SPOTTED: 2022 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Limited 4xe On Public Roads:​

New PHEV Grand Cherokee, Should Have 375 Horsepower Under The Hood...​


1625015435370.png

The Jeep® brand isn’t holding back when it comes to the launch of its new Grand Cherokee (WL) lineup. As the first batches of the first-ever three-row variant Grand Cherokee L (WL75) models arrive in dealers, Jeep engineers are currently hard at work and gearing up for the launch of the new two-row (WL74) model. Among the new additions to the lineup is a new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain that will be offered across most of the lineup in 2022.

The more of the two row I see, the more I like it. More in line with what a Jeep should be than the L. I believe they have a winner here. Anxious to see it without the camo.

Man I was going to drive my '14 Limited until the wheels fell off, but this is going to be awesome. Maybe with used car prices (and gas prices) on the rise I can convince the wife an upgrade is necessary....

I did the reverse. My 2019 Cherokee lease is up in August and the Grand Cherokee 2 row is months away, so I bought my Jeep off lease. I want the dust to clear and the line up to filter its way out so I will not be pressured on how I want to configure my GC. I have heard the straight six will be offered in the GC with E-torque and that appeals to me if true, just one of the reasons for my delay decision. I was twice offered $7,000 over buy out price for my Cherokee, so I figure its value will remain strong until I’m ready. Like you I see a great future for this new GC.

This report is saying 4xe will have the Tornado engine


I don't think the WL74 Tornado launch will happen before the Wagoneer Tornado + PHEV launch. For WL74, I expect PHEV + the 2.0 first, the PHEV + Tornado later (late calendar 2022/early 2023).

The rear drive based Jeep 4Xe is a high voltage hybrid system. The inline six will be introduced with a 48V mild hybrid setup. The Grand Cherokee PHEV will apparently be introduced with the same powertrain as the Wrangler. I don't know what the exact dates for the production starts of either the new inline six or the next generation ZF transmissions are. It could be we are looking at 2023 MY for either item, or a combination of both in a Jeep product.

Yeah, I keep getting messages from the local to dealer to buy mine from me, but this 2 row GC 4Xe is looking very interesting.

Considering my most recent large/bulky item move attempt with my KL vs my wife's Prius, and the KL only just beat the Prius, I will start looking for something with less of sloped rear design that compromises cargo entry :rolleyes:
