$70,000 for a Jeep is crazy, absolutely not 🖐🏽 !!!
Jeep is not doing bad cars design wise. Jeep is having reliability issues for sure. But what is killing Jeep is that they forgot and betrayed their buyers (searching a rugged, comfortable and somehow capable car at convenient prices) to run behind the one of companies like Cadillac or even Mercedes, Audi and BMW. But reality is that customers of these brands will not buy a Jeep and traditional Jeep customers will not buy such unreliable and pricey cars. Results is that Jeep is dying because they walked away from their own identity…
For Everyone complaining about the price, what other vehicle in this price range offers all of the features this has
Hyundai Santa Fe has grand Cherokee beat with features and price. After 15 years, I’m switching
For 70k??? How about the landcruiser…. Body on frame, hybrid and Toyota resale value…. 50k?? how about the new 4Runner also body on frame and Toyota resale value…45k? How about the new passport, n/a v6 with Honda resale value… Jeep did it to themselves now they get to sit in it
Only one has the Jeep name. That is the appeal.
@@tdub25 but do any of those cars even offer the features the Jeep has?
This trim of the Grand Cherokee really needs that Hurricane 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine from the Wagoneer & Grand Wagoneer to give it more performance. The 3.6L Pentastar probably isn't enough to move this heavy of an SUV, & the fact that you can get it so many Stellantis models doesn't help give it enough exclusivity when it's such a common engine. Other cars in this price bracket have more powerful engines without them being a V8
The vehicle in this video is worth $40,000 max.
It's more like $50k because of how much technology & how many features it has. This is $10-20k less expensive than an equivalent Range Rover Sport for example
I won't deny that is a very nice vehicle, but I can't even replace my 2015 JGC with a new one in the same trim. But if I did have $70,000, I can tell you I wouldn't be buying a Jeep. Don't get me wrong, I still love my WK2, but there are better vehicles to have at 70K.
You could get a german SUV for $70k lol
That’s why you negotiate a better deal
@@Orangematz with higher repair costs
@@XX-166 than a jeep? Lol. Might be a little close
@@Orangematz not even close long term
They have so many trim levels now. Let’s go back to 2006 when things made sense.
Bring back the Trail Rated package on the Overland and put the hurricane sst in it.
Love my 2023 overland. Very comfortable and great looking.
yes that was my fav model and opt, at one time the GC Laredo had a trail rated pack a working mans trail hawk
I own a 2022 GC - to many issues but the competition is way smaller than you mention - name me one, other than a Range Rover that is a real 4x4 and not just an AWD
I think you are confusing AWD with 4x4. This thing is AWD with a two speed transfer case.
GCs with the two speed xfer case are proper 4x4’s. Blazers, Passports, and Santa Fe’s are not.
@@AP-lh1bq
They are not 4x4. They are AWD with a 2 speed transfer case.
@@notme3184ok bud. You do you my friend.
The powertrain isn't as much of an issue as the pricing. I'm glad that Stellantis is adjusting their car prices, but they're still overpriced. Paying 70k for a fully loaded JGC seems excessive when you can get a BMW X3 or X5 for the same price with even more features
Jeep needs to bring back the off-road adventure package (trail rated) to the overland trim. And preferably also offer that package on a summit. why not offer luxury and off-road capability to those that want both?
Nah, the Wagoneer sub-brand is supposed to be the luxury arm of Jeep. The Jeep brand just kind of defines it's own premium sport military niche. (And that is why lots of megabrands would love to snap up Jeep for the portfolio.) It really comes down to what people cross shop a particular Jeep model with more than the label applied. The luxed out Grand Cherokees are nice rides for way too much money. With the demise of the Hemi V-8 and rise of the six pot it becomes harder to sell the high MSRP ones. At least it ain't a four banger.
