The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude is a useful middle step for buyers who like the two-row Grand Cherokee but want a darker appearance and more everyday convenience than the base Laredo. It is not the three-row Grand Cherokee L, and it should not be confused with the plug-in-hybrid 4xe range.

Models available
The nearby choices are Laredo below Altitude and Limited above it. Jeep’s Canadian feature chart treats Altitude as a package on Laredo, while Canadian dealer catalogues display it as its own shopping selection. That distinction explains why a build sheet may contain both names. Canadian feature availability.
Choose the body first, then the trim. If you need a third row, the Grand Cherokee L is a separate comparison; paying for more equipment on this two-row version does not create additional seating. Likewise, a 4xe listing brings a different powertrain and price structure rather than simply another Altitude equipment package.
Engine and transmission
The Canadian 2024 V6 specification is a 3.6L Pentastar with 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. The Altitude catalogue pairs it with four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. Canadian engine specification; Altitude configuration.
The Altitude decision is therefore about equipment and appearance, not a horsepower increase over a comparable Laredo. Before deciding, assess the driving position, rearward visibility and low-speed manoeuvring on your own test drive.
What Altitude adds
The Canadian Altitude package lists 20-inch gloss-black wheels, black exterior detailing, remote start, a height-adjustable power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, wireless charging and a 115-volt outlet. Canadian Altitude package details.
The liftgate and charging convenience may matter more in daily ownership than the appearance changes. Try opening the cargo area in a space similar to your garage, and check whether your phone fits and charges reliably in the intended position. Confirm the condition and specification of the tyres rather than deciding on wheel appearance alone.
Infotainment and driver assistance
The Laredo-based system uses an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; Limited moves to a 10.1-inch navigation system. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and active lane management are listed across the Canadian range. Screens and assistance equipment.
Do not interpret those assistance features as autonomous driving. Learn their settings and limitations before relying on them. Also distinguish hardware from connected services: verify which subscriptions remain active on a used example rather than assuming the original trial is still available.
Passenger space, cargo and towing
For a two-row family SUV, test the cabin with the child seats and luggage you actually carry. Check rear-door access and whether an adult can sit comfortably after the front seats are adjusted for the regular drivers. A showroom impression of space is less useful than trying your own equipment.
Jeep’s V6 specification lists a maximum trailer weight of 6,200 lb when appropriately configured. That does not establish the capability of every Altitude. Verify the necessary towing equipment and the specific vehicle’s limits, including passengers, cargo and trailer tongue weight, before purchasing a trailer. Manufacturer towing specification.

Canadian trim comparison and pricing
Current Canadian manufacturer pricing for these exact 2024 configurations has not been verified as of October 31, 2026. All three rows are two-row 3.6L V6 4×4 models with an eight-speed automatic. Vehicle prices and price differences are omitted.
| 2024 trim | Reason to compare |
|---|---|
| Laredo | Laredo configuration without the Altitude package |
| Altitude | 20-inch black wheels, remote start, power liftgate and wireless charging |
| Limited | 10.1-inch navigation touchscreen instead of the Laredo-based 8.4-inch system |
Consult Jeep Canada for its current model range. Confirm the model year, two-row body, powertrain and fee basis; a later model-year quote is not a verified price for this 2024 Altitude.
Choose Altitude if its appearance and convenience equipment are the features you want. If your priority is the larger navigation screen, compare Limited directly rather than adding unrelated options to Altitude. Compare Laredo as well if you do not need the Altitude package.
Competition and buying verdict
The Honda Passport and Subaru Outback are useful practical alternatives to examine, although their layouts and equipment differ. Bring the same passenger, cargo and towing checklist to each. Altitude’s strongest case is for a buyer who wants this two-row Jeep with its specific appearance and convenience package, not simply the most expensive trim available.
