2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review: Something for all, from 4xe Trailhawk to three-row L. https://youtu.be/gS0j_B5xJy4
Our pick? The plug-in hybrid 4xe.
Pros: Luxurious interior with great tech; go-anywhere capability; refined to drive on-road; strong towing; 4xe plug-in hybrid.
Cons: Less interior space than many rivals; no eight-passenger version; very heavy; blah V6 and thirsty V8.
No other midsize SUV comes close to offering the same range of versions and capabilities as the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It can be had with two rows, or three thanks to the Grand Cherokee L. It can be a genuine luxury SUV in Overland and Summit trim levels, or a go-anywhere, trail-tackling monster (that’s a plug-in hybrid no less) in Trailhawk guise. The other trim levels basically exist somewhere in the middle, with generally positive effect. Its beautiful interior packed with well-executed tech can be enjoyed regardless of which version you get.
This something-for-everyone appeal sure makes the Grand Cherokee easy to recommend to those looking for any number of different SUV types. A two-row midsize crossover rival for the Chevy Blazer? Check. A three-row family crossover rival for a Kia Telluride? Check. A luxury alternative to a Mercedes GLE or BMW X5? Check. A weekend off-roading rival for a Toyota 4Runner? Yep, and the luxury versions can take it to Land Rovers, too. Importantly, we think the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L makes a compelling case against them all.

What's new for 2023?
The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk will only be available with the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain for 2023. For both the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L, the Limited and Overland now come standard with the 10.1-inch touchscreen, while the Alpine (Limited) and McIntosh (Overland and Summit) sound systems become standalone options on their respective trim levels.
What are the Grand Cherokee interior and in-car technology like?
The standard Grand Cherokee is offered with an attractively styled but low-feature interior heavy on gloss black accents and smooth surfaces. A heated steering wheel and heated seats are available from the base model on up (with a package, of course) and high trim levels slather on enough leather and niceties to make the Grand Cherokee a credible luxury vehicle. The Tupelo interior in the Summit Reserve is borderline decadent.
Depending on how you choose to equip it, the Grand Cherokee ranges from conventionally techy to gadget geek's dream land. The base Grand Cherokee includes the 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay paired to a six-speaker audio system, which can be upgraded to a 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation and either an Alpine or top-flight McIntosh audio system. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB A and USB Type-C and HDMI i
