How Much Is the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Key Points

• Pricing for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee starts at $39,990 (all prices include $1,995 destination fee).
• Face-lifted for the 2026 model year
• New turbocharged four-cylinder engine replaces V-6 in most trim levels

The Wrangler is inarguably Jeep’s most recognizable product and the most central to the brand’s identity, but the Grand Cherokee is a close second, and it is more important to the brand’s bottom line, outselling the Wrangler by some 25%. So the Grand Cherokee getting a light nip and tuck and a new engine for 2026 is a big deal. Despite a significant increase in power and — particularly — torque, Jeep hasn’t raised prices on the SUV much from the 2025 model year.

Powertrain Specs and MPG

The Laredo and Laredo X are the only Grand Cherokees that still get the old V-6 for 2026. Displacing 3.6 liters, it generates 293 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque. Backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission, the V-6 returns 19/26/22 mpg city/highway/combined with either RWD or 4WD, according to Jeep (official EPA fuel economy ratings for 2026 are not yet available). Fuel economy for the three-row Grand Cherokee L is rated at 19/26/21 mpg with RWD and drops to 18/25/21 mpg with 4WD.

Standard in the Laredo Altitude on up, the new engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. With 324 hp and 332 pounds-feet of torque, it betters the V-6 by 31 hp and 72 pounds-feet. It, too, is teamed with an eight-speed automatic. The turbo four’s additional output comes with zero fuel-economy penalty as the engine returns an identical 19/26/22 mpg.
