Jeep Grand Cherokee Station Wagon (1994-1999) running costs and reliability
Miles per pound (mpp)
Fuel economy
Long journeys will be blighted by fuel stops, as Grand Cherokee is extremely thirsty to run and city driving is particularly expensive. All models have a high level of specification and the Mercedes-developed 2.7 CRD is the most frugal unit – though it’s still not cheap to run – while maintenance and parts costs are expensive, too. Depreciation is more rapid than European rivals, but it’s still a top alternative to X5 and Range Rover.
The Jeep build quality and 4x4 system is tough and extremely rugged, meaning Grand Cherokee should offer high reliability as long as it’s serviced correctly and not abused off-road. There have been some problems reported with auto boxes and air conditioning, as well as underbody and panel damage from off-road use and rear suspension wear on tow cars.
A full service history is a bonus and a great way of finding any repairs made to the vehicle.
