Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo & Laredo X: Dependable, Rugged, and Ready 

The Jeep Grand Cherokee carries a strong American heritage built over decades of craftsmanship and innovation, and that foundation is most clearly felt in the Laredo and Laredo X trims. Both are powered by the tried-and-true 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine, producing 293 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque, rated at 22 mpg combined. These entry-level trims deliver a rugged yet refined ride quality built for everything from Hudson Valley commutes to weekend getaways. Even at this tier, drivers get an intuitive safety foundation that includes lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring. At Croton Auto Park, we stock both configurations so you can compare them side by side. Here's what the Laredo and Laredo X bring to the table: 

• 3.6-Liter Pentastar® V6 Engine - 293 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, offering dependable power for everyday driving and weekend adventures
