James CDJR of Cedar Lake - What to Know About the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee arrives with a confident stance, a refreshed face and capability that lives up to the nameplate’s legacy. Whether you spend most of your time gliding through weekday commutes or escaping for long weekends on the trail, the latest Grand Cherokee is engineered to meet you right where life happens—on pavement, dirt and everything in between.
Inside, the cabin blends upscale materials with smart, driver-focused technology. The centerpiece is a new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen, complemented by available features such as a Front Passenger Interactive Display, a premium McIntosh audio system and rear-seat entertainment. Add in thoughtful touches like a wireless charging pad and a hands-free power liftgate, and daily convenience becomes part of the adventure.
- Powertrain: A new 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine joins the lineup for strong acceleration and confident passing power.
- Capability: Available 4x4 systems, the Selec-Terrain drive mode selector and Quadra-Lift air suspension help tackle varying weather and off-road obstacles.
- Technology: The Uconnect 5 platform brings built-in navigation, smartphone integration and fast, intuitive controls.
- Safety: Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist, a 360-degree Surround View Camera and Night Vision enhance awareness and peace of mind.
- Versatility: Choose a two-row Grand Cherokee for five or the Grand Cherokee L for up to seven with flexible cargo configurations.
Capability is the core of the 2026 Grand Cherokee story. The available three-mode air suspension can lower at highway speeds for efficiency or raise to clear obstacles on the trail. Select from advanced 4x4 systems tuned for traction on slick streets and rugged routes alike. When properly equipped, the Grand Cherokee is also built to tow sizable loads—ideal for boats, campers or weekend gear—while a new Gen IV transmission supports smooth shifts and responsive performance.
Families will appreciate the practical touches. Available driver assistance features help with lane centering and traffic pacing, while the optional FamCAM interior camera on three-row models offers a quick check on the second and third rows. The cabin provides generous space for passengers, and the cargo area is thoughtfully shaped for strollers, coolers or home improvement runs. Fold seats to open up more room, or use the available power-folding third row to switch from people to cargo in moments.
Design updates give the 2026 model a modern face with a revised grille, new LED headlamps and a range of bold wheel choices. Inside, available ambient lighting sets the mood, while supportive seats—available with memory and massage—keep long drives comfortable. From weekday errands to cross-state road trips, the cabin stays quiet, connected and serene.
- Schedule a test drive: Feel the ride quality, ergonomics and visibility in person—nothing replaces seat time.
- Choose your layout: Decide between the two-row Grand Cherokee or the three-row Grand Cherokee L based on passengers and cargo needs.
- Match your traction tech: Compare 4x4 systems, drive modes and suspension options to your driving conditions.
