Numbers on a spec sheet are one thing, but what matters is what you can actually do. The Jeep Grand Cherokee pulls heavier trailers, clears rougher terrain, and stretches to a longer wheelbase when a spacious third row matters. The Ford Explorer covers the everyday, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee gives families more room to grow and more ground to cover.

Capability means different things on different terrain, and families need different amounts of room. The Jeep Grand Cherokee answers both: more ways to match traction to conditions, earned proof of what it can handle off pavement, and a longer body to accommodate your whole crew and their gear. Meanwhile, the Toyota 4Runner gives drivers fewer of those choices.^*

Long drives ask a lot of a family SUV: rough ground under the tires, hours behind the wheel, and passengers in back who want something to watch. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a solution for each one, clearing more obstacles, easing highway stretches, and keeping everyone entertained. The Honda Pilot leaves drivers to manage all three themselves.^*

The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers three 4x4 systems, each tuned for tougher terrain. Quadra-Trac I® stays engaged for all-weather traction. Quadra-Trac II® adds a two-speed low transfer case and sensors that catch slip early. Quadra-Drive® II handles the hardest going, routing full torque to the axle with the most grip for steep climbs, rocks, and deep mud.

Primed for Power

When you drive a Jeep, you have certain expectations. The Jeep Grand Cherokee exceeds these expectations, not only with its impressive power but also with its range of power options. Regardless of which configuration you choose, the Grand Cherokee delivers a maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds.

Power is only half the performance equation. While important, it’s essential to consider what your SUV can do with that power. Proudly carrying the Jeep name, the Grand Cherokee can head off the beaten path and rewrite what “accessible off-roading" looks like. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System lets you toggle among five off-roading modes (Auto, Sport, Rock, Mud/Sand, and Snow) to reel in capabilities, while the choice of three 4x4 systems enhances confidence.

Five Tests, One Badge

The Trail Rated® badge on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is earned. Jeep engineers and tests every Trail Rated® vehicle against five key off-road measures to turn tough terrain into familiar ground:

• Traction
• Ground Clearance
• Maneuverability
• Articulation
• Water Fording

The Trailhawk backs it up with best-in-class ground clearance of 11.4 inches plus best-in-class approach, breakover, and departure angles.** High air intakes, special water sealing, and the Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System let it ford up to 24 inches of water.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is roughly 10 inches longer and adds a third row. At 204.9 inches, it seats six with second-row captain’s chairs or seven with a second-row bench. The two-row Jeep Grand Cherokee measures 193.5 inches and seats five, so you can pick the one that matches how many people you carry.

Distinctive Design

Among distinguishing exterior features are the iconic seven-slot grille that makes the Grand Cherokee unmistakenly Jeep. Sleek LED headlights cast a crisp light beam across even the darkest roads and help ensure you’ll be able to see and be seen. Updated exterior accents include Gloss Black mirror caps, available body-color options, and a range of wheel designs in 18 to 21 inches.

Just because your Jeep is ready to rough it doesn’t mean you have to. The Grand Cherokee provides interior amenities often reserved for luxury vehicles. These available features include:

• 16-way power front seats with memory
• Massage mode
• Teak and satin chrome or piano black accents
• Multicolor ambient LED lighting
• Leather upholstery
• Ventilated front seats

While you travel the road, the Jeep Grand Cherokee turns heads with its iconic design profile. The best part? No matter where the road leads, you and your companions will remain comfortable inside the upscale cabin.

Go Long: The 3-Row Grand Cherokee L

Continuing to flex its adaptability muscle, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers two wheelbase lengths. The Grand Cherokee L’s longer wheelbase extends the seating capacity from five to seven and offers a best-in-class second-row legroom.** With more family and friends on board, make sure they’re all comfortable with the available Quad-Zone Automatic Temperature Control.

Since more people typically means more stuff, the Grand Cherokee L with its available power-folding third row bench is prepared to adapt its space to fit your needs.

Whether you and your partner are heading off the grid to a remote campsite, you’re carting home a new piece of furniture, or you’re transporting your son’s intramural sports team to a game, there’s room for everyone and everything.

Jeep Connect links your smartphone to your Jeep Grand Cherokee so you can control it from anywhere. Lock or unlock the doors, start the engine, and sound the horn or flash the lights. Locate your Jeep Grand Cherokee in a packed lot, look up destinations and push directions to the touchscreen, and receive vehicle health reports to track service.

Advanced A/V

When you’re out and about, you want a way to stay in touch. Integrated Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure you can always connect with your favorite people or place that dinner take-out order on your way home. The available wireless charging pad will keep those devices powered without cable clutter.

Access essential driving information on the standard 10.25-inch Digital Cluster Display with navigation and your apps, maps, and playlists through the available 12.3-inch touchscreen. Jeep continues to up the ante with that available Interior FamCam™ on the Grand Cherokee L that provides the ability to view on the two rear rows.

Keep the party going and eliminate the constant chorus of “Are we there yet?” by adding the available Rear Seat Entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV, so your back-row passengers can stream movies, play games, and more. Meanwhile, you can also turn your Grand Cherokee cabin into your private concert venue with the available 19-speaker Premium McIntosh® Audio System. Its 950 watts and 10-inch subwoofer ensure every note is crystal clear.

Safety Standout

The Jeep Grand Cherokee sets itself apart from other SUVs with its sophisticated selection of standard and available safety features. These features work with your safe-driving habits to maximize visibility and make every commute feel effortless. Among its many standard safety systems are:

 
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
• Active Lane Management
• Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection
• ParkView® Rear Back up Camera with ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
• Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection

Meanwhile, the available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system uses sensors and cruise control to let you sit back and relax while the Grand Cherokee does the rest on approved highways.
