If you're in the market for a midsize SUV that blends everyday comfort with serious capability, the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee deserves your attention. Known for its upscale appointments, advanced tech, and off-road credibility, the Grand Cherokee continues to be a favorite in places like Fairbanks, North Pole, and Eielson Air Force Base—where drivers face a wide variety of road and weather conditions.
With several trims and plenty of available packages, it's easy to find a configuration that meets your needs. Whether you're after premium creature comforts, adventure-ready equipment, or something in between, here's a closer look at what each trim has to offer.
Laredo and Laredo X: More Than a Base Model
Don't let the entry-level position fool you—these trims come well-equipped for Alaska living. You'll get a responsive 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, plus available four-wheel drive for added confidence in snow and ice. Tech highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, and several advanced driver aids. Other amenities include proximity entry, a power driver's seat, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Step up to the Laredo X and you'll enjoy larger wheels and a sunroof. You can also add the Lux Tech Group I for cold-weather favorites like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel—must-haves for winter commutes in College or North Pole.
Altitude and Altitude X: Style and Convenience
Want something a little sportier? The Altitude trims build on the Laredo's foundation with dark-themed accents and upgraded interior materials. Remote start, a power liftgate, and a wireless charging pad come standard, while the Altitude X adds a power sunroof for extra daylight during those long winter months.
Limited: Premium Feel Without the Top-Tier Price
The Limited trim strikes a great balance between classy refinement and value. In addition to leather upholstery, you'll find a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen, heated rear seats, driver memory settings, and an active noise control system for a quieter ride. It's an ideal fit for Eielson AFB families who want a more refined feel without stepping all the way up to a luxury model.
The Limited trim also offers available upgrades like ventilated front seats and a surround-view camera.
Overland: Luxury Meets Capability
This trim lives up to its name. It has a more premium look and feel, with Nappa leather, a panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting. It also has trail-ready gear like the Quadra-Lift® air suspension and a Selec-Terrain® system, letting you go from downtown Fairbanks to roads less traveled without missing a beat. The Overland also offers a plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain for those interested in electric range and torque without giving up capability.
Trailhawk® 4xe: Built for the Backcountry
Speaking of capability, the Trailhawk® is the most off-road-focused Grand Cherokee in the lineup. It comes exclusively as a 4xe plug-in hybrid and adds equipment like an electronic limited-slip rear differential, tow hooks, adaptive air suspension, and all-terrain tires. If you're planning to hit the trails around North Pole or explore the rugged interior, this trim is for you.
Summit and Summit Reserve: Top-Tier Sophistication
The Summit builds on the Overland with high-end finishes and cutting-edge driver assistance systems, including hands-free driving capabilities, massaging front seats, and a surround-view camera.
If only the best will do, the Summit Reserve adds deluxe touches like 21-inch wheels, Palermo leather, ventilated rear seats, and a 19-speaker McIntosh audio system.
