2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

If you're searching for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude for sale in Detroit, MI, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this capable and stylish SUV ready for its next owner — a low-ownership-cost, high-capability 4WD Grand Cherokee with 73,573 miles and plenty of road life left ahead of it.

About This 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude

The Altitude is one of the more desirable trim packages in the Grand Cherokee lineup, blending blacked-out exterior styling cues with a well-equipped interior at a price point that makes sense for buyers who want more than the base Sport but don't need to step all the way up to a Limited or Overland. At 73,573 miles, this SUV is well within the sweet spot for a used Grand Cherokee — these trucks regularly run past 150,000 miles with routine maintenance, meaning you're likely buying into the best years of ownership.

The Altitude package brings gloss black badging, black 20-inch wheels, and blacked-out exterior trim that gives the Grand Cherokee an aggressive, premium appearance without the premium price tag. It's a head-turner in Detroit traffic and on the highway alike.

2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Jeep's proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), producing 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this drivetrain delivers smooth, confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75, navigating surface streets in Midtown, or cruising on the expressway out of Metro Detroit.

The 8-speed automatic is a genuine improvement over older 5- and 6-speed units — it keeps the engine in its power band more efficiently, which translates to better fuel economy and more relaxed highway cruising. With full-time 4WD, this Grand Cherokee handles Michigan winters with authority. Whether you're dealing with snow on Woodward Avenue or navigating slush-covered side streets in Dearborn, the 4WD system provides real confidence when road conditions turn ugly.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude Features and Interior

Altitude-Specific Styling and Standard Equipment

The 2018 Grand Cherokee Altitude builds on the Sport with several meaningful upgrades. The blacked-out appearance package includes gloss black exterior trim, black roof rails, and unique 20-inch black aluminum wheels that set it apart visually from standard trims.
 

Interior Comfort and Technology

Inside, the Grand Cherokee offers a well-designed cabin that still holds up well against newer competitors. The Uconnect infotainment system is widely regarded as one of the best in the industry — responsive, intuitive, and easy to use while driving. Standard features on the 2018 Grand Cherokee include a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, USB inputs, and a multi-function steering wheel. The seating position is commanding, and rear passenger space is genuinely comfortable for adults on longer drives across Wayne County and beyond.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

The Grand Cherokee has earned a strong reputation among SUV buyers who prioritize capability and longevity. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is one of Chrysler's most thoroughly sorted engines — it's been in production since 2011 and has a well-documented track record of durability when oil changes and basic maintenance are kept up to date.

Owners of this generation Grand Cherokee (2014–2021 WK2 platform) consistently report satisfaction with the ride quality, interior refinement, and towing capability. Common ownership considerations include keeping up with transmission fluid services and monitoring the transfer case, both of which are straightforward maintenance items. With 73,573 miles, this vehicle has been broken in nicely — any early manufacturing quirks are long past, and the drivetrain is in its stride.
