Screens are becoming pretty important among new cars these days. They add pizzazz to the interior of automobiles and while sometimes can imbue danger, they add to the overall value of cars.

Such is the case with the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The two-row that arrived a few months ago offers the option to have another screen for the front passenger, which is exclusive for the most expensive Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve.

The said passenger screen will be available on the 2022 Grand Cherokee L as well, but a rumor from Mopar Insiders is telling us that it will become optional to other trim levels.

According to Mopar Insiders, the front passenger screen will become optional for 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited, Overland, and Summit models. It will carry the RJA option code and is said to be priced at $1,095. However, that doesn"t seem to be the case as of date.

Of note, we checked Jeep"s 2022 configurator but the front passenger screen is only available for the Summit Reserve of both two- and three-row Cherokees. No option has been added for the said Limited, Overland, and Summit models at the time of this writing.

The front passenger screen measures 10.25 inches and has four main techie functions. It can serve as a "Co-Pilot" for navigation and device management, for entertainment (via HDMI), Amazon"s Fire TV for Auto, and as a display for the exterior cameras. The HDMI plug allows smartphone mirroring and other UConnect 5 system functions.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L marks the model"s second year on the market, and Jeep has upgrades for it. The most substantial change starts with the added option of a 10.25-inch screen for the front passenger, a feature making its way downstream from the Grand Wagoneer lineup. The display is available as a $1,095 option on Limited, Overland and Summit trims, and it"s standard on the Summit Reserve. Used on its own, it can perform what Jeep calls Co-Pilot functions such as navigation and device management, views from the exterior cameras, and controls for the rear seat screens. Or, when a mobile device is plugged in to the HDMI port, it can mirror the mobile device"s screen and play device content.

The new Grand Cherokee L also offers Amazon Fire TV for Auto on dual 10.1-inch screens on the front seat backrests for Limited, Overland and Summit models. The Alexa voice remote can call up content from Amazon Prime Video using the SUV"s remote hotspot, or can retrieve media from the included 16-gigabyte storage drive that reserves 9 gigabytes for rear screen use. Rear passengers can access games, music and device mirroring, too. A physical remote will have a button that ties the Fire TV system into vehicle controls for the HVAC and maps, among others.

The other model year updates are all about the looks. The exterior color palette expands with new trim-dependent hues: Ember and Midnight Sky, which can both be had on the Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve; and Hydro Blue for the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims.

Two new dark-themed appearance packages are available, too. The Limited Black package for the Limited trim lifts content from the lower-trim Altitude, adopting LED fog lights and 20-inch gloss black wheels outside, while the interior benefits from Capri leather seats with more power controls. With four-wheel-drive, the package adds the Selec-Terrain system with five terrain modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand. The High Altitude package for the Summit trim will wear a unique seven-slot grille, gloss black exterior accents and badges, roof rails, and sit on 21-inch gloss black wheels.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is available to order at dealerships now. However, some of the new features will be late availability, and Jeep hasn"t released updated pricing. The 2021 Grand Cherokee L starts at $40,670 after destination, said price including the Luxury Tech Group that Jeep automatically includes in the configurator.

The fifth-generation Jeep® Grand Cherokee (WL74) was introduced last year to much success. The all-new model has a lot riding on it, considering the previous model was the most award-winning SUV ever. Despite an all-new vehicle, the Grand Cherokee has also spawned two other variants which include the three-row Grand Cherokee L (WL75) and the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Grand Cherokee 4xe.

While the Grand Cherokee does offer plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology with the Grand Cherokee 4xe, this article will focus on the non-electrified internal combustion engine (ICE) model.

The biggest news is the addition of thepopular 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system with navigation as standard equipment on Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve models. The Uconnect 5 system delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous Uconnect 4C unit. By using an Android operating system and over-the-air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 brings flexibility that will allow the system to continuously evolve to offer new content, features, and services. Both Laredo and Altitude models are only equipped with the 8.4-inch version.

The popular Grand Cherokee Trailhawk model has now been discontinued on the ICE model and is exclusively offered on the Grand Cherokee 4xe. You can read more about that by CLICKING HERE.

