New Jeep Grand Cherokee Arrives in UAE – More Space, More Choices

Abu Dhabi: Jeep has officially launched the 2026 Grand Cherokee across UAE showrooms, and the headline is the price. The two-row model starts under AED 130,000, while the three-row Grand Cherokee L steps up for families who need more seats. Both come with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, available air suspension and a long list of tech. 

Here is what UAE buyers need to know.

How Much Does the 2026 Grand Cherokee Cost in the UAE

Two models are on offer, and the gap between them is AED 50,000. The standard Grand Cherokee is the five-seater, while the Grand Cherokee L adds a third row for seven.

Model	Seating	Starting Price (AED)
Grand Cherokee	5 seats (2 rows)	129,900
Grand Cherokee L Limited Plus	7 seats (3 rows)	179,900

What Powers the New Grand Cherokee

Under the bonnet sits a 2.0L Hurricane turbocharged four-cylinder, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It is a compact engine for a large SUV, but the numbers are healthy.

Spec	Detail
Engine	2.0L Hurricane turbo 4-cylinder
Power	324 hp
Torque	450 Nm
Transmission	8-speed automatic
Drivetrain	Quadra-Trac II / Quadra-Drive II

Is It Still a Proper Off-Roader

Yes. The Grand Cherokee keeps its Jeep credentials with Selec-Terrain drive modes (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow and Mud/Sand), and the available Quadra-Lift air suspension is the real highlight. It raises the SUV for off-road clearance, up to 277 mm, and lowers it again at highway speeds. Handy for weekend off-roading, and just as useful for stable highway driving.

What Has Changed on the Outside

The 2026 model gets a revised front fascia and grille, with LED headlights completing the new face. Summit-trim buyers also get 21-inch wheels.

What Is the Cabin Like

The cabin is built around a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV touchscreen, with an available passenger display so the front seat passenger has screen time of their own. Higher trims move into proper luxury territory.

• Summit trim: Nappa leather upholstery
• Front seats: Massage function available
• Grand Cherokee L: Second-row bucket seats, or an available bench for the seven-seat layout
• Rear comfort: Rear climate-control equipment on the L, depending on configuration

Music lovers have an option too. The available McIntosh audio system runs 19 speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer and an amplifier of up to 950 watts.

Which Safety and Driver-Assist Features Are Available

Features vary by trim, but the list is a long one.

Feature	What It Does
Active Driving Assist	Helps keep distance from the vehicle ahead and stay centred in the lane (the driver remains responsible for control)
360-degree surround-view camera	Gives a full view around the SUV for tight parking
Blind-spot monitoring	Warns of vehicles in your blind spot
Rear cross-path detection	Alerts you to traffic when reversing
Forward-collision warning with active braking	Warns of a possible collision and brakes
Drowsy-driver detection	Flags signs of driver fatigue
Digital rear-view mirror (available)	Shows a camera view when luggage blocks the rear window
Interior FamCAM (Grand Cherokee L)	Shows the rear seating rows on the touchscreen

Parking sensors and surround-view cameras are also available depending on the trim.

Our Take: Who Should Look at the Grand Cherokee

At AED 129,900, the five-seater makes the strongest first impression. A turbocharged engine with 324 hp, air suspension and a 12.3-inch touchscreen is a lot of SUV for the money. If you need a top family seven seat vehicles, the Grand Cherokee L Limited Plus at AED 179,900 is the model to consider, and the FamCAM is a thoughtful touch for parents.

Before booking, ask your dealer about warranty terms, servicing costs, insurance and resale value, as those details were not part of the launch information. Also confirm which features come with each trim.
