Cargo and Dimensions
The two-row Grand Cherokee holds 37.7 cubic feet behind the second row and 70.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. It is 193.5 inches long, 84.6 inches wide across the mirrors and 77.5 inches across the body, and turns in a 38.0-foot circle. Here is every dimension, and what each one means in a real garage.
Limestone-country parking structures were laid out before SUVs grew, which is why width across the mirrors and turning circle decide more here than horsepower does. The two-row Grand Cherokee is sized to stay on the friendly side of that line. This page carries the full dimensional set, the cargo figures by configuration, and a translation of both into decisions you actually make.
If you need a third row, the Grand Cherokee L cargo and third row page covers the longer body. For trims and equipment, start with the trims compared guide.
Two figures cover the two-row Grand Cherokee, because it has two seating configurations.
| Configuration | Cargo volume |
|---|---|
| Behind the second row, seats up | 37.7 cubic feet |
| Second row folded | 70.8 cubic feet |
The rear seatback is split-folding as standard, so you can carry long items and two passengers at the same time. For reference, the three-row Grand Cherokee L opens to 84.6 cubic feet with both rear rows down, but gives up cargo behind its third row when the seats are in use.
| Measurement | Front row | Second row |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 39.9 in | 39.4 in |
| Legroom | 41.3 in | 38.2 in |
| Shoulder room | 59.2 in | 58.0 in |
38.2 inches of second-row legroom is the number that matters if you regularly carry adults in back. It is genuinely adult-usable, which is the whole argument for a two-row midsize SUV over a compact crossover.
| Dimension | 2026 Grand Cherokee |
|---|---|
| Overall length | 193.5 in |
| Wheelbase | 116.7 in |
| Width, mirrors extended | 84.6 in |
| Width, body only | 77.5 in |
| Height | 70.8 in |
| Ground clearance, standard suspension | 8.4 in |
| Turning circle | 38.0 ft |
| Fuel tank | 23.0 gal |
| GVWR | 6,050 pounds |
Two width figures exist because two different things get measured. 77.5 inches is the body. 84.6 inches is what your mirrors actually occupy, and it is the figure that decides whether a garage bay or a parking-structure stall on Loop 360 works.
Loading the Grand Cherokee is easier than the raw volume suggests. A hands-free power liftgate is available, and with an armful of groceries or a cooler in both hands it stops being a gadget quickly. The rear seatback is split-folding as standard, so a long item and a rear passenger can share the cabin, and the load floor sits flat once the seat is down. The temporary spare mounts inside the vehicle rather than under it, which keeps it clean and reachable without crawling under a wet bumper after a day at the lake.
If your loads run bigger than the floor, the standard roof side rails take the Mopar crossbar kit covered below, and the three-row Grand Cherokee L adds an available power-folding third-row bench that drops from buttons in the cargo area.
The two-row Grand Cherokee seats 5 passengers across 2 rows, in every trim. There is no third-row option; that is what the Grand Cherokee L exists for.
Roof side rails are standard across the lineup, on all 7 trims. Crossbars are not factory equipment: the Mopar Roof Rack Cross Bars, part 82216036AC, are a dealer-installed accessory that mounts to those production side rails, and the crossbar kit is rated for a maximum payload of 165 pounds. That rating belongs to the crossbar kit itself, so treat it as the ceiling for whatever you put on top of it. A rooftop cargo box for a run out to Krause Springs is exactly what that number is there for.
Volumes are abstract. Here is what those two numbers mean in practice.
| The load | Configuration you need |
|---|---|
| Weekly groceries plus a stroller | 37.7 cu ft behind the second row handles it with the seats up |
| Two adults plus a full set of golf clubs | Seats up; the split-folding seatback takes a long bag through the middle |
| A weekend at Pedernales Falls for four, with gear | Seats up; add the roof box for bulky items up to the 165-pound crossbar limit |
| Flat-pack furniture or a bike with the wheel off | Fold the rear seat for the full 70.8 cu ft |
| Six or seven people | Wrong vehicle; step up to the Grand Cherokee L |
Payload is the other half of the picture and it is easy to miss: a Laredo 4×2 carries 1,280 pounds of people plus cargo, and a Laredo 4×4 carries 1,240. That is the total, passengers included, not cargo alone.
The fastest way to settle a dimension question is to put a tape measure on the real thing, and we keep the lineup on the lot at 16501 Sweetwater Vlg Dr Building 3. We are an easy run from Westlake, Kerrville, Burnet and Lockhart, and a straight shot up RM 2244 from the Barton Creek Greenbelt side of town. Call (512) 900-6192 or schedule a test drive online, and bring the cargo box or the stroller with you.
37.7 cubic feet behind the second row with the seats up, and 70.8 cubic feet with the second row folded.
It is 193.5 inches long and 70.8 inches tall, so length and height are rarely the problem. Width is: the body is 77.5 inches, but the mirrors take it to 84.6 inches. Measure your opening against 84.6, not 77.5.
38.2 inches in the second row, with 39.4 inches of headroom and 58.0 inches of shoulder room. That is adult-usable for a long drive, not just a short hop.
Yes, side rails are standard on all 7 trims. Crossbars are a separate Mopar accessory, part 82216036AC, that mounts to those rails, and the kit is rated to a maximum payload of 165 pounds.
Payload is 1,280 pounds on a Laredo 4×2 and 1,240 pounds on a Laredo 4×4, against a GVWR of 6,050 pounds. Payload counts passengers and cargo together.
No. It seats 5 across 2 rows in every trim. The Grand Cherokee L is the three-row version, seating up to 7 on a body 11 inches longer.
