Every Trim, Compared
Seven trims, from the $38,920 Laredo to the $60,600 Summit, and the same seven on the Grand Cherokee L for $2,000 more each. The trim you pick decides your engine, so this is the one decision worth getting right. Covert CDJR Bee Cave stocks the range.
The 2026 Grand Cherokee runs seven trims across a $21,680 spread, and the ladder has one quirk that catches people out: the trim you choose determines the engine you get. There is no ordering the turbo on a Laredo. Ventilated seats stop being a luxury line item somewhere around the third consecutive week above one hundred degrees, and that is roughly where the upper half of this ladder starts making its case.
Every trim below is offered on both the two-row Grand Cherokee and the three-row Grand Cherokee L, with the L costing exactly $2,000 more on each. This page covers each trim, the full matrix, the step-up economics, and who each one is for. Engine detail lives on the engines and performance page.
| Trim | Base Price (excl. destination) | In one line |
|---|---|---|
| Laredo 4×2 | $38,920 | The most accessible way into the lineup, V6 power |
| Laredo X 4×2 | $41,415 | Laredo with more content, still the V6 |
| Limited 4×2 | $44,320 | The volume trim; turbo, big screen, heated everything |
| Laredo Altitude 4×2 | $44,360 | Blacked-out styling, turbo, priced beside the Limited |
| 85th Anniversary Edition | Ask us | New special edition marking 85 years of Jeep |
| Limited Reserve 4×4 | $51,915 | Premium content over Limited, 4×4 standard |
| Summit 4×4 | $60,600 | The flagship: air suspension, McIntosh audio, 21-inch wheels |
MSRP excludes destination, taxes, title and registration fees; see our live inventory for current pricing. The 85th Anniversary Edition is confirmed in the 2026 lineup, but Jeep has not published a standalone price for it, so we would rather you call than quote you a number we cannot stand behind. Add $2,000 to any figure above for the Grand Cherokee L.
The Laredo is the entry point and it is a genuinely well-equipped vehicle, not a stripped-out loss leader. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 gives 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft on regular 87 octane. An 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, along with a six-speaker audio system and roof side rails. Rear-wheel drive is standard and four-wheel drive is a $2,000 option. Properly equipped with a conventional hitch, it tows the full 6,200 lbs, same as the Summit. Who it is for: the buyer who wants the Jeep, the capability and the V6, and would rather put the difference elsewhere.
The Laredo X is the value play in the lower half of the ladder, and for 2026 its contents are specific: over the Laredo it adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power sunroof, a power liftgate and a wireless charging pad, while keeping the 3.6L V6 and the standard 18-inch wheels. That is most of the comfort equipment people actually touch every day, bundled for $2,495. Rear-wheel drive is standard with four-wheel drive a $2,000 option. Who it is for: the buyer who wants the daily comfort features without paying for the turbo to get them.
The Altitude is where the ladder changes character. The 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo becomes standard, at 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft, and the 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen with navigation arrives. Standard content includes synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a wireless device charger. Its blacked-out exterior styling is the point. Rear-wheel drive is standard with four-wheel drive a $2,000 option. Who it is for: the buyer who wants the turbo and the dark look without the Limited’s chrome.
The Limited is the volume trim and, for most buyers, the sweet spot. Standard: the 2.0L Hurricane turbo, the 12.3-inch touchscreen, a nine-speaker 506-watt Alpine audio system, eight-way power front seats with driver power lumbar, two memorized driver settings, multi-level heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless ignition with hands-free entry, heated mirrors and leatherette upholstery. Standard wheels are 18-inch, with 20-inch machined aluminum a no-cost option. Rear-wheel drive standard, four-wheel drive a $2,000 option. Who it is for: almost everyone. This is the trim we sell most of, and it is the one that makes the fewest compromises for the money.
