When we get a chance to test the new Grand Cherokee at our test track, we'll update this story with results. On the performance end of the spectrum, we expect Jeep to continue to offer high-performance SRT and Trackhawk models, but we review those separately. Fuel economy estimates for the V-6—powered Grand Cherokee are typical of the mid-size SUV segment at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway when paired with rear-wheel drive.
Adding all-wheel drive drops each of those estimates by 1 mpg; the V-8 model is rated for 14 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. The plug-in hybrid 4xe should deliver better fuel economy but the EPA has not released estimates for that model yet. Models with the 4xe plug-in-hybrid powertrain come with a Jeep boasts that the Grand Cherokee with the 4xe powertrain completed the famed Rubicon Trail entirely in its EV driving mode.
A thoroughly modernized cabin replaces the outgoing Grand Cherokee's somewhat dated interior. While base Laredo models offer the essentials, upscale Summit and Overland trims will add luxuries like quilted leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, and high-tech digital displays. We haven't had a chance to test the new Grand Cherokee yet, but we expect it to accommodate more of our carry-on suitcases than the previous generation model.
Floating just above the surface of the Grand Cherokee's dashboard is either an 8. In-dash navigation with real-time traffic and weather updates is optional, and higher-end models can be had with a digital gauge cluster, a While the Laredo and Limited models ship with a standard six-speaker stereo, buyers will be able to upgrade to either a nine-speaker Alpine audio setup or a high-end speaker McIntosh arrangement.
Impacts are absorbed without much excess reverberation, and the Jeep never feels floaty on the highway. We wish the steering provided more feedback from the road, but it's nicely weighted and accurate.
A firm-feeling brake pedal engenders calm in panic-braking scenarios, and the Cherokee's mph-to-zero emergency-braking performance is average for its class. The Cherokee has among the worst fuel economy in its compact-crossover and SUV segment, according to both the EPA and our real-world testing. The most fuel efficient version features the turbocharged four-cylinder that tops out at 23 mpg city and 31 highway.
While we've yet to subject either four-cylinder version to our mph highway fuel-economy route , their EPA estimates aren't much higher than those for the V Compared with the last Overland we put through our testing regimen , the latest version earned 25 mpg highway—or 1 mpg more than before. With supportive seats and easy-to-use controls, the Cherokee's cabin is comfortable. An attractive dashboard that mimics the larger and more expensive Grand Cherokee 's layout helps cultivate an upscale feel.
However, given that the Cherokee is larger on the outside than many of its competitors, we'd expect it to feel more spacious on the inside. Small windows and high windowsills contribute to the feeling of confinement.
The Cherokee's cargo area is smaller than most vehicles this size, and interior cubby storage is average at best. It's more difficult to load items into the rear than into some of its rivals due to the Jeep's high lift-over height.
In addition, its cargo area is significantly smaller than top rivals such as the Ford Escape 34 cubes and the Honda CR-V The Jeep's available Uconnect infotainment system is among the best in the business, with well-organized menus and ample features.
The standard touchscreen measures 7. Starting on the Latitude Plus trim, every model adds two USB ports on the back of the center console for use by rear-seat passengers.
