2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee at 15–21 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder (RWD) is the most efficient and the 6.4L 8-cylinder (AWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Salt, snow and hills: the data
Reading the 2017 Grand Cherokee data for Great Lakes roads
None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee lines that matter for a Bowling Green winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.
Tire choices for squall and thaw
Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P245/70R17 on 17-inch wheels to P295/45R20 on 20-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.
The oil grade on a January morning
Factory oil: SAE 0W-20 (3.6L), SAE 5W-20 (5.7L) and SAE 0W-40 (6.4L), 6 qt (3.6L), 7 qt (5.7L) and 7 qt (6.4L) per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.
Cranking power for a lake-effect morning
Rated battery output: 650 to 800 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160- to 220-amp alternator.
Which wheels do the pulling
Factory drive configurations for 2017: rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used Grand Cherokee confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.
Trailer duty in the schedule
Regular towing puts the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee on the schedule's trailer rows: axle fluid service, first at 20,000 miles. A summer of hauling a boat to Lake Cumberland, Norris Lake or a Lake Michigan launch counts. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so a trailer's real corrosion threat here is winter road salt, not the ramp.
Antifreeze for both ends of the year
The system holds 10.4 qt (3.6L), 15.4 to 16 qt (5.7L) and 16 qt (6.4L) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.
Tank size for hill country
The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee holds 24.6 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.
Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2017 Grand Cherokee. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.