New for 2026, marking 85 years of the Jeep brand, and offered on both the two-row and the L, the 85th Anniversary Edition is built on the Limited: leatherette seating, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, navigation and a surround-view camera, with the Hurricane turbo and four-wheel drive only. What makes it the anniversary car is the detail work — a Steel Oxide wheel design, badging graphics finished in Agave Blue, Mayan Gold thread accents and matching seat tags, commemorative badges, and Berber floor mats with the Jeep logo. Jeep orders it as the Quick Order Package 2CZ; for pricing, the window sticker on the vehicle is the number that counts, so call us for what is on the ground. Who it is for: the buyer who wants something the neighbours do not have.
Limited Reserve is the Limited dressed for the money, and the additions are concrete: Nappa leather seats with Nappa leather door trim, ventilated front seats, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, 20-inch black wheels, body-color lower fascias and darkened exterior accents, plus an integrated off-road camera and a digital rearview mirror. Four-wheel drive is standard here, not optional, so compare its $51,915 to a 4×4 Limited at $46,320 rather than the 4×2 figure; the $5,595 between them is buying that equipment list. Who it is for: the buyer who wants most of the Summit’s cabin without the Summit’s ceiling.
The Summit is the flagship, and it is where Jeep puts the hardware you cannot option onto anything below it: Quadra-Lift air suspension, a McIntosh audio system with a 17-channel amplifier, up to 950 watts, 19 custom-designed speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer, 21-inch wheels, a two-speed transfer case with low range, an electronic limited-slip differential, hill descent control, four-zone climate, Palermo leather and the available front passenger interactive display. Four-wheel drive is standard. Who it is for: the buyer who wants the whole thing, and who will actually use the air suspension.
| Trim | Engine | Drivetrain | Touchscreen | Max tow |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laredo | 3.6L V6, 293 hp | RWD std, 4WD +$2,000 | 8.4-inch | 6,200 lbs |
| Laredo X | 3.6L V6, 293 hp | RWD std, 4WD +$2,000 | 8.4-inch | 6,200 lbs |
| Laredo Altitude | 2.0L Turbo, 324 hp | RWD std, 4WD +$2,000 | 12.3-inch | 6,200 lbs |
| Limited | 2.0L Turbo, 324 hp | RWD std, 4WD +$2,000 | 12.3-inch | 6,200 lbs |
| 85th Anniversary Edition | 2.0L Turbo, 324 hp | 4WD only | 12.3-inch | 6,200 lbs |
| Limited Reserve | 2.0L Turbo, 324 hp | 4WD standard | 12.3-inch | 6,200 lbs |
| Summit | 2.0L Turbo, 324 hp | 4WD standard | 12.3-inch | 6,200 lbs |
Every tow figure is with a conventional hitch, properly equipped. Notice the last column: towing does not climb with the ladder. A Laredo pulls what a Summit pulls.
This is the comparison most shoppers are actually running, and the $5,400 between them buys three real things: the turbo engine in place of the V6, the 12.3-inch touchscreen in place of the 8.4-inch, and the comfort content — Alpine audio, power seats with memory, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel. If the touchscreen and the heated seats matter to you, the Limited is not a hard call. If you want the V6 and the lowest entry price, the Laredo tows the same and goes the same places.
These two sit $40 apart, which makes this a pure preference decision rather than a money one. Both run the turbo and the 12.3-inch screen. The Altitude brings blacked-out styling and synthetic leather; the Limited brings leatherette, the Alpine nine-speaker system, heated rear seats and the power memory seats. Pick the Altitude if you want the look. Pick the Limited if you want the content.
The gap is $16,280 from a 4×2 Limited, or $14,280 against a 4×4 Limited, which is the fairer comparison since the Summit includes four-wheel drive. What that buys is hardware you cannot add to a Limited at any price: Quadra-Lift air suspension, the McIntosh 19-speaker system, the two-speed transfer case with low range, the limited-slip differential, 21-inch wheels and four-zone climate. If you want the air suspension, the Summit is the only door. If you do not, the Limited does the same job on the same roads.
