2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Engine Type

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee expands its lineup with a total of nine trims – Laredo A, Laredo, Laredo X, Altitude, Altitude X, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. The last three trims are locked into a 4×4 drivetrain, but the rest of the lineup can come with a 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain. Under the hood is a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine, optimized with variable valve timing (VVT) and electronic stop-start (ESS) for fuel economy, able to generate 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers a total towing capacity of 6200 pounds. Most of the lineup can upgrade to a 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine, able to generate 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers a total towing capacity of 7200 pounds.

Driving and Handling

All trims come with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine delivers 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. If you upgrade to the HEMI, the fuel economy is 14/22 mpg city/highway.

Exterior Features

With a more expansive lineup, Jeep spreads around an assortment of standard features, such as heated exterior mirrors, automatic headlamps, LED lighting (center, high-mounted stop lamp, front footwell, reflector headlamps and tail lamps), acoustic laminated front door and rear glass, an acoustic windshield, deep-tint privacy glass, and bright roof rails. Past the Attitude, those mirrors come with memory and supplemental signals, and automatic high-beam headlamp control and rain-sensitive windshield wipers become available. Past the Limited, bi-function LED premium reflector headlamps and front corner LED lamps, rain-sensitive windshield wipers are added.

Only the Cherokee Summit and Summit Reserve come with laminated rear glass. The roof rails become black after the Limited trim. A power liftgate is available for the Laredo and Laredo X, standard on the rest of the lineup. The standard wheel size is 17-inches, followed by 18-inches starting on the Laredo X trim, and 20-inches starting on the Overland trim.

Interior Features

Cloth upholstery is standard on the first three trims, followed by a Capri leatherette and suede combination starting on the Altitude, Nappa leather starting on the Overland, and Palermo on the Summit Reserve trim. Surprisingly, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat is standard, only bested by a 12- way power-adjustable driver seat in the Summit and Summit Reserve trims. A rear 60/40 split bench seat is a lineup standard, and heated front seats are standard after the base trim. A driver’s seat memory system and heated second-row seats are added starting on the Limited trim, and past the Limited trim, ventilated front seats become standard, with ventilated second-row seats reserved for the Summit Reserve trim.

Dual-zone automatic climate control is a lineup standard, replaced with a 4-zone system in the Summit and Summit Reserve trims. Ambient LED lighting is only found in the Limited trim. A power sunroof is standard on the Laredo X and Altitude X. A dual-pane panoramic sunroof becomes available starting on the Limited trim.

Entertainment

Uconnect 5 is standard in the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The difference is an 8.4-inch touchscreen display up until the Altitude trim, replaced with a 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation on the rest of the lineup. This means all trims come with Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto capability, integrated voice command, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, Jeep Connected services (trial), a trial for SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and a 4G LTE Wi-FI hotspot trial. A front passenger interactive display becomes available starting on the Overland trim.

A six-speaker sound system is standard, with a premium six-speaker sound system on the Limited trim and able to upgrade to an amplified 9-speaker sound system with a subwoofer. The latter is standard in the Overland and Summit. Both of these can upgrade to a 19-speaker high-performance sound system, standard in the Summit Reserve trim.
