2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review with Specs, Price, & Features

About the Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a true icon, a vehicle so versatile and enjoyable to own that it helped to popularize SUVs for the entire industry. Today, it continues to not only set the bar for its segment – but raise it – with off-road capabilities that its competitors only look capable of achieving, thanks to a choice of Quadra-Drive® 4X4 systems. A potent standard engine adds to the off-road ability and gives the Grand Cherokee a best-in-class towing capacity. For additional confidence on the trails, an available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System gives you added control over a wide range of environments and conditions. It’s also extremely comfortable, with available features like genuine Nappa leather upholstery and an incredible available McIntosh® stereo system to go with the user-friendly Uconnect® 5 infotainment system that comes standard.

What’s New for 2026

Plenty of exciting updates and changes have been made to the proven Jeep Cherokee for 2026. In terms of exterior looks, the Grand Cherokee sports a freshed appearance including an updated front grille along with new front and rear bumpers. Under the hood, the Grand Cherokee is now offered with an optional 2.0L Hurricane Turbo 4-cylinder engine that delivers more power and class-leading towing ratings for enhanced capability. In terms of tech, the Grand Cherokee benefits from the arrival of a new 12.3-inch display along with the addition of the innovative optional 10.3-inch screen for the front passenger.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Features

Class-Leading Capability

The key to the success of the Jeep Grand Cherokee has always been its ability to handle a wide variety of tasks. Powering these tasks is a 3.6-liter Pentastar™ V6 that produces 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Craving even more muscle? Upgrade to the optional 2.0L Hurricane 4-Cylinder Turbo that cranks out a robust 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Jeep pairs this with an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission and a choice of three 4X4 systems: Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II ®, and Quadra-Drive® II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential. There is an available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension system that can raise the vehicle to give you some extra ground clearance when you’re going off-road, or lower it to improve aerodynamics on the highway. Speaking of class-exclusive features, the Grand Cherokee can tow up to 6,200 pounds, noticeably more than its competitors. However you outfit your Grand Cherokee, Trail Rated® status comes standard.

Incredible Technology

The impressive technology in the Grand Cherokee comes in a couple of different forms. First, you have technologies that you can find in competitors – but that Jeep simply executes better – like the responsive and intuitive Uconnect® 5 infotainment system. There is also an advanced Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist System that helps you just avoid collisions while parking, but can tell you when to shift and will take over steering duties. Then there are quite a few advanced technologies that you just won’t find on other vehicles in this segment. That includes things like an available night vision camera or Hands-Free Active Driving Assist. There’s an available passenger-side touchscreen as well, so the driver can focus on the road while the passenger hunts for somewhere to have dinner, and can then send those navigation commands to the driver’s screen. All of this helps to make you safer, more comfortable, and more relaxed than you’d be in a competing vehicle.
