Whether you’re on a daily commute or a weekend road trip, this cabin provides a serene, upscale retreat with plenty of room for family gear or adventure essentials.

Powertrain Options

Under the hood, the Summit comes standard with a 3.6‑liter Pentastar V6 engine pairing 293 horsepower with ~260 lb‑ft of torque. This setup, combined with an 8‑speed automatic transmission, helps the SUV tow up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped.
For those seeking electrified performance and efficiency, the Summit can also be equipped with the 4xe plug‑in hybrid powertrain—powered by a 2.0‑liter turbo I4 and an electric motor—that delivers 375 hp, 470 lb‑ft of torque, and allows towing up to 6,000 pounds. The 4xe also boasts an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe and about 25 miles of EV-only range, making it both powerful and eco-conscious.

Fuel Efficiency That Impresses

When equipped with the V6, the Summit achieves an EPA-estimated 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway—with a combined rating of around 22 MPG—thanks to technologies like Electronic Stop/Start. These figures deliver a commendable balance of performance and efficiency for a luxury midsize SUV.
Opting for the 4xe hybrid dramatically improves fuel economy, offering 56 MPGe combined, making it the most efficient Grand Cherokee ever.

Capability

The Summit doesn’t lack capability. Equipped with the Pentastar V6, it can tow up to 6,200 pounds—perfect for towing boats, trailers, or gear-laden adventures. The 4xe variant, with slightly less towing capacity (6,000 lb), delivers better fuel economy without sacrificing haul power.
Jeep’s advanced 4×4 systems—such as Quadra‑Trac II and Quadra‑Drive II with an available Quadra‑Lift air suspension—and the terrain-select system called Selec‑Terrain, ensure that the Summit performs impressively across diverse terrains.

Cutting-Edge Technology & Safety

Technology in the Summit is top-tier, featuring the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a massive 10.1‑inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, optional front passenger touchscreen, wireless charging, and an available 950‑watt, 19‑speaker McIntosh audio system that creates a concert-like experience on wheels.
Safety and driver assistance are equally prioritized standard features include blind-spot monitoring, cross-path detection, active lane management, and advanced braking, delivering confidence and comfort for every drive.

Pricing & Trim Positioning

According to Edmunds, the Summit’s starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is around $60,555, landing it near the top of the Grand Cherokee lineup, just below the Summit Reserve. While there are no drastic changes for 2025 compared to the previous model, the Summit continues to offer a combination of luxury and capability that few competitors match.
