2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review

 


Overview

When you close your eyes and think of a Jeep, it's likely that the rough-and-tumble Wrangler comes to mind, but the Grand Cherokee is every bit as important to the success of the famed off-road brand in terms of sales. Its appeal is bolstered by the fact that it pairs impressive off-road capability with on-road refinement; offers lots of available luxury appointments and features; and has the rugged, outdoorsy look Jeep buyers love. For the 2021 model year, Jeep launched a new generation of the Grand Cherokee but offered the new model only as a three-row variant alongside the previous-generation two-row GC. For the 2022 model year, the Grand Cherokee sheds the old-gen model with the introduction of a two-row body style riding atop the new architecture.

What's New for 2022?

The two-row Grand Cherokee transitions to the modernized design of the three-row L variant that launched for 2021.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

    Pricing and options haven't been released, so I 'am estimating prices here based on what limited information Jeep has revealed so far. The Limited models represent the best mix of features for the price and upgrade the base Laredo with enough equipment to satisfy luxury buyers. All Limited models come standard with leather upholstery, a power-operated rear liftgate, heated front and rear seats, interior ambient lighting, and much more.


    Engine, Transmission, and Performance

    Like the last generation Grand Cherokee, the new one is powered by either a 3.6-liter V-6 or a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine. Jeep is also preparing to drop its plug-in hybrid 4Xe power-train into the Grand Cherokee to offer electrification for the first time in its family SUV. Rear-wheel drive will likely continue to be offered as standard, but this being a Jeep, several different all-wheel drive systems are optional. A Trailhawk model with more-robust off-road equipment and rough-country capability is all but a certainty, although Jeep has not mentioned such a variant just yet. On the performance end of the spectrum, I expect Jeep to continue to offer high-performance SRT and Trackhawk models.

    Fuel Economy

    Fuel economy estimates haven't been released for the new Grand Cherokee yet, but not much is expected to change. The current Grand Cherokee is rated as high as 26 mpg highway for rear-wheel drive V-6 models and as low as 14 mpg city for the all-wheel drive V-8 model. The plug-in hybrid 4Xe should deliver better fuel economy. For more information about the Grand Cherokee's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

    Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

    A thoroughly modernized cabin steps in to replace the Grand Cherokee's  interior. While base Laredo models will likely offer the essentials, upscale Summit and Overland trims will add luxuries like quilted leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, and high-tech digital displays. The three-row variant has space for up to seven via an optional second-row bench seat; a pair of captain's chairs is standard and results in space for six riders.


    Infotainment and Connectivity

    A 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen floats just above the surface of the Grand Cherokee's dashboard and offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio as standard. In-dash navigation with real-time traffic and weather updates is an optional feature and higher-end models can be had with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the Laredo and Limited models ship with a standard six-speaker stereo, buyers can choose to upgrade to either a nine-speaker Alpine audio setup or a high-end 19-speaker McIntosh arrangement.

    Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

    Driver-assistance features such as pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and semi-autonomous driving modes are becoming increasingly important to shoppers, and Jeep is delivering a more comprehensive suite of standard safety tech to satisfy that demand. For more information about the Grand Cherokee's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

    •  Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
    •  Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
    •  Standard adaptive cruise control

      Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

      One of the few things that won't change with the 2022 Grand Cherokee will be its standard warranty package. Rivals such as the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Santa Fe both offer longer terms here, but the Jeep's warranty lines up with most other rivals, including the Chevrolet Blazer and the Ford Edge.

      •  Limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles
      •  Power-train warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles
      •  Three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance is included.

      This Is The Information So Far, The Real Info. Might Be Different.

      2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Review

      Image
      This is the most expensive 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe you can build. Information:  Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Tahoe has been powered by a V-8 for its entire life, and that continues for the latest generation. However, its standard 355-hp 5.3-liter and available 420-hp 6.2-liter blocks are now joined by a diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. While it has the least horsepower of the three, its 460 lb-ft of torque matches that of the bigger V-8. Every 2021 Tahoe is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The off-road-oriented Z71 model gets a two-speed transfer case that provides traditional four-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels wrapped with all-terrain tires, and underbody protection. It's also available with adaptive dampers that are standard on the upper-echelon Premier and High Country. The latter and the RST model both ride on glitzy 22-inch rims for added curb appeal. An adjustable air suspension is another option that allows

      2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Review

      Image
      Overview With its diminutive size and nimble demeanor, the GLA-class feels more like a hatchback than many of its crossover competitors. As the smallest and cheapest of Mercedes-Benz's SUVs, its interior is neither as luxurious nor as spacious as you might expect for a vehicle with the prestigious three-pointed-star badge. Plenty of high-end technology features are on offer, but the GLA has gone a while without updates. That means it's less appealing than the newer A-class sedan, which boasts a more attractive design inside and out. A new, fully modernized version of the GLA-class should arrive sometime within the next year. What's New for 2020? We think that the 2020 model year will be the last for the current-generation GLA before a new model arrives for 2021. As such, Mercedes-Benz did not make any changes for the 2020 model year. Pricing and Which One to Buy  GLA250: $35,245  GLA250 4Matic: $37,245 The base GLA250 comes with front-wheel drive, while the 4Matic comes wit

      2020 Volvo XC90 Review

      Image
        Overview Credited with kick-starting Volvo's design renaissance when it appeared for the 2016 model year, the 2020 XC90 remains one of the most stylish options among luxury SUVs. It's powered by one of three different four-cylinder power-trains, including a plug-in hybrid, and can be had in six- or seven-passenger configurations. Inside, buyers will find a cabin that epitomizes Scandinavian luxury, highlighted by fine materials such as nappa leather, real wood trim, and tasteful chrome accents. A vertically oriented infotainment touchscreen provides controls for the majority of the XC90's systems and settings, and a driver-facing 12.3-inch screen serves as a digital gauge cluster. As with all Volvos, the 2020 XC90 is focused on safety as much as it is on luxury, and a host of driver-assistance features are standard across the board. What's New for 2020? The XC90 receives a visual freshening for 2020 by way of a new grille and front bumper; Volvo also has restyled the
