The Grand Cherokee is the Jeep you can drive to a client dinner in downtown Naperville on Friday and up a gravel road to a cabin in Wisconsin on Saturday. DuPage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM at 433 East North Avenue in Glendale Heights helps western Chicagoland drivers compare every two-row Grand Cherokee trim, engine and 4×4 system in one place.
Browse the Grand Cherokee inventory above, then use the guides below to match the right trim to your commute, your family and your winter driving.
Jeep’s 2.0L Hurricane4 turbocharged four-cylinder makes 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque on regular fuel, more than the proven 3.6L Pentastar V6. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic.
Available 4×4 systems, including Quadra-Trac II and Selec-Terrain traction management, help on unplowed side streets, icy ramps onto I-88 and slushy parking lots at Woodfield Mall.
Properly equipped, the Grand Cherokee tows up to 6,200 lbs, enough for many small boats, pop-up campers and utility trailers headed to Starved Rock or a Wisconsin lake.
A 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility anchors the dash. Available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist and a hands-free power liftgate make long highway runs and grocery stops easier.
Jeep keeps the V6 on entry Laredo trims and uses the Hurricane4 Turbo from the Laredo Altitude up, with newer Upland, Trailhawk and Overland trims joining the lineup. Trim names and packages differ between model years. Use this table as a starting point, then ask us to show you equipped vehicles side by side.

Choose the engine that fits how you drive and what you tow. Both are available with rear-wheel drive or 4×4, depending on trim.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque (lb-ft) | Max Towing* | Why Choose It |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | 293 | 257 | 6,200 lbs | Familiar, smooth power on Laredo trims |
| 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo I4 | 324 | 332 | 6,200 lbs | Stronger low-end torque on regular fuel |
The Grand Cherokee L adds a longer wheelbase and seating for six or seven, with the same engines and towing rating. It suits carpools to Cantigny Park and bigger families.
The Jeep Cherokee is a smaller hybrid SUV with standard 4×4 and a combined rating Jeep lists at up to 37 mpg. It is a smart fit for long I-290 commutes.
The full-size Grand Wagoneer steps up in size, comfort and towing for families who want a premium three-row SUV.

DuPage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM is at 433 East North Avenue in Glendale Heights, a short drive from Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard and Naperville. Browse our Grand Cherokee inventory online and call sales at 630-547-1001 to confirm availability or set up a test drive.
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is a familiar, smooth engine on Laredo trims. The 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo adds more horsepower and noticeably more torque on regular fuel. Both tow up to 6,200 lbs when properly equipped, so a back-to-back test drive usually settles it.
With an available 4×4 system and a good set of all-season or winter tires, the Grand Cherokee handles snowy suburban roads well. Selec-Terrain lets you pick a snow mode, and heated seats and a heated steering wheel are available on many trims.
Jeep has announced it is phasing out its plug-in hybrids in North America, so the 4xe is no longer part of the current lineup. Ask us about any remaining new inventory or used 4xe models, or consider the gas Grand Cherokee or the hybrid Cherokee.
The Grand Cherokee balances comfort, towing and 4×4 capability. If you need three rows, look at the Grand Cherokee L or Grand Wagoneer; for better fuel economy, the hybrid Cherokee; and for open-air trail driving, the Wrangler. Our team can help you narrow it down.
When properly equipped, both the V6 and the Hurricane4 Turbo are rated to tow up to 6,200 lbs. Ratings depend on trim and equipment, so confirm the figure for the specific vehicle before you hitch up.
Follow the oil change indicator and the schedule in your owner’s manual, since intervals depend on engine and driving conditions. Short winter trips and towing count as severe service for many drivers. Our Mopar Express lane makes routine oil changes quick.
