2017 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

If you're searching for a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit for sale in Detroit, Michigan, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this fully loaded Summit trim SUV ready for its next owner — a genuine full-size 4WD truck-based SUV that combines luxury appointments with serious off-road and towing capability.

About This 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit

The Grand Cherokee Summit sits at the very top of the Grand Cherokee lineup, meaning this isn't a base-model SUV dressed up with a fancy badge. Summit trim adds genuine premium touches — from upgraded leather seating and real wood trim to advanced safety tech and creature comforts that rival European luxury SUVs at a fraction of the price. At 131,295 miles, this SUV is well into its second chapter, but Grand Cherokee Summits with the 5.7L V8 are well-known among enthusiasts for reaching 200,000 miles and beyond with proper maintenance. For buyers in Detroit and Wayne County looking to maximize value in a premium SUV, this is exactly the kind of opportunity that makes sense.

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance and Engine

5.7L V8 HEMI Power in a Detroit Winter

Under the hood sits Jeep's legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with Variable Valve Timing — the same engine that has powered work trucks, police interceptors, and family haulers across the country for years. This engine produces around 360 horsepower and pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission that keeps it in its power band whether you're merging onto I-75 or hauling a trailer up north for the weekend. The 8-speed transmission is a genuine upgrade over older Grand Cherokee configurations — it's smoother, more fuel-efficient, and more responsive than the previous 5-speed unit. Combined with Jeep's Quadra-Trac or Quadra-Drive 4WD system, this Grand Cherokee is fully equipped for Michigan winters and Michigan roads alike.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Features and Interior

What Summit Trim Adds Over Lower Grades

The Summit is where Jeep stops holding back. Expect premium Nappa leather seating, ventilated and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and real wood and metal interior accents. Technology on the Summit level typically includes the Uconnect infotainment system with a large touchscreen, navigation, premium audio, and a full suite of driver assistance features. The panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning are hallmarks of this trim level — features that were considered genuinely cutting-edge in 2017 and remain highly desirable today. The rear seating area is genuinely spacious, and cargo room behind the third row is competitive in this class.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

What to Expect at 131,000 Miles

The 2017 Grand Cherokee has a solid long-term reputation, particularly when equipped with the 5.7L HEMI. The engine itself is known to be extremely durable — it's an evolution of a design Chrysler has refined over decades. Owners frequently report that with oil changes kept up and the cooling system maintained, this engine runs reliably well past 150,000 miles. At this mileage, a prospective buyer should pay attention to the condition of the air suspension (if equipped), the transfer case fluid, and brake wear — all normal high-mileage checkpoints. The 8-speed transmission is generally reliable but benefits from a fluid service at this stage. Overall, a well-maintained example of this vehicle represents excellent bang for the buck compared to buying newer.
