Interior

Inside, the cabin receives updates centred on technology and comfort. The new 12.3-inch infotainment unit serves as the hub for connectivity and vehicle controls, replacing the previous system. This screen works alongside available features such as a 10.25-inch passenger display, which allows front-seat occupants to access entertainment or navigation independently.

Materials and finishes vary by trim level. The Laredo features standard cloth upholstery, while the Limited trim includes leatherette seating with heated second-row capability. Summit models step up to Palermo leather seats with driver and passenger massage functions, plus a suede headliner. Oak and Liquid Chrome interior accents debut on the Summit trim, providing visual distinction at the top of the range. Ambient interior lighting enhances the cabin atmosphere on Limited and higher trims.

Features

Powertrain

The Hurricane 4 Turbo marks a significant addition to the Grand Cherokee powertrain lineup. This 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder uses Turbulent Jet Ignition technology, which ignites fuel in a pre-chamber above each cylinder before expanding into the main combustion chamber. This process enables faster, more complete combustion, contributing to both performance and efficiency.

The engine produces 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, with 90 percent of peak torque available from 2,600 to 5,600 rpm. A variable geometry turbocharger provides responsive boost at low engine speeds for acceleration and cruising. The Hurricane 4 Turbo enables a driving range of up to 814 kilometres on a single tank and supports a towing capacity of up to 2,812 kg (6,200 lbs). This engine is assembled at the Dundee, Michigan, Engine Plant and will be available across multiple Grand Cherokee trims.

The base Laredo and Laredo X trims carry over the 3.6-litre V-6 engine from the previous model year. The Grand Cherokee 4xe continues to offer plug-in hybrid propulsion, pairing electric and gasoline power for a total of 470 lb-ft of torque. The Trailhawk trim, available exclusively with the 4xe powertrain, provides the highest departure angle and standard torque in the lineup.

Technology

The 12.3-inch infotainment system represents the primary technology upgrade for 2026. This unit replaces the outgoing screen and serves as the interface for navigation, audio, and vehicle settings. A nine-speaker Alpine premium audio system comes standard on Limited trims, while Summit models feature an exclusive 19-speaker McIntosh system. The McIntosh setup provides dedicated tweeters, mid-range speakers, and subwoofers for detailed sound reproduction.

Hands-free Active Driving Assist becomes available across the lineup, allowing drivers to operate the vehicle without constant steering input on compatible roads. A rear-facing Fam Cam is offered on three-row Grand Cherokee L models, providing visibility to backseat passengers through the infotainment display. Additional tech options include Night Vision, a 360-degree camera, and an integrated off-road camera that helps drivers navigate obstacles.

Traffic Sign Recognition and Intersection Collision Assist now come standard on the Laredo Altitude trim. These systems monitor road signs and alert drivers to potential intersection hazards. The optional digital rearview mirror displays a camera feed in place of the traditional mirror view, improving visibility when cargo or passengers obstruct the rear window.

Version

Laredo opens the range with the Pentastar V-6, 17-inch wheels, and chrome exterior detailing. Laredo X maintains the V-6 while adding a sunroof, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, power liftgate, and wireless charging pad. Laredo Altitude introduces the Hurricane 4 Turbo engine alongside Selec-Terrain 4x4 system and the larger infotainment display. Limited adds Silver Silk exterior accents, leatherette seating, heated second-row seats, nine-speaker Alpine audio, and ambient cabin lighting.

Limited Reserve and Limited Altitude packages bring 20-inch black wheels, body-colour lower fascias, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Nappa leather seats with matching door panels, ventilated front seats, and the off-road camera. Summit features Palermo leather upholstery, suede headliner, massaging front seats for driver and passenger, air suspension paired with Quadra-Trac II 4x4 system, and the McIntosh premium audio arrangement.
