The Jeep Grand Cherokee was one of the initial mid-size SUVs. Introduced in 1992, the Grand Cherokee became synonymous with family-friendly, all-encompassing capabilities.
For 2020, the Grand Cherokee will remain mainly on course with only minor updates. The fourth-generation was initially published in 2011 but has received small updates throughout its lifetime to maintain it fresh.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is accessible in four distinct motors. The normal offering is a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 with 295 horsepower and 260-pound torque, coupled to an8-speed automatic transmission. Both two and four-wheel drive alternatives are accessible.
With two-wheel drive, the 3.6-liter Grand Cherokee is EPA-estimated to reach 19 miles per gallon town, 26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. Four-wheel drive designs return 18 mpg town, 25 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. Properly fitted, the V6-powered Grand Cherokee can take up to 6,200 pounds.
Stepping up from here, the Grand Cherokee is accessible with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8. This engine generates a good 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, and once again an 8-speed automatic transmission is standard. The Hemi V8 can only be coupled with four-wheel drive and is estimated to return 14 mpg town, 22 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined. All V8-powered Grand Cherokees — including those listed below — are rated at the tow of 7,200 pounds.
The 2020 Grand Cherokee SRT has a more performance-oriented strategy and utilizes a 6.4-liter V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The 4WD/8AT mix continues here, although the fuel economy has a tiny impact, with scores of 13 mpg town, 19 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined.
Finally, there’s the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which utilizes the supercharged Fiat-Chrysler 6.2-liter Hellcat V8. This Jeep produces an amazing 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, enabling the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk to accelerate faster than most sports cars. Of course, this amount of energy implies a severe decrease in fuel efficiency; Trackhawk is rated at 11 mpg town, 17 mpg highway and 13 mpg combined.
The Grand Cherokee can be fitted with or without a self-leveling air suspension. In addition, there are four distinct four-wheel-drive systems available, the best of which is the Quadra-Drive II option, which is standard on the V8-powered Summit trim and every Trailhawk model. Wheel dimensions range from 17 inches on the Grand Cherokee base to 20 inches on the SRT and Trackhawk models.

While other midsize SUVs offer seats for six or seven travelers, the Grand Cherokee utilizes a two-row, five-seater design. Cloth and leather upholstery are accessible, with two distinct multimedia technologies (more on that in time). The Grand Cherokees can be fitted with comparatively fundamental designs, or they can be fitted with high-quality leather, heated and cooled seats, a premium audio system and a panoramic moonroof.
When it comes time to haul, the Grand Cherokee offers 36.3 cubic feet of space behind its rear seats. Fold those seats flat, and the rear area expands to accommodate 68.3 cubic feet of cargo.
Fiat-Chrysler’s Uconnect Infotainment software is a favorite of the Roadshow. It’s fast to react to inputs and simple to work with and provides a lot of functionality. Plus, every Grand Cherokee comes with an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.
The Grand Cherokee base comes with a 7-inch Uconnect screen, but every other grade comes with an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland and Summit trims come with specialized off-road websites, and SRT and Trackhawk have extra performance readings.
Each Grand Cherokee comes standard with blind-spot monitoring, hill-start assistance, rear parking sensors, trailer control, and other characteristics. Adaptive cruise control is optional for some greater trims and standard for upper-crust models— as are forward-collision warnings and parallel and perpendicular park assistance.
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Pricing
The most basic 2020 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4×2 starts at $32,045, not including destination. Laredo models can only be had with the 3.6-liter V6, and come standard with things like automatic headlights, cloth seats, two USB ports, and a 7-inch infotainment display.
From there, the Limited, Trailhawk and Overland models give more luxury features, with the Trailhawk having an off-road advantage. These models are priced at $39,855, $44,955 and $46,295 respectively. The 3.6-liter V6 is standard, but the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is optional.
The Grand Cherokee Summit features a Quadra-Lift air suspension (as do Trailhawk and Overland) as well as xenon headlamps and LED fog lamps, a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, Natura Plus leather, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. The beginning of the summit costs $51,995.
Finally, the performance-focused SRT and Trackhawk models are priced at $68,395 and $86,900. They all have the same facilities as the Summit trim, as well as the performance infotainment websites and various drive methods mentioned above. Trackhawk can raise $100,000 when fully optioned, but still represents a severe deal over high-performance SUVs that cost twice as much.
