2020 Grand Cherokee Engine Lineup

Under the hood of the Grand Cherokee, you’ll find one of four powertrain options that are available. Each offers varying performance stats, allowing you to choose the best one for your needs.

The standard engine for the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the 3.6L Pentastar® V6. This provides you with a horsepower of 295 and 260 lb-ft of torque and also features Electronic Stop/Start. This helps saves on fuel even when you’re towing up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped.

Next up is the 5.7L HEMI® V8. With extra horsepower and torque coming in at 360 and 390 lb-ft respectively, you’ll be able to reach a max towing capacity of an impressive 7,200 pounds.

A 6.4L SRT® V8 is also available, and that’s paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission that offers five different modes: Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, and Tow. This retains the top-towing rating of 7,200 pounds but amps up the strength with 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Finally, you have the available Supercharged 6.2L V8 engine. With 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque under your belt, you’ll be able to easily hit 60 MPH in just 3.5 seconds.

 Grand Cherokee Drivetrain Options

Whether you traditionally travel on city roads or need something suitable for off-roading, finding the right 4x4 system is crucial. The 2020 Grand Cherokee offers a wide variety, so you can get the control and traction you need.
 

• Selec-Terrain® System: This base 4x4 setup is found on most Grand Cherokee models and provides you with all-weather capability. It does this with adjustable modes for Auto, Snow, Mud, and Rock.
   
• Quadra-Trac I® 4WD: For extra peace of mind, this four-wheel-drive system is also standard. It gives you easy command of the road when combined with the Brake Lock Differential system.
   
• Quadra-Trac II® 4WD: This available system offers the control that you read about above while adding in Hill Descent Control. This keeps your Jeep at a safe speed when taking on hills when off-roading and will automatically adjust its control when the terrain becomes more challenging.
   
• Quadra-Drive® II 4WD: Adding on a 230MM rear axle and an electronic limited slip differential, 100 percent of your torque will be transferred away from slipping wheels for optimal traction.
   
• Quadra-Trac® Active On Demand 4WD: This smooth operating system requires no driver interaction! When driving normally, it will evenly distribute all the power to each of your wheels. If it senses one or more of the wheels are slipping, it will automatically place power on the wheels with the most traction to keep you steady.
