Explore the Elements of a Legend

Explore the categories below to discover more about the features of the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

CAPABILITY

Jeep Grand Cherokee

In all its iterations, the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s power is legendary, evident in its multiple best-in-class designations: maximum towing capacity and standard driving range, among others. From its base configuration to its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant, one thing is clear about the Grand Cherokee: You can expect impressive power from this iconic machine.

Primed for Power

When you drive a Jeep, you have certain expectations. The Jeep Grand Cherokee exceeds these expectations, not only with its impressive power but also with its range of power options. Regardless of whether you choose the standard gas-powered configuration or the eco-conscious PHEV, the Grand Cherokee delivers.

Engine
Horsepower

Towing Capacity
2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo 324 HP 332 lb-ft 6,200 lbs.
2.0L I4 Turbo PHEV (Available) 375 HP 470 lb-ft 6,000 lbs.

Power is only half the performance equation. While important, it’s essential to consider what your SUV can do with that power. Proudly carrying the Jeep name, the Grand Cherokee can head off the beaten path and rewrite what “accessible off-roading" looks like. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System lets you toggle among five off-roading modes to reel in capabilities, while the choice between three 4x4 systems enhances confidence.

Rounding out its capabilities, the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s optional Trail Rated® badge proves its worthiness to handle even the toughest terrain when it comes to traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. With the Grand Cherokee, turn tough terrain into familiar ground.

The Electrified 4xe

Want to harness the capability of a Jeep with the efficiency of an electrified motor? The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers the best of both worlds, thanks to its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) configuration. Not only does this configuration increase the Grand Cherokee’s performance capabilities, but it also helps you tackle more with fewer stops. Its EPA-estimated best-in-class driving range of 529 miles makes long-distance travel feel effortless.

Since the Grand Cherokee 4xe adds a powerful electric motor to the turbocharged engine, this configuration can travel using only electrical energy for short trips. Tackle errands around town or use less gas during a road trip. When you switch to electric mode, the Grand Cherokee has an EPA-estimated 25-mile all-electric driving range. The best part? This mode delivers instant torque and produces zero tailpipe emissions.

To ensure your Grand Cherokee 4xe is ready for the next adventure, an overnight charge at home or a quick trip to a public charging station is all that’s needed to keep the battery fully charged and ready for more.

When it comes to design, there are some elements that immediately let you know that a particular vehicle is a Jeep. At the end of the day, whether your lifestyle requires two or three rows, this model is a Grand Cherokee.

Distinctive Design

Among distinguishing exterior features are the iconic seven-slot grille that makes the Grand Cherokee unmistakenly Jeep. Sleek LED headlights cast a crisp light beam across even the darkest roads and help ensure you’ll be able to see and be seen.

Just because your Jeep is ready to rough it doesn’t mean you have to. The Grand Cherokee provides interior amenities often reserved for luxury vehicles. These available features include:

  • Oak and Liquid Chrome accent trim
  • Massage mode
  • Multicolor ambient LED lighting
  • Nappa or Palermo leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats

While you travel the road, the Jeep Grand Cherokee turns heads with its iconic design profile. The best part? No matter where the road leads, you and your companions will remain comfortable inside the upscale cabin.

Go Long: The 3-Row Grand Cherokee L

Continuing to flex its adaptability muscle, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers two wheelbase lengths. The Grand Cherokee L’s longer wheelbase extends the seating capacity from five to seven and offers a best-in-class second-row legroom of 39.4 inches. With more family and friends on board, make sure they’re all comfortable with the available Quad-Zone Automatic Temperature Control.

Since more people typically mean more stuff, the Grand Cherokee L with its available power-folding third row bench is prepared to adapt its space to fit your needs.
