Used Jeep Grand Cherokee for sale in Europe

About the Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a large SUV that Jeep has built since 1993. It is aimed at road use but keeps real off-road ability, usually through four-wheel drive and a high seating position. It suits buyers who want space, towing ability and a relaxed long-distance car more than a compact city runabout.

All generations are five-door estates. Petrol engines have included inline-six, V6 and V8 units. Diesels were offered in several generations, usually with an automatic gearbox. The newest cars add a plug-in hybrid version, and some older cars in our listings carry aftermarket LPG conversions.

Engines, trim and equipment differ a lot between countries, because many cars were sold in small numbers or imported privately. Check the exact engine, gearbox and four-wheel-drive system on each car before comparing it with others. Do not assume two cars of the same year are equivalent.

Generations

• ZJ (1993-1998) — The first generation, with boxy styling and a 4.0 litre inline-six petrol as a core engine alongside V8 options.
• WJ (1999-2004) — A rounded second generation that offered a 4.0 litre inline-six, a 4.7 litre V8 and, in Europe, a 2.7 litre five-cylinder diesel.
• WK (2005-2010) — The third generation, with a 3.0 litre V6 diesel and V8 petrol engines, and a more car-like cabin.
• WK2 (2011-2021) — The fourth generation, widely sold with a 3.6 litre V6 petrol, a 3.0 litre V6 diesel and an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
• WL (2021-present) — The fifth generation, which includes a plug-in hybrid 4xe version and, in some markets, a longer three-row L body.

What to check when buying a used Jeep Grand Cherokee

Ask for the full service history and look at the car in daylight, from underneath as well. Do a cold start and a test drive that includes low-speed manoeuvres, motorway speed and, if possible, a short unpaved stretch to test the four-wheel-drive system.

• Rust and underbody condition

  Check sills, wheel arches, tailgate edges, subframes and exhaust mounts, especially on cars from the 1990s and 2000s or from countries that salt roads. Surface rust is common, but flaking structural metal or fresh underseal covering repairs needs a closer look.

• Four-wheel-drive system

  Confirm that the transfer case and axles are quiet and free of leaks. Ask when the transfer case and differential oils were last changed. Listen for binding or clunking on tight turns, and check that every drive mode selects without warning lights.

• Air suspension and electronics · WK2 (2011-2021)

  Cars fitted with air suspension should sit level and rise and lower without delay or fault messages. Compressor and air spring problems are widely discussed on these cars. Also test the touchscreen, parking sensors, cameras and electric seats.

• Diesel emissions and injectors · Diesel engines

  Ask about EGR, particulate filter and injector work, and check for warning lights, rough running or smoke. Short urban trips can clog the filter on any modern diesel. Look for records showing that regeneration and servicing were done on schedule.

• Gearbox shifts and fluid · Automatic gearboxes

  Shifts should be smooth when cold and warm, with no flare, shudder or delay engaging drive or reverse. Ask whether the gearbox fluid has been changed, as some owners and workshops treat it as maintenance despite long-life claims.

• Aftermarket LPG systems · LPG conversions

  Ask for the installer's paperwork, the date of the last system inspection and the tank's expiry date. Check that the car runs well on both fuels. Conversions vary widely in quality, so a specialist inspection is sensible.

• Hybrid system and charging · WL plug-in hybrid (4xe)

  On plug-in hybrids, check that the car charges, switches between electric and petrol running and shows no hybrid warnings. Inspect the charging port and cable for damage. Ask for service records covering both the combustion engine and the hybrid system.
