The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee Night Eagle is more than just a sleek trim package—it’s a bold statement in stealth, performance, and luxury. Whether you're cruising through city streets or navigating rugged backroads, the Night Eagle edition is turning heads with its blacked-out accents and all-around presence. But what exactly sets this trim apart from the rest of the Grand Cherokee family? And is it worth the upgrade? Let’s break it down.
What Is the Night Eagle Trim?
The Night Eagle is a special edition trim that lives up to its name—it’s dark, moody, and sleek. Jeep first introduced the Night Eagle on select models to offer a more premium look without jumping to high-end Summit or Overland pricing. In 2025, this trim continues to evolve with standout features like:
- Gloss black 20" alloy wheels
- Black grille, badging, and roof rails
- Darkened headlamp bezels and window surrounds
- Uconnect 5 with 10.1” touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
- Dual-zone climate control and premium cloth/vinyl seats
This trim is available on both 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains, with the standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, producing 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque—more than enough for daily commutes and weekend adventures alike.
Built to Look Bad—In the Best Way
According to MotorTrend, the Night Eagle “delivers a luxury SUV look with an under-the-radar attitude,” noting that it’s perfect for buyers who don’t want flashy chrome or traditional SUV styling.
The black detailing isn’t just for aesthetics. It gives the Grand Cherokee a more aggressive road presence while remaining refined. As Kelley Blue Book puts it: “Jeep's Night Eagle edition adds character without overspending.”
If you’re comparing models, think of the Night Eagle as the stylish middle ground between the entry-level Laredo and the pricier Limited or Summit trims.
Tech & Safety
Jeep doesn’t skimp on technology with the Night Eagle. It includes:
- Active Lane Management
- Full-Speed Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Blind-spot Monitoring
This makes the Night Eagle not just a looker but a safer choice for family road trips and solo drives alike.
