Yahoo Autos Jeep Grand Cherokee to get Laredo X and Altitude X packages
Mopar Insiders reports a familiar letter will soon return to the Jeep Grand Cherokee trim lineup, with Laredo X and Altitude X packages on the way. As is tradition, X will mark a more luxurious spot for both. Counter to tradition, the upgrades detailed so far won't be as luxurious as before. The Laredo X is said to add a single-pane sunroof for the two- and three-row models, and 18-inch fully painted aluminum wheels on the two-row model. The three-row Grand Cherokee already comes with that 18-inch wheel. Prices aren't available yet, but on the five-seat Grand Cherokee those options would add $890 for the wheels and $1,440 for the single-pane sunroof, boosting the $42,830 base price by $2,330.
It's possible there will be more on the way by the time the Laredo X reaches dealers. The 2021 Grand Cherokee Laredo X bundled a bunch more comfort goodies such as a heated steering wheel, heated, leather-trimmed seats, remote start, a power liftgate, and the 8.4-inch Uconnect system with navigation. The 2023 Laredo trim comes standard with the 8.4-inch UConnect, those other options require buying the the $1,545 Luxury Tech Group I Package.
The Altitude Package already spiffs up the Grand Cherokee with lots of black accents from the roof rails to the 20-inch aluminum wheels, and makes the Luxury Tech Group I Package part of the $47,935 base MSRP. MI says the Altitude X version will add the single-pane sunroof, also a $1,440 option here. Stepping back to the 2021 SUV again, the Limited X package — which sat above the Altitude, Altitude X, and Limited trims — threw in equipment like that sunroof, plus a sport hood, gloss black accents outside, special Heritage seats in black leather, and 20-inch wheels. So we wouldn't be surprised to hear there's more involved here as well once it's time to charge customers.
