2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee ditches V8, trims trim and trims
Limited, Overland and Summit models are $3,000 to $4,000 cheaper than last year October 21, 2024 19:01 Jeep is revamping its Grand Cherokee lineup by slashing the interior and lowering prices on higher-end models. Pricing starts at $37,035 for the two-row model, while the three-row model starts at $39,035. The 5.7-liter V8 is dead, leaving customers with the choice of a 3.6-liter V6 or a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Jeep went on to apologize as the brand is "increasing affordability" of the 2025 Grand Cherokee. That's a bit of a misnomer, however, as the entry-level "Laredo A" has apparently been dropped, meaning the price climbs from $36,495 to $37,035. That's not the only change, as the two-row lineup has been reduced to just four models, including Laredo, Limited, Overland and Summit. As a result, the Laredo X, Altitude, Altitude X and Summit Reserve are all doomed. More: Jeep kills V8, Grand Cherokee L, V6 becomes only option On the bright side,…
