Engine and Performance

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is known for its effortless off-road capability, and that’s not changing for 2026.

The Grand Cherokee offers best-in-class ground clearance and departure angle, so you can tackle any terrain with confidence. Whether you’re going up, down, or over, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is up for the challenge.

The Selec-Terrain Management System allows you to choose between five 4x4 drive modes with the turn of a dial, including Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, or Mud/Sand. Paired with the class-exclusive Quadra-Lift Air Suspension System and three available 4x4 systems, adventure is only limited by your imagination.

The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine lineup includes the return of a proven performer and a powerful new rival. Choose between the 293-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6, or opt for the more powerful 324-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter Hurricane.

Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and offer rear-, all-, or four-wheel drive.

Exterior Design

New front fascias and grille enhance the already impressive exterior design of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, catching the eye the moment you set foot on the car lot. A selection of 11 newly standard and available wheel options lets you choose your look, including 18-, 20-, and 21-inch sizes in a variety of finishes, from fine silver to high-gloss black to diamond-cut.

Loading your gear for the annual family camping trip or running errands around town is made simple with the hands-free power liftgate. Simply pass your foot under the rear sill, step back, and you’ll have access to the cargo area within seconds.

The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee exterior paint colors vary by trim level, with monotone and two-tone color options. Monotone exterior paint colors will include:

• Bright White Clear-Coat
• Velvet Red Pearl-Coat

All monotone exterior colors are available in two-tone, with the body color of your choice and High-Gloss black on the roof.

Interior

The Jeep Grand Cherokee interior features small but impactful details. You and your passengers will be welcomed into the cabin with multicolor ambient LED lighting, allowing you to personalize the interior glow to fit your mood. 16-way power-adjustable front seats offer memory presets and a massage function, giving you the feel of your own personal spa on wheels.

Function and aesthetics come together to create luxury design elements throughout the interior. The Limited features teak and satin chrome accents, while the Summit offers piano-black HVAC tracers. Looking for luxury with an edge? The Trailhawk 4xe offers Nappa leather seats with red stitching.

SUVs are renowned for their cargo space, and the Grand Cherokee is no exception. The two-row Grand Cherokee has available seating for up to five and 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row.

Technology

Technology is at the forefront of the Grand Cherokee design, offering the most standard and available tech features within its class–starting with the newly-standard 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen.

The new infotainment display commands the cabin directly from the center of the dashboard. With the newly-standard navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a trial membership for SiriusXM, convenience and entertainment go hand in hand.

Whether you prefer classic rock or modern pop, get the front-row experience with the premium McIntosh audio system. The luxury system, standard on Summit models, includes a 17-channel amplifier delivered through 19 custom-designed speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers the most standard and available safety and security features in its class, allowing you to go the extra mile with peace of mind and confidence behind the wheel.

One of the new features is Hands-Free Active driving assist, which lets you take your hands off the wheel while keeping your eyes on the road. The system will monitor driver attentiveness, and the moment you start to become distracted or experience fatigue, the Jeep Grand Cherokee will issue visual and audible alerts to bring your focus back to the road.

For most drivers, getting behind the wheel after sunset may be anxiety-inducing. Now, however, the Grand Cherokee has an available night vision camera that uses infrared sensors to detect pedestrians and animals up to 328 feet ahead of the vehicle.

Other security and safety features include:

• Parallel and perpendicular park assist
