2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe

The Grand Cherokee has four primary trim levels to consider in addition to several for the electric Grand Cherokee 4xe version. At the base level, the Grand Cherokee is known as the Laredo, and it features LED headlights and taillights in addition to 17-inch painted aluminum wheels. With the Limited trim, you get LED fog lights along with a power liftgate. Upgrade further to the Overland, and the wheels get a boost to 20 inches, and you also get a sunroof standard, rain-sensing wipers, and LED front corner lights. At the Summit trim level, the Grand Cherokee is equipped with 21-inch wheels along with several notable interior features.

For the standard Grand Cherokee 4xe model, you'll get gloss-black exterior mirrors that are heated and have supplemental signals. Upgrade to the 30th Anniversary trim, and the driver-side mirror gets automatic dimming too. The Trailhawk is the only 4xe trim with the coveted Trail-Rated badge, while the Overland sports chrome exterior accents and painted wheel flares. Meanwhile, the Summit offers 20-inch wheels, while the Summit Reserve boasts 21-inch wheels, adding plenty of extra style.

There are three engine options available with the new Grand Cherokee model. The standard already has plenty of power, as it's a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. If that's not enough, you can upgrade to the 5.7-liter V-8 with its 357 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. The Grand Cherokee 4xe has its own 2-liter I4 DOHC Di Turbo PHEV engine with 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.

The performance of the Grand Cherokee is impressive both on and off the road, but the Trailhawk 4xe is especially adept at conquering off-road challenges, being one of the first electric SUVs to surpass tests in traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation, and water fording. You'll also find three available 4x4 systems and a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds.

Inside the Grand Cherokee, you can enjoy functionality and comfort with the Summit model, considered the most luxurious vehicle in its class. You'll have the option for 16-way adjustable seats and a massage mode. The three-row version of the Grand Cherokee additionally offers 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space, while the two-row models still have an impressive 70.8 cubic feet.

Given how often SUVs are used as family cars, the Grand Cherokee is equipped with several impressive safety features. The available Active Driving Assist, for example, uses advanced sensors to make subtle adjustments ensuring a safe distance from other vehicles while keeping you centered in the lane.
