Second gen used Grand Cherokee models have been around for over a decade and also feature prominently in my top ten mileage list. There is even a very early model in there with 285k miles. Looking at the table above its clear to see that first generation Grand Cherokees fair well when it comes to high mileage. The data I collected showed that although the average was 292k miles, the highest mileage vehicle that was on sale had over 300 000 miles at 321k miles. If you are looking for a complete comparison between the Grand Cherokee V6 and V8 engines, then check out other article. The Fourth generation diesel engine is the 3.6L CRD V6. Petrol engine choices are the Pentastar 3.6l V6, Hemi V8 5.7l, the 6.4l Hemi V8 found in the SRT8 and SRT and the 6.2l supercharged V8 Hemi in the Trackhawk. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is currently on its fourth generation (WK2) which was launched in 2010. Diesel power this time came in the form of the 3.0l V6 from Mercedes-Benz. Petrol engines included a single V6 (the 3.7l) and three V8’s including the 4.7l and 5.7l/6.1l Hemis. Third generation models (WK) were in production from 2004 until 2010. Again, diesels were not available in North America but included the 2.7l (Mercedes Benz) and 3.1l (WM Motori) engines. Petrol engines included the 4.0l straight 6 and 4.7l V8 (available in 2 power outputs). The second generation (WJ) model was launched in 1998 and ran until 2004. Three spec variants were available, including the top of the range Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited model. There was also a 2.5l diesel model but this was not available in North America. Petrol engines included the 4.0l straight 6, 5.2l V8 and 5.9l V8 that was found in the Limited.

The first generation (ZJ) Grand Cherokee ran from 1992 until 1998. Some quick background on the various Jeep Grand Cherokee model generations. I have summarized the data in the table below. I then selected the top 10 vehicles in terms of mileage to get an idea of what mileage to expect. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to that type of data so I went on and simply searched for all Grand Cherokees on sale across the US, then sorted by highest mileage. One of the ways I could have researched Grand Cherokee mileages would have been to speak to dealers ore poll some owners. Analysis of Jeep Grand Cherokee mileages on Auto Trader
