Does the Jeep Grand Cherokee qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Jeep Grand Cherokee qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
Jeep builds the Grand Cherokee at its Detroit-area plants in Michigan, so this SUV clears the OBBBA final-assembly test. A new Grand Cherokee financed for personal use with income under the phase-out can produce deductible loan interest. Assembly is just one gate — check the others too.
Where the Jeep Grand Cherokee is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Jefferson North Assembly | Detroit, MI | ✓ United States |
| Mack Assembly Complex | Detroit, MI | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Jeep Grand Cherokee made?
US Grand Cherokees are assembled at Jeep's Detroit-area plants in Michigan — a US final-assembly point that satisfies the assembly test.
Does the Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid qualify?
Yes. The 4xe is built on the same Michigan line, so it meets the assembly test — your loan, personal use, and income still have to check out.
Is the two-row Grand Cherokee built in the same place as the three-row L?
Yes, both the standard Grand Cherokee and the longer three-row L are built in the Detroit area, so both are US-assembled.
