This new turbocharged engine offers a punchy, responsive feel while maintaining solid fuel economy, providing drivers with a modern balance of power and efficiency.

Jeep didn't just add more power under the hood; the 2026 Grand Cherokee is still built for serious adventure. It offers up to 6,200 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, meaning you can easily haul boats, campers, or trailers with confidence. Off the pavement, three advanced 4x4 systems—Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II—ensure that power goes exactly where it's needed. Paired with Selec-Terrain traction management, the Grand Cherokee adapts seamlessly to mud, snow, sand, or rock conditions. Jeep even tuned the new turbo engine to deliver peak torque early in the rev range, so you get that instant pull whether you're merging onto the highway or climbing a rocky trail. It's that signature Jeep balance of refinement and ruggedness that continues to make the Grand Cherokee such a standout.
