Here are the key features you can expect from this latest 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee update.
Off-Road Power, On-Road Refinement
The Grand Cherokee takes all the off-road expertise Jeep is famed for and wraps it in a comfortable, refined frame that’s perfectly at home cruising the highway. Built to a mid-size design seating up to five in spacious comfort, the Grand Cherokee is an SUV that perfectly blends family driving convenience with genuine off-road ability.
Power Under the Hood
All Grand Cherokee trims are based around a generously powered engine, with a standard 3.6L V6 model pushing out 293 horsepower and 260lb-ft of torque. For all Canadian models, the output is fed to all-wheel drive via a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering both responsive power and fine-tuned control.
But if you’re looking for even higher output, maybe to take full advantage of the Grand Cherokee’s off-road chops, then the available 5.7L HEMI V8 mill pushes the ponies up to 357 horsepower while twisting the torque to 390lb-ft. With this amount of output available, even the steepest rock-strewn gradients will hold no fear, while pavement journeys will pass with exceptional smoothness and poise.
Advanced All-Wheel Drive and Selec-Terrain
Every model in the 2022 Grand Cherokee lineup features advanced all-wheel drive, with two variants available to suit your main driving needs. The standard Quadra-Trac I system delivers assured handling in all weathers, automatically reacting to changes in conditions to maximize traction and control.
But if you’re planning to venture off-road, the Quadra-Trac II system monitors each wheel for grip level and distributes the engine’s power across all four corners to prevent wheelspin and keep you moving. This version of all-wheel drive also includes the Selec-Terrain system, with driving modes tailored to common conditions including Snow, Mud, or Rock, along with Auto and Sport modes to optimize performance in more regular driving.
Infotainment and Technology
The Grand Cherokee’s upscale cabin is equipped with an impressive amount of technology. The infotainment is powered by the next-generation Uconnect 5 software for a slick user experience, with a choice of 8.4″ or 10.1″ touchscreen displays making control easier than ever. And if that generous screen size isn’t enough, there’s also an optional 10″ display dedicated to the front passenger, allowing a safe and easy split between entertainment, navigation, and essential driving functions.
The Latest Active Safety and Driver Assist Technology
And lastly, the Grand Cherokee upholds the Jeep tradition of supplying advanced safety technology, helping the driver keep full control and explore with confidence. Key standard and available highlights include:
Active Driving Assist which combines automatic distance control with lane centering.
A 360-degree camera for excellent all-round visibility.
Advanced Night Vision using thermal sensing to spot pedestrians or animals up to 100m ahead.
Traffic sign recognition to identify speed limits, school zones, crosswalks, and more.
Putting all these features together, it’s no surprise that the Grand Cherokee is consistently a best seller in the Jeep lineup, and the 2022 model release looks certain to maintain its success.
