The Grand Cherokee covers a wide bandwidth, from the attractively lease-priced V6 Laredo, to the off-road-specialist Trailhawk, and from the luxurious Overland and Summit, to the brutally quick Trackhawk. No matter the iteration, the Grand Cherokee is a strictly two-row midsize SUV that comfortably accommodates four (or five) adults and a fair bit of luggage. Interior trim can range from fairly modest to quite luxe, and while the 7-inch touchscreen is less visually impressive than what many rivals offer, the interface is easy to use. The Jeep’s similarly sized crossover competitors generally offer superior on-road ride and handling, but any 4WD Grand Cherokee will be able to travel further off the beaten path. The Jeep also can tow up to 7,200 pounds. There are only minor changes for 2020, this despite the fact that the Grand Cherokee is now in its 10th model year since its last major redesign. The 2020 Grand Cherokee is offered in numerous trim levels. The Laredo, Laredo E, Upland, Limited, and Limited X form the mainstream branch of the family tree, priced from the mid $30,000s to the mid $40,000s, with four-wheel drive optional. The 4WD Trailhawk is the off-road specialist, while the Overland ($46,000) and Summit ($52,000) compete against luxury brands. Still more expensive are the sporty SRT and Trackhawk variants, although compared similarly high-performance competitors they’re something of a bargain -- even the $87,000 Trackhawk. The base 3.6-liter V6 (295 horsepower, 260 pound-feet) pairs with a polished eight-speed automatic and is adequate for most needs. Its EPA estimates of 18/26/21 mpg city/highway/combined (17/25/21 mpg with 4WD) are only okay, and fuel economy drops precipitously from there. The step-up V8, a 5.7-liter Hemi with 360 hp and 390 lb-ft, comes standard with four-wheel drive and is a temptation Jeep’s competitors don’t offer. But don’t expect more than 17 mpg combined. Moving into the performance realm, the SRT has a 6.4-liter Hemi (475 horsepower, 470 lb-ft), while the insane, Hellcat-powered Trackhawk baits SUVs from Mercedes-AMG and BMW M with its 707 horsepower, 3.5-second 0-60 time and 180-mph top speed. The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is beyond versatile. It can be an SUV, a luxury car, an off-road warrior, or a speedy beast on the track. It's been nine years since it was last redesigned, but the styling holds up. The interior hasn't aged as well but comfort is still supreme, with big, cushy seats covered with fine leather in the top trims. The 2020 Grand Cherokee hauls five adults, plenty of stuff, and offers luxury-like features in a comfortable interior. It's the complete package of mid-size SUVs. The Grand Cherokee experience is about performance. Even its base V-6 engine makes 295 horsepower. There are three V-8s to choose from, ranging from workhorse 5.7-liter to an insane supercharged 6.2-liter making 707 horsepower. That engine is taken from the Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat models, and makes life awesome in a 4×4 SUV. With all that power, rear-wheel drive is standard on the V-6, with all-wheel drive available; on the V-8s, all-wheel drive is standard. For 2020 the Grand Cherokee gets a few updates, from the availability of active safety features on the base Laredo, to new options on the supercharged Trackhawk. The V-6 is EPA-rated at 19 mpg city, 26 highway, 21 combined with rear-wheel drive and 18/25/21 mpg with all-wheel drive. To get the same mileage with AWD as 2WD is is almost unheard of. There's also a turbodiesel V-6, which gets the best mileage at 21/28/24 mpg. The 5.7-liter V-8 comes standard with all-wheel drive and manages only 14/22/17 mpg. The 6-4-liter V-8 in the SRT model drops to 13/19/15 mpg, while the supercharged 6.4-liter V-8 in the Trackhawk gets just 11/17/13 mpg. The NHTSA gives the all-wheel-drive models five stars overall for safety, with four stars in frontal crash tests; the rear-wheel-drive models get four stars overall because of their rollover rating of only three stars. For 2020, Jeep has made active safety features like automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and automatic high-beam headlights available on even the base Laredo model at low cost, but for the price of the Laredo these features should be standard. Blind-spot monitors are standard, as are rear parking sensors. #SDADan
