First Look: Refined but Still Authentic Jeep

When I first walked up to the 2026 Grand Cherokee at Liberty CDJR, it looked upscale without losing its rugged DNA. The signature seven-slot grille is unmistakable, but the sculpted hood and LED lighting give it a modern edge. Driving through downtown Libertyville, it felt polished and composed. It blends in perfectly near Vernon Hills’ upscale shopping areas while still looking ready for a snowy Illinois winter. Inside, I immediately noticed how quiet the cabin felt. The Summit trim in particular feels genuinely premium, with quilted leather seating, real wood accents, and a clean, high-tech dashboard layout.

Transmission
Merging onto I-94 felt effortless, and the 8-speed automatic shifts seamlessly.
Handling
The steering feels precise, and the available Quadra-Lift® air suspension noticeably improves ride comfort.
Ride Quality
Even on rougher Illinois pavement, the Grand Cherokee stays composed.
Hybrid Option
If you opt for the 4xe plug-in hybrid, you get stronger combined torque (470 lb-ft), which makes acceleration feel even more responsive — especially helpful in stop-and-go Lake County traffic.
