2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee

This year, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is largely a carryover from last year's model. The biggest change is that the optional diesel engine from 2019 is no longer available. It still features plenty of power with its lineup of V8 engines, superb off-road performance, great towing capacity, and all the comfort, luxury, and technology features you could want.

It comes in seven different trim levels for plenty of customization. These include the Laredo, the Limited, the Trailhawk, the Overland, the Summit, the SRT, and the Trackhawk. Most are rear-wheel drive by default with 4-wheel drive available. However, the Trailhawk is only available with 4-wheel drive, and the SRT and Trackhawk come standard with specialized all-wheel drive.

Grand Cherokee Performance Specs

The base-level engine on the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 that generates 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Other available engines include a 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine that puts out 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.

At the SRT level, you’ll get a 6.4-liter SRT® V8 engine that produces 475 horsepower with 470 lb-ft of torque. Finally, the Trackhawk offers a Supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers a whopping 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque—the best in class for power and performance.

Towing specs are equally impressive. Even at the base level, the Grand Cherokee is rated to tow up to 6,200 pounds. Opt for any of the V8 engines, and you'll increase your towing capacity to up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped.

Off-Roading

If there's one thing Jeep is associated with, it's the ability to blaze trails, and the Grand Cherokee does not disappoint. The Trailhawk trim level is built for going off-road from the ground up, with specialized exterior styling, all-terrain tires, low-range Quadra-Trac® II gearing, and Quadra-Drive® II special traction control systems.

It has a specialized Quadra-Lift® Suspension System for extra ground clearance and skid plates to protect your undercarriage. As a bonus, you’ll get a specialized instrument cluster display to provide all the information about your car's current performance and condition.