The sweet spot: Limited. It is the first trim with the turbo, the big screen and the full comfort set, and at $44,320 it sits $40 below the Altitude while carrying more equipment. Add four-wheel drive for $2,000 if you cross low-water crossings, and you have a vehicle that does everything the Summit does on ninety-five percent of drives.
| Step up | Price delta | What you gain |
|---|---|---|
| Laredo → Laredo X | $2,495 | Heated seats and steering wheel, power sunroof, power liftgate, wireless charging |
| Laredo X → Limited | $2,905 | The turbo, the 12.3-inch screen, Alpine audio, heated front and rear seats |
| Limited → Laredo Altitude | $40 | A lateral move, not a step up: dark styling instead of comfort content |
| Limited → Limited Reserve | $7,595 | Premium content plus four-wheel drive standard (so $5,595 against a 4×4 Limited) |
| Limited Reserve → Summit | $8,685 | Air suspension, McIntosh 19-speaker, low range, limited-slip diff, 21-inch wheels |
| Any trim → the L | $2,000 | A third row and 11.4 inches of length; see GC vs GC L |
All deltas are derived from the Base Prices in the table above, excluding destination on both sides. The Limited-to-Altitude row is the one worth pausing on: it is a lateral move between two differently-equipped trims at the same money, not a rung on the ladder.

| Want in at the best price, and tow occasionally | Laredo, shop Grand Cherokee inventory |
| Commute daily and want the turbo and the big screen | Limited, browse Limited stock |
| Want the murdered-out look above all | Laredo Altitude, see Altitude builds |
| Drive unpaved roads and flooded crossings regularly | Any 4×4 build; Summit for the air suspension and low range |

| Need six or seven seats | Same trim on the Grand Cherokee L, +$2,000 |
Trim decisions get made in the seats, not in a table. We keep the range at 16501 Sweetwater Vlg Dr Building 3, and we are a straight run for buyers coming from Marble Falls, Burnet and Lockhart, or west out US-290 from Dripping Springs. Sit in a Limited and a Summit back to back; it usually takes about ten minutes to know. Buyers come to us from Round Rock and Georgetown up the I-35 corridor, and from Kerrville out west, because the whole range is on one lot. Call (512) 900-6192 or schedule a test drive online, and use the payment calculator to see what each rung costs monthly.
Seven: Laredo, Laredo X, Laredo Altitude, Limited, 85th Anniversary Edition, Limited Reserve and Summit. The same seven are offered on the Grand Cherokee L.
The Limited, at $44,320. It is the first trim with the Hurricane turbo, the 12.3-inch touchscreen, Alpine audio and heated front and rear seats, and it lands $40 below the Laredo Altitude while carrying more equipment.
Limited Reserve and Summit have four-wheel drive as standard, and the 85th Anniversary Edition is four-wheel drive only. On the Laredo, Laredo X, Laredo Altitude and Limited, rear-wheel drive is standard and four-wheel drive is a $2,000 option.
No. The trim determines the engine. The Laredo and Laredo X come with the 3.6L V6; the Hurricane turbo starts at the Laredo Altitude and continues up through the Summit. It is not an option you can add.
The 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen with navigation is standard from the Laredo Altitude up. The Laredo and Laredo X use an 8.4-inch Uconnect screen, and every trim has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
No. Every trim tows up to 6,200 lbs properly equipped with a conventional hitch, with either engine. Towing is not a reason to move up the ladder.
Quadra-Lift air suspension, the McIntosh system with a 17-channel amplifier and 19 speakers, a two-speed transfer case with low range, an electronic limited-slip differential, hill descent control, 21-inch wheels and four-zone climate. Those are Summit hardware, not Limited options.
Exactly $2,000 more than the equivalent two-row trim, all the way up the ladder, from the Laredo at $40,920 to the Summit at $62,600.
