2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a light-update model led by Trailhawk becoming exclusive to the 4xe plug-in-hybrid powertrain. It is not a redesign.
About the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
5th generation WL. For 2023, this is the second model year for the two-row Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee 4xe, and the third for the three-row Grand Cherokee L.
Jeep positions the Grand Cherokee as the brand’s do-everything midsize SUV: more upscale and quieter than a Wrangler, but still built to handle rough weather, towing, and real trail use. In this generation, its identity is broader than before because the same model family covers a two-row SUV, the longer three-row Grand Cherokee L, and the 4xe plug-in hybrid. What sets it apart from many rivals is that mix of premium cabin feel, everyday family usefulness, and authentic Jeep capability.
The lineup stretches from the straightforward V6-powered Laredo to the trail-focused 375-hp Trailhawk 4xe and richly equipped Summit Reserve. Limited emphasizes everyday comfort with heated leather-trimmed seating and a 10.1-inch navigation touchscreen, while the new 30th Anniversary 4xe adds blacked-out styling, ventilated front seats, and a surround-view camera.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Trailhawk becomes a 4xe-only trim for 2023, pairing its off-road hardware with the 375-hp plug-in-hybrid powertrain.
Styling
Jeep adds the black-accented 30th Anniversary Edition 4xe and Altitude X. The Altitude look expands to the two-row Grand Cherokee, and the base 4xe gains a standard panoramic sunroof. Leather seating changes from standard to optional on Altitude, Limited, and the base 4xe.
Safety
Lane-departure warning changes from optional to standard on Laredo X. The wider safety suite otherwise carries over without a major lineup-wide update.
Tech
Limited and Overland gain a standard 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation. The new 30th Anniversary 4xe also brings a digital rearview mirror, surround-view camera, and wireless phone charging.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The biggest change is that the 2023 Trailhawk is offered only as a 4xe plug-in hybrid. The rest of the Grand Cherokee range receives lighter trim and equipment updates rather than a redesign.
Is the 2023 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk available with a gas-only engine?
No. For 2023, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk is exclusive to the 375-hp 4xe plug-in-hybrid powertrain. It retains trail-focused equipment including adjustable-height air suspension, underbody skid plates, and a disconnecting front stabilizer bar for improved wheel movement over rough ground.
Which trims are new for the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The 30th Anniversary Edition 4xe and Altitude X are new for 2023. The 30th Anniversary model combines the plug-in-hybrid powertrain with blacked-out styling and extra comfort and camera features, while Altitude X adds a sunroof and comfort equipment to the dark-trimmed Altitude theme. Laredo A is a renamed continuation of the prior Laredo E, not an additional trim.
What technology changed on the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Limited and Overland receive a standard 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation for 2023. The new 30th Anniversary 4xe also includes a digital rearview mirror, surround-view camera, and wireless phone charging.
Is the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee significantly different from the 2022 model?
No. The 2023 model is a light update rather than a redesign. Its clearest reasons to favor it over a 2022 are the plug-in-hybrid-only Trailhawk, the new 30th Anniversary and Altitude X trims, and selected equipment changes such as the larger standard navigation screen on Limited and Overland.

“Grand Cherokee Overland is versatile for different driving conditions, it's comfortable, with excellent technology, stylish and seems reliable, we'll see. It is hard on gas.”
“I love my vehicle. It is aesthetically pleasing inside and out, yet practical for weather and getting chores done. It is nice how I only have to fill up my gas tank every 2-3 weeks.”
