About the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a suv that earns a Carivo score of 7.4/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.0/10. It's a capable but unexceptional suv — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. The reliability picture is solid rather than spectacular: 7.0/10, which puts it comfortably above the class median. Safety lands at 8.0/10 — solid, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard. Confirm official results for your trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
With 7.3/10 for performance, this is a car tuned for daily driving rather than excitement — perfectly capable on the commute, unremarkable on a back road. At 7.0/10 for technology, the infotainment and driver-assist package does its job without setting benchmarks — check which features cost extra on lower trims.
Priced from $40,012–$49,961, 22 MPG, seating 5, the Jeep Grand Cherokee sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. At 7.2/10 for value, it delivers fair pricing for what's on offer, though the best alternatives in this price range score slightly higher. At 3 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Verdict: The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee sits in the middle of the field. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.

How It Ranks Among SUVs
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee ranks #1166 of 2454 suvs in the Carivo database — better than 53% of the segment. Its 7.4/10 overall score is exactly at the segment average of 7.4/10. Its $40,012 starting price is about 11% above the segment's median of $36,079.
