The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee is part of the fifth generation of mid-size SUVs from the American manufacturer, Jeep. Unveiled in 2022, this generation has seen minimal changes since its debut. In this review, we will focus on the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant of the SUV, known as the 4XE. Unlike many SUVs that traditionally featured body-on-frame construction, the Grand Cherokee has consistently utilized a unibody chassis since its inception.
Exterior
The redesigned 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee features a sleek, modern exterior that underscores its status as the most luxurious model to date. The streamlined design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also improves aerodynamic efficiency. Notable changes include a lowered, tapered roof that retains cargo space while optimizing airflow, and a wider, iconic seven-slot grille equipped with advanced technologies like long-range radar. The vehicle also benefits from increased natural light and visibility through a lowered beltline and larger windows.
Performance and efficiency are further enhanced with the addition of new active grille shutters, front wheel spats, air curtains, and hood aero flicks. Adjustments such as a lowered roofline and rear vertical-pillar spoilers contribute to better on-road performance and fuel economy. The Grand Cherokee also introduces a gloss black roof option for Overland models and standard on higher trims, along with a widened track that improves handling. Additionally, the vehicle offers eight wheel designs, including options up to 21 inches in diameter, a first for Jeep.
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Interior
The Jeep Grand Cherokee’s interior has been completely redesigned with luxury and modernity in mind. It features a more accessible dashboard with new slim HVAC vents, two 10.1-inch digital screens, and an innovative 10.25-inch interactive display for the front passenger. The seats are upgraded with adjustable features, including massage functions for driver and passenger, and the option for heated/vented seats in the first two rows. Storage solutions have been improved in the center console, which now includes space for wireless devices and a charger. Enhanced LED lighting with customizable settings and ambient options is standard across all trim levels.
Powertrain
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers two engine choices: the standard 293-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and the more advanced plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain. The latter combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine with an electric motor, producing a total output of 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, powered by a 14.0-kWh battery pack. While the base V-6 model comes with rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive is a standard feature in models equipped with the plug-in hybrid powertrain.
In terms of performance, the 4xe model stands out as the fastest, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds and completing a quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at a speed of 100 mph.