The two other changes for 2023, are for those audiophiles out there. Jeep is now offering its 9-speaker Alpine premium audio system as a standalone option on Limited models. The Alpine system includes a subwoofer and 506-watt amplifier with active noise control. For those looking for the optimum audio performance, the 19-speaker McIntosh® MX950 Entertainment System is now a standalone option for Overland and Summit models. The MX950 system includes a 17-channel amplifier delivering up to 950-watts of power, 19 custom-designed speakers, and a 10-inch subwoofer.

The Grand Cherokee Laredo features the award-winning Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 10.1-inch digital gauge cluster and an 8.4-inch high-definition touchscreen. The system offers a customizable, one-touch home screen, five user profiles, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. To enhance connectivity, the Grand Cherokee delivers USB Type-A and new Type-C ports for both rows. Type-C ports allow devices to charge up to four times faster.

Laredo comes equipped with ample standard safety and security features, including Full-speed Collision Warning with active brake and pedestrian/cyclist detection, Rear Cross Path detection, adaptive cruise control, active lane management, lane departure warning, advanced brake assist, Blind-spot Monitoring, rear park assist sensors and more. Additional standard safety features include passive entry, automatic headlamps, daytime running LED reflector headlamps, and LED taillamps.

Laredo is powered by the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 257 lb.-ft. of torque paired with the standard TorqueFlite 8-speed transmission. It also features standard 18-inch aluminum wheels, heated fold-away mirrors with a heating element and blind spot indicator, roof rails, cloth seats with power eight-way driver and manual front-passenger with driver lumbar adjuster, automatic dual-zone automatic temperature controls, all-new leather-wrapped heated steering wheel with audio control and paddle shifters, and integrated voice command with Bluetooth.

The Limited model builds on Laredo’s upscale design and modern amenities while taking capability and comfort to the next level. Limited 4×4 models come standard with the class-leading Selec-Terrain traction management system, which offers 5 available terrain modes (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, Mud/Sand) to provide optimized calibrations for any given driving scenario.

The Limited model’s sophisticated interior features standard Capri leather seats and several premium convenience features, including a power 8-way driver seat with memory and a power 4-way driver/front-passenger lumbar adjuster with memory and a heated steering wheel.

Heated seats in the first two rows with three-level configurable controls for personalized passenger comfort are standard on Limited, Overland and Summit models. The Limited model also features a 6-speaker sound system with active noise cancellation and single-color ambient interior lighting for the instrument panel and front and rear doors.

Standard exterior features include automatic high-beam headlamps, new premium LED fog lamps, power Gloss Black mirrors with a heating element, blind-spot indicator, memory, and supplemental turn signals.

Built for both on- and off-road adventures, the Grand Cherokee Overland model has a starting U.S. MSRP of $56,305 for the 4×2 Pentastar V6 model. Starting U.S. MSRP for a 4×4 Overland model with the Pentastar V6 is $58,305. When equipped with the optional 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine that delivers 357 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque and a class-leading towing capacity of up to 7,200 lbs., and adds an additional $3,995 to the Overland 4×4’s price.

The Overland 4×4 model adds Jeep’s Quadra-Trac II system, which adjusts torque distribution and will continue to reactively make corrections if tire slip occurs. When wheel slippage is detected, as much as 100% of available torque is instantly routed to the axle with the most traction.

Premium interior comfort and convenient amenities are prominent with Overland models. Enhancements include Nappa leather seats and door panels, ventilated front seats, leather-stitched instrument panel, Uconnect 5 system with navigation, and a premium Alpine audio system with 9 speakers, a subwoofer and a 506-watt amplifier. Also standard is the ambient lighting with a 5-color selection that casts an inviting glow along the entire instrument panel, as well as the front and rear doors for a personalized sensory experience.

Standard exterior upgrades for Overland include 20-inch aluminum wheels with Black Noise pockets, a new, unique Overland appearance, chrome front tow hooks, Gloss Black roof rack with Bright Stainless insert, rain-sensing windshield wipers, trailer towing, approach-lit door handles, rearview mirror puddle lighting, power-folding multifunctional Gloss Black mirrors with Bright Chrome insert, auto-tilt down in reverse, auto-dimming glass on driver’s side and courtesy lighting, windshield wiper deicer and passive entry. A Gloss Black roof is available for the first time on Overland models.

