Cargo Space and Interior Flexibility
One of the biggest reasons Lowcountry drivers choose the Grand Cherokee is its balance of passenger comfort and cargo room. The standard 2-row model provides 70.8 cubic feet (all seats folded) and the longer 3-row Grand Cherokee L offering up to 84.6 cubic feet (all seats folded), with 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row.
Cargo highlights include:
· Spacious rear cargo area for beach gear, golf clubs, or strollers
· Split-folding rear seats for longer items like paddleboards or fishing gear
· Flat load floor for easy loading and unloading
This makes the Grand Cherokee ideal for weekend trips to Hilton Head or hauling gear for outdoor adventures.
Towing Capacity for Boats, Campers, and More
Living near the coast means towing is often part of life. The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers confident towing capability for boats, small campers, and utility trailers.
· Maximum towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped
· Available Trailer Sway Control for added confidence
· Strong V6 power that balances performance and efficiency
Whether you are towing to the marina or heading inland for a camping trip, the Grand Cherokee is built to handle it.
MPG and Efficiency
Efficiency matters, especially with daily commutes and long drives across South Carolina and Georgia.
Expected MPG ranges include:
· Competitive fuel economy for a midsize SUV
