  • Highs Good-looking exterior, wide range of available models, high-end models add luxury to the adventure.
  • Lows Not all models come standard with all-wheel drive, plug-in-hybrid powertrain needs polish, loaded models carry eye-popping price tags.

Overview

Jeep is the SUV expert, and although the brand is best known for off-road icons such as the Wrangler, vehicles like the 2024 Grand Cherokee appeal to a broader audience, earning it a spot on our 2024 Editors' Choice list. The Grand Cherokee is a two-row mid-size SUV—not to be confused with the three-row Grand Cherokee L—and while it's designed to be more at home on paved highways, Jeep has engineered it with enough off-road capability to stay true to its adventure-seeking ethos. A V-6 powers most models, but a plug-in-hybrid system called 4xe is available too, and it's standard on the Grand Cherokee's most capable model, the Trailhawk. To bolster the Grand Cherokee's allure, Jeep offers a wide range of trims that start with the spartan Laredo and work up to the legitimately luxurious Summit Reserve, which is nice enough to challenge rivals from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

What's New for 2024?

Other than some new 18-inch polished aluminum wheels for the mid-range Limited trim, the Grand Cherokee SUV rolls into 2024 unchanged.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee starts at $39,830 and goes up to $75,140 depending on the trim and options.

    The Grand Cherokee starts thousands higher than rivals such as the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade—consider it the Jeep-brand tax—and its higher trims are priced similarly to some luxury SUVs. Still, we think the Limited model represents the best mix of features, besting the base Laredo with more equipment to satisfy luxury buyers. The Limited comes standard with leather upholstery, a power-operated rear liftgate, heated front and rear seats, power-adjustable front seats, interior ambient lighting, automatic high-beams, and remote start. We'd spring for the Lux Tech Group II package, which adds rain-sensing windshield wipers, a wireless phone charger, perforated leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, a digital rearview mirror, second-row sun shades, a 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors, and a collision-avoidance feature that helps when traveling through intersections.

    Engine, Transmission, and Performance

    The Grand is powered by either a 293-hp 3.6-liter V-6 or the plug-in-hybrid 4xe powertrain, which consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four and an electric motor delivering a combined 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid's motor is juiced by a 14.0-kWh battery pack. Rear-wheel drive is standard with the base V-6, but all-wheel drive is standard on Grand Cherokees with the plug-in-hybrid powertrain. Several different all-wheel-drive systems are available, including an electronically locking limited-slip differential. A Trailhawk model with more robust off-road equipment and greater capability features an adjustable air suspension that provides up to 11.3 inches of ground clearance and a disconnecting anti-roll bar that allows greater wheel articulation for tackling difficult terrain. The quickest Grand Cherokee is the 4xe, which leaps to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and reaches a quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at 100 mph. At our test track, a V-6–powered Summit test vehicle managed a respectable 7.4-second run to 60 mph. The Grand Cherokee is impressively composed, and it's got an exceptionally smooth ride.

      Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

      Fuel-economy estimates for the V-6-powered Grand Cherokee are typical of the mid-size-SUV segment at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway when paired with rear-wheel drive. Adding all-wheel drive drops each of those estimates by 1 mpg. The plug-in-hybrid 4xe delivers better fuel economy and is rated for 23 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. It comes with a 14.0-kWh battery pack and a 134-hp electric motor that allows the Grand Cherokee to cruise for up to 26 miles per charge. Jeep boasts that the Grand Cherokee with the 4xe powertrain completed the famed Rubicon Trail entirely in its EV driving mode. For more information about the Grand Cherokee's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

      Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

      A thoroughly modernized cabin replaces the outgoing Grand Cherokee's somewhat dated interior. While base Laredo models offer the essentials, upscale Summit and Overland trims will add luxuries including quilted leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, and high-tech digital displays. The Grand Cherokee is strictly a two-row SUV, but buyers seeking a third row can upgrade to the Grand Cherokee L, which we review separately. We haven't had a chance to test the new Grand Cherokee yet, but we expect it to accommodate more of our carry-on suitcases than the previous generation model.

        Infotainment and Connectivity

        Floating just above the surface of the Grand Cherokee's dashboard is either an 8.4- or 10.1-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. In-dash navigation with real-time traffic and weather updates is optional, and higher-end models can be had with a digital gauge cluster, a 10.0-inch head-up display, and another 10.3-inch display embedded into the dashboard for use by the front-seat passenger. While the Laredo and Limited models ship with a standard six-speaker stereo, buyers can upgrade to either a nine-speaker Alpine audio setup or a high-end 19-speaker McIntosh arrangement.

          Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

          Overall Safety Rating (NHTSA)

          StarStarStarStarStar
          View Crash Test Results

          Driver-assistance features such as pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and semi-autonomous driving modes are becoming increasingly important to shoppers, and Jeep is delivering a more comprehensive suite of standard safety tech to satisfy that demand. For more information about the Grand Cherokee's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

          • Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
          • Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
          • Standard adaptive cruise control

          Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

          Although the Grand Cherokee has moved toward the premium end of the market, its standard warranty package has remained basic. Rivals such as the Telluride and the Hyundai Santa Fe both offer longer terms here, but the Jeep's warranty lines up with most other mainstream rivals, including the Chevrolet Blazer and the Ford Edge.

          • Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
          • Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
          • Three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance is included
