2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt
Recall and complaint safety record from NHTSA. This configuration has not been crash-tested.
CRASH
DATANot crash-tested
The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is a high-performance variant of Stellantis's long-running midsize SUV, slotting into the upper tier of the segment with a focus on spirited driving rather than family-hauler practicality. Aimed at buyers who want truck-based SUV utility wrapped around a performance identity, the SRT competes in a niche where power and presence often take priority over outright safety credentials.
The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Srt has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 12 recalls and 396 owner complaints on file, giving it a heavy recall and complaint burden.
- shoppers who want the full federal safety picture in one place
Reviewers generally praise the Grand Cherokee SRT for its muscular acceleration, planted highway composure, and the way it blends SUV practicality with a genuinely involving driving character. Interior refinement and available luxury materials earn consistent approval, though some reviewers note that the cabin design and infotainment layout feel less contemporary than key European and domestic rivals at a similar price point.
