Meet The 2022 Jeep® Grand Cherokee (WL74) Lineup!
Here Is The Entire Lineup Of Two-Row Grand Cherokee Offerings...
Earlier today, the Jeep® brand introduced the two-row variant of its all-new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WL74). It has been nearly three decades since Jeep unveiled the original Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ). The nameplate has gone on to become the most awarded SUV in history. Following four groundbreaking generations of the vehicle, countless industry accolades, and more than 7 million in global sales.
The fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee (WL) features all-new architecture, new plug-in hybrid powertrain, all-new exterior design, an all-new interior with world-class craftsmanship, and first-to-market technologies to the global full-size SUV E-segment.
While we covered the all-new Grand Cherokee 4xe powertrain earlier today, the electrified 4xe models won’t be available at launch. Instead, the North American market will start to see the 4xe models arrive sometime during the first part of 2022. So for this article, we are going to focus on everything you need to know about the standard internal combustion engine (ICE) models.
