For Jeep enthusiasts, there are plenty of models to choose from to suit individual needs. For 2020, the Grand Cherokee has the features and amenities that might be just what you’re looking for in a well-defined ride.
- Exterior
When making a visually lasting impression based on creative styling is one of your requirements, the 2020 Grand Cherokee has all that and more. Each of the Jeep’s trims; Laredo, Laredo E, Trailhawk, Upland, Altitude, High Altitude, Summit, Limited, Limited X, Overland, Trackhawk, and SRT, stand out from the crowd with impressive detailing and functional design.
Dramatic lines and aerodynamic curves and contours, distinctive grille, no-nonsense Bi-Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps (HID), and LED fog lamps and daytime running lights enhance the design. A palette of colors and multiple choices in 18- or 20-inch wheels add the finishing touches.
- Power and Performance
Four powerful engines keep the four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive Grand Cherokee primed and ready to go whenever you’re navigating around town or maneuvering the highways and byways on an extended road trip.
Depending on the trim, engines include the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 24-valve variable valve timing (VVT) with an 8-speed automatic 85ORE transmission. There’s also a 5.7-liter V-8 with 360 horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 equipped with a Launch Control and Torque Reserve System, and the 6.4-liter V-8 producing 707 horsepower at 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm).
- Fuel Economy
Fuel economy varies among the trims with estimates such as 19 mpg/city and 26 mpg/highway for a combined estimated of 21 mpg for the 3.6-liter with two-wheel drive. The 5.7-liter V-8 four-wheel drive has an estimated fuel economy of 14 mpg/city and 22 mpg/highway with a combined of 17 mpg. At the high end, the 6.4-liter V-8 four-wheel drive gets 13 mpg/city and 19 mpg/highway for a combined fuel economy of 15 mpg.

Everyone stays in communication and entertained in a Grand Cherokee with the Uconnect system that is easy to use and fast to respond. A 5.0-inch screen is standard, or you can opt for the 8.4-inch touch screen. Rear seat passengers have access to entertainment, which includes Wi-Fi, and everyone can listen to their favorite tunes via the standard six-speaker audio system or enjoy a mini-concert with the optional 19-speaker Harman/Karman audio setup.
- Interior
Depending on the trim, the interior creates an attitude that is either rugged and ready for on- and off-road action or you’ll feel like you’re riding in the lap of luxury. Whichever way you ride, the Grand Cherokee’s interior features a contoured dashboard with easy access to the infotainment system. Leather and soft materials provide an eye-appealing design, and the 60/40 split rear seat provides ample cargo space when folded down.
