2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo X: Methuen Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Grand Cherokee Laredo X

The Laredo X starts at $41,415 MSRP before destination, taxes and fees, about $1,900 above the base Laredo. The money buys comfort and convenience: a moonroof, a power liftgate, remote start, rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and wireless phone charging. It keeps the 293-horsepower V6, so it is the trim for someone who wants a cold-weather package without paying for the turbo.

The cold-morning package

Look at what separates this trim from the Laredo and it reads like a list of things you want on a January morning. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, remote start so the cabin is warm before you walk out, and rain-sensing wipers that deal with road spray on the highway without being asked. The power liftgate matters in a parking lot full of slush when your hands are full, and the moonroof earns its keep from May through October. Wireless phone charging rounds out the list for anyone who is tired of cables.

Taken together, the extras are worth more than the $1,900 asking price to most people who live where winters are long. If you plan to keep the Jeep for several years, that is the gap to weigh, not the sticker on its own.

Still a V6

This is the last trim with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 (293 horsepower, 260 lb-ft) before the turbo four takes over. EPA numbers are 19 city, 26 highway and 22 combined, and the towing rating is 6,200 pounds with proper equipment, same as the turbo. So the decision is about feel and efficiency rather than capability. The turbo trims are quicker and a little more economical, with the first one, Laredo Altitude, costing about $2,900 more than this trim. The V6 is a known quantity and a fair match for how most people actually drive a Grand Cherokee.

Two-row or L, and rear drive or 4×4

Laredo X is rear-wheel drive as standard, with four-wheel drive costing about $2,000 more, and the third-row Grand Cherokee L adds about $2,000 over the two-row. Put both on and you are at roughly $45,400 before destination, which is worth keeping in mind when you compare it with the Limited.

What buyers say
