The Jeep Grand Cherokee Tops 30 Years

Jeep’s Grand Cherokee has been blazing trails, literally and proverbially, since it helped to create our modern-day SUV craze with its 1993 debut.  The new Grand Cherokee is a beautiful 293-horsepower marvel. Right now Jeep is pushing a number of incentives to move models of the Grand Cherokee amidst faltering sales for parent-company Stellantis. You just might be able to get an amazing price on a brand new SUV.

Classily redesigned for the 2022 model year, the Jeep Grand Cherokee kisses its dowdy WK-predecessor goodbye, and gives its larger Grand Wagoneer big brother a run for its money.  From its shining, bright chrome grille to its legitimate offroad chops, the Grand Cherokee is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs in America, regularly topping the top-10 best selling vehicles list.

The Grand Cherokee comes in two-row, three-row, as well as a new electrified version.  The entry level Laredo A starts at $36,495 msrp in 4×2, two-row only.  Standard features include adaptive cruise, active lane management, automatic emergency breaking, 26 MPG highway, LED headlamps and tailamps, a 10.25 inch digital infotainment unit, and Apple Carplay / Android Auto wireless. 

Power comes from a respectable 293-hp 3.6 Liter V-6 motor for gas models.  The electric model has a combined 365 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, combined with its gas 2.0 liter four cylinder motor.  Various all wheel drive packages are available. An optional 357 hp V8 borrowed from its Wagoneer big brother is available on higher-level Grand Cherokee trims.

The three row Grand Cherokee L is a foot longer than the two row Cherokee, and has a longer wheelbase; if you don’t need three rows of seats, you may prefer the smaller and more nimble two-row model.  Jeep’s limited package offers a cornucopia of desirable features, including leather seats, power liftgate, heated front and rear seats, and remote start.  Trailhawk is Jeep’s legitimate off road package with up to 11.3 seconds of ground clearance and a locking limited-slip diff.
