Jeep Grand Cherokee Features
Proven Capability
Class-leading off-road capabilities and rugged performance are two signature hallmarks of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Beneath the hood lies its standard 3.6L Pentastar™ V6 Variable Valve Timing (VVT) engine that’s paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a total of 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. In search of even more power? Step up to the available 2.0L Hurricane 4-Cylinder Turbo that cranks out a robust 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Also available are three individual 4X4 systems: Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II ®, and Quadra-Drive® II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential. Equipped with Electronic Semi-Active Damping, the available class-exclusive Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension can prioritize on-road refinement or adjust to tackle tricky off-road terrain at the touch of a button. All Grand Cherokee models are engineered to Jeep Trail Rated® standards. As a result, your Grand Cherokee is ready to excel in five key categories of off-road capability: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording.
Luxurious Interior
Spacious dimensions, world-class refinement, and premium materials are just three hallmarks of the upscale interior of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. For a truly unparalleled experience, shoppers can opt for available Nappa leather upholstery in addition to 16-way adjustable seats featuring memory pre-sets and massage functionality.

Audiophiles are sure to be delighted by the outstanding assortment of available audio systems inside the Jeep Grand Cherokee as well. These include the Alpine® Premium Audio System with 9 speakers and a subwoofer along with the McIntosh® 19-speaker, 950-watt Audio System. Each system is designed to maximize the unique acoustics of the cabin to deliver an immersive listening experience.
