What are the running costs?

A claimed fuel economy of up to 97.4mpg is possible – an impressive figure in isolation, but not quite as good as many of the Jeep’s rivals can claim. As is the way with how plug-in hybrids work, a figure like this is only possible with regular charging and careful driving.

Jeep says the Grand Cherokee’s 17.3kWh battery pack can be charged in under three hours at a conventional 7.4kWh home wallbox.

Servicing and warranty

Jeep says the Grand Cherokee comes with a three-year warranty, and all of its cars also benefit from a complimentary roadside assistance service for one year.

Reliability

Jeep isn’t known for being the most reliable brand out there, but there aren’t many horror stories to really nail to the Grand Cherokee. There has been a recall in the US market for the Grand Cherokee regarding the car’s steering, but European models seem to be unaffected by it – there is no outstanding recall at all on the Grand Cherokee according to the UK Government.
