Jeep's bestselling SUV offers a new four-cylinder engine. But which trim should you pick? The Jeep Grand Cherokee combines the brand's rugged capability with everyday comfort. For the 2026 model year, Jeep offers seven trim levels, ranging from just under $41,000 to over $62,000.
Our budget-conscious brains would typically advise buyers to at least look at the Laredo Altitude for $46,355 since it unlocks access to the new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 324 horsepower. Lower trims get a 3.6-liter V-6 with 293 horsepower, with either rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.

The Limited Reserve is where the Grand Cherokee stops feeling like a mainstream SUV and starts to get legitimate luxury features. This trim adds nappa leather seats with heating and ventilation for the driver and passenger, a panoramic moonroof, a 360-degree camera system, a digital rearview mirror, a power-adjustable steering column with memory, and dark exterior accents, including 20-inch wheels.
If you plan to take your Grand Cherokee off the pavement, the Limited Reserve also includes a terrain management system with all-wheel drive standard. The Limited Reserve is well-equipped from the start, but there are a few standalone options and packages available. We'd think hard about the Premium Pack for $2865, and the Trailer-Tow Package is a no-brainer for $995 if you plan to do any towing with your Grand Cherokee.
