What’s New for the 2026 Grand Cherokee Lineup?
Jeep has turned up the dial on both luxury and performance for the 2026 model year, making this the most refined Grand Cherokee ever built.
The All-New 2.0L Hurricane-4 Turbo Engine
The big news lives under the hood. While the proven 293-hp Pentastar® V6 remains standard on entry-level trims, the Laredo Altitude and higher trims feature the all-new 2.0L Hurricane-4 Turbo I4 engine. Paired with an advanced Gen IV 8-speed automatic transmission, this power plant cranks out an impressive 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque—outperforming older models while lowering fuel consumption. Best of all, it maintains a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds, perfect for hauling boats, campers, or snowmobiles through Route 7 gaps.
Bold Exterior Styling & Standard 12.3-Inch Display
You will instantly notice the 2026 model's boxier, more aggressive front end. It sports a completely reworked seven-slot grille with a thicker border, sleek hockey-stick-shaped LED headlights, and a triple-intake lower bumper designed for enhanced engine cooling. Inside, Jeep has eliminated the smaller screens of the past. A massive 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen now comes standard across the board, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and faster charging connectivity.
