MikesCarInfo This makes my 3rd viewing of this video. Very informative! I am a F150 lover! But after watching this review. Jeep Grand Cherokee changed my heart! From the Ivory white color 2 the interior of the vehicle, and sophisticated electronics! As the year's go by Jeep Grand Cherokee, get's better and better! One thing thou? How do u take the tire out if you would need 2.
This is EXACTLY what we mean by in depth review. Absolutely great videos and detailed. This is everything a consumer wants to see and do at the dealership without the pushy salesman. I felt like I was just in the vehicle exploring on my own. You got yourself a new subscriber!
I recently bought a 2018 Grand Cherokee Overland and love it. This is the most complete in depth look at one that I've seen anywhere and you did a great job on this as you do with all of your videos. Thanks for also posting a video of one of these at night as well!
Mike, Obviously this is a brand new 2018 Overland. I was wondering in future reviews if you could highlight the updates, changes of a new year model as opposed to the previous year. For example in this case the 2017 Overland (new) is very deeply discounted by dealers at the present time and it would be a benefit to know if the updates alone warrant the large extra expenditure. Of course each buyer will weigh this differently, but one could add it into the equation to make a decision.
No matter how many times I have watched your videos, I cannot get over how brilliant of you to develop the introductory clip of you reversing the car over the camera! This time I appreciated the opportunity to see where the parts of the 4x4 system lies in the Jeep. Thanks!
Mike, I love your car reviews but I wish you would test drive these cars and give us your on road opinion. I think that would greatly improve your channel.
I'm living in Antigua and I would love to get a 2016 model. I now have the 2005 model and am in love with this Jeep. Darn I love to push my ride so comfortable 💖 it.
My "17 Grand Cherokee tralhawk feels old now watching your video. Great idea by the way, never knew how nice the beige seats and wood trimmed looked. Mine is just black suede, nice but looks old.
Great job. You have a knack for this! Great voice too! Way more knowledgable than any of the salespeople I have spoken too! Jeep should hire you!!! SOLD!
I just bought my Jeep and this was WAY more in depth than what the dealer showed me. It’s a computer on wheels and will likely take months to figure it all out. Thanks for the insight. FYI get the extended warranty
Thank you for the in depth review. Interesting to note that in Australia (where I am) most of the specs mentioned/listed in this review of the overland are available as standard in the limited model plus a few more that (appear) to be only available as standard on your summit spec.
I have a 2015 fully loaded overland and I replace the front black grill for the new chrome one and replace my already 8.4 2015 uconnect system for the same one just with android and iphone play or whatever. Really nothing that I really miss front the new overland or the summit and less expensive. Few mechanical details here and there but so far my dealer has been awesome on fixing everything under warranty. Running like new overall awesome vehicle
Great review. I love the GC line. I own an 05 Limited with a 4.7 V8 and it has been an exceptional SUV. It currently has 140k mi and it is still wonderful. A little beat up but I'm looking to repaint it and spruce it up.
That's a beautiful jeep, but I think my 2011 hemi grand is the best vehicle ever made! I don't have air suspension, but fixing to install a 2.5 inch lift.
I traded in a 2016 Overland last week. I loved it but we needed more towing capacity, so looking at the 2018 Overland again but I hate hate those wheels. The Sterling Edition wheels are my favorite but it misses features, maybe a high altitude this time lol
Mike i currently own a 2013 grand cherrokee laredo with 76,000 miles in winter chili pearl and it has been good to me. I will soon trade my jeep in for a new 2018 grand cherrokee limited
I don't understand what's the different between the summit and the overland besides the body a little bit and the illuminated welcome door silks, other than that if you get a fully loaded overland is totally the same thing and of course less money because of the trim level badges I guess.
This is my 3rd complete viewing of this video. I'm researching jeeps prior to purchase and I'm perplexed about something. My focus has been Grand Cherokee-High Altitude trim level. The jeep website (build and price) says (basically) the High Altitude is Overland plus (+). However, in other videos the High Altitude does not have the Chrome Tow Hooks, the embroidery on front seat and overland badge on tailgate. I'm asking this question of you because in all your videos (that I've seen) you are detailed, thorough, complete and speak in a way I can understand. Any thoughts?
I've been owned a Wrangler over the past 10 years as my primary driver, my last Wrangler was a 16 Rubi Hardrock, and I just traded it in for a '18 Trailhawk with the Hemi in it. First impressions, dang i forgot how bad the ride is in my Jeep lol, the trailhawk drives like a dream. The Hemi's power is nice and a great upgrade from the v6 pentastar. I'm definitely glad I moved over to the grand cherokee trailhawk and i think one of my fav features added to the '18 from the '17 is the addition of apple car play, it's about time they added apple car play support to the UConnect system.
Test drove the Limited version up here in Canada today and I wasn't impressed with the Pentastar 3.6 litre 6 cylinder engine. Car was brand spanking new only 9km on it. When I went into sport mode the only difference was a sick sounding louder growl. It wasn't near as powerful as I had hoped. Everything else was pretty good with the exception of the smallish cargo capacity. I am 6'2" tall and I had to get on my tip toes to step in. Its definately big!
All city with no highway test because of traffic. Its heavy and lumbers around compared to the CR-V. And maybe just maybe it is all the TrackHawk videos I have watched!!! It is such a beauty I still haven't ruled it out.
Great review, I lease a 2015 JGC Limited. My wife and I really like it and it has enough room for us and our 2 small kids.The lease is up soon and we’re considering moving to the Overland trim.
