How we use engine sizes.
Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Jeep Grand Cherokee from 2000, when the data begins, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 16.9 to 29.7 mpg, with CO2 of 246 to 382 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 83.1 to 108.6 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 16.8 to 37.7 mpg, with CO2 of 184 to 400 g/km.

Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2018
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as
well as on fuel.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “New Jeep Grand Cherokee (June 05 On)”, “Jeep Grand Cherokee, MY2016”, “Grand Cherokee MY23”, “Jeep Grand Cherokee (02 Model Year)”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Jeep Grand Cherokee safety recalls
DVSA lists 47 safety recalls for the Jeep Grand Cherokee since 1992, the first in 1996. The most recent was launched on 16 February 2026.
2020-2025 Jeep Wrangler and 2022-2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee PHEV vehicles. High voltage battery.
Launched 16 February 2026DVSA recall R/2026/029Manufacturer ref. 68C
Defect
On affected vehicles the High Voltage (HV) battery may have been built with a battery pack which contains cells which are susceptible to separator damage which combined with other complex interactions within the cells may lead to a vehicle fire.
Remedy
Reprogram the battery pack control module with modified software and check and if necessary replace the HV Battery.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Jeep Grand Cherokee. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
