How we verify Jeep Grand Cherokee performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Jeep Grand Cherokee trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Jeep Grand Cherokee performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Jeep Grand Cherokee on record is the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which runs 0–60 mph in 3.3 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 11.70 seconds at 116.2 mph.
The slowest recorded Jeep Grand Cherokee is the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, which takes 10.0 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.40 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 59 verified runs, a Jeep Grand Cherokee reaches 60 mph in 6.86 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.16 seconds at roughly 92.0 mph.
We have verified test data for 21 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Four Wheeler MT, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Jeep Grand Cherokee can do, not a single marketing claim.
