Certified 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee for Sale Nationwide

For the better part of three decades, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV has impressed the world with its alluring mix of luxury, handling, performance, and genuine off-road capability. It competes with the GMC Terrain, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Edge, Nissan Pathfinder, Lexus GX, and Land Rover Discovery. For 2020, it gets light updates.

The Grand Cherokee lineup is about as diverse as they come. Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit models get a 3.6-liter V6 with start-stop that develops 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. A 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with 360 hp, 390 lb-ft, and cylinder deactivation is available. Both engines mate to an 8-speed automatic transmission. While rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, several four-wheel drive (4WD) systems are available, some of which have low-range gearing. Higher trims with 4WD also include a height-adjustable air suspension.

Standard features on the Laredo include a 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a 7-inch instrument cluster LCD, 17-inch wheels, LED taillights, and keyless access and start. Newly standard on Limited and Trailhawk models is a single-pane sunroof, while a dual-panel panoramic sunroof comes with higher models. The available Premium Lighting Group package for Laredo, Limited, and Trailhawk models gets you the bi-xenon HID headlights and LED fog lights that are standard on upper trims.

The SRT gets an aggressive body kit, unique 20-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, and Brembo brakes. It features a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine developing 475 hp and 470 lb-ft and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Performance all-wheel drive (AWD) also comes standard with Auto, Sport, Track, Tow, and Snow modes, and there’s even standard launch control. All in, the SRT reaches 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds, runs the quarter-mile in 12.8 seconds, and hits a top speed of 160 miles per hour.

Finally, there’s the Trackhawk. With a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 rated at 707 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque, it’s the last word in SUV performance. Equipped with the same AWD system and 8-speed transmission as the SRT, it hits 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, runs the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds, and tops out at 180 mph. An available 20-inch titanium wheel design is new for 2020, as is a signature leather-wrapped interior package in Black and Ski Gray.

On the safety front, even the base Laredo comes with a reversing camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic detection, and reversing sensors. Forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, front parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control are extra-cost options. Owing in part to its age, the Grand Cherokee achieved fairly poor overlap crash ratings in its latest round of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tests.