Nice review. 1) FCA removed SD card slot and put an extra USB port(More flexibility?). 2) New Uconnect 8.4 system finally, I mean finally have Android Auto and Apple Car. 3) Capless fuel intake looks tiny different from 2016. Looks like FCA added one more shield thing on it, and the rubber seal. 4) This 20inch wheel is not as handsome as 2014-2016 five spoke design. But the 18 inch wheel spoke design however looks better than the 2014-2016, especially the 18-inch on TrailHawk trim level. 2017 20 inch wheel on Limited is just ugly(not sure if 2018 Limited is gonna have the same), my own opinion, not worth $1950. Stick with the 18-inch, looks better, more comfortable, better off-road capability, wider and cheaper choice on tires. 5) Removed flash light in the lower left hand side in cargo (rally used anyway).
@mikescarinfo How come when you get the Grand Cherokee Overland they give you the leather seats with the overland badge sticked into the front seats...And get the Overland emblem on the back tail gate...But when you add the high altitude package to an Overland and actually making it even more premium, they take away the Overland leather badge and tail gate emblem?
can you do an in depth look of 2018 jeep grand cherokee Laredo? (base model) and can you show us apple CarPlay in that model as well? I think a lot of people would be interested to see what they get when they opt for the base model.
Thanks Mike but I am skeptical about buying one because there are so many negative reviews about the Cherokee model in general, what is your true opinion about the basic Cherokee or the limited?
I prefer basic vehicles myself. Partially because of the price but also the simplicity. If I were to buy a Grand Cherokee I would get a base Laredo 4x2.
Mike i would Like to tell you that i am really impressed with your review it was very helpful and i will use that info when i trade my laredo in. You might be suprised to find out but I bought my first grand cherrokee used it was a 2009 with only 14,000 miles but i put about 30k on it and it had a lot of problems including that the water pump was bad when the water pump went bad it had 28k on the odometer there my family decided to trade it in for a 2013 larded and even though it would prove to be a good car we bought a special warranty that most dealers in south Florida do, as you may know i live in south Florida and southern Florida dealers offer a warranty which pays for a loaner while the dealer at which you bought your car works on your vehicle. My new limited which i am supposed to buy next week has a 45k sticker price because it has back up camera gps cross traffic alert blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning. I will post a video of my current grand cherrokee and i will post a video when i get the new one.
Nicely done! Short of a test drive, there doesn't appear to be any possible surprises. Believe it or not, my wife puts 30% of likeability on which side of the vehicle the gas goes in. Jeep has it on the correct side!!! It should be a national requirement for manufacturers.
Not really..The EPA put a hold on FCA diesel for emissions related software. The diesel model has been on hold until it get certified again. You may want to check up on this data..I thought you may of got word from the dealership there so...
Hardly any changes since 2011... I was hoping to see a big change. My 2013 looks just like this minus small headlight/fog differences and the Navi Screen/Dash. Outside of that, everything is the same.
Bad things? The ZF 8HP transmission is one of the best transmissions in the world. It is used by Rolls Royce, Maserati, Bentley, Aston Martin, Dodge SRT vehicles like the Hellcat as well as heavy duty RAM trucks. It can shift fast, has 8 gear ratios available, can skip gears, and can handle up to 740 lb-ft of torque. BTW the 2011 Grand Cherokee had a 5 speed auto.
MikesCarInfo many dealerships around my area have seen lots of them coming in for problems. In fact if you Google around you will see they've had nothing but problems with them
I just bought a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland High Altitude Edition! Please do a cover on one of those so I can admire my car even when I'm not near it lol
la10sooony we have to wait for Mike to do a video so we can see! I can't give away the spoil the details! It's the High Altitude which mine is pretty much the Summit so it's sweet
The Grand Cherokee has the ZF 8 speed transmission that is solid in my opinion. The same transmission in used in Rolls Royce and a lot of other luxury and performance brands.
I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I love the vehicle and absolutely hate the stop/start technology. My friend told me that it's now on his Ford and I see the 2019 GMC/Chevy Silverado will also have it. I had a 2013 Toyota Avalon hybrid and it was seamless from electric to gas. 5 years later...... I have a new vehicle that has this terrible stop/start technology. It changes your driving habits and you will soon learn how often you will turn your car off and this thing auto resets. You will start taking your foot off the gas at intersections to make sure your vehicle doesn't turn off and you will then take your eyes off the road to see if you turned the dumb button on. I will either need to go European or back to Toyota as they mastered this. I can't tell you how much I hate this feature!
I agree with most of what you are saying however I wouldn't confuse a hybrid vehicle with stop/start technology. They are not even remotely similar. Stop/start technology in Toyota vehicles are exactly the same. Stop/start technology was implemented in most vehicles, NOT from consumer demand but from government regulations.
Thanks alot for your explanation of this vehicle... you've done well...fallen in love with Jeep... thank G_d for Whites Americans...they are a blessing to me... long live America
I know they had a software issue when they were first released but they have been solid ever since. I drive one every day. It is the same transmission that is used in Rolls Royce, Maserati, Jaguar... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_8HP_transmission
I love the Jeep Overland and consider to buy it. However, I am not sure about the reliability of Jeep manufactured by Chrysler. Anyone has experience about the SUV and would like to share? Appreciate for sharing your thought.
almost no issues with overland 2014. But I would suggest to purchase extended warranty for 7 or 8 years bumper to bumper. Very nice and reliable vehicle. The fact chrysler has not changed much in Jeeps GC for like 5 years for now confirms that

