Stellantis Cuts Pricing for the 2025 Grand Cherokee
Several trim levels of the Grand Cherokee will be thousands less in 2025 to make it more accessible.
In case you didn’t know, the Grand Cherokee is Stellantis’s second-best-selling vehicle out of all 14 brands. For this year, the automaker has sold more than 160,000 units, coming close to the best-selling vehicle, the Ram pickup. And there’s little mystery as to why that is. There are 23 possible configurations of the Grand Cherokee, making it a popular choice for just about any family.
To make the Grand Cherokee even more enticing, Stellantis is cutting the MSRPs for the Laredo 4×2 and 3-row “L” trim by $1,000. The Summit trim’s starting price will also be cut by $4,000, too. However, those thirsty for the 4xe plug-in hybrid model won’t be celebrating. The prices for all 4xe models will remain the same going into 2025.
Going into 2025, the 5.7-liter V8 will no longer be available for the “L” models, which made Car & Driver‘s Austin Parsons think the price cut was to “reduce the sting” of the V8 walking the plank. Otherwise, most trim levels can come with the V6 or a turbo-four.
Readers Had Other Ideas

Car & Driver readers had mixed feelings about the announcement, with many assuming it was the company’s way of buying their customers’ affections.
Another reader suggested Jeep add a different engine to the options list. “They need to put the Hurrican I6 in the Grand Cherokee ASAP,” read the top-rated comment. “The ancient Pentastar V6 is woefully underpowered and it’s so out of date. The engine makes too little torque, fuel economy isn’t great, and it isn’t the smoothest engine on the market by a long shot.”
The reader continued to explain how the Hurricane engine would be a better option. “The 510-horsepower I6 would transform the Grand Cherokee for towing, passing, and its low-end torque would be ideal for off-roading.”
