Only thing I would avoid it because gas is expensive. I see no reason to avoid it. The new one looks nice with the short grill.

I have had a Grand Cherokee for 4 years and have been very happy with it.

Powertrains are proven and carry over into new model. ZF 8 speed transmissions are the best. Infotainment is easy to use and responsive.

If you need 7 seats and plan to keep a long time you could look at the Durango which you are more likely to get a deal on and is also proven. Its essentially a stretched Grand Cherokee and specs have improved over the years. Citadel is top of the line model for Durango.

Grand Cherokee L will hold its value better as it is a new model. However most vehicles that consume above average amounts of gas could drop more in value as people tune into electric vehicles and more models come on stream including SUVs.

I don't think there is a Durango anymore. I think it was intended for the Grand Cherokee L to replace it as the Jeep brand sells better for SUVs.

We have a 2020 LimitedX, and love it. IF you need 7 seats, I would recommend looking a the lower trims of the Wagoneer. Probably not much more than the top trims of the L, but much more vehicle.

I was considering it during pre-shortage MY 20/21 were all $10k+ off. So were the jeep wranglers. I just can't consider paying these for MSRP now...

There definitely still is a Durango, up to/including the SRT 392 model. The only one that is gone is the SRT Hellcat one which carried the same engine as, well, the Hellcats, along with the Trackhawk. That one only lasted like 1-2 model years though as the emissions regs that came the next year eliminated it.

We have a 2019 and love it. No reliability issues and it’s better on gas than I expected. Not a fan of the styling of the new ones, but that is personal preference. The interior is definitely more refined now. My only hesitation with the new ones is that it is a new Fiat-developed platform. Mine is still the last of the Daimler generation and I think a bit better built.

If anything you should thank the Fiat ownership. I remember when this was still under Daimler, quite a few of them were built really badly, this was the time when documented by a local Fox news crew actually followed some workers and saw them getting drunk and high only to return to the plant...drunk and high. News crews were only there to cover Obama's speech there. I could go on for days telling everyone about every single incident I saw with Daimler Chrysler vehicles because they'd fail that quickly, had they continued those bad practices post bankruptcy we'd still be talking about constant reliability problems in Chryslers which amazingly seem to be at least manageable. Those Daimler Chrysler days were bad, seems weird that its the Italians that made the German stuff work better...usually its the other way around.
