The standard fourth-generation Grand Cherokee is mighty impressive, but owners could deck out their SUV with a variety of different trim options. There have been more than 10 different versions of the nameplate since 2011, providing owners with a variety of amenities and capabilities.
These trims often required an extra investment, but that won’t be an issue if you’re pursuing a used fourth-generation Grand Cherokee. You could realistically have one of these specific versions fall right in your lap, and you might not even see a bump in the value!
Laredo
The Laredo E was among the first trim options available on the Grand Cherokee. Along with the regular Laredo trim (available in 2014), drivers could expect a number of amenities. The version features a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, which was partnered with either a five-speed automatic transmission (2011-2013) or eight-speed automatic transmission (2014) and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The interior included an AM-FM stereo with a CD/MP3 player (which was accompanied by an auxiliary audio output jack). Drivers could appreciate the music via the six-speaker audio system. The trims also offered cloth seating and a security alarm.
The Laredo X was available between 2011 and 2013, and it essentially added several amenities to those previously-mentioned trims. The vehicle rode on 18-inch alloy wheels, and buyers could opt for the impressive 5.7-liter HEMI V8.
This particular trim was more about the interior amenities, however. Designers included a touch-screen infotainment center, which allowed drivers to access SiriusXM Satellite Radio. An Alpine nine-speaker premium sound system (with subwoofer and center-channel speaker (with surround-sound, push-button start)) helped make for one of the best driving experiences possible.
Overland
The Grand Cherokee offers plenty of luxury, but the Overland trim took that opulence to another level. Available since 2011, this version of the SUV includes leather upholstery and heated/ventilated front bucket seats. The center console offers GPS navigation, providing drivers with guidance during their trip.
The vehicle rode on four 20-inch chrome-plated alloy wheels, which partnered perfectly with the EcoDiesel TurboDiesel V6 engine or 5.7-liter HEMI V8. For convenience, engineers added a power liftgate and a panoramic sliding sunroof.
The Overland Summit was available from 2011 through 2014. The trim added “Summit” front seats and a “Summit” emblem out back. In 2014, engineers added the incredible 19-speaker Harman/Kardon premium surround-sound system.
