The quickest Grand Cherokee is the 4xe, which leaps to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and reaches a quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at 100 mph. A Trailhawk model with more robust off-road equipment and greater capability features an adjustable air suspension that provides up to 11.3 inches of ground clearance and a disconnecting anti-roll bar that allows greater wheel articulation for tackling difficult terrain. Several different all-wheel-drive systems are available, including an electronically locking limited-slip differential. Rear-wheel drive is standard with the base V-6, but all-wheel drive is standard on Grand Cherokees with the plug-in-hybrid powertrain. The hybrid's motor is juiced by a 14.0-kWh battery pack. The Grand is powered by either a 293-hp 3.6-liter V-6 or the plug-in-hybrid 4xe powertrain, which consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four and an electric motor delivering a combined 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
We'd spring for the Lux Tech Group II package, which adds rain-sensing windshield wipers, a wireless phone charger, perforated leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, a digital rearview mirror, second-row sun shades, a 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors, and a collision-avoidance feature that helps when traveling through intersections. The Limited comes standard with leather upholstery, a power-operated rear liftgate, heated front and rear seats, power-adjustable front seats, interior ambient lighting, automatic high-beams, and remote start. Still, we think the Limited model represents the best mix of features, besting the base Laredo with more equipment to satisfy luxury buyers. The Grand Cherokee starts thousands higher than rivals such as the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade-consider it the Jeep-brand tax-and its higher trims are priced similarly to some luxury SUVs.
