NEXT STAGE: Redesign in 2021

The retooled 2022 Grand Cherokee adopts the architecture, styling and technology that Jeep introduced this year on the 2021 Grand Cherokee L, which has three rows of seating. The two-row version is about 11 inches shorter than the L and about 4 inches longer than the fourth-generation Grand Cherokee. A carryover 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine is standard, or buyers of some 4x4 trims can choose a 5.7-liter V-8. Jeep's second plug-in hybrid, the Grand Cherokee 4xe, will offer 25 miles of electric range, a 6,000-pound tow rating and a Trailhawk version powerful enough to conquer the Rubicon Trail in battery-only mode. The 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe is scheduled to reach North American dealerships in early 2022, following the arrival this fall of the two-row Grand Cherokee.
