About This 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit

This 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit rolls in with 176,107 miles on the odometer — and that number tells a very different story when you factor in the diesel powertrain. Diesel engines are engineered for high-mileage life, and the EcoDiesel-equipped Grand Cherokee has a strong track record of pushing well past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. The Summit trim sits at the top of the Grand Cherokee lineup, meaning this SUV was loaded from the factory with features most buyers associate with European luxury brands. The Black exterior gives it a sharp, commanding presence on the road.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance and Engine

3.0L EcoDiesel V6 — Built to Go the Distance

Under the hood sits a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, paired with an automatic transmission and full-time 4WD. This engine produces approximately 240 horsepower and — more impressively — around 420 lb-ft of torque, giving it exceptional towing capability and effortless highway passing power. Diesel engines like this one are renowned for fuel efficiency in a full-size SUV class, commonly returning 25–28 MPG on the highway. The 4WD system includes Jeep's Quadra-Drive II with an electronic limited-slip rear differential, making it equally at home on snowy Winnebago County roads as it is on open interstate miles.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Features and Interior

Top-Trim Comfort and Technology

The Summit trim is where Jeep pulled out all the stops. Expect premium leather seating, a heated and ventilated front seat setup, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof. The infotainment system includes Uconnect with navigation, and the Summit typically features a premium audio system — often the 19-speaker Harman Kardon setup. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and forward collision warning round out a technology suite that was genuinely ahead of its time in 2014. The interior is spacious for both passengers and cargo, with a well-crafted cabin that holds up well over the years.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the EcoDiesel Grand Cherokee

The 3.0L EcoDiesel Grand Cherokee has earned a loyal following among buyers who prioritize long-term value. Diesel motors inherently last longer than their gasoline counterparts due to lower RPM operation and robust internal components. Owners frequently report crossing the 200,000 and even 250,000-mile mark with routine maintenance. Common maintenance items to stay on top of include the diesel particulate filter (DPF), oil changes with the correct diesel-rated oil, and periodic inspection of the AdBlue/DEF system. With a documented service history, a high-mileage EcoDiesel Grand Cherokee remains a strong buy. The Summit trim's air suspension (Quadra-Lift, standard on Summit) should also be inspected, as it is a known long-term maintenance item on these models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit a good buy?

Yes — especially with the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine. The Summit trim offers near-luxury features at a fraction of the original MSRP, and the diesel powertrain is well-regarded for longevity and fuel efficiency. It's one of the most feature-rich used SUVs available in this price range.

Is 176,000 miles too many for a diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Not necessarily. Diesel engines are designed for high-mileage duty cycles and routinely exceed 200,000–250,000 miles with proper care. A well-maintained EcoDiesel Grand Cherokee at 176,000 miles can still offer significant service life. A pre-purchase inspection is always recommended.

The Summit is the flagship Grand Cherokee trim. It typically includes premium leather, ventilated and heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, Uconnect navigation, a premium audio system, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and Jeep's Quadra-Lift air suspension with Quadra-Drive II 4WD.

Does the 2014 Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel have good fuel economy?

Yes. The 3.0L EcoDiesel is one of the most fuel-efficient powertrains ever offered in a full-size body-on-frame SUV, with EPA estimates around 21 city / 28 highway MPG — impressive for a 4WD SUV of this size and capability.

What should I check when buying a high-mileage diesel Grand Cherokee?

Key items include the diesel particulate filter (DPF) condition, DEF/AdBlue system, transmission fluid history, air suspension functionality (Quadra-Lift), and any history of the EcoDiesel emissions-related recalls. A qualified diesel mechanic inspection is strongly recommended.
