The 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee is leaving competitors like the Ford Explorer in the dust. Other SUVs just can't hold up when it comes to performance, design, technology, or safety features. Visit Lester Glenn Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM to see for yourself that our model is on a pedestal high above other brands.
Performance Features
You get two engine options in the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Choose between the standard 324-horsepower 2.0-liter Hurricane™ 4 Turbo and the available 293-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6, both of which can tow up to 6,200 pounds. The standard engine in the Ford Explorer comes with a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. Plus, it doesn't include performance-enhancing innovations that only come on new Jeep models, like the Selec-Terrain® traction management system and Quadra-Lift® air suspension system.
Design and Technology
Climb inside the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and you'll see instantly why so many drivers choose our model over the Ford Explorer. Highlights of the five-seat cabin include:
- Uconnect® 5 with 8.4-inch touchscreen
- 25-inch digital cluster display
- Six-speaker sound system
- Up to 70.8 cubic feet of cargo space
- Durable soft cloth seats
Those are just a few of the standard features. You can elevate your interior with the available 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen and Capri leatherette seats. The 2026 Ford Explorer, although a larger three-row model, requires upgrades for a comparable touchscreen and audio system.
Safety Suite
One of the many reasons the team at our Toms River, NJ Jeep dealership loves the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee so much is the unmatched safety suite. Competitors like the Ford Explorer just can't compete with features like intersection collision assist, full-speed forward collision warning, active lane management, and the ParkView® backup camera with ParkSense® park assist…and that's just a small taste of what comes standard. For even more of a confidence boost, opt for a trim level with the available 360° surround view camera, drowsy driver detection, and parallel and perpendicular park assist.