Length-adjustable cushions for the front row are introduced on Overland models. A power-folding third-row bench seat is also standard. Overland also features a new electronic remote release in the rear cargo area to quickly and effortlessly fold the second-row flat.

Other unique features standard on Overland include a hands-free, foot-activated adjustable power liftgate and CommandView dual-pane sunroof with a power sunshade.

For customers seeking the peak of capability and luxury in an SUV, with premium materials and class-exclusive features, the state-of-the-art Grand Cherokee L Summit starts at a U.S. MSRP of $60,070 for 4×2 and $62,070 for 4×4 models.

The Summit is packed with premium appointments, such as Nappa leather seats with quilted seat bolsters and perforated seat inserts on all three rows, Absolute Oak wood and leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel, and Berber floor mats. First-row seats with new power 16-way adjustable position with memory and lumbar are standard on Summit. Also offered on Grand Cherokee Summit is front-row seat massage that includes 5 customizable profiles with 3 levels of pressure intensity.

Passenger comfort is elevated in Summit models with 4-zone automatic temperature control, which has the capability to select different fan levels and modes for individual passengers in the first and second rows. The system also offers 4 different temperature settings. Additional interior touches unique to the Summit model include a new, second-row floor console with 2 illuminated cup holders and a two-tier armrest with additional storage for mobile devices.

Exterior touches include 20-inch polished cast-aluminum wheels in Mid-Gloss Clear, unique Summit-specific LED fog lamps, power-folding multifunction Gloss Black mirrors with a Platinum insert and new 360-degree camera, illuminated door sills and a roof rack with Fine Silver rails and Gloss Black insert.

The Summit Reserve Package sets the benchmark for luxury in the full-size SUV segment. Premium hand-wrapped, quilted Palermo leather, ventilated front and second-row seats, memory and massage front seats and choice of a new Tupelo interior color add distinguishable details to the model.

Also unique to the Summit Reserve Package is genuine open-pore Waxed Walnut wood and premium, wrapped, suede-like fabric on the A-pillars and headliner. Summit Reserve models also have 21-inch wheels that come standard. Also standard is superior audio delivered through the 950-watt, 19-speaker McIntosh audio sound system.

For those who hate chrome and prefer a more sinister-looking for their Grand Cherokee, there are three dark packages available for the 2023 model year.

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitudeis based on the entry-level Laredo model and adds distinct Black Gloss appearance details, including 20-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, Gloss Black exterior accents, badging, roof rails, and a unique seven-slot grille. Other functional features include remote start, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, wireless charging pad, adjustable height liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, a 115-volt power outlet, and third-row USB ports.

For those looking for more luxury, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Black is the sweet spot in the Grand Cherokee L lineup. Adding the same Gloss Black accents from the Altitude to the Limited models, the Limited Black gives customers premium features like LED fog lamps, Capri leather seats, 8-way power driver seat with memory, 4-way driver/front-passenger lumbar adjuster with memory, and Selec-Terrain traction management system, which offers five available terrain modes (Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, Mud/Sand) on 4×4 models.

For those looking for the most premium entry in comfort and in technology, look no further than the High Altitude model. Those who choose a Summit or Summit Reserve model can opt for 21-inch Gloss Black painted wheels and the rest of the other dark packages accents.

While the Trailhawk model is exclusively for the two-row Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in (PHEV) in 2023, the Grand Cherokee does offer a Trail-Rated option once again for 2023. The Overland Off-Road Package includes skid plates for the fuel tank, transfer case, underbody, and front suspension, electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) rear axle, 18-in. polished aluminum wheels, all-season tires, and Trail Rated badge.

Standard is the all-aluminum 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, rated at 293 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Lauded for its power and refinement, the 60-degree angle between the Pentastar V6’s cylinder banks makes it inherently smooth running, augmented by accessories that bolt directly to the engine block. A 7-time winner of the Wards 10-Best Engines and Propulsion Systems award, the Pentastar V6 engine is compact, with features such as exhaust manifolds integrated into the cylinder heads.

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine is rated for a towing capacity of up to 6,200 lbs. and an estimated class-leading driving range of nearly 500 miles.

Customers who want more power can opt for the award-winning 5.7-liter HEMI V8, rated at 357 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque delivered over a broad power band.