good evening from there, please can you help me clarify if your cherokee overland uses the normal 60 amps wet battery or if it can use it or not
I think you put the icing on the cake. Getting a Grand Cherokee when I get back to the mainland. Your review is top notch. Very in depth.

I bought a jeep grand cherokee after watching your videos and I must say that I love it.
Thank you for watching my videos... I think you made a great choice with the Grand Cherokee :)
I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited after watching your video Mike. Thank you for all the information!
needs the security package
Thanks. Finally I may be able to understand this car after having it for nearly 4 years!
Gotta watch it a few more times. 😉👍💥
This is the only one Jeep I can buy it Mike.
No matter how many times I have watched your videos, I cannot get over how brilliant of you to develop the introductory clip of you reversing the car over the camera!

So happy they fixed the fascia and the shifter

Just purchased a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland“ Hemi truck” I’ve always wanted a grand Cherokee.
Mike please do a Trackhawk review! Love your videos keep up the good work!
Omg I just bought my jeep grand Cherokee high altitude and this helped so much
I’ve been waiting for a 2018 JGC review! Hopefully you can get your hands on the trailhawk and high altitude trim levels sometime
just another very well done video by MIKE super job and thanks
Great review. I love the GC line. I own an 05 Limited with a 4.7 V8 and it has been an exceptional SUV. It currently has 140k mi and it is still wonderful. A little beat up but I'm looking to repaint it and spruce it up.

Thinking about getting one of these but in a different color very very soon ! Thanks for the review !
I love this jeep an i love they way you showed it
Beautiful car.

