Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.

The fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee marks a significant evolution for the midsize SUV.

Model guide

Jeep Grand Cherokee overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The 2021 Grand Cherokee retains its recognizable upright stance but features cleaner lines, a wider track, and an increased overall length. The front end showcases the signature seven-slot grille flanked by slim LED headlights, which are standard across the range. Depending on the trim, the SUV sits on wheels up to 20 inches in diameter. The structural changes from the new platform not only improve structural rigidity but also enhance the vehicle's proportions, making it look more planted and modern than its predecessor.

Interior

Inside, the cabin is fully redesigned, moving away from the outgoing model's layout. The driver faces a standard 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and the dashboard features physical buttons alongside analog climate controls for user-friendly operation. Higher trims, like the Overland, elevate the interior with Nappa leather upholstery, wood accents, a panoramic roof, and massaging front seats. Tech highlights include an optional passenger-side display, rear-seat entertainment screens, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and an optional premium 19-speaker McIntosh audio system.

Performance

The engine lineup caters to various driving preferences, starting with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. A potent 5.7-liter Hemi V8 with cylinder deactivation is available for those needing maximum towing capacity. The most progressive option is the 2.0-liter PHEV hybrid powertrain, which combines a turbo-four with two electric motors and a 17-kWh battery to generate 380 horsepower and allow up to 40 kilometers of electric-only driving. All engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive and three distinct 4x4 systems, including the Quadra Drive system with an electronic rear differential.

Practicality

With seating for five passengers, the Grand Cherokee is highly suited for family utility and road trips. It offers a spacious cargo area, measuring up to 1070 liters of luggage capacity. The cabin features multiple power options, including 12V and 220V outlets to charge devices on the go. An available hands-free power tailgate on upper trims makes loading cargo easier, while folding rear seats split in a 60/40 configuration to accommodate bulkier items.

Safety and tech

This generation is packed with driver assistance systems. Standard and optional features include active cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors. High-tech options include a night vision camera, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround-view system. A specialized disconnect feature for the front stabilizer bar on advanced setups improves wheel articulation during off-road driving.

Buyer notes

When shopping for the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, buyers should pay close attention to the drivetrain and suspension options. While rear-wheel drive is available for warm climates, the Quadra-Trac and Quadra Drive 4x4 systems are essential for off-roading or winter driving. Trims like the Overland add premium comfort features such as the Quadra-Lift air suspension, which can raise the vehicle for 287 mm of ground clearance. Equipment lists, engine availability, and specific package configurations can vary significantly depending on the local market.