The HEMI has a cast-iron block and aluminum cylinder heads, delivering performance and efficiency with VVT and Fuel Saver Technology (cylinder deactivation). With Fuel Saver Technology, the engine control computer turns off fuel and spark and closes the valves to four of the engine’s cylinders during light-load operation, such as highway cruising, when full power is not needed. The system immediately re-engages the deactivated cylinders when the driver presses on the accelerator pedal.

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available in 9 different exterior colors. Those colors include Baltic Grey, Bright White, Diamond Black, Ember, Hydro Blue, Midnight Sky, Rocky Mountain, Silver Zynith, and Velvet Red.

Something is afoot at Jeep. The American brand best known for dragging the antiquated Wrangler into the modern era is embarking on a new mission: Toeing the luxury line against the likes of Lincoln, Range Rover, and Lexus.

This process began with the Grand Cherokee L, a shapely three-row with room for growing families. Then came the heavy artillery, in the form of the Grand Wagoneer andWagoneer siblings—all-new, body-on-frame brutes whose prices can easily blow past six figures, and whose knockout interiors cosset inhabitants.

Today, we have the third salvo: the two-row Grand Cherokee. Unveiled last fall, the all-new, fifth-generation G.C. employs a multi-pronged approach in spec, to appeal to vastly different customers. Jeep’s line of hybrid 4xe powertrains are on offer and should help lure eco-conscious consumers. Grand Cherokee Trailhawk models look ready to charge off-piste but bring none of the Wrangler’s live-axle quirks. It’s the third prong, however, that high-end luxury play, that might just be the most important. Today’s Grand Cherokee faces a far more daunting barrier than the Cobo Hall window pulverized by its forefather: This one has to shatter the expectations of buyers who might raise eyebrows at a $70,000 Jeep that brings no military roots and no seating for seven.

Our test rig for this review was a 2022 Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4×4. With an as-tested price of $69,395, this trim is basically maximum Grand Cherokee. Options present represented almost every box worth ticking, including premium Palermo leather (exclusive to Summit Reserve models), the nifty 10.25-inch passenger screen, a kickin’ 19-speaker McIntosh audio system, and more. The Advanced Technology Group ($1995) also scored our tester a head-up display and a night-vision camera that can recognize pedestrians and animals, plus an auto-dimming rear-view mirror that can display a camera feed of what’s behind you.

This is a more upright and broadly stanced machine than the outgoing, fourth-gen Grand Cherokee. While the new Jeep’s body is no wider, the 1.6 inches of added track and more rectangular form imply a girthier machine, thicker in the neck. Relative to its new three-row counterpart, which rides on the same platform (WL74 for the two-row Grand Cherokee, WL75 on the L), the smaller rig is down five inches between the wheels and more than 11 inches overall. The exterior evokes whiffs of Range Rover Sport, almost certainly an intentional move. The two-tone coloration comes across as faddish, but a black roof is mandatory here. The only way to get a monotone Grand Cherokee is to spec exterior paint in black.

Stellantis has been on a tear with interiors lately—revamps galore and huge bumps in quality. Gone are the bulbous surfaces and chintzy controls that put a damper on high-dollar versions of the last Grand Cherokee. In their place are forms and materials that walk the 70-large talk. The whole package feels tight and clean, with main features in easy reach and pleasing to the eye. Some controls lack the rock-solid feel of the same bits in, say, a Lexus, but you’re still working with physical buttons, not some glitch-prone, multi-screen affair. (Range Rover, we’re looking at you here.)

If you’re more than six feet tall, you might find the Jeep’s second row a bit crowded—but with a vehicle like this, that’s an outlier case. Five seats and four doors in a truck like this imply adult use of the second row, but statistically speaking, expensive SUV trims more often find the driveways of small families and well-off empty nesters. (Naturally, Jeep hopes larger families looking for clan-toting will be more likely to turn to the three-row.) Practical interior complaints are limited to the lack of second-row fold handles in the cargo area; if you’re loading the trunk but want the extra cargo space, you have to walk to a rear door and use the seat-mounted levers to fold the rear bench. This is a small detail, but luxury SUVs are all about convenience, and it feels like a miss.

