Which Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers these trims:

• Laredo X: This version keeps the V6 and 10.2-inch touchscreen while adding the same core setup as the Laredo, making it a straightforward value choice.
• Laredo Altitude: This trim adds the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, the Selec-Terrain system, black 18-inch wheels, and a standard Black Appearance Package, so it’s the best-value pick if you want more style and capability.
• Limited: The Limited adds leatherette upholstery, 18-inch wheels, and access to a dual-pane sunroof, giving you a more upscale cabin feel.
• Limited Altitude: This version builds on the Limited with blacked-out styling and larger wheels, adding a sportier look.

What Jeep Grand Cherokee do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they offer a strong mix of availability, pricing, and newer-model features. When more listings are on the market, you usually get more trim and condition choices, which makes it easier to find the right fit.

What is the Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

Most model years in this lineup are posting clear year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The steepest drops are concentrated in the newer and mid-cycle years, while older examples are falling more slowly. That pattern gives you more room to negotiate on many trims and model years.

The 2014, 2017, and 2018 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:

• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 36.6% good and great deals.

Consider waiting if:

• Tech: A larger 12.3-inch touchscreen is now available on Laredo Altitude and higher trim levels, and all trim levels have a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Safety: Active Drive Assist is available starting on the Laredo Altitude trim, and Jeep says it improved the system’s behavior for 2026.
• Starting price: The Laredo trim starts at $40,410 with the mandatory 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.
