The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of America’s favorite midsize SUVs, and it’s getting a refresh for 2026. We expect pricing to start at about $39,000.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most trusted names in midsize SUVs. This midsize SUV is available in three variants: the standard 2-row model with a regular gas engine, the longer 3-row Grand Cherokee L, and the plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokee 4xe. This menu of options will continue into the 2026 model year as the Grand Cherokee gets an aesthetic refresh and likely some new technology. Details of the 2026 updates are limited to two teaser images; here’s what we know so far.
The 3-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L came out in 2021, and the two-row Grand Cherokee got a similar redesign for 2022. Now, Jeep is teasing a mid-cycle refresh for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, giving glimpses of what the updated exterior and interior will look like.
The front end gets a pretty significant redesign to the lower front fascia, with a painted section splitting the lower grille in two. The upper grille will continue Jeep’s iconic seven-slat motif, but with new chrome inserts and sharper angles. Also, the light signature now has a more dramatic curve to its LED signature lighting.
On the inside, the center console is reworked with a new bank of HVAC control buttons below the central infotainment screen. It also has smaller audio control knobs mounted higher up on either side of the screen. The available front passenger screen appears to have gotten a bit bigger, as well.
That’s about all we can glean from the two images shared by Jeep so far – we’ll update this preview as more information becomes available.
We expect the pricing of the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee to start at around $39,000. A loaded Summit Reserve model will likely begin at about $65,000.

Before buying a Grand Cherokee, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Jeep Grand Cherokee resale value is historically about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee will go on sale in late 2025.
