Snapshot
- 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee pricing and features
- Five-seat Grand Cherokee arrives in Australia; new Overland variant
- Priced from $77,950 before on-road costs
The new variant headlines an update to the fifth-generation 'WL' Grand Cherokee range, which launched in Australia one year ago in seven-seat, long-wheelbase 'L' form.
While the 3.6-litre naturally-aspirated V6 continues for most variants, Jeep will offer a 2.0-litre four-cylinder '4xe' plug-in hybrid for the range-topping, five-seat Summit Reserve later this year.
UPDATE, August 22: Blacked-out styling package now available for Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited variants
Jeep Australia has announced a new 'Black Appearance Group' styling package for five- and seven-seat Grand Cherokee Limited variants. This story, first published in February, has been updated to include the option package.
The five-seat Grand Cherokee is priced from $77,950 before on-road costs – up $17,500 over the previous-generation model – with four grades available: Night Eagle, Limited, Overland and Summit Reserve.
This is in line with the Grand Cherokee L, which gains the mid-spec Overland trim for model-year 2023 and minor price rises.
Other additions include a larger 10.1-inch infotainment system for the entry-level Night Eagle and a 360-degree camera system for the Limited.
While Jeep Australia has homologated the off-road-focused Trailhawk five-seat variant, it remains under consideration – but a Trailhawk-lite 'Off-Road Group' option pack is available for the Grand Cherokee Overland.

The engine is matched with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels.
Jeep will not offer the fifth-generation Grand Cherokee with petrol V8 or turbo-diesel power; however, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain will be available on the two-row Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve due later this year.
It comprises a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine matched to an electric motor, with a total system output of 280kW and 344Nm.
Braked towing capacity for the 3.6-litre V6 is rated at 2813 kilograms – including the Summit Reserve – while the five-seat PHEV is listed at 2722kg.
