Jeep Vehicles w/ Adaptive Cruise Control (8 Popular Models)

ByWinston Davis

Adaptive cruise control is increasingly common in many mainstream vehicles, including Jeeps.

The following Jeep SUVs and trucks have adaptive cruise control or conventional cruise control system.

Check the corresponding tables to see the relevant model years when the system became available.

Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control

The more-basic cruise control in older vehicles helps maintain a steady cruising speed for a relaxing long-distance drive.

The more sophisticated adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional cruise control system by altering the vehicle’s speed to match the car ahead subject to the driver’s set speed, which is excellent for highway cruising and avoiding collisions.

Newer Jeeps have the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go system, adjusting the vehicle’s speed to maintain a pre-selected distance from the car ahead.

While Jeep makes among the most capable off-road SUVs with cruise control for on-road cruising, the following alternatives may work better if you want a truck instead:

Alternatively, some of these mainstream automakers also produce SUVs, although with comparatively moderate off-road capabilities:

Jeep SUVs with Adaptive Cruise Control

#1 Jeep Renegade

The Renegade is a subcompact and Jeep’s smallest SUV; it isn’t the cheapest, but it’s one of the most adventure-ready in the class.

Since its 2015 debut, the Jeep Renegade has had cruise control only in the upper trims.

The cruise control system became standard in the Jeep Renegade from 2019 and beyond, including the Trailhawk model.

#2 Jeep Compass

Although it’s still a subcompact SUV, the Compass is slightly larger than the Renegade.

Since 2021, Jeep Compass has had adaptive cruise control in the pricier trims and basic cruise control in the less expensive ones.

Jeep Compass models from 2011 to 2020 had standard cruise control, while older ones only had the system in the higher trim levels.

#3 Jeep Cherokee

This small SUV’s history has two halves, with 2014 seeing its return after over a decade of absence.

Newer Jeep Cherokees from 2022 onwards have had adaptive cruise control in the higher trims and conventional cruise control in the lower ones.

From 2014 to 2021, all Jeep Cherokee models had cruise control.

#4 Jeep Wrangler

This small SUV had earned a reputation as the most iconic off-road warrior with superior capability on rugged terrains.

Since 2021, the Jeep Wrangler has had adaptive cruise control in the Rubicon 392 and Unlimited Rubicon 392, depending on the model year; other trims had conventional cruise control, the Sport trim included.

Every Jeep Wrangler from 2011 to 2020 had standard cruise control, while models from 2007 to 2010 only had the system in the costlier trims.

#5 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The midsize two-row Jeep Grand Cherokee had adaptive cruise control in the upper trims from 2012 until 2022 when the system became standard.

Older Grand Cherokee models from 2001 to 2011 had standard cruise control.

#6 Jeep Wagoneer

Since Jeep introduced the full-size three-row Wagoneer in 2022, the SUV has had adaptive cruise control in its higher trims and basic cruise control in the lower ones.

#7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Unlike the regular Wagoneer, the more upscale Jeep Grand Wagoneer models have adaptive cruise control as a standard provision.

Jeep Truck with Adaptive Cruise Control

#8 Jeep Gladiator

The Jeep Gladiator is the only convertible pickup truck in the midsize class. It beat competitors such as the Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma – both have adaptive cruise control – with greater off-road prowess.

All Jeep Gladiator models have cruise control as standard.

Unfortunately, no Jeep Gladiator has the more-sophisticated adaptive cruise control system.
