The Only Jeep Grand Cherokee MPG Guide You'll Need

The Jeep Grand Cherokee MPG for 2027 can go as high as 21/26/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 thanks to the new, highly efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 available starting with the Laredo Altitude trim level. This engine makes the 2026 facelift among the most fuel-efficient Grand Cherokee models – without using diesel for an extra boost. At Haley Automotive Group, we're passionate about providing the most comprehensive overview of every vehicle in our inventory, including the hard-working midsize two- to three-row Jeep SUV.

But what if you don't have a 2026 or 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and which trim levels can access this new engine? Let's explore your options and find the perfect new – or used – model.

Jeep Grand Cherokee MPG by Trim Level

The new Jeep Grand Cherokee for sale comes in eight distinct trim levels, including the return of the Overland and the Trail-Rated Trailhawk trim. While both of these trim levels prioritize off-road capability, they are actually rated to be as fuel-efficient as the more commuter-friendly models of the lineup. As a result, the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee MPG is more influenced by two factors: can it come in 4x2, and does it have the 3.6-liter V-6 or the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine?

Jeep Grand Cherokee MPG by Engine

As you can see in the chart above, the biggest difference in Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel economy is whether the SUV is equipped with the 3.6-liter V-6 or the new-to-2026 powertrain: the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4. That engine, starting at the Laredo Altitude level, is stronger than the 3.6-liter V-6 (with 324 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque), provides a higher towing capacity of 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, and offers better EPA ratings.

Jeep Grand Cherokee by Year

Since its inception in 1993, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has prioritized large, consistently excellent engines. This year's Jeep Grand Cherokee gas type is all-regular, much like it is for most years. However, did you know that between 2014 and 2019, this model had access to diesel engines? Those have the best EPA-estimated MPG ratings, but since diesel fuel tends to be more expensive, the 2026 model year actually has the most fuel-efficient rating of the gas-only lineup.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe MPG

The Jeep Grand Cherokee MPG only improves with the help of a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Grand Cherokee 4xe was discontinued in 2026, as the Jeep lineup moves toward range-extending hybrids over traditional PHEV power. However, the 2026 model still provides 25 miles of all-electric range,4 so if you're interested in electric power but want a powerful gas engine to back it up, these PHEV SUVs can work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of gas does a Jeep Grand Cherokee take?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee accepts regular gasoline or diesel. Not a single model since the lineup's inception in 1993 has required anything more than standard-octane fuel to meet optimal fuel economy and performance specifications. While most accept regular gas, 2014-2019 Grand Cherokee models equipped with the 3.0-liter turbo diesel V-6 will need diesel fuel.

How much gas does a Jeep Grand Cherokee hold?

The amount of gas held by a Jeep Grand Cherokee depends slightly on model year. A 2027 Grand Cherokee has a standard fuel tank of 23 gallons, for example. A 2021 Grand Cherokee has a fuel tank of 24.6 gallons, which gives it slightly more range than its more modern sibling.

Which Jeep Grand Cherokee has the best fuel economy?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee with the best fuel economy is among the 4xe, diesel models, and the modern 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4. The 4xe adds all-electric capability to your drive, the 2014-2019 turbo diesel models have the highest posted MPG ratings, and the new 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 offers the lowest annual fuel costs.

How can I improve the fuel economy on my Jeep Grand Cherokee?

You can improve the fuel economy on your Jeep Grand Cherokee by:

  • Avoiding stop-and-start traffic when possible
  • Checking your tire pressure
  • Closing your windows when driving at 60 mph or faster
  • Trying to slow to a stop, rather than suddenly braking
  • Staying within speed limits
  • Following scheduled maintenance

How many miles can a Jeep Grand Cherokee go on a full tank?

The actual range of your Jeep Grand Cherokee depends on your model year. However, the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2WD and the 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 engine can drive up to 529 miles.2 This is thanks to the Jeep Grand Cherokee gas tank size of 23 gallons and its EPA-estimated 23 MPG (Combined).1
