2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Unveiled: Bold Design, Advanced Tech, and Enhanced Off-Road Capabilities

May 9, 2026

Auburn Hills, MI – Jeep has officially unveiled the 2026 Grand Cherokee, bringing a refreshed design, cutting-edge technology, and improved performance to its flagship SUV. The latest iteration builds on the brand’s legacy of rugged capability while introducing new luxury and efficiency features to compete in the ever-evolving SUV market.

Sleeker Exterior, Premium Interior

The 2026 Grand Cherokee sports a more aggressive front fascia with a redesigned seven-slot grille, slimmer LED headlights, and a sculpted hood. Jeep has also introduced new wheel designs ranging from 18 to 21 inches, along with additional paint options, including an all-new 'Boulder Gray' matte finish.

Inside, the cabin receives upgrades with higher-quality materials, including available Nappa leather upholstery, real wood trim, and a new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The latest Uconnect 6 infotainment system supports over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an enhanced 19-speaker McIntosh audio system.

Powertrain Options: Efficiency Meets Performance

The 2026 Grand Cherokee continues to offer a range of engine choices:

3.6L Pentastar V6 (293 hp) – Standard on most trims

5.7L HEMI V8 (357 hp) – Available on higher trims

2.0L Turbocharged PHEV (375 hp combined) – Expanded electric-only range (now 28 miles)

High-Output 6.4L V8 (for SRT models) – Expected to deliver over 475 hp

Jeep has also confirmed that a fully electric Grand Cherokee (based on the STLA Large platform) is in development, though it won’t arrive until 2027.

Enhanced Off-Road and Safety Features

The Trailhawk and Overland trims now come with Jeep’s Selec-Terrain 2.0 system, offering improved traction management for rock crawling, sand, and mud. An available Quadra-Lift air suspension provides additional ground clearance, while new underbody skid plates enhance durability.

On the safety front, the 2026 model introduces Jeep’s new Active Driving Assist 2.0, offering hands-free highway driving under certain conditions, along with improved night vision and intersection collision avoidance.
