When it comes to the Jeep family, there’s one that stands about above the rest, and that’s the Jeep Grand Cherokee. With a number of trims to pick from, it may be hard to narrow down which one you should get. That’s where we come in. With the Altitude and the Limited sitting in the middle of the pack, and with similar prices, it is a bit confusing. We’ll make it easier for you. Here are a few Jeep Grand Cherokee trim levels explained.
Key Takeaways
- With the price of both trims being so close to each other, you can get the features you want without needing to break the bank.
- Of the two, if you want the more upscale feel, then you’ll want the Limited as it comes with slightly upgraded interior features.
- Thanks to some standard safety features on both trims, you’ll have one of the safest vehicles on the road, making it the perfect option for parents who want to keep their kids safe.
What features does the Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude have?
Coming in with a starting price of $42,240, the Altitude comes with a sportier look, and to accomplish that, it is equipped with 18-inch glossy black painted wheels. For other exterior features the Altitude comes with unique badging, but overall, this will be harder to spot.
Moving to the interior, this trim comes with a black headline, further pushing the sporty feel. The Altitude does come with a slightly smaller touchscreen, sitting at 8.4-inches. This trim does come with wireless phone connectivity, making it easy to get in and listen to your favorite playlist.
What features does the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited have?
Coming with a starting price of $43,405, it isn’t too far off from the Altitude, and while the Altitude focuses on sporty looks, this trim aims for a more refined feel. To do this, the Altitude comes equipped with 18-inch polished and painted wheels. While they aren’t as sleek as black ones, they are stylish, and sometimes, that’s all you want. Where this trim lacks in black headliners, it makes up for it by coming with An-Teak and chrome satin accents.
The Limited comes with a larger touchscreen, as mentioned earlier. This one comes in at 10.1-inches and it does also come with wireless phone connectivity. This also comes with HD radio, making even standard functions just a bit better.
It’s easy to look at where they differ, but they do share a ton of features, given that their price points are about the same. Both trims come with a power liftgate, making it easy for sports fans, grocery getters and cargo loaders everywhere to access the back with a simple push of a button.
Both trims also come with the same engine, this one being the 3.6L V6. This engine is powerful enough to tow 6,000-pounds, thanks to its 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine also has some zip to it, with 293 horsepower. The Grand Cherokee also comes with admirable fuel economy for the Jeep name. This is thanks to the 22 MPG combined mileage. It really shines on the highway at 26 MPG. Making this a solid family road trip vehicle.
The safety rating for this lineup as a whole is also pretty strong, as it comes with the IIHS’ Top Safety Pick. This carries over from 2024, with some of the features that help achieve this are blind spot detection, lane departure warning & prevention, and rear automatic braking.
