2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

If you're searching for a high-performance SUV that delivers serious power without sacrificing everyday usability, this 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT for sale at Own A Car Yakima in Yakima, WA is exactly what you've been looking for. White exterior, 4WD capability, and a legendary 6.4-liter HEMI V8 under the hood — this is one of the most capable and exciting used SUVs available in the Yakima Valley right now.

About This 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

The Grand Cherokee SRT is not your average Grand Cherokee. It's the performance flagship — the SUV that Jeep built to prove that four-wheel-drive family haulers could also hold their own on a track. This particular example is finished in a sharp white exterior and sits on Stock #9105. With 160,718 miles on the odometer, this is a vehicle that has lived a full life on the road, and at this mileage the key questions buyers should ask — service history, tire condition, and brake wear — are exactly what a thorough inspection at the dealership can help answer. Used SRT models at this price point represent a rare opportunity to own a performance SUV that originally carried a substantial sticker price.

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Performance and Engine

The heart of the Grand Cherokee SRT is its 6.4-liter HEMI V8 — the same engine family that powers Dodge muscle cars. In this application it produces 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the quickest SUVs of its era. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, power delivery is smooth, quick-shifting, and responsive whether you're merging onto I-82 or cruising through the Yakima Canyon.

4WD System and Handling

Despite its performance orientation, the Grand Cherokee SRT is a genuine 4WD machine. It features Jeep's Quadra-Trac active 4WD system along with Selec-Track terrain management, giving drivers control over how the vehicle handles everything from dry pavement to loose gravel. For Yakima-area drivers who deal with snowy winters and varied terrain, that's a meaningful advantage over rear-wheel-drive performance alternatives.

Braking and Suspension

The SRT trim also brings Brembo high-performance brakes and an SRT-tuned suspension that lowers the ride height compared to standard Grand Cherokee trims. This gives it a planted, confident feel in corners while still absorbing road imperfections reasonably well for a performance-tuned SUV.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Features and Interior

The SRT is Jeep's top-tier performance package, and the interior reflects that. Expect Nappa leather-trimmed performance seats with available suede inserts, an SRT-specific instrument cluster with a performance pages display, and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system — one of the most user-friendly systems in its class. Navigation, premium audio, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof are among the notable features you'd expect at this trim level.

Technology and Driver Convenience

The 2016 Grand Cherokee SRT also includes a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and parking sensors — features that remain genuinely useful in everyday driving situations. The cabin is wide and accommodating, with seating for five and a cargo area that handles real-world hauling duties easily.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Reliability and Ownership

The Grand Cherokee SRT has a passionate owner following. The 6.4-liter HEMI is a robust, well-engineered engine that — when properly maintained — is known to run well into high mileage. At 160,000-plus miles, buyers should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the transmission fluid condition, differential seals, and brake component wear, all of which are normal service areas at this stage of a vehicle's life.

Owners consistently praise the SRT for its combination of brute performance and practical daily usability. The 8-speed transmission responds well and rarely causes concern when fluid services have been kept current. The HEMI's fuel consumption is what you'd expect from a large displacement V8 — this is not an economy vehicle — but for buyers who want the performance, the ownership experience is frequently described as genuinely rewarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT a good buy?

For the right buyer, absolutely. The SRT offers a rare combination of family SUV practicality and genuine performance car capability. It's one of the fastest SUVs of its generation and comes loaded with features. At its current price point in the used market, it delivers significant value compared to its original MSRP.

How many miles is too many on a Grand Cherokee SRT?

The 6.4-liter HEMI is a durable engine that many owners take well past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. The key is service history — specifically oil changes, transmission fluid, and differential services. A vehicle at 160,000 miles that has been well maintained can offer many more years of reliable driving.

What does the Grand Cherokee SRT trim include?

The SRT trim is Jeep's performance flagship, adding the 6.4-liter HEMI V8, Brembo brakes, lowered sport suspension, Nappa leather seating, an 8.4-inch Uconnect display, performance pages instrumentation, Selec-Track 4WD, and a full suite of driver assistance and comfort technologies over standard Grand Cherokee trims.

Is the Grand Cherokee SRT good in snow?

Yes — the Quadra-Trac 4WD system and Selec-Track terrain management make the SRT more capable in winter conditions than many might expect from a performance-oriented SUV. For Yakima-area drivers facing winter mountain driving, the 4WD system is a meaningful asset.

What fuel economy does the 2016 Grand Cherokee SRT get?

The Grand Cherokee SRT is rated around 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway. Fuel economy is not its strong suit — the 6.4-liter HEMI is built for performance, and buyers should factor fuel costs into their ownership budget accordingly.
