2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

In yet another leap forward, the newest Grand Cherokee has more technology than ever before. When first introduced, the 8.4-inch was the largest screen on the market. Today, Grand Cherokee drivers can utilize two 10.1-inch digital screens.  The touchscreen works with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to use your smartphone for maximum functionality.

With TomTom navigation, the system adds predictive search and live traffic updates. This advanced system allows for more natural speech recognition and maps over-the-air updates. Jeep also offers Amazon Alexa connectivity with enhanced virtual assistance.With the available SiriusXM 360L platform, drivers can enjoy personalized Pandora stations.

Front seat passengers don’t have to be left out of the dash tech revolution. They can have their own 10.25-inch interactive display. This advanced feature can be used with the UConnect5 system, wireless devices, and available Amazon TV shows. 

The system has more connectivity to allow two phones to pair simultaneously without interfering with each other. Front seat passengers can use their screen to assist the driver with navigation, camera systems, and more.

Jeeps are the only brand SUVs to offer a genuine McIntosh sound system. This remarkable 950-watt set-up includes 19 custom speakers and a 17-channel amplifier. Find out about Jeep financing offers.

The 2025 Grand Cherokee is a natural for families with its spacious two-row size. Even more welcoming, the Cherokee L offers a third row for big families or carpools. The fuel efficiency of the Grand Cherokee 4xe makes it a good family SUV for those who want to watch their carbon footprint.

Jeep’s available Wi-Fi hotspot lets the whole family connect on their smartphones. It can handle up to  eight devices. USB ports and a wireless charger help you keep your devices charged.

An available rear-seat camera system can show parents what’s happening behind them. It’s a great way to monitor the kids without turning around.

Kids will be most interested in the UConnect Theater, a rear-seat entertainment system. With the HDMI plug, passengers can project wireless device content onto the dual 10.1-inch rear screens. The kids can choose from thousands of shows, movies and apps.  This system is also available for the front passenger screen, and parents can use that screen to make decisions for the rear theater. 

It’s easy to keep your family organized. The Grand Cherokee L has 145 cubic feet of passenger volume. Cargo volume is 37.7 cu ft and grows to 70.8 cu ft.  Jeep provides extra space with a fold-flat front passenger seat as well as the usual folding rear seats. 

Inside the 2025 Grand Cherokee, you'll find an interior that's as luxurious as it is functional. Designed with passenger comfort in mind, the Jeep midsize SUV offers available 16-way adjustable front seats with power lumbar and memory settings. Length-adjustable cushions are standard for the front row. Higher trim levels even boast a massage feature for both the driver and front passenger. And for those hot Phoenix days, the available ventilated front-row seats will keep you cool and comfortable with their three-level adjustable settings.

The attention to detail is evident throughout the cabin. Slim HVAC vents and soft-touch panels create a refined atmosphere, while illuminated cupholders add a touch of elegance. 

LED lighting comes standard, allowing you to set the mood with daytime/nighttime settings. For an even more immersive experience, the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve models offer a choice of five colors.

The Grand Cherokee's interior can be tailored to your personal style with a variety of available colors and materials. While Global Black is the standard, you can also opt for a combination of Global Black with Wicker Beige or the exclusive Tupelo color. The Trailhawk model features distinctive blue stitching on the seats, doors, dash, and center console, reflecting its adventurous spirit.

For those seeking premium luxury, the Summit Reserve Package elevates the interior with hand-wrapped, quilted Palermo leather and open-pore Waxed Walnut wood trim. At the other end of the spectrum, the Laredo X offers a stylish combination of Carpi leatherette and suede.

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee exterior is a masterful blend of iconic Jeep design and modern aerodynamic efficiency. A flexible architecture accommodates the two-row standard or three-row long models.

Sculpted lines speak to capability and refinement. A low, tapered roofline enhances aerodynamic performance without compromising on cargo space or passenger visibility. The lowered beltline and expansive windows create a sense of openness, flooding the Grand Cherokee interior with natural light and providing excellent outward visibility.

Jeep's commitment to authentic design shines through in every detail, from the signature seven-slot grille to the classic trapezoidal wheel arches. At the front, the bold fascia cleverly conceal advanced technology like long-range radar. The elongated hood and confident stance further emphasize the Grand Cherokee's powerful presence. Underneath the stylish exterior, features like active grille shutters, air curtains, and a rear spoiler work together to improve on-road performance and fuel efficiency.

A Gloss Black roof comes standard on Trailhawk (4xe), Summit, and Summit Reserve models, while the Limited Black and Summit High Altitude packages offer blacked-out accents and larger wheels for an even more striking appearance. 

For those seeking the ultimate in refinement, the High Altitude Package adds premium 21-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, Gloss Black accents, roof rails, and a unique seven-slot grille design to the Summit and Summit Reserve 4xe models.

Jeep 4xe models have blue tow hooks while 4xe Trailhawk trims add blue accents to the wheels. A black-blue matte hood decal proclaims this a Trailhawk.

The engine is Jeep’s intelligent Pentastar V-6 engine. This compact, lightweight unit delivers 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. V6 tow ratings are best in class. With 6,200 pounds of capability, the Grand Cherokee can pull your favorite toys, whether it’s a camper, a boat trailer or something else. A TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission has on-the-fly shift-map changing to adjust to numerous inputs.

