Choosing between 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee trims is challenging. Three distinct options are available for Lewisville drivers, each with benefits. The budget-friendly Laredo provides value for money, the family-oriented Limited trim adds comfort features, and the bold Altitude attracts attention on Texas highways. There's a Grand Cherokee tailored to your life waiting for you, whether you battle Dallas-Fort Worth traffic daily or escape to the Hill Country on weekends. This Jeep Grand Cherokee model comparison, compiled by our Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) Lewisville team, includes the details for selecting the right one.
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
The Laredo trim offers economical Grand Cherokee access with three options: the Laredo A, the standard Laredo, and the Laredo X. All three employ the same 3.6L Pentastar V-6, generating 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, matched with an eight-speed automatic. The Pentastar's fuel efficiency is 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined.
Standard features include Uconnect 5 with an 8.4-inch touch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 10.25-inch digital display cluster. Premium cloth seats come standard, while the Laredo X adds a power sunroof. Base models get 17-inch wheels; the Laredo X has 18-inch wheels standard.
Safety technology includes blind-spot monitoring, automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, lane management, collision warnings, and parking assist. All Laredo trims tow up to 6,200 pounds with two—or four-wheel drive (4WD). Every Laredo starts at under $40,000, making this SUV affordable for Texas families.
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
The Limited trim utilizes the same Pentastar engine as the Laredo. The infotainment touch screen is 10.1 inches with built-in navigation, making it a bit easier to navigate DFW traffic than using the Laredo's 8.4-inch display.
Heated front and second-row seats are great for our North Texas cold snaps, and the Capri leatherette upholstery cleans easily. The six-speaker premium audio system includes noise cancellation. Other upgrades include a power passenger seat, liftgate, and memory settings.
Exterior features include 18-inch polished aluminum wheels and LED fog lamps. The Limited feels more refined than the Laredo, making it perfect for client meetings or longer road trips.
2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude
The Altitude is priced between the Laredo X and the Limited trims and features blacked-out styling, including gloss black 18-inch wheels, black accents, badges, grille, roof rails, and mirror caps.
The interior includes heated Capri leatherette front seats with faux-suede inserts and a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel. Tech upgrades feature wireless charging (unavailable in the Laredo), remote start, and power liftgate. Standard connectivity includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, automatic climate control, and a backup camera.
The Altitude X variant adds 20-inch gloss black wheels for more aggressive styling. This trim will appeal to a style-conscious driver who wants a statement vehicle. The blacked-out look handles Texas heat well, showing less dust while resisting sun fading.
Key Specifications Comparison
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude vs. Limited vs. Laredo comparison is telling. All three trims share identical performance specs, employing the same 293-hp V-6 and an eight-speed automatic transmission. When properly equipped, the towing capacity is 6,200 pounds, and the payload ranges from 1,160 pounds to 1,280 pounds, depending on the drivetrain.
Cargo space is identical at 37.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to 70.8 cubic feet with all passenger seats folded. Ground clearance starts at 8.4 inches but increases to 10.9 inches with optional air suspension.
Safety ratings remain consistent across trims. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded it five out of five stars overall, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick. Some key differences are wheel sizes (17 inches for the Laredo, 18 inches for most trims, and 20 inches on the Altitude X) and touch screen sizes (8.4 inches on the Laredo and 10.1 inches on most higher trims).
Pricing and Value Analysis
Surprisingly, the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokees are less expensive than the 2024 models. Full pricing breaks down like this:
- Laredo A: $36,495
- Laredo: $37,035
- Laredo X: $37,785
- Altitude: $41,640
- Altitude X: $42,140
- Limited: $42,905
Are you wondering what the extra money brings to the higher trims? The Limited costs $6,410 more than base Laredo A, adding leather seats, a bigger touch screen, heated seats, and a premium sound system. The Altitude adds $5,145 to the Laredo A's cost, featuring blacked-out styling and wireless charging.
You should also factor in strong resale values. Jeeps hold their value better than many competitors, especially Grand Cherokees with their legendary reliability. This matters in Texas, where we deal with brutal heat, often tow boats or trailers, and regularly drive long distances.
Real-World Driving Experience
While the EPA claims 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway/22 mpg combined, actual testing averaged closer to 17 mpg in mixed driving. However, the 23-gallon tank still provides about 506 miles of range, enough to get from Lewisville to San Antonio without stopping for gas.
If you're into off-roading, the 8.4-inch standard ground clearance handles most off-pavement situations, but the optional air suspension option increases that to 10.9 inches. The available 4WD systems with a two-speed transfer case make light work of muddy ranch roads or rocky Hill Country trails. Even the base trims are more capable off-road than most competitors.
Daily driving comfort is good. The steering might feel a bit heavy in parking lots, but it lightens up at highway speeds. The rear seats comfortably fit three adults, although the front seats might feel firm on longer drives.