Setting aside the turbo four and electric motors of the Grand Cherokee 4xe—we’ll review that vehicle soon—the nonhybrid G.C. gets one of two drivetrains: Jeep’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, an old stalwart good for 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, or a 357-horse, 390 lb-ft Hemi V-8. The Pentastar is standard, the Hemi a $3795 option. Both engines come paired to a ZF eight-speed automatic, with trim level determining which of Jeep’s three 4×4 systems you get.

Our tester had the Pentastar but needed the Hemi. The six gets the Jeep’s 4700-pound mass moving and produces plenty of pace, but it’s not a pleasant experience. Much of a luxury vehicle’s appeal lies in how it can make ordinary tasks seem effortless, and that thrashing V-6 comes off like a pep band in a cathedral. The Hemi—or better yet, the recently announced twin-turbo Hurricane straight-six—would go a long way toward making ordinary commutes feel as regal as the Grand Cherokee’s interior. (Stellantis will neither confirm nor deny that the Hurricane is coming to this model, but since the factory says the new engine can fit in place of any of the company’s longitudinally mounted V-6s, the add seems likely.)

The rest of the driving experience is well-sorted—occasionally even surprising. Summit Reserve models wear gorgeous 21-inch aluminum wheels and 275-section tires. That’s as much rubber as you get on a new Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which has more than double the Jeep’s power. Why that much tire is needed here, we don’t know. What we do know is that there’s remarkable corner grip, far more than most owners will seek out. And despite relatively shallow sidewalls, the Jeep soaks up pockmarked pavement remarkably well. Credit the truck’s Quadralift air suspension and semi-active dampers.

Those stout driving dynamics will likely be lost on most owners, who will be too busy enjoying this model’s tech features. Some are more useful than others. That dash-mounted passenger display screen seems like hard novelty, but it at least has a privacy cover to minimize driver distraction. (I thought my wife was poking at a screen that wasn’t on until I leaned over and saw it from her view.) Our tester also had second-row displays, part of the $1995 rear-seat entertainment package—a nice addition, but you’d be smarter to skip them and put the savings toward a Hemi. Stellantis’ UConnect is still one of the best infotainment systems in the business. The McIntosh sound system is a notable step up from the Alpine outfit offered in lesser Grand Cherokee trims, with clarity and depth befitting a luxury car.

With this latest Grand Cherokee, Jeep is asking a lot of its best-selling nameplate. History suggests Trailhawk versions will tackle dirt with ease; if the sales success of the Wrangler 4xe is any guide, a hybridized G.C. should be a popular choice. The luxury tack is the biggest question mark, and the greatest risk.

Is this machine a better idea than a comparably priced Range Rover Sport? Yes, provided you pick that Hemi. The main traits of a ritzy offering are all present. The design, driving experience, interior materials, and tech all stack up. And if that Hurricane six is indeed headed for the Grand Cherokee’s engine bay, we might be gifted a legit competitor to the BMW X5.

Can you picture one of these nestled into a country-club parking lot between Porsches and Bentleys? Hasn’t the Grand Cherokee always fit there, anyway? Someone from Jeep must have noticed that and decided to chase the untapped potential.

In 1993, it was a glass window. Almost 30 years later, Jeep has aimed its volume player at the glass ceiling under the luxury market. By the looks of things, it’s ready to break through.

Base price/as-tested: $66,575 / $71,080 (NB: Our test car was an early-production vehicle equipped with the “Reserve Group” package. As of this writing, the Summit Reserve is now its own trim, hence the price discrepancy between this build and the current configurator. Additionally, Jeep’s website does not list the rear seat entertainment package as an option. A company spokesperson informs us that this is because a chip shortage has made the package temporarily unavailable.)

Highs: Feel like a genuine step up for the brand, inside and out. Arguably the most well-rounded Jeep on offer. And while no trail-ready SUV needs to corner this well, who’s arguing?

Lows: Summit Reserve trim desperately needs a powertrain as refined as the rest of the package. (Come, oh Hurricane straight-six, and deliver us!) The few missing convenience features seem small right until you need them.

