Jeep presents the 2026 Grand Cherokee update, a model that opts for evolution rather than revolution. Maintaining its recognizable design and off-road character, the main novelty lies under the hood. The SUV abandons the plug-in hybrid option to incorporate the new Hurricane 4 Turbo gasoline engine, a clear bet on modern combustion mechanics in a competitive family segment.
The Heart of the Matter: Hurricane 4 Turbo Engine Specifications ⚙️
The 2.0-liter four-cylinder Hurricane 4 Turbo engine replaces the previous 4xe system. This block, already used in other Stellantis group models, offers power and torque figures similar to the previous hybrid version, but with a conventional propulsion scheme. The decision simplifies the engine lineup and focuses on an internal combustion engine optimized for response and efficiency, without the complexity of plug-in systems.
Goodbye to the Plug, Hello to the Usual Gas Station ⛽
With this move, Jeep seems to tell its customers to forget about looking for a cable. The 4xe philosophy is parked, literally, to return to the familiar. Now you can focus on the two things that really matter: the ability to climb a curb and the location of the nearest gas station. A step backward to not complicate life, or perhaps a nod to those who believe a Jeep should sound like a combustion engine, not electric silence.
