Sherman Jeep – What to Know About the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee arrives with a confident refresh that blends modern design, advanced capability and thoughtful family versatility. At Sherman Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, we see it as the SUV that keeps weekday life running smoothly while staying ready for weekend escapes. Whether you prioritize a refined drive, intuitive tech or proven 4×4 confidence, this Grand Cherokee lineup offers smart choices across two-row and three-row configurations.
Design updates are immediately noticeable. A reworked front fascia, a new grille and crisp LED headlamps deliver a bolder first impression, while the cabin emphasizes comfort and craftsmanship. Available premium materials, a quiet ride and generous storage solutions create a calm, upscale atmosphere. Two-row models seat five with ample cargo space, and the Grand Cherokee L adds a third row for up to seven, plus flexible seating and cargo arrangements that make school runs, road trips and home improvement projects simpler.
Capability remains the Grand Cherokee signature. The new 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine teams with a next-generation transmission for responsive power and confident efficiency. Available advanced 4×4 systems help you adapt to changing conditions, while available Quadra-Lift Air Suspension can raise the vehicle for trail clearance or lower it to enhance aerodynamics at speed. Selec-Terrain drive modes make toggling between daily driving and dirt road detours effortless. When it is time to bring the gear, the Grand Cherokee’s strong towing ratings and stable handling support boats, campers and cargo with assurance.
Technology steps forward in meaningful ways. A new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen anchors the dash with fast responses, user-friendly menus and newly standard navigation. Wireless smartphone compatibility, an available Head-Up Display and an available 10.25-inch digital cluster keep directions, calls and vehicle data within easy view. On select trims, passengers can access an available front-seat interactive display to share routes and media. Families will also appreciate available rear entertainment, available wireless charging and, on the Grand Cherokee L, an available interior camera that lets those up front keep tabs on the back rows.
Safety and driver assistance features are comprehensive. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist can help reduce fatigue on compatible roadways by combining speed control and lane centering with driver attentiveness monitoring. Available systems such as a 360-degree Surround View Camera, Night Vision Camera, Drowsy Driver Detection, Park Assist, adaptive cruise control and active lane management contribute to everyday confidence. The result is a composed SUV that works quietly in the background to help you stay aware of what is ahead, beside and behind.
