2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee — Jeep’s refreshed midsize SUV with new powertrains, updated styling, tech, and capability: 

🚙 What’s New for 2026

The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee receives a mid-cycle refresh with revised exterior styling, an updated interior, and important changes under the hood — including a new high-efficiency turbo engine. 

🔧 Powertrains & Performance

1) 2.0L Hurricane Turbo I-4 (New Standard Engine)

• Horsepower: ~324 hp

• Torque: ~332 lb-ft

• Transmission: 8-speed automatic

• Towing Capacity: Up to 6,200 lbs

• EPA Estimates (City/Highway): ~21/27 mpg (manufacturer estimate)
  This turbo four blends improved fuel efficiency with strong torque and capability for a midsize SUV. 

2) 3.6L Pentastar V-6

• Still offered on the base Laredo/Laredo X trims.

• Slightly lower power than the Hurricane turbo with respectable everyday performance. 

3) 4xe Plug-In Hybrid (Availability May Vary)

• Some reports earlier indicated a 4xe PHEV totaling ~375 hp and ~470 lb-ft, with ~25 miles of electric-only range. However, Stellantis is reportedly phasing out some 4xe models in North America for 2026 — so availability may depend on region and production changes. 

🚗 Trims & Configurations

2026 Grand Cherokee is offered in several core trims:

• Laredo / Laredo X – Entry levels, often with the V-6 powertrain.

• Limited – Mid-range with more tech and comfort.

• Summit / Summit Reserve – Premium trim with upscale interior and features.
  Some trims (especially higher ones) include the new turbo I-4 as standard or available power. 

Both two-row and three-row (Grand Cherokee L) versions remain available — making it versatile for families or cargo duties. 

⛽ Fuel Economy (Approximate)

2.0L Hurricane Turbo I-4

• City: ~21 mpg

• Highway: ~27 mpg

• Combined: ~23-24 mpg (manufacturer estimates)

3.6L Pentastar V-6

• Slightly lower mpg than the turbo engine soft-launched. Specific EPA numbers will vary by trim and drivetrain.

4xe Plug-In Hybrid

🛋️ Interior & Technology

• 12.3″ Uconnect touchscreen standard in many trims, with optional passenger touchscreen. 

• Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. 

• Available premium sound systems and leather seating in upper trims.

The interior has a more upscale look than earlier Grand Cherokee models, with modern infotainment and materials across trim levels. 

🚘 Capability & Use

• Towing: Up to ~6,200 lbs with the new turbo engine. 

• Off-Road Tech: Selec-Terrain® traction modes and available 4×4 systems enhance handling across conditions. 

• Spacious cargo and passenger geometry, particularly in the Grand Cherokee L three-row version. 

💰 Pricing & Positioning

Official U.S. MSRP figures for 2026 models are still being finalized, but recent reporting suggests:

• Base Laredo: Starting near ~$40,700+

• Turbo-powered trims: Starting mid $40,000s+ depending on options and destination fees
