Trim

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available in six trims: Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. With each trim, special features and designs are available so you can customize your Jeep. When you build your own Grand Cherokee on the website or visit a dealership, you can choose from these colors: Diamond Black Crystal Pearl, Baltic Grey Metallic, Silver Zynith, Velvet Red Pearl, and Bright White. In higher trims, starting with the Limited, you can also choose Rocky Mountain Pearl or Midnight Sky.

If you choose the Summit or Summit Reserve trim package then your exterior can be two-tone with any of the previous colors and black. These trims also come with 20-inch fully painted aluminum silver wheels. The Overland and Altitude trims also have 20-inch wheels, while the Limited and Laredo have 18-inch and 17-inch aluminum wheels respectively.

Power and Performance

You can choose all-wheel or front-wheel drive when buying a Jeep Grand Cherokee. There are also three engines to choose from depending on how much power you need. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine outputs 293 horsepower and can tow up to 6,200 pounds. It gets 26 mpg on the highway.

The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine offers a little more power with 357 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. To increase its efficiency, this engine automatically switches to only four activated cylinders when all eight aren’t needed.

If you want a hybrid vehicle, choose the 2-liter I4 Di Turbo Phev engine, which can operate on gas or electric. It has 375 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds.

Interior

Expert craftsmen designed the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s interior for luxury and comfort. Depending on the trim package you choose, you can have cloth or leather seats. In any trim you can choose a black interior, but Tupelo and Wicker Beige are also options for some trims. Sixteen-way adjustable seats are available for the driver and front-seat passenger, as well as a massage mode and pre-sets for different drivers and passengers.

Speaking of passengers, the Cherokee has an option of two- or three-row seating. This gives you the ability to take up to seven people on your trips in the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

There’s also lots of space for cargo. The Grand Cherokee Limited has 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room if you fold the second and third-row seats. The two-row model has 70.8 cubic feet of room for cargo. Even when you have three rows up for seven passengers, you have 17.2 cubic feet of room in the back for cargo, making this a great car for grocery trips, sports practice, and group vacations.

Technology

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee has everything you could want with its technology and entertainment features. It has a 10.1-inch touchscreen with multiple display options, including a rear-seat monitoring camera view so you can watch your pets, kids, or cargo while driving. With camera views, remember to always pay attention to the road and your other surroundings. This camera even enables you to zoom in on a specific seat. You can also get a screen for the front seat passenger, so they can easily view and give directions.

If you include the rear seat entertainment package, you can get miniature TVs for your passengers to watch movies during the drive. A premium McIntosh sound system is also available to boost your entertainment experience. This system has 19 speakers throughout the vehicle for a truly spectacular listening experience.

There’s also technology available for the driver, such as a 10-inch Head-Up display that projects essential information onto the windshield. Drivers can use this feature to monitor their speed, check directions, view fuel levels, or receive driving alerts without ever looking away from the road. The driver control panel is 10.25 inches and displays information behind the wheel. This instrument panel shows fuel levels, speed, directions, time, engine temperature, and other essential information about the vehicle systems. There’s also a wireless charging pad in the front for the driver or passengers to use.

Safety

As always, the safety of its passengers is a top priority for Jeep, and the Cherokee has over 110  features to create a safe and relaxing atmosphere. For example, the digital rearview mirror is available and uses a camera on the rear of your vehicle to view and display the road behind you. This is an incredibly useful feature for when you have passengers or cargo that may block the rear view. The rearview camera also displays a clear view in high definition. You can switch this feature on and off as needed.

With Active Driving Assist, you can relax and travel safely. This feature uses radar and sensors to make minor adjustments to your driving when in use. For example, it can ensure you keep a safe following distance from other vehicles and stay in your lane. Similar to this feature is the adaptive cruise control with stop and go. This helps set, maintain, and resume your speed while keeping a pre-selected distance from other vehicles on the road.

The Grand Cherokee also provides alerts for forward collision and pedestrian detection. If you don’t respond to the alert, the vehicle can respond for you by applying the brakes and preventing an accident. Using the surround-view camera, you can display an aerial view of your vehicle to detect anything in your path or behind you.

If you’re looking for a powerful and luxurious vehicle with a large seating capacity, then consider the Jeep Cherokee. You can visit your local dealership today to test drive one and find out for yourself if this is the right vehicle for you.
