Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance & Specs
Hold onto your hats because Jeep has announced some big changes to the Grand Cherokee in terms of performance. The all-new 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo engine arrives this year with improved fuel economy and lower emissions. You can travel up to 506 miles on a single tank of fuel, which is a best-in-class driving range that puts competitors to shame.
This engine delivers 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. On regular gasoline, you get a segment-leading 162 horsepower per liter. That kind of efficiency comes from Turbulent Jet Ignition technology. A new Gen IV transmission pairs with this engine for track-ready control and smooth shifting.
Jeep will still offer the plug-in hybrid propulsion option as well. We will review that separately in more detail.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Capability
True 4x4 capability comes standard with the iconic Selec-Terrain Traction Management System. You can switch between Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand modes with a simple dial.
Need to tow? The Grand Cherokee handles up to 6,200 pounds. Compare that to the Ford Explorer at just 5,600 pounds. You also get the Class-Exclusive available Quadra-Lift Air Suspension System. This feature gives you 24 inches of water fording capability while keeping the lithium-ion battery protected.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Interior
The Grand Cherokee comes in two configurations to fit your family. The standard two-row model seats five passengers in comfort. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L stretches the wheelbase and adds a third row with seating for up to seven. Those three-row models offer an optional 60/40 second-row bench seat.
With the "L," You get best-in-class 2nd-row legroom, more volume than any vehicle in its class, and more cargo room behind the third row than competitor SUVs. Standard wheelbase models offer an impressive 70.8 cubic feet of cargo room. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 7 seater delivers up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room when you fold down the second and third rows.
The new Jeep Grand Cherokee interior colors bring fresh style to the cabin. Look for teak and satin chrome accents on Limited trims, and Summit models feature piano black HVAC tracers for a sleek appearance. Available multicolor ambient LED lighting sets the mood on all trims. The 16-way power-adjustable front seats come with available memory presets and even a massage mode for those long drives.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Exterior
Jeep updated the iconic seven-slot grille for 2026. The new headlight design catches the eye immediately. A modified rear and lower fascia complete the refreshed look. All-new exterior trim finishes add even more personality.
Three new colors join the palette this year. Steel Blue, Copper Shino, and Fathom Blue give you bold options that stand out on the road. The Grand Cherokee was designed for off-roading with best-in-class available ground clearance, departure angle, and ramp breakover angle. You can choose from 11 wheel options ranging from 18 inches to 21 inches.
Grand Cherokee Technology & Safety
The 2026 Grand Cherokee delivers the most standard and available technology features in its class.

You can also equip a 10-inch Head-Up Display and a 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display for an even more advanced cockpit.

Safety is just as impressive, offering the most standard and available safety features in its class. Hands-free Active Driving Assist eases highway travel, while the rear-facing FamCam-available on long-wheelbase models-lets you monitor third-row passengers with a quick glance at the screen. The available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist System can even detect parking spaces and steer the Grand Cherokee into them for you.
