Jeep Grand Cherokee Long Term Review, April 2025 Report

‘Oh my word, what in the world is that?!’ Has been the theme of the month for me. You see, our Founder and Editor-in-chief Dhruv Behl was kind enough to let me borrow the Jeep Grand Cherokee from our long-term test fleet for the last month. And ever since, even after over 700km clocked with the Jeeper, I still cannot get over the incredible presence this monolithic SUV has. In many ways, especially since we are a lot more used to seeing the Jeep Compass and the Jeep Meridian on the roads, the Grand Cherokee manages to go under the radar. But as it comes close, be it in your peripheral vision or your rear view mirror, it dawns upon people - this isn’t just any other Jeep, it is the ‘Grand’ daddy of them all!

Incredibly, though, the same surprises me even after all this time spent with the car. Just the other day, I went to the local market to buy some groceries. I parked the car without a second thought, actively remembering the list of items that I need to purchase - a tough task, seriously - and went on about my day. It was only while returning back to the car that I saw it towering over pretty much every single car that was parked alongside it! You would think that I would get used to this sight but no, the jaw keeps dropping every now and then.

It’s been the same even inside the car. Just the other day, I realised that the car has these incredible touches that show the attention to detail that Jeep has put into this SUV. And this is precisely why spending longer times with cars is necessary, because in any other scenario where we test it for a short duration, we have to go about making 3,400 gazillion kinds of content about the test car - and between it all, such things are easy to miss. For example, the car’s belt buckle is wrapped in this lovely soft touch material. Or how the fact that the rear camera feed which be seen on the inside rear view mirror helps you incredibly in case you happen to load the boot up to the top. I also loved the sheer amount of buttons on the centre console that giving you easy access to a lot of features even on the go, despite the car having three massive screens across the dash for an infotainment experience that’s no less than any luxury car.

All of it really makes you appreciate the effort that Jeep has put into the Grand Cherokee. You get used to the quirks and features of the car fairly quickly and once you do, you’ll even get over the moments where you go “oh my word, what in world is that,” when you look at the fuel economy of this mammoth SUV.
