Which Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

• Laredo X: This version keeps the V6 and 10.2-inch touchscreen while adding the same core setup as Laredo, making it a straightforward value choice.
• Laredo Altitude: This trim adds the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, black 18-inch wheels, a standard Black Appearance Package, leatherette upholstery, and the Selec-Terrain system; it’s the best-value pick if you want a more upscale look and more capability features.
• Limited: This trim adds 18-inch wheels, leatherette upholstery, and access to available 20-inch wheels, plus it can be equipped with the surround-view camera system.
• Limited Altitude: This version adds bigger wheels and a blackout treatment similar to the Laredo Altitude, giving you a more distinctive appearance.

What Jeep Grand Cherokee do most buyers choose?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee years with the most listings are 2024, 2022, and 2023.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they usually offer a strong mix of availability, newer features, and a wider spread of prices. That gives you more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and condition for your budget.

What is the Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

Most model years in this lineup are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want more value for your money. The declines are especially pronounced on several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older years are falling at a somewhat smaller pace. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful savings across much of the range.

The 2023, 2014, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Jeep Grand Cherokee now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $32,329. The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a roomy, upscale cabin with a strong blend of comfort and capability.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Hurricane 4 Turbo engine delivers 324 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, while the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 produces 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.
• Tech: A larger 12.3-inch touchscreen is now available on Laredo Altitude and higher trim levels, and Jeep continues to rely on Uconnect 5 infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
• Safety: Active Drive Assist is available starting on the Laredo Altitude trim, and Jeep says it improved the behavior of this system for 2026.
• Starting price: The Laredo trim starts at $40,410 with the mandatory $1,995 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
