Introducing the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Base enters the midsize SUV segment as a refined three-row option crafted with both active families and outdoors enthusiasts in mind.

Positioned competitively against SUVs like the Kia Sorento and Toyota Grand Highlander, this Grand Cherokee L transcends mere utility by imbuing Jeep’s heritage of toughness and versatility.
This model year offers a refreshed lineup with subtle exterior refinement and a focus on delivering an improved passenger experience. At its core lies a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine delivering 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, balanced by an 8-speed automatic transmission promoting seamless power delivery.