Make it faster and look more aggressive! Fatter tires
To save money you don’t need multiple engines now and vehicles in general aren’t selling due to stealership greed, higher percentage rates, and a lack of viable credit ratings by the public who are extremely underwater on their loans.
Can I get one with an Atlas Transfer Case installed?
Jeep will never be a luxury brand never 🙄
I rented a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited L last month to drive from Miami to Orlando and any speed above 50mph the hood was shaking like it was not closed and I truly thought It was going to fly open while I was driving. I stopped at a service plaza to check and make sure it was really closed and it was but I guess the hood was made out of cheap metal or something but dang that was scary.
I heard stellantis stopped making overlands and summits and they are just building Laredo, Altitude and limited, since no one is spending more than 55k on gc’s….. Jeep thought 2021/2022 was gonna last forever and they got caught being greedy building only high margin models that no one can afford
Can you compare this to a xt5 or a Nautilus or something??
That's like calling Arby's fine dining.
Passport and Santa Fe may get cross shopped with GCs, but they are not SUVs.
I don’t love my 23 GC, but it’s growing on me. It’s a step into premium not even close to luxury, after 2.5 yrs and 25k mileage it drives horrible. It’s overwhelmingly under powered, too much piano black. The one sole reason I won’t get another jeep is not jeep itself but the dealerships, they ALL suck not one will get a half star review (Northeast). Car manufacturers should develop a shop online home delivery model with service centers, no more dealerships period
Jeep is crap now. Overpriced crap
Beautiful vehicle! Much nicer than the unreliable Range Rover !
Jeep built a family suv love the interior
Don't let your family near the center console, it'll get scratched up and look like shit if they even look at it.
Anything offroad capable is overpriced these days.
Don't fall for the trap I did it and regretted it. They are nice tho ... get the warranty !!!!
Jeep is trying to be too many things. That's the problem with all the (American) Stellantis brands. Jeep should definitely cater more twds AFFORDABLE Off-road capable suvs & they need fewer trim levels/packages. Dodge should be more luxurious honestly since they are usually powered by more expensive higher performance engines they warrant higher prices anyway & Chrysler should get axed & Pacifica could become a Jeep which would make it unique. I'm not sure why this hasn't been done already, Jeep could tap into a gray space with an off-road minivan & bring back the Commander nameplate with sliding doors 🤔
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL Summit Reserve High Altitude 4X4!
For that price I'll get a lexus
I’ll take my new Mazda CX70 w the inline 6/340hp over any of these new Jeeps now.
Looks just like the 2024. Are you sure it's the 2025? That glossy console is nice.. for 30 seconds... then it looks like cheap scratched shit.
All for a million dollars
They’re trying to be luxury vehicles, but their reliability is total crap 💩. 😮
🫡🫡🫡 True
I think they are overpriced
You can a Kia telluride fully loaded under 60k
Best suv built today. Extremely solid build quality. I’d take it over a Land Rover Discovery and a few others.
I'm gonna be honest these new thumbnails look really bad no offense
no they are a produce brand now..🍋🍋🍋🍋
I don't like the look of the new GCs. I also hate that infotainment and center console. It's a cluttered ugly mess.
Not at that price sorry.
Too much wood trim, especially on the steering wheel. Don’t need to feel like I’m in a cabin. 😂 PS Nissan Merano!
Jeep has the worst reliability out of all manufactures.
So you ask a question in the beginning of this video is Jeep a luxury brand. To be honest they should be there's no reason why Jeep should not be in the same position or looked upon as the same as Land Rover. Now if you check the history it it was Jeep that gave Land Rover their very first start it was Land Rover that borrowed the platform from Jeep back in the 1950s or 60s to start their company you can look it up so why should you not be as revered as Land Rover as a luxury brand I kind of hate how American Vehicles can never be viewed as the same level as Europeans . I think Jeep could be so better without the interference of that Italian brand that came over and messed everything up those people who are part of stellantis need to go back to their own country we all know how Italian cars and their reliability is
