2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trims
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a two-row crossover SUV. The Cherokee may be classified as a small SUV, but it has a big heart and has held its own against stiff competition since its introduction in 2014.
There are six trims available in the Cherokee range for 2023. As in the past, each trim level has all the features of the lower levels, with additional features.
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
The Laredo is the entry-level trim for the Cherokee, priced starting at $54,045. This capable vehicle comes with a 3.6L V6 that puts out 293hp and 260 lb/ft of torque, coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Laredo’s fuel consumption is 12 L/100km around town and 9 L/100km on the highway.
The Laredo comes with the Quadra-Trac I 4X4 system. As with all Cherokees, if it isn’t required, it is disconnected but immediately brought back into service when needed. The interior is very comfortable, with power-adjusted front seats and a 21.3 cm flush screen running UConnect 5 with voice commands. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and SiriusXM satellite radio are included.

Final Thoughts
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a multi-faceted SUV that combines a masculine image with elegant refinement. The Grand Cherokee gives the driver a smooth, composed drive. The performance of both the V6 and V8 engines is perky, with plenty of power for safe overtaking.
The entry-level trims offer a simple mainstream package, but as the trim levels rise, the models are packed with luxury materials and upmarket features. Despite the elegance and luxury trims, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee retains all its off-road capability. Under all this elegance is a Jeep that will traverse gnarly terrain, glide along a highway or transport the family around town. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee will happily tow a camping trailer or boat and have room to carry all the luggage.
