By james art Despite being Jeep’s best-selling model in the US, the Grand Cherokee has seen sales decline recently. From January to September 2024, sales fell 12%, leading to price adjustments for the 2025 model year.
The base Laredo A now starts at $36,495, unchanged from 2024. However, the Laredo 4×2 is $1,000 cheaper, now starting at $37,035. This discount also applies to the Laredo 4×4, Laredo L and Laredo L 4 ×4. Higher-trim models like the Limited, Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve have seen even more significant price cuts, with savings of up to $4,000.
Unfortunately, the Grand Cherokee 4xe remains unchanged at $60,490 for the base model and $79,150 for the Summit Reserve 4xe. Rumors of a new 2.0-liter turbo engine for the 2025 Grand Cherokee have been debunked. The model will continue to use the Pentastar V6 in internal combustion only versions.
However, Stellantis confirmed plans to produce a new 2.0-liter turbo engine in 2025 that could potentially be used in future Jeep models such as the 2026 Compass. The Jeep Grand Cherokee, a popular SUV in the U.S. market, continues to use platform derived from the previous generation.
While its European counterparts have already switched to the STLA Medium platform, the Grand Cherokee for the American market remains on the unibody architecture from Alfa Romeo Giorgio. However, the upcoming next-gen is set to adopt the STLA Large platform, which will also underpin the Daytona and SIXPACK electric charger.
Despite the platform’s current limitations, the Grand Cherokee 4xe offers a respectable electric range of 25 miles and a combined range of 470 miles when fully charged and refueled. The WL-series Grand Cherokee will continue to be produced until 2028, after which the next generation will be introduced with both ICE and BEV options.