Great video and valuable information! Thanks so much!!!
Excellent review helps me out a lot thank you
I traded in a 2016 Overland last week. I loved it but we needed more towing capacity, so looking at the 2018 Overland again but I hate hate those wheels. The Sterling Edition wheels are my favorite but it misses features, maybe a high altitude this time lol
I'm a biggest fan from Iraq
Always watching your videos ❤️
MrYmcmb90 really... Good.lol

Mike i currently own a 2013 grand cherrokee laredo with 76,000 miles in winter chili pearl and it has been good to me. I will soon trade my jeep in for a new 2018 grand cherrokee limited
excellent review.i wont have to talk to the dealer to much.
Fantastic review! I want a 2018 GC Summit now ;-)

Thanks for sharing your experience Paul.
Were you driving in mountains or steep hills?
All city with no highway test because of traffic. Its heavy and lumbers around compared to the CR-V. And maybe just maybe it is all the TrackHawk videos I have watched!!! It is such a beauty I still haven't ruled it out.
Would love for you to get a video of a Trackhawk when one comes in!!!
Amazing review mike . Keep up the good work .
I might be getting a 2018 grand cherrokee limited with blind spot and cross traffic alert and other safety features but in 4x4 and with the 5.7l hemi
Apple car play and android are not available in Canada. We also didn't have the ability to have any apps like travel link or weather.
Deny where are you living in Canada? apple working great there even in north.
Great review, I lease a 2015 JGC Limited. My wife and I really like it and it has enough room for us and our 2 small kids.The lease is up soon and we’re considering moving to the Overland trim.
My salesperson should give you 50% of the commission on my purchase! Great review!
I bought mine yesterday - the exact vehicle you reviewed - love it!.. thanks again.
@@mikec1299 Do you still love it? 2 years after? Would you recommend it?
What a great review. Thanks
Great review. Thanks. Have you reviewed the 2018 diesel motor?
Great review! When can you do the review for the 2019 JeepCherokee?
There should be one available in the coming weeks :)
That's actually a good idea. Put a camera on the ground and drive over it slowly. Good for when you are inspecting a car before buying it.
Wow automatic drivers side window up and down!!!
I like jeep chookee up to down I know up 4x4 Down sxt that real cool.
Very nice review, thanks
How is the reliability on the 2016 and newer? I hear bad things about the trans and electrical.
Nice review.
1) FCA removed SD card slot and put an extra USB port(More flexibility?).
2) New Uconnect 8.4 system finally, I mean finally have Android Auto and Apple Car.
3) Capless fuel intake looks tiny different from 2016. Looks like FCA added one more shield thing on it, and the rubber seal.
4) This 20inch wheel is not as handsome as 2014-2016 five spoke design. But the 18 inch wheel spoke design however looks better than the 2014-2016, especially the 18-inch on TrailHawk trim level. 2017 20 inch wheel on Limited is just ugly(not sure if 2018 Limited is gonna have the same), my own opinion, not worth $1950. Stick with the 18-inch, looks better, more comfortable, better off-road capability, wider and cheaper choice on tires.
5) Removed flash light in the lower left hand side in cargo (rally used anyway).
They also removed the rails in the rear cargo bay. Not a big deal as they would always get scratched and scuffed up when sliding cargo over them.

I don't have an 2018 yet but there is a 2017 which is about the same: th-cam.com/video/DO7mjWa7pHk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Mike but I am skeptical about buying one because there are so many negative reviews about the Cherokee model in general, what is your true opinion about the basic Cherokee or the limited?
I prefer basic vehicles myself. Partially because of the price but also the simplicity.
If I were to buy a Grand Cherokee I would get a base Laredo 4x2.

