According to Thule, the Passage Bike Rack # TH910XT will indeed fit your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee as long as it does not have a spoiler.

Before installing a trunk mounted bike rack, you should ensure that the contact surfaces between the vehicle and the rack are perfectly clean and free of grit to lessen the possibility of scratching the vehicle finish.

Another option would be a hitch mounted rack like the Thule Camber, part # TH9058. Installing a hitch like part # 75699 would not only provide an attachment point for a bike rack that would prevent the rack from being in contact with any painted surfaces of the vehicle, but you would also have the flexibility of using a cargo carrier or being able to tow a trailer in the future if need be.

To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

I have linked you to the products I recommended. I have also provided links to install details and some install and product demonstration videos that you might find helpful.
