In this article, we will dive into the specifics so you can make the right choice.

What Engine is Seen in the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and Limited?
Both the Laredo and Limited share the same foundation: the familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine’s output—around 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque—is great in both trims, giving each trim a reliable, confident feeling of acceleration and plenty of power delivery for everyday driving. Both trims also offer rear-wheel drive or Jeep’s available 4x4 systems, meaning more power, and that capability isn’t just reserved for higher trims.
Thanks to the shared powertrain and frame, both the Laredo and Limited are rated up to 6,200 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. Suspension tuning is similar as well, giving both trims a balanced, controlled ride that Car and Driver frequently praises for being more refined than the previous generation. Whether used for commuting, family travel, or weekend towing, both trims perform with the same underlying strength and mechanical reliability.
Do the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and Limited Share Any Features?
Both trims include the same Uconnect infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a modern digital instrument display, and the same core suite of safety features, such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning with automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control. Both models also ride on Jeep’s latest Grand Cherokee platform, meaning identical cabin space, cargo capacity, and overall build quality. Both trims also feature similar off-road underpinnings, with available traction-enhancing 4x4 systems, multiple drive modes (depending on your environment), and the same overall ground clearance: no matter what trim you get with Jeep, you can always assume there are great off-road features thrown in there, just in case.
What Features Are Seen From the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited?
According to Edmunds, the Limited comes with a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen and built-in navigation, giving you more tech in the cabin. It also upgrades the upholstery to Capri leatherette and includes memory settings for the driver’s seat plus a power-adjustable front passenger seat.

- Heated front and second-row seats
- Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Ambient interior lighting
- Power liftgate
- LED fog lamps
- Remote start

Should I Get a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo or Limited?
The difference comes down to how much comfort, technology, and convenience you want built into your daily drive. The Laredo offers all the essentials at the most accessible price point.