Thanks Patrick, I will be on the lookout for your video :)
Nicely done! Short of a test drive, there doesn't appear to be any possible surprises. Believe it or not, my wife puts 30% of likeability on which side of the vehicle the gas goes in. Jeep has it on the correct side!!! It should be a national requirement for manufacturers.
which one is better Grand Cherokee vs Range Rover Sport Dynamic
Nothing because they will get you stranded somewhere
Love the Grand Cherokee. My only complaint is the gauge cluster is getting a little long in the tooth. Thanks for the review Mike !
wtf you talking about. It still looks modern even by todays standards.
Do any of the Jeep Grand Cherokee trims have adjustable pedals?
Looks exactly like the same 2017 overland you reviewed last season! Tell me Mike...Can we get the diesel motor now in the 2018 model year?
Ecodiesel Grand Cherokee has been available for a few years now.
Not really..The EPA put a hold on FCA diesel for emissions related software. The diesel model has been on hold until it get certified again. You may want to check up on this data..I thought you may of got word from the dealership there so...
The paint may be nice but its harder to color match which is no good for an off road car that is more susceptible to scratches and heavy use.
thank you
Hardly any changes since 2011... I was hoping to see a big change. My 2013 looks just like this minus small headlight/fog differences and the Navi Screen/Dash. Outside of that, everything is the same.
This also has an 8 speed transmission.
MikesCarInfo good point. Hearing a lot of bad things about it too. Glad I have the 6 speed.
Bad things? The ZF 8HP transmission is one of the best transmissions in the world. It is used by Rolls Royce, Maserati, Bentley, Aston Martin, Dodge SRT vehicles like the Hellcat as well as heavy duty RAM trucks.
It can shift fast, has 8 gear ratios available, can skip gears, and can handle up to 740 lb-ft of torque.
BTW the 2011 Grand Cherokee had a 5 speed auto.
MikesCarInfo many dealerships around my area have seen lots of them coming in for problems. In fact if you Google around you will see they've had nothing but problems with them
Please provide a link. Your claims run contrary to everything I have read and experienced at dealerships for the past 4 years.
I just bought a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland High Altitude Edition! Please do a cover on one of those so I can admire my car even when I'm not near it lol
Btw I love your videos
Patriot1776 loool. What is this edition? What's the differences if I may ask?
la10sooony we have to wait for Mike to do a video so we can see! I can't give away the spoil the details! It's the High Altitude which mine is pretty much the Summit so it's sweet
Outstanding review!
How much more is it for the v8?
Magnífica máquina! Quero uma ...
Please welcome me to the family you just gained a new subscriber 🤝
Thanks.
Guess this was pre-yellow pointy finger Mike.
Cool
Ok I subbed and turned bell on
This reviewer might replace the owners manual?
Really like the interior and color on this model. Not a fan of the all black interiors on these.
is it that the overland grand Cherokee is hybrid as i am not seeing the place for battery and you did not mention battery location
The battery is located under the passenger seat.
sir thank for the quick response but is the battery rechargeable or is it the normal battery or it is electrically charged?
Just a normal 12v battery
so i would not be too good for use in places like africa where we use 60 amps wet battery. am i right. sorry for my series of questions
I don't know. My understanding is vehicles have fairly standardized components throughout the world.
Mike I'm thinking about getting one of these next month, is it true that the transmission is a problem on these models?
The Grand Cherokee has the ZF 8 speed transmission that is solid in my opinion. The same transmission in used in Rolls Royce and a lot of other luxury and performance brands.
Amazing review
Nice review. Does it have auto beam?
I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. I love the vehicle and absolutely hate the stop/start technology. My friend told me that it's now on his Ford and I see the 2019 GMC/Chevy Silverado will also have it. I had a 2013 Toyota Avalon hybrid and it was seamless from electric to gas. 5 years later...... I have a new vehicle that has this terrible stop/start technology. It changes your driving habits and you will soon learn how often you will turn your car off and this thing auto resets.

Stop/start technology was implemented in most vehicles, NOT from consumer demand but from government regulations.
Thanks alot for your explanation of this vehicle... you've done well...fallen in love with Jeep... thank G_d for Whites Americans...they are a blessing to me... long live America
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, they all have the same transmission and that transmission has serious problems! They look nice but they don't shift very well!
I know they had a software issue when they were first released but they have been solid ever since. I drive one every day.
It is the same transmission that is used in Rolls Royce, Maserati, Jaguar...

MikesCarInfo software updates didn't help, the entire transmission have to be replaced

Where’s the little yellow hand?
This was filmed before I started using it regularly.
I love the Jeep Overland and consider to buy it. However, I am not sure about the reliability of Jeep manufactured by Chrysler. Anyone has experience about the SUV and would like to share? Appreciate for sharing your thought.
almost no issues with overland 2014. But I would suggest to purchase extended warranty for 7 or 8 years bumper to bumper. Very nice and reliable vehicle. The fact chrysler has not changed much in Jeeps GC for like 5 years for now confirms that
They took away the flashlight and the paddle shifters for 2018 that's sad... but good review!
I know this is way off base but what is the song name in the intro?
"Hero theme" from the TH-cam audio library.
E cool
They removed the flashlight. 😢😭
Rove McClain yep, noticed that too. And the floor railings as well, so no more protection for the carpet.
Or did they retain those in the V8 models?
Très jolie
Won't they let you drive the vehicle?
