"Very good and responsive"
Anonymous, OH (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"very fast with great acceleration and great braking."
William D., NJ (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"It has great get up and go."
Anonymous, SD (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Absolutely stunning acceleration 3.7 0-60 real life at 5000 foot altitude. Amazing that you can buy something like this right off the shelf. No mods. Amazing set up to make it a nice GT style vehicle or put it in “track‿ mode and it turns Into an animal. Rock hard suspension and blistering take offs. Like riding a missile. Also, super good looking and simply understated. Nothing better than the window roll down and the “what the heck is that!!??‿ Question. Plus you can drive it normal in a business suit and fit right in. Old school muscle power in a Jeep. Can’t explain why, you have to experience it and then you have to have it. What an amazing machine! Only thing better would be 2. But I can’t talk the wife into one."
Ryan F., UT (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"The acceleration for the 3.6L engine is more than adequate. It is not uncommon to get 24-26 mpg on trips between N. VA and FL. The safety systems i.e. adaptive cruise, lane change warnings, etc., enhance the positive driving experience. I have never purchased a new vehicle that did not have some manufacturer "defect" until this one. It has been service two times by the Jeep dealer for scheduled oil changes and tire rotation. No complaints."
Anonymous, VA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Great power and handling and excellent fuel efficiency for the horsepower."
Anonymous, CA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Handles quite well for a large SUV. Acceleration is quite good."
Jim S., OK (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Love the automatic eco engine feature. I live on a winding road in a hill area and the sport feature is great for this stretch of my drive! Handles curves well."
Patricia S., CA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"acceleration and handling outstanding. gas mileage not very good"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"I chose the 3.6 V6 over the Hemi choices because after driving all the versions, I thought this one would suit our driving style."
James E., PA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Acceleration could be a bit zippier."
Anonymous, TX (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"3.6 Liter engine has good acceleration"
Anonymous, NC (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"pick up & go"
Ted H., ID (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"excellent exhaust note and acceleration."
Anonymous, WI (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Acceleration is funky...have to press the accelerator just so, or it lags badly. There is no quick acceleration into traffic with this car!"
Anonymous, NH (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"The 3.6 L engine is the best option if towing is not a frequent requirement."
Micheal M., NV (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"acceleration is good for a v6 and handling is precise"
Anonymous, CA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"It’s acceleration is great it’s smooth and gets up to speed quickly. Comfortable and good sight line and above all the safety features that make me a more confident driver.. it’s so sweet we call her Sugar."
Nina L., FL (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"I like handling & acceleration also ride color, great vehicle.,"
Larry H., AB (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Sometimes the Jeep turns itself back on after I have pushed the button to turn it off, and sometimes I press the button several times before the Jeep will turn off. The dealership doesn't know what to do and Chrysler doesn't care. I will never buy another Chrysler car."
Denise G., PA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"the 5.7L hemi provides great acceleration, hill climbing, and passing capability. My main reason to own the hemi is to tow my boat. There are VERY few vehicles of this size that can tow over 7000ilbs. for the 99% of the time when I'm NOT towing, I don;t want to drive around in a huge Expedition or Suburban. The tow package also provides increased braking."
Anonymous, OH (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Good pick up. Smooth ride"
Nicole Z., PA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Fantastic brakes And cornering ability"
Alan M., FL (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"HEMI is FAST!!"
George H., NJ (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"The very short turning radius is awesome. Can park it easily. Has plenty of punch on the highway. Absolutely love the 25 gallon fuel tank."
Anonymous, SC (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Great acceleration and handles great"
Steven M., NJ (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"accelerates like a V8. Transmission is smooth. Handles more like a sports car than I thought a JEEP would. Turning radius is great - makes parallel parking and tight pull in parking very easy. Looks great and is very comfortable."
Anonymous, NY (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Excellent pickup, ride and handling with many extras, e.g. paddle shifters."
Michael W., FL (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Great acceleration on all occasions. Handling is very responsive and can program options."
William H., MI (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"The active safety features (brake assist forward collision warning, auto-parking, and adaptive cruise control) work great! The lane departure kickback (it attempts to bump the steering wheel back so you stay in your lane) is a bit annoying and overly sensitive. When traveling slow over bumps and potholes you really feel it (and may spill your coffee or drink or upset pets and kids). But that may be true of any SUV."
Aaron B., CO (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Corners well, little leaning Accelerates well in Sport mode Tight turning radius All wheel drive works very well in areas with poor traction"
Arne H., WA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"It is simply a pleasure to drive, handles corners very well and can accelerate quickly."
C H., BC (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Blistering performance"
Craig H., FL (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"So easy to drive - short turning radius and very quick off the line compared to our Suburban. Only thing we miss is 4 WD"
Bruce N., LA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Plenty of power"
Charles K., HI (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"Steering, brakes, acceleration are very responsive. Great handling overall."
Anonymous, GA (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)"The acceleration is smooth and fast. I’ve never experienced a stall or any problems with acceleration. As far as handling - I love it! Very firm and smooth. The handling is better than any vehicle I’ve ever owned. Dodging road debris is sure and steady in my Jeep Grand Cherokee!"
Kelly T., MS (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)
"Very good off the line acceleration, handles nicely in deep puddles."
Brian B., FL (2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee)
