For 2023, the Grand Cherokee 4xe becomes the only version of the model offered with the Trailhawk off-road trim package, which also gains gloss black exterior trim elements.
Available Trims
Jeep offers the Grand Cherokee 4xe in base, Trailhawk, Overland, and Summit trims. All are powered by a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, which put their combined power through an eight-speed transmission and four-wheel drive.

Inside, there’s dual-zone A/C, digital gauges, ambient lighting, leather upholstery, power-adjustable/heated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, a 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation, and nine-speaker audio.
The standard safety package comprises blind spot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert.
