What this vehicle is

Someone who needs towing capacity and highway comfort but does not want a full-size SUV.

The 2015 model year sits in the sweet spot of the WK2 Grand Cherokee: it has the eight-speed automatic and the refreshed interior. It is noticeably quieter and better finished inside than most midsize SUVs at this price, and a properly equipped V6 is rated to tow roughly 6,200 pounds.

This is the most expensive vehicle here to run, and that is the honest trade for what it offers. Expect high teens combined from the V6, premium-size tires, and a suspension that costs real money when it needs attention. Against that, it is quiet on the highway, it tows, and the interior holds up far better than most midsize SUVs of the same age.

Before you buy

What to check on this model

Read the full inspection checklist

✓Ask whether the air suspension, if fitted, has been serviced; the compressor and struts are the expensive part of ownership on these
✓Listen for a rear differential whine on a road test at 40 to 50 mph
✓Check that all Uconnect functions, including the backup camera, wake up quickly from cold
✓Confirm the recall history has been completed; this generation had several campaigns

Useful answers

Questions about this Jeep Grand Cherokee

Should I worry about the air suspension?

Only if this vehicle has it, which not all trims do. Quadra-Lift air suspension is excellent when it works and the compressor and struts are the expensive part of ownership when it does not. Confirm first whether this car is on air or on conventional springs, then ask whether the system has needed work. A car on steel springs removes the question entirely.

How much can a 2015 Grand Cherokee tow?

A properly equipped V6 is rated at roughly 6,200 pounds and the V8 higher, which covers most boats, small campers, and utility trailers. Towing capacity depends on the exact drivetrain, axle ratio, and whether the factory tow package is fitted, so verify the specific configuration before you commit to a trailer.

Is the V6 enough, or do I need the HEMI?

For almost everyone the Pentastar V6 is enough, particularly paired with the eight-speed automatic in this model year. The V8 is meaningfully quicker and tows more, at a real cost in fuel. If you are not towing near the limit regularly, the V6 is the more sensible ownership proposition.

Is the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee still available, and what does it cost?

The listed price of $24,895 and this vehicle’s availability are both confirmed by phone, because used inventory turns over and a page cannot keep up with a lot. Call 516-785-9378 before making the trip to Wantagh.
