Russ Darrow Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Madison
The 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee earns its reputation as the Most Awarded SUV Ever by doubling down on what Madison, WI drivers ask for most: confident capability, refined comfort, and intuitive tech that removes friction from every mile. A refreshed exterior with newly designed LED headlamps and a reworked grille signals what’s new, while the real story sits under the skin—a new 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine paired with a next-generation transmission, plus a suite of newly-standard and available technologies that help you navigate daily life around the Beltline, East Towne, and weekend getaways out toward the Driftless Area. Whether you want a versatile two-row with generous cargo space or the Grand Cherokee L three-row with seating for up to seven and Best-in-Class second-row legroom and passenger volume, the lineup gives you the flexibility to choose the right wheelbase, cabin space, and features for your household.
Capability remains the Grand Cherokee’s calling card, but the 2026 model elevates the formula with crisp responses and quiet confidence. The new Gen IV transmission complements the 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine to deliver up to 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, giving you decisive acceleration when merging on US-151 and surefooted control on county backroads. Select from advanced available 4×4 systems—Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II®, and Quadra-Drive® II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential—to tailor traction to your needs. The Selec-Terrain® Management System dials in Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, or Mud/Sand modes at the turn of a knob, while the Class-Exclusive available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension helps optimize ground clearance off the pavement and aerodynamics on the highway. With a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds and a Best-in-Class driving range of up to 529 miles (manufacturer’s estimate), the Grand Cherokee is engineered for real-life versatility—think family trips to Lake Mendota with a boat in tow, or long stretches between fuel stops when the calendar is packed.
Step inside the 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee and you’ll find a cabin designed to reduce the effort of everyday driving. The expansive new 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen acts as your command center for navigation, media, and vehicle settings, while the available Class-Exclusive Front Passenger Interactive Touchscreen Display gives your copilot direct control of maps and entertainment without reaching for the center stack. Available McIntosh® audio sets a high bar for clarity, depth, and volume, and creature comforts like available 16-way power front seats with massage help you arrive refreshed. Smart storage and generous cargo room make quick work of grocery runs and outdoor gear, and the available ambient lighting lets you set the tone for the drive with a tap.
With the most standard and available safety and security features in its class, the 2026 Grand Cherokee brings advanced awareness to your daily drive. From intelligent lane centering and adaptive cruise support to available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist on compatible roads, the technology builds confidence without getting in your way. Available 360º Surround View and Night Vision Camera systems help you see more of what matters, while tried-and-true assists like Blind Spot Monitoring and ParkSense® Park Assist make crowded parking lots and tight garages feel less stressful.
