Used 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The five-passenger 2021 Grand Cherokee is available in seven trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, SRT and Trackhawk. Most Grand Cherokees are available with either rear- or four-wheel drive, with the exception of the SRT and the Trailhawk. Those trims come standard with performance-oriented all-wheel-drive systems. All Grand Cherokees have an eight-speed automatic transmission. The engine lineup includes:

  • A standard 3.6-liter V6 (295 horsepower, 260 lb-ft)
  • An optional 5.7-liter V8 (360 hp, 390 lb-ft) for Trailhawk, Overland and Summit
  • A 6.4-liter V8 (470 hp, 475 lb-ft) standard on the SRT
  • A supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (707 hp, 645 lb-ft) standard on the Trackhawk

  • Auto-dimming mirrors

  • Unique 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Electronically controlled limited-slip differential
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Heavy-duty engine cooling
  • Off-road-tuned air suspension
  • Enhanced 4WD system

Overland
Adds luxury touches with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Upgraded leather seating surfaces
  • Parallel parking assist (aids the driver in parallel parking situations)

SRT
Has the 470-hp V8 plus enhancements for on-road performance such as:

  • Special 20-inch aluminum wheels with performance tires
  • High-performance braking system
  • Sport-tuned adaptive suspension
  • Sport front seats

Trackhawk
One-ups the SRT with the 707-hp V8 plus:

  • 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels
  • Black exterior trim
  • Ultra high-performance braking system
  • Sport exhaust with quad exhaust tips
  • Ultra high-performance suspension
  • Heavy-duty eight-speed transmission

Note that many of the features found on the upper trim levels can be added to other trims through option packages.

Which Grand Cherokee trim does Edmunds recommend?

With seven available trim levels to choose from, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is easy to tailor to your preferences. We think the midlevel Trailhawk offers the best mix of maximum off-road capability and sufficient creature comforts. As a bonus, the beefy 5.7-liter V8 engine is available should you also want to tow the occasional trailer.
