The Jeep® brand produces well-rounded SUVs with comfortable cabins, capable performance, and abundant practicality. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a quintessential Jeep® utility vehicle and a pioneer of its class, as it was among the first nameplates to help popularize the modern SUV era. Today, it remains one of the segment's most compelling options thanks to its attractive accommodations, appealing amenities, and rugged capability.
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available in two primary variants: a standard two-row model with seating for five and an extended-wheelbase variant with three rows and seating for up to seven. Shoppers from Somerville to Morristown can buy or lease the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L at Team Welsh Jeep Chrysler in Far Hills, NJ. Here's a quick look at some of their distinguishing attributes.
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee L: Performance and Efficiency
For the 2025 model year, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L are both powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 293 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. Or you can get a Quadra-Trac 4WD system as standard in Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve and optional in supporting tiers. When properly equipped, both SUVs can tow up to 6,200 pounds. Through 2024, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L offered a 5.7-liter V8 (357 horsepower/390 pound-feet of torque) as an option for the top three tiers, increasing the available towing capacity to 7,200 pounds.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is also available as a Jeep 4xe® model, but only in the standard two-row configuration. This plug-in hybrid variant combines a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine with an electric motor, generating 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. A 17.3-kWh battery helps improve efficiency to an EPA-rated 56 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent). It also enables an estimated 25 miles of electric-only range, letting you experience emissions-free morning commutes without relying solely on battery power.1 The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is also the only way to get the Trail Rated Trailhawk® trim level.
