What Is the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size SUV with five seats in two rows. It’s powered by a 293-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 or a 375-hp, “4xe” plug-in hybrid powertrain consisting of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. The PHEV uses a 17.3-kilowatt-hour battery and has an EPA-estimated electric-only driving range of 26 miles. Both engines are coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Models fitted with the V-6 can be had with rear- or four-wheel drive, while the PHEV comes solely with four-wheel drive.
The extensive tech and comfort features offered in the Grand Cherokee are impressive, especially in high-end trims like the Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve. True to Jeep tradition, the Grand Cherokee excels at all-terrain adventuring when equipped with options like an adaptive air suspension, an off-road camera system, underbody skid plates and a limited-slip differential. Rivals include the Ford Edge, Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota 4Runner and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.
What’s New on the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Should I Buy the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Depending on the trim, the Grand Cherokee can be a nicely appointed family runabout or a luxury SUV loaded with features including leather seats, real wood trim and a premium audio system. Keep in mind, though, that the price of the Grand Cherokee just about doubles once you’ve scaled the highest reaches of the Summit and Summit Reserve trims when fitted with the optional plug-in hybrid powertrain. If you’re considering a Grand Cherokee but need additional passenger room, the larger Grand Cherokee L has three rows of seats.