For even more speed, shoppers should check out the Grand Cherokee 4xe. Output is 375 horsepower and 409 lb-ft of torque. If you like to compare, you’ll see that this is better than the 323-horsepower Mazda CX-90 PHEV and the 243-horsepower Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

This plug-in hybrid electric vehicle can go 25 miles on a single charge. It promises a remarkable 56 miles per gallon-equivalent for the daily driver. 

Drivers can customize their drive by choosing hybrid, electric or eSave modes. The hybrid mode uses both the engine and the electric motor for faster travel and towing. However, if you need to conserve the battery, you can use the ESave mode. The electric mode uses zero gasoline until needed or when the battery reaches minimum charge. The 4xe tow rating is 6,000 pounds.

Jeep starts shoppers off with rear-wheel drive or Quadra-Trac I. However, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is paired with Quadra-Trac II, available on gas-powered models. Then either type of powertrain can be paired with Quadra-Drive II with rear electronic limited slip differential (ELSD).  

True to their Jeep heritage, all three four-wheel drive systems have an active transfer case. This automatically moves torque to assist the wheels with grip. Front-axle disconnect favors two-wheel drive for the best fuel efficiency. Available Selec-Terrain modes recalibrate to assist with difficult terrain such as Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand. 

With Quadra-Lift, an air suspension takes the jolt out of off-roading and smooths the way for the most pleasant on-road travel. The system has five height settings as well as automatic tuning.

Overland and Summit trim levels have Hill Descent Control. In typical Jeep fashion, this feature goes further by working in both forward and reverse.

All 4xe Jeep Grand Cherokees have a special water seal to ensure that the driver can ford through water up to 24 inches. Steel shields and skid plates protect all major components on this electric-hybrid vehicle.

The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk takes that capability and adds so much more that it is the top Trail-Rated in the lineup. This 4xe Jeep can use its electric power to silently travel trails, perhaps never using the gas motor while off the road.

Quadra Trac II can move torque to a single wheel. This 4x4 SUV has a remarkable 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio and 47.4:1 crawl ratio. Standard on the Trailhawk, Selec-Speed Control is slow-speed driving cruise control that’s perfect for trail excursions.

Engineered to provide comprehensive protection on the road, the 2025 Grand Cherokee goes beyond the basics to offer an array of advanced safety and security features. It's not just about reacting to danger; the Jeep is designed to help you prevent it in the first place.

One of the standout features is the available Night Vision system. This technology uses infrared sensors to detect pedestrians and animals in low-light conditions, displaying them on the digital instrument cluster to give you extra time to react. This is particularly valuable for those early morning or late-night drives when visibility is limited.

Another innovative safety technology is Intersection Collision Assist. This system monitors cross-traffic when you're approaching an intersection and can warn you of potential collisions, even applying the brakes if necessary to help avoid an accident. This added layer of protection is especially helpful in busy urban environments.

The Grand Cherokee also excels in providing all-around awareness. Blind-spot Monitoring helps you change lanes with confidence, while LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist gently guides you back on track if you start to drift. Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Pedestrian Detection can help prevent or mitigate frontal collisions.

For added peace of mind, the 2025 Grand Cherokee offers available Traffic Sign Recognition, which can identify and display speed limits and other important road signs on the instrument cluster. And to help combat driver fatigue, the Drowsy Driver Detection system monitors your driving patterns and alerts you if it detects signs of drowsiness.

The 2025 Grand Cherokee isn't just about getting you from point A to point B; it's about making the journey as effortless and enjoyable as possible. With advanced driver-assistance technologies, it redefines the driving experience, offering a level of convenience that was once the stuff of science fiction.

Imagine cruising down the highway, your hands relaxed at your sides, while the Grand Cherokee takes care of the driving. The available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist (L2+) allows for hands-free and eyes-on-road automated driving on approved highways. You can let the vehicle handle the steering, acceleration, and braking while remaining attentive to the road.

Hands-Free Active Driving Assist combines the capabilities of Active Lane Management and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. When approaching curves, the system automatically adjusts your speed.  It can even change lanes for you with a simple tap of the turn signal. 

But the Grand Cherokee's technological prowess doesn't stop on the highway. With the available ParkSense system, this big SUV doesn’t seem so big. Fully capable, the Park Assist system can steer the vehicle into both parallel and perpendicular parking spaces, taking the stress out of tight maneuvers.  

Standard features include Rear Cross Path Detection and Rear Assist with Reverse Stop. And for the ultimate in parking confidence, the available Surround 360-degree camera system provides a bird's-eye view of your surroundings, complete with front and rear washers to keep your view clear in any condition.  

Every 2025 Grand Cherokee comes standard with the Jeep Wave customer care program. This valuable program provides a range of premium benefits designed to enhance your ownership experience, including:

• Worry-free maintenance: Keep your Grand Cherokee running smoothly with included maintenance.

• Loaner vehicles: Get a comparable vehicle to drive while yours is being serviced.

• 24/7 Roadside Assistance: Count on help when you need it, day or night.

• Dedicated Owner Support: Access a team of experts ready to assist with any questions.

For 2025, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe lineup consists of four models: 4xe, 4xe Trailhawk, 4xe Overland, and 4xe Summit. Meanwhile, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L lineup consists of four models: Laredo, Limited, Overland, and Summit. You can also get Laredo X, Summit Reserve, and High Altitude models.
