2020 Grand Cherokee Horsepower and Engine Specs
 |
 |
The Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn’t mess around when it comes to the engine that’s hard at work under the hood. This model actually gives you four different engines to choose from as you build the perfect SUV for you. These engine options are:
- 3.6L Pentastar® V6: 295 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque
- 5.7L V8: 360 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque
- 6.4L V8: 475 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque
- 6.2L supercharged V8: 707 horsepower, 645 lb-ft of torque
As you can see, the 2020 Grand Cherokee offers a full range of power output, from the highly drivable 3.6L Pentastar® V6 to one of the exciting and heavy-duty V8 engines. They’re all very capable, too, as you can tell from their towing capacities.
The V6 engine can tow a maximum of 6,200 pounds when properly equipped and the V8 engines can tow up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped.
All four engines come paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that optimizes performance.
Handling Capabilities
As someone who lives here in upstate NY, you’re probably all too familiar with snowy wintertime commutes. When you’re behind the wheel of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you can take on all weather and terrain conditions with added confidence thanks to the available 4×4 (4-wheel drive) systems:
- Quadra-Drive® II
- Quadra-Trac I®
- Quadra-Trac II®
- Quadra-Trac® SRT®
All four 4×4 systems are full-time systems, which means they’re always on and always working. They actively monitor your roadway conditions and then automatically redistribute torque as necessary to prevent or respond to wheelslip.
Some even include a HIGH and LO mode to help you take on especially tough off-road terrain. Plus, they all include the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. This system lets you choose among five different modes (Auto, Snow, Sand, Mud, and available Rock) to optimize traction control to your specific conditions.
Interior Specs
Before we wrap up, let’s take a quick look inside the cabin of the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. As a 2-row SUV, you can expect plenty of room for five passengers, including the driver. Go ahead and stretch out and get cozy in the 105.4 cubic feet of total passenger volume. This includes the following interior dimensions:
- Headroom (front/rear): 39.9/39.2 inches
- Legroom (front/rear): 40.3/38.6 inches
Behind the second row, you can pack heavy for your next family vacation with 36.3 cubic feet of trunk space. If you need even more room to help you bring furniture home to your new house or pack up bikes during a weekend adventure, then fold down the second-row seats.
Doing this will open up the full 68.3 cubic feet of total cargo volume.
