In all its iterations, the Grand Cherokee’s power is legendary, evident in its multiple best-in-class designations: maximum towing capacity and standard driving range, among others. Even its hybrid variant, the 4xe, has a best-in-class 470 lb-ft of torque that yields a max towing capacity of 6,000 pounds!
When you drive a Jeep, you have certain expectations. Regardless of which engine you choose, the Grand Cherokee delivers.

| 2.0L I4 Turbo PHEV | 375 HP | 470 lb-ft | 6,000 lbs. |
The Jeep brand is renowned for its power, sure. Even more than that, perhaps, for its ability to head off the road into the rough. Helping make it possible to tackle all types of conditions are its available:
- Three 4x4 systems
- Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System
- Class-exclusive Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System
Plus, the Grand Cherokee’s Trail Rated® badgeproves its worthiness to handle even the toughest terrain when it comes to traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. Feel free to venture without limits!
Want to harness the capability of a Jeep with the efficiency of a hybrid? Choose the 2.0L I4 Turbo PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) powertrain. It features three driving modes that let you equally tackle errands around town and road trips across state with 56 MPGe (miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent) and a total driving range of 470 miles:
- Hybrid mode – This tag team of engine and electric motor maximizes power output to 375 HP and provides an instant 470 lb-ft of torque.
- Electric mode – Instant torque continues, minus the tailpipe emissions, and with a 25-mile all-electric range.
- eSave Mode – Relies on the engine, saving battery power for another time.
Easily charge up at home or on the go to experience the lowest yearly fuel cost of any Grand Cherokee to date. Thanks to Jeep’s foresight, you can feel confident even when heading off the grid. They’ve installed solar-powered charging stations near primary off-road trails. Even as an EV, the legend still roars.
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.
Among its distinguishing exterior features are LED headlamps and taillamps that help ensure you’ll be able to see and be seen. Meanwhile, a baker’s dozen of wheel choices up to 21 inches will help your Grand Cherokee keep on turning, even while turning heads. You can even choose 2-tone color options with a black roof as the Grand Cherokee cherry on top.
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 features include available:
- 16-way seats with memory
- Massage mode
- Multicolor ambient LED lighting
- Nappa or Palermo leather upholstery
- Ventilated front seats
Ensure you and your fellow sojourners remain comfy-cozy no matter where the road—or the off-road—leads.
Continuing to flex its adaptability muscle, the Grand Cherokee offers two wheelbase lengths. The Grand Cherokee L’s longer wheelbase—largest in class—extends 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 available Quad-Zone Automatic Temperature Control.
Since more people typically means more stuff, the Grand Cherokee L and its available power-folding third row is prepared to adapt its space to fit your needs.

Whether you and your partner are heading off the grid to a remote campsite, you’re carting home a piece of furniture, or you’re transporting your intramural sports team to a game, there’s room for everyone and everything.
Adding to its lengthy list of class-leading accolades, the Grand Cherokee continues to distinguish itself by offering more available technologies than other models. Whether related to connectivity, entertainment, or safety, the Grand Cherokee has got it.
When you’re out and about, you want a way to stay in touch. Integrated Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure you can always connect with your favorite people or place that dinner take-out order on your way home. The available wireless charging pad will keep those devices powered without cord clutter.
Access your apps, maps, and playlists through the standard 8.4-inch touchscreen, or choose the available 10.1-inch screen with navigation. Upping the ante once again, the Grand Cherokee offers the available front passenger display, yet another class-exclusive option.
Keep the party going and eliminate the constant chorus of “Are we there yet?” by adding the available Rear Seat Entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV, so your back-row passengers can stream movies and downloaded programs, play games, and more. Meanwhile, you can also turn your Grand Cherokee cabin into your private concert venue with the available 19-speaker McIntosh® Audio System. Its 950 watts and 10-inch subwoofer ensure every note is crystal clear.
Once again, the Grand Cherokee sets itself apart by coming equipped with the most standard and available safety features in its class. Seeing a pattern? Among its many standard safety systems are:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Active Lane Management
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection
- ParkView® Rear Back up Camera with ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection
As a result, you’ll feel confident every time you get behind the wheel.
Next-level protection is available with Night Vision that scans for pedestrians and animals via thermographic technology and infrared sensors. Drowsy Driver Detection sends audible and visual warnings when it detects signs of drowsy or distracted driving. Meanwhile, the available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System offers Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering Assistance on approved highways.

One reason to drive an SUV is to have a vehicle that can keep up with your active lifestyle. Whether you’re sticking to asphalt or heading onto a dirt-covered trail, you want to enjoy life without limits. Either the Grand Cherokee or the Explorer could be a good option, but true to its Jeep heritage, the Grand Cherokee can help you explore even more.

With options come opportunities. Everyone benefits from being able to make their own choices rather than having them dictated. In the case of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, options abound. From its three powertrains, you’ll benefit in multiple ways: greater get-up-and-go and considerably more towing capacity than the Toyota 4Runner, whose single engine delivers less in every category. If you prefer the power of choice, choose the Grand Cherokee.

Power is a necessary commodity, whether cruising the open highway or taking the road less traveled. Of course, the most self-assured travelers are those who know they’re fully protected, allowing them not only to fly fast but to fly free. In the end, the vehicle that will exceed your expectations and ensure your confidence is sky-high is not the Pilot—it’s the Grand Cherokee.
