The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes in five main trims, each with different features and price points
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit trims. Each trim builds on the one below it, adding comfort features, technology, and capability. The Laredo is the base model with standard all-wheel drive and a 3.6-liter V6 engine. Moving up through the trims adds features like leather seats, upgraded infotainment systems, and all-terrain capabilities.
Jeep also offers a plug-in hybrid version called the Grand Cherokee 4xe, which is available across most trim levels. This version pairs a V6 engine with an electric motor and battery, allowing for all-electric driving for shorter trips. The 4xe adds to the price but reduces fuel consumption for drivers who charge regularly.
Key Takeaways
- The Laredo trim is the starting point and includes all-wheel drive, a V6 engine, and an 8-inch touchscreen as standard.
- Higher trims add leather upholstery, panoramic sunroofs, upgraded sound systems, and advanced driver information features.
- The Trailhawk trim focuses on off-road capability with skid plates, all-terrain tires, and a raised suspension.
- The 4xe plug-in hybrid option is available on most trims and allows for electric-only driving on shorter trips.
- Engine and transmission choices vary by trim, with some offering a turbocharged option alongside the standard V6.
Laredo: The base trim with practical features
The Laredo is where the 2025 Grand Cherokee lineup begins. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, a 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 290 horsepower, and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The interior includes cloth seats, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and dual-zone climate control.
Safety features on the Laredo include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. The exterior has 18-inch wheels, roof rails, and LED headlights. This trim works well for buyers who want the Grand Cherokee name and capability without paying for luxury features they may not need.
Limited and Overland: Comfort and convenience upgrades
The Limited trim adds leather-trimmed seats, a power liftgate, and a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen. It includes a power driver's seat with lumbar support, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The audio system upgrades to an 8-speaker setup, and the exterior gets 20-inch wheels.
The Overland sits above the Limited and brings a panoramic sunroof, upgraded leather upholstery, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. It adds a premium sound system with 19 speakers, adaptive headlights, and a power-adjustable suspension. The Overland is aimed at buyers who spend significant time on the road and want a more refined driving experience.
Trailhawk: Built for off-road driving
The Trailhawk trim prioritizes off-road performance over luxury. It features a raised suspension for increased ground clearance, skid plates protecting the undercarriage, and all-terrain tires designed for unpaved surfaces. The transfer case includes a low-range setting for steep descents and climbs, and the electronic locking differentials help maintain traction on uneven terrain.
Inside, the Trailhawk keeps the focus practical with cloth seats and a straightforward interior layout. It still includes the 10.1-inch touchscreen and modern safety features, but skips some of the comfort upgrades found on Limited and Overland models. This trim appeals to buyers who plan to use their Grand Cherokee for camping, trail driving, or other outdoor adventures.
Summit: The luxury and technology flagship
The Summit is the top trim level and includes nearly every available feature. It has premium leather seating surfaces, a panoramic sunroof, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The infotainment system is a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a built-in navigation system.
Technology on the Summit includes a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, and lane-centering information. The audio system is a premium 19-speaker setup tuned for the vehicle's interior. Exterior features include 20-inch wheels, adaptive headlights, and a power-adjustable air suspension. The Summit represents the full range of what Jeep offers in the Grand Cherokee lineup.
Engine and powertrain options across trims
All 2025 Grand Cherokee models come standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces 290 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, with a two-speed transfer case available on Trailhawk models for off-road use.
The 4xe plug-in hybrid is available on Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit trims. It combines the V6 with an electric motor and a 13-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The hybrid system produces 375 horsepower combined and allows for up to 25 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge, depending on driving conditions and battery state. Charging takes about 2.5 hours with a Level 2 home charger.
Interior and technology differences by trim
The Laredo and Limited trims use an 8-inch or 10.1-inch touchscreen, respectively, both with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Overland and Summit upgrade to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless connectivity and built-in navigation. All screens support voice commands and allow you to control climate, audio, and vehicle settings.
Seating materials progress from cloth on the Laredo and Trailhawk to leather-trimmed on the Limited, and full premium leather on the Overland and Summit. Higher trims add power-adjustable seats with lumbar support, heated and cooled front seats, and heated rear seats. Storage features like power liftgates and hands-free trunk opening appear on Limited and above.
