Shepard Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Jeep has long been the expert in adventure, engineering vehicles that conquer trails, snow, and everything in between. Yet the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee continues to prove that capability can also feel luxurious, comfortable, and perfectly suited for everyday life in Midcoast Maine. This new model year brings enhanced features, updated technology, and the same legendary confidence that has made the Grand Cherokee one of America’s most popular midsize SUVs.

What Is New for the 2026 Model Year

The 2026 Grand Cherokee builds on the strengths of previous generations with refined interior updates, expanded safety features, and improved efficiency for both traditional gas engines and the advanced 4xe plug in hybrid. Subtle exterior enhancements and updated wheel designs on select trims strengthen its position as a top choice for families and adventure seekers.

Designed for Comfort, Engineered for Capability

The 2026 Grand Cherokee continues to offer two powerful and efficient powertrains. The 3.6 liter V6 remains a trusted favorite for smooth daily driving and strong towing capability. The innovative 4xe plug in hybrid blends performance with sustainability and delivers impressive power, fast acceleration, and the ability to drive short distances on electric power alone. This combination makes the Grand Cherokee a smart choice for drivers who want strength and efficiency in every season. Improved suspension tuning and available off road systems allow the 2026 model to handle gravel roads, changing weather, and winter conditions with ease. Whether you are commuting along the coast or heading toward the mountains for a weekend escape, the Grand Cherokee delivers a balanced, confident ride.

I bought a new Ram 2500 from Shepard auto group. Ask for the salesman Gorden Simmons, he was really great to deal with. He’s a straight shooter and doesn’t play the typical games you get when purchasing a vehicle. He will work hard to get you in the vehicle you are looking for at the lowest price possible. He gave me an unbelievably great trade in price for my truck I traded in. 20% more than every other dealership I visited.

We told our sales person more than once we needed AWD, fast talked us into a 2023 leftover, got 1/2 way from Rockland to Newcastle, realized it was FWD, calls and was told nothing they could do. After that was ghosted!! Wanted to trade it for something else, no reply, called to cancel service contract was told 39-60 days for refund, still haven’t gotten it. Now we have traded it in and are owed a GAP refund, will see if they get that one. Called about refund and no one returned call. Poor customer service

I just bought a used Toyota Tacoma at this dealership. The salesperson was helpful, respectful and courteous. He was easy to work with and was positive when asked more than once for the best deal available on the used vehicle. He was assisted by others in completing the sale. It is a young, able and friendly team and an experience that was lacking in stress. We were able to come to a very fair price.
