Key Features of the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo Engine
New to the lineup, the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine delivers up to 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, putting a confident surge of power under your right foot. It pairs strong low-end torque with a smooth, linear response that makes merging, passing, and towing feel assured. With a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, you can bring a trailer, pair of ATVs, or a family boat without second-guessing. Jeep engineers tuned this engine for everyday refinement too, so it pulls hard when you ask and settles into a quiet, relaxed cadence on the highway. For many drivers near Paris, TN, that dual-purpose personality—strong yet composed—makes it a perfect fit for mixed commutes and family trips.
New Gen IV Transmission
The new Gen IV transmission is designed to maximize the Hurricane engine’s strengths, with ratios and shift logic that balance responsive acceleration with calm, quiet cruising. It enhances drivability in stop-and-go traffic and brings decisive downshifts when you call for more power. On winding backroads, the powertrain feels cohesive—quick to react, yet never abrupt. The transmission also works seamlessly with available 4x4 systems and the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, ensuring that power delivery remains smooth and secure across road surfaces. When towing, the refined shift strategy helps maintain control and composure on inclines and during highway passes, underscoring the Grand Cherokee’s well-rounded capability.
Uconnect® 5 NAV with 12.3-Inch Touchscreen
At the center of the cabin is a newly standard 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen with built-in navigation, offering crisp graphics, customizable layouts, and intuitive menus. Apple CarPlay® support and Android Auto™ compatibility bring your smartphone essentials into easy reach, while a trial subscription to SiriusXM® adds a deep library of music, sports, news, and talk. Available technology like the 10-inch Head-Up Display, 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display, and the Class-Exclusive available Front Passenger Interactive Touchscreen Display expand how you see and control information. The available Digital Rearview Mirror provides a high-definition camera view when cargo blocks the rear window, and available rear-seat entertainment keeps passengers engaged with streaming options. It all works together to make the Grand Cherokee feel like your own personalized command center.
Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension and Selec-Terrain®
Capability is more than a badge on the tailgate—it is a coordinated suite of systems. The Class-Exclusive available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System uses electronic semiactive damping to adapt ride height and firmness to the moment. It can automatically lower at highway speeds for aerodynamic efficiency and a planted feel, or raise to increase clearance when the pavement ends. Pair it with the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System—Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand—and the Grand Cherokee adapts to conditions with impressive finesse. Choose among advanced available 4x4 systems including Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II®, and Quadra-Drive® II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential. For drivers who split time between smooth interstates, rural lanes, and gravel job sites, this is the hardware that inspires confidence.
Advanced Driver Assistance and Safety
The Grand Cherokee offers the most standard and available safety and security features in its class, supporting you with intelligence that feels natural, not intrusive. The semiautonomous Active Driving Assist System uses cameras and sensors to help you maintain a set distance and stay centered in your lane, while available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist can allow hands-off operation on compatible roads when the system determines conditions are right. Available features like a 360º Surround View Camera, Night Vision Camera that uses infrared sensors, Drowsy Driver Detection, and Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist add layers of awareness in real-world scenarios. Standard systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, and the ParkView® Back Up Camera with ParkSense® Park Assist further elevate everyday peace of mind.
