Fifth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee
Jeep made significant updates to the Grand Cherokee for its fifth generation, introducing a new exterior design and interior style that carries through the rest of the Jeep lineup.
In addition to its fresh look, this generation Grand Cherokee arrives with a new vehicle architecture, allowing for a considerably wider range of models. New variants include the first-ever three-row version, the Grand Cherokee L, as well as the Grand Cherokee 4xe, the first electrified model with a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Inside, the new Grand Cherokee delivers a high-tech vibe, thanks to its vibrant 10.1-inch display running the latest, fastest version of the brand’s Uconnect® infotainment system alongside a dedicated 10.25-inch display for the front passenger.
The Grand Cherokee’s off-road prowess continues into the fifth generation with three available 4WD systems, including Quadra-Drive II® offering an updated Quadra-Lift® air suspension that boasts 11.3 inches of ground clearance and 24 inches of water fording.

Fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee
The fourth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee significantly improved on-road performance while retaining its legendary off-road capability.
Still boasting the Jeep-signature seven-slot grille, the fourth-generation Grand Cherokee was more aerodynamic. Overall drivability was improved with a 5.3-inch-longer wheelbase, while the added length resulted in 4 more inches of rear-seat legroom and 5.6 more cubic feet of cargo space. The then-new 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 was standard, with a 5.7-liter V8 available.
The fourth gen Grand Cherokee received several new features, including a power liftgate, dual-pane sunroof, Sirius® Backseat TV, Uconnect® Web, and Bluetooth® hands-free calling and music streaming. Jeep also added advanced driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Overland trim added luxury features like a chrome grille, Nappa leather seats, and more.
In 2015 Jeep introduced the Grand Cherokee SRT, powered by a 6.4-liter V8 with 475 horsepower. Two years later the Trackhawk debuted with a 707-horsepower supercharged V8.
