The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee hails from the most-awarded SUV lineup in automotive history. That legacy, along with its capable engine and well-appointed interior, makes the five-seater a test drive you shouldn’t miss when shopping for a versatile family vehicle.
What Makes the Grand Cherokee So Special?
It Packs a Powerful V6
Pop open the Grand Cherokee’s hood, and you will find a 3.6L Pentastar V6 that produces a robust 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain provides punchy acceleration for your day-to-day drives and conserves fuel with Electronic Stop/Start Technology. An 8-speed automatic transmission is standard, taking the hassle out of stop-and-go city driving. When the situation calls, the V6 provides enough muscle for the Grand Cherokee to tow an impressive 6,200 lbs.
It Offers All-Terrain-Capable 4×4 Systems
The Grand Cherokee features a selection of available 4×4 systems that allow drivers to confidently drive beyond the pavement. Options include Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II. Additionally, you can adapt each 4×4 system to different driving conditions with the available Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, which allows you to cycle between Auto, Sport, Rock, and Snow modes.
It Has a Comfortable Interior
The mid-size SUV offers premium seats and countless amenities to ensure comfort during long drives. The base model comes with an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, 4-way adjustable front passenger seat, and plush rear bench seats. Dual-zone automatic climate control allows front-row occupants to independently adjust the temperature and fan speed of their respective zones. The SUV also features front and rear 12V DC power outlets and multiple USB ports to keep devices powered.
It Is Technologically Advanced
You will find every modern technology in the automotive industry inside the Grand Cherokee’s cabin. In fact, at the Summit Reserve trim level, the SUV offers the most available tech features in its class. A 10-inch full-color head-up display, a night-vision camera that detects pedestrians, a 10.1-inch infotainment screen with Uconnect 5 NAV, and a premium McIntosh 19-speaker sound system are some of the standard and available tech luxuries you can enjoy during a test drive.
It Has a Semi-Autonomous Driving Mode
To make the highway miles more convenient, the SUV offers available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist. Once activated, the system uses cruise control, sensors, cameras, and GPS data to keep the Grand Cherokee centered in the lane and at a safe distance from other vehicles. Drivers need to actively monitor the road for Hands-Free Active Driving Assist to function properly, and the system issues visual and audible warnings if sufficient attention isn’t being paid.
