Understanding the Miles per Gallon of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to be a popular choice for drivers seeking a blend of luxury, capability, and efficiency. At Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT (CJDRF) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, we stock a wide range of Grand Cherokees in our inventory. To choose the right vehicle for your needs from the various engine options and configurations, you need to understand the fuel efficiency of each model. Explore the miles per gallon ratings of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and learn how this iconic SUV balances power with efficiency.

Overview of Engine Options

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers two exceptional engine choices. The standard 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine produces 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant provides enough power for daily driving and light towing jobs. An eight-speed automatic transmission works with the engine, making gear shifts smooth and improving fuel use.

If you’re looking for better fuel economy, the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain is a significant upgrade. The turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine working together with a pair of electric motors delivers a strong 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque that can move the vehicle from zero to 60 mph in only 5.3 seconds. The powertrain achieves this impressive performance while keeping great fuel economy. With an all-electric range of 25 miles, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is a good choice for drivers who care about the environment.

For people who have even more space and power requirements, the Grand Cherokee L can seat up to seven people and comes with a powerful 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that produces 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. This beastly engine comes with a cylinder deactivation technology for improved fuel efficiency and it can tow up to 7,200 pounds.

Miles per Gallon Ratings by Model

The 2024 Grand Cherokee’s standard V-6 engine, available in both two-wheel-drive (2WD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) setups, combines power and economy. If you’re aiming to cut gas costs, the 4xe plug-in hybrid model shines with its exceptional fuel economy rating. Here’s how the different models compare when it comes to miles per gallon:

Model	City mpg	Highway mpg	Combined mpg
V-6 2WD	19	26	22
V-6 4WD	19	26	22
4xe (MPGe)	56	57	56
4xe (gas only)	23	24	23

MPGe, which stands for miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent, is a metric used for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. This measurement shows how far a vehicle can go using an amount of fuel with the same energy as a gallon of gasoline. The EPA uses a formula to calculate MPGe: 33.7 kWh of electricity equals one gallon of gasoline energy. This method allows for easier comparisons between electric and traditional vehicles.

Hybrid Model Efficiency

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid transforms fuel efficiency. It boasts a combined rating of 56 MPGe, outperforming its gas-only counterparts. This powerhouse maintains 23 mpg combined when running on gas alone. With the Grand Cherokee 4xe’s 25-mile all-electric range, you can easily make trips around Broken Arrow without the need to use gas.

Even if you’re planning a long drive, the 4xe won’t let you down. It provides a substantial 470-mile total range using both electric and gas power. You could drive from Broken Arrow to Oklahoma City and back twice and still have extra miles to spare. Charging is straightforward, with a 240-volt Level 2 charger filling up your SUV in roughly 2.5 hours, while a standard 120-volt outlet at home can complete the task overnight.

It might surprise you to discover this fuel-saving vehicle’s strength. It offers quick acceleration and can pull up to 6,000 pounds when set up correctly. It’s the optimal mix of efficiency and power, showing that you can have everything in one package.

Factors Influencing Fuel Efficiency

Several factors influence your Grand Cherokee’s actual fuel consumption on the road. Your driving habits take the top spot, affecting it the most. Smooth acceleration and gradual braking can increase your fuel economy by a lot. While driving on city streets with frequent stops typically consumes more gasoline than highway driving, have you considered other factors that might affect your fuel economy? A fully packed SUV or using the air conditioning on a hot Oklahoma day can also lower your fuel economy. 

The choice between 4WD and 2WD extends beyond mere off-road capabilities. It changes your fuel use too. 4WD gives you that versatile feeling, but it often uses more gas. If you get a higher trim level with the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension System, you might see a small boost in highway performance because of better airflow. To get the most out of each gallon, keep your tires properly inflated, follow your car’s maintenance plan, and don’t let your car idle without reason.

Comparison to Competitors

Among midsize SUVs, the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee stands out for its impressive fuel efficiency. Let’s examine the data to find out how it measures up to its key rivals:

Model	Combined mpg
Jeep Grand Cherokee V-6 (2WD)	22
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe	56 MPGe / 23 (gas only)
Honda Passport	21
Chevrolet Blazer	22
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport	22
Toyota 4Runner	17

In terms of fuel economy, the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s V-6 model competes strongly against several rivals. Its 4xe plug-in hybrid version stands out by offering excellent efficiency for environmentally conscious drivers. This SUV combines fuel efficiency and unmatched off-road skills. When you factor in the available high-end features, you get a vehicle that doesn’t compromise on performance or comfort.
