2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trims & Pricing in Ontario, CA
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee is built around three core trims: Laredo, Limited, and Summit. Four supporting configurations fill in the ladder between them. Starting MSRP runs from $40,915 MSRP to $62,595 MSRP, and every two-row model seats five.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
This guide breaks down what each configuration includes. It covers what the two engines deliver, and where the money goes as you move up the lineup.
What Trim Levels Are Available for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The 2026 Grand Cherokee is offered in three primary trim levels: Laredo, Limited, and Summit. Four supporting configurations sit alongside them: Laredo X, Laredo Altitude, 85th Anniversary Edition, and Limited Reserve. These add package contents and trim features to the main trims. They are not separate models.
That structure matters when you shop. A supporting configuration inherits its base trim’s character, then layers specific equipment on top. So pick the core trim that fits first. Then choose the package that finishes it.
2026 Grand Cherokee Configurations at a Glance
| Configuration | Standard Engine | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|

What Changed for 2026
Several familiar names did not return. The Overland, Summit Reserve, and Trailhawk were all dropped, and Jeep discontinued the Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid. Shoppers cross-referencing older listings should expect a shorter, simpler ladder than the one they remember. For a wider view of the model year, see our 2026 Grand Cherokee overview.
What Engines and Fuel Economy Does the 2026 Grand Cherokee Offer?
The 2026 Grand Cherokee offers two gasoline engines, each paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is standard on the Laredo and Laredo X. Every configuration from the Laredo Altitude up receives the new 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo.
The Hurricane adds 31 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque over the V6. It also improves EPA-Estimated fuel economy rather than trading efficiency for output. That is unusual for a step up in power.
Powertrain and EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | EPA-Estimated MPG | Standard On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 293 hp | 260 lb-ft | 19 city / 26 highway / 22 combined | Laredo, Laredo X |
| 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo | 324 hp | 332 lb-ft | 21 city / 27 highway / 23 combined (rear-wheel drive); 21 city / 26 highway / 23 combined (four-wheel drive) | Laredo Altitude, Limited, 85th Anniversary Edition, Limited Reserve, Summit |
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
How Much Can the 2026 Grand Cherokee Tow and Carry?
Both engines reach the same maximum tow rating, so towing alone does not decide which one to buy. Jeep rates the 2026 Grand Cherokee at a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds, a figure most midsize rivals do not match.
Reaching that number requires the Trailer Tow Package and the correct configuration. Not every Grand Cherokee is rated for it, so confirm the build before you buy. Owners hauling horse trailers around Norco will want that package specified up front.
Capability and Cargo at a Glance
| Measure | Two-Row Grand Cherokee |
|---|---|
| Seating capacity | 5 passengers |
| Cargo volume behind the second row | 37.7 cubic feet |
| Maximum cargo volume, rear seats folded | 70.8 cubic feet |
| Maximum towing capacity, properly equipped | 6,200 pounds |
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Four-Wheel-Drive Systems
Jeep offers two four-wheel-drive systems on the 2026 Grand Cherokee. Quadra-Trac I is a single-speed full-time system. Quadra-Drive II adds a two-speed transfer case with low-range gearing and a rear electronic limited-slip differential. It is the system fitted to the Summit. Both work with the Selec-Terrain traction management system.
How Much Does the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Cost?
Starting MSRP for the 2026 Grand Cherokee runs from $40,915 MSRP for the Laredo to $62,595 MSRP for the Summit. Four-wheel drive adds $2,000 to the starting MSRP on the four configurations where rear-wheel drive is standard.

What Separates the Laredo, Limited, and Summit?
The three core trims separate on powertrain, seating material, screen size, audio, wheels, and suspension. Moving up the ladder changes the character of the vehicle. It is not just a longer equipment list.

Laredo and Laredo X
The Laredo opens the lineup with 18-inch aluminum wheels, LED headlights and taillights, heated side mirrors, and keyless entry and starting. Inside are cloth upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system.
The Laredo X is where the convenience equipment arrives. It adds a moonroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a power liftgate, and remote start. The cabin gains heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and wireless phone charging.
Laredo Altitude
The Laredo Altitude is the entry point to the Hurricane engine. It also brings revised front and rear bumpers, black 18-inch wheels, and darkened exterior trim. The cabin gains synthetic leather upholstery, satin-chrome trim, upgraded speakers, and the 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation.
Limited and Limited Reserve
The Limited rides on 20-inch wheels and adds a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated second-row seats, ambient lighting, and a nine-speaker system. The Limited Reserve, offered only with four-wheel drive, is distinguished by black 20-inch wheels, a dual-pane panoramic moonroof, and body-color lower-body trim. It also brings Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and a power tilt and telescoping steering column.
Summit
The Summit rides on height-adjustable air suspension and 21-inch wheels, with an upgraded transfer case, a limited-slip rear differential, hill descent control, and a trailer-hitch receiver. A black roof sets it apart visually, and it adds upgraded LED headlights and a hands-free power liftgate.
Inside are Palermo leather, massaging front seats with additional adjustability, ventilated rear seats, rear-window sunshades, four-zone automatic climate control, and a front-passenger touchscreen. The 19-speaker McIntosh audio system runs a 17-channel amplifier delivering up to 950 watts through a 10-inch subwoofer. Our 2026 Grand Cherokee interior features guide covers the cabin in more depth.
How Do Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Scale Across the Lineup?
Every 2026 Grand Cherokee carries the same driver-assistance baseline from the Laredo up. The more advanced systems arrive in tiers as you climb the ladder.
Where Each Safety Feature Becomes Standard
| Feature | Standard From |
|---|---|
| Forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection | Laredo |
| Automatic emergency braking | Laredo |
| Lane departure warning | Laredo |
| Adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go | Laredo |
| Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert | Laredo |
| Rear parking sensors with automatic braking | Laredo |
| Front cross-traffic alert and road-sign recognition | Laredo Altitude |
| Automatic high beams | Limited |
| 360-degree camera system with off-road view | Limited Reserve |
| Front and side parking sensors | Limited Reserve |
| Automated parking | Summit |
| Driver-attention monitor | Summit |
Two further systems are available rather than standard. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist combines sensor data and speed control. On approved roads it lets the driver take their hands off the wheel, and it monitors driver attentiveness. The available Night Vision Camera scans for pedestrians and animals up to 328 feet ahead using infrared sensors.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
