer reports and owner communities consistently rate this generation of Grand Cherokee well for overall satisfaction, particularly for ride quality and powertrain durability.

Prospective buyers should, as with any used vehicle at this mileage, budget for standard maintenance items — brakes, tires, and fluid services. The 8-speed transmission benefits from clean fluid, so confirming service history is worthwhile. Overall, a well-cared-for 2017 Grand Cherokee has plenty of life remaining and represents a smart long-term ownership proposition.
