Key Features of the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee

2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo Engine

New to 2026, the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine transforms the Grand Cherokee’s character with punchy acceleration and refined power delivery. It generates up to 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, giving you confident passing power on rural highways and smooth, low-RPM pull when merging with a full load. This engine also anchors the Grand Cherokee’s best-in-class 6,200-pound maximum towing capacity, so bringing a boat or utility trailer is well within reach. Paired to the new Gen IV transmission, shifts are both quick and seamless, helping you stay in the engine’s sweet spot whether you are cruising or climbing. Factor in a manufacturer-estimated best-in-class driving range of up to 529 miles, and you are looking at a powertrain engineered to keep you moving—without frequent stops along the way.

Gen IV Transmission and Three 4x4 Systems

The Grand Cherokee’s new Gen IV transmission is tuned for precision and responsiveness, complementing its elevated capability on and off the pavement. For traction, choose from three advanced available 4x4 systems—Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II®, or Quadra-Drive® II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential—to match your driving style and environment. Dial in performance with the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, featuring five specialized modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand. From rutted two-tracks to slick boat ramps, this intelligent drivetrain suite helps the Grand Cherokee adapt in real time. And with best-in-class available ground clearance, a best-in-class departure angle, and an unsurpassed available ramp breakover angle, the chassis is prepped to clear obstacles with confidence.

Uconnect® 5 NAV 12.3-Inch Touchscreen

At the heart of the cabin is a new 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen. Newly-standard navigation makes route planning effortless, while available Apple CarPlay® support and Android Auto™ compatibility integrate your favorite apps, calls, and playlists. A trial subscription to SiriusXM® brings more entertainment choices right to your fingertips. The interface is snappy and intuitive, pairing crisp graphics with logical menu layouts, so you spend less time digging and more time enjoying the drive. The system works in concert with available premium tech such as a 10-inch full-color Head-Up Display and a 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display, creating a driver-centric command center that is both beautiful and practical. Audiophiles will especially appreciate the available McIntosh® premium audio system, which features up to 19 speakers powered by a 17-channel amplifier for rich, room-filling sound.

Hands-Free Active Driving Assist and Safety Suite

The 2026 Grand Cherokee offers the most standard and available technology features in its class, and that strength extends to safety and driver assistance. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist allows hands-off driving in certain conditions, using sensor data and adaptive speed control while monitoring driver attentiveness. Helpful available features like a Night Vision Camera can detect pedestrians and animals up to 328 feet ahead using infrared sensors, while the available 360º Surround View Camera presents an aerial view to simplify parking and trail navigation. Additional innovations—such as Drowsy Driver Detection, Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection, Intersection Collision Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Active Lane Management, and the ParkView® Back Up Camera with ParkSense® Park Assist—work together to elevate your awareness and peace of mind.

Grand Cherokee L (3-Row) Seating and Versatile Cargo

Choose the configuration that fits your household. The two-row Grand Cherokee seats five and offers up to 70.8 cubic feet of cargo space, ideal for packing luggage, gear, or a week’s worth of supplies. If your world requires extra seating, the Grand Cherokee L (3-row) accommodates up to seven passengers and delivers best-in-class second-row legroom and passenger volume. When cargo takes priority, fold the second and third rows in the L to unlock up to 84.6 cubic feet. Available features like a power-folding third-row bench simplify reconfigurations, while the available Hands-Free Power Liftgate turns loading into a one-foot gesture. Inside, available premium touches—including Nappa leather seats with red stitching on Trailhawk® 4xe, teak and satin chrome accents on Limited, and piano black HVAC tracers on Summit—elevate the everyday experience. Available 16-way power front seats with memory and massage make long drives delightfully relaxing.
