Russ Darrow Automotive Group – Hands-Free Confidence and Smart Screens — Why the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Fits Life Around Green Bay, WI

If you split your time between Howard, De Pere, and downtown Green Bay, you know that an SUV’s real talent shows up in the small moments—merging onto I-41, navigating tight lots around Lambeau Field, and keeping passengers content on WI-172. That’s exactly where the 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee shines. Two standouts define the day-to-day ease: the new 12.3-inch Uconnect® 5 NAV touchscreen with newly standard navigation and the suite of advanced driver assistance features headlined by available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist. Together, these innovations make the Grand Cherokee feel like a calm, capable partner across the full rhythm of your week.

The Uconnect 5 NAV system is faster and more customizable than ever, with crisp graphics and a natural layout that minimizes taps. Add the Class-Exclusive available Front Passenger Interactive Touchscreen Display, and your co-pilot becomes a true navigator—able to search points of interest, send route updates to the central screen, and adjust audio without leaning across the console. Support for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keeps your digital life smoothly integrated, and available wireless charging means cords can stay tucked away. For those who love immersive sound, the available McIntosh® audio system brings home-theater-level depth to playlists and podcasts, transforming commutes on I-43 and Sunday drives along the Fox River into something you’ll look forward to.

On the road, available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist offers a new layer of long-drive comfort on approved highways. The system can allow brief hands-off intervals while monitoring driver attentiveness, which is especially helpful on familiar stretches between Green Bay and the Fox Cities. The semiautonomous Active Driving Assist System is also available for everyday lanes, gently assisting with centering and spacing in traffic. It’s the kind of thoughtful technology that takes the edge off rush hour without ever getting in your way.

Parking and low-speed maneuvering are equally dialed. An available 360-degree Surround View Camera helps you judge curbs and tight spaces with an overhead perspective—perfect for narrow Olde Main lots or angled street parking near the Broadway District. And the available Digital Rearview Mirror lets you flip from a standard mirror to a live video feed when cargo or tall headrests block the back glass.

Families will appreciate how easily the Grand Cherokee flexes for different days. Two-row models offer up to 70.8 cubic feet of cargo space for tailgate gear or a big warehouse store haul. Need more seats? The Grand Cherokee L (3-row) includes multiple passenger and cargo configurations, up to 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded, and 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the third row for strollers, backpacks, or team equipment. Available multicolor ambient LED lighting and available 16-way power front seats with massage elevate comfort on longer drives to Door County or over to Manitowoc. Add the available Hands-Free Power Liftgate, and loading becomes a one-step move when you’ve got your hands full.

Capability remains at the core of this SUV. The new 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo engine brings robust power, and when properly equipped, delivers a best-in-class 6,200-pound maximum towing capacity—ideal for hauling a small boat to a Green Bay launch or moving a utility trailer between weekend projects. For added confidence in changing road conditions, the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System lets you toggle among Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, or Mud/Sand for tailored responses, while the available Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension System can raise the vehicle for extra clearance on rougher paths and lower it at speed for a settled highway ride.