The 2023 Grand Cherokee is a multifaceted SUV situated at the intersection of machismo and elegance. While the base model Grand continues to offer a package that"s altogether mainstream—meaning, not very fancy—the midrange and high-end trims are packed with luxury features and upscale materials that make it a clear upmarket player. Despite this upward mobility, the Grand Cherokee retains its trail-busting off-road capability—it is a Jeep, after all. Three different powertrains are offered, including V-6 and V-8 engines and a plug-in-hybrid system called 4xe. The Grand Cherokee is a two-row SUV. It"s as happy with suburban family life as it is trudging through the woods, and it offers plenty space for passengers and cargo inside its roomy cabin. But if your family includes more than a couple of kids, you may find the three-row Grand Cherokee L (reviewed separately) more accommodating.

Following a full redesign for the 2022 model year, the 2023 Grand Cherokee sees few changes. Chief among them is that the off-road-focused Trailhawk model is now offered exclusively with Jeep"s 4xe plug-in-hybrid powertrain. Midrange Limited and Overland trims now come standard with a 10.1-inch infotainment display with navigation. The nine-speaker Alpine stereo system is now available as a stand-alone option on the Limited, while the Overland and Summit models can be ordered with a 19-speaker McIntosh stereo.

The Grand Cherokee starts thousands higher than rivals such as the Kia Tellurideand the Hyundai Palisade—consider it the Jeep-brand tax—and its higher trims are priced similarly to some luxury SUVs. That being said, we think the Limited model represents the best mix of features, besting the base Laredo with more equipment to satisfy luxury buyers. The Limited comes standard with leather upholstery, a power-operated rear liftgate, heated front and rear seats, power-adjustable front seats, interior ambient lighting, automatic high-beam headlamps, remote start, and more. We"d spring for the Lux Tech Group II package, which adds rain-sensing windshield wipers, a wireless phone charger, perforated leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, a digital rearview mirror, second-row sun shades, a 360-degree exterior camera system, front and rear parking sensors, and a collision-avoidance feature that helps when traveling through intersections.

Like the last-generation Grand Cherokee, the new one is powered by either a 293-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 or a 357-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8. Jeep also offers its plug-in-hybrid 4xe powertrain,which consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four and an electric traction motor delivering a combined 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid"s motor is juiced by a 14.0-kWh battery pack. Rear-wheel drive is standard with the base V-6, but all-wheel drive is standard on Grand Cherokees with the V-8 or plug-in-hybrid powertrain. Several different all-wheel-drive systems are available, including an electronically locking limited-slip differential. A Trailhawk model with more robust off-road equipment and greater capability features an adjustable air suspension that provides up to 11.3 inches of ground clearance and a disconnecting sway bar that allows greater wheel articulation for tackling difficult terrain. During our initial test drive, we were impressed with the Grand Cherokee"s composed, smooth ride and found both the V-6 and V-8 engines to be plenty perky. At our test track, our V-6–powered Summit test vehicle managed a respectable 7.4-second run to 60 mph.

Fuel economy estimates for the V-6–powered Grand Cherokee are typical of the mid-size-SUV segment at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway when paired with rear-wheel drive. Adding all-wheel drive drops each of those estimates by 1 mpg; the V-8 model is rated for 14 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. The plug-in-hybrid 4xe delivers better fuel economy and is rated for 23 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. It comes with a 14.0-kWh battery pack and a 134-hp electric motor that allows the Grand Cherokee to cruise for up to 26 miles per charge. Jeep boasts that the Grand Cherokee with the 4xe powertrain completed the famed Rubicon Trail entirely in its EV driving mode. For more information about the Grand Cherokee"s fuel economy, visit the EPA"s website.

A thoroughly modernized cabin replaces the outgoing Grand Cherokee"s somewhat dated interior. While base Laredo models offer the essentials, upscale Summit and Overland trims will add luxuries including quilted leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, and high-tech digital displays. The Grand Cherokee is strictly a two-row SUV, but buyers seeking a third row can upgrade to the Grand Cherokee L, which we review separately. We haven"t had a chance to test the new Grand Cherokee yet, but we expect it to accommodate more of our carry-on suitcases than the previous generation model.

Floating just above the surface of the Grand Cherokee"s dashboard is either an 8.4- or 10.1-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. In-dash navigation with real-time traffic and weather updates is optional, and higher-end models can be had with a digital gauge cluster, a 10.0-inch head-up display, and another 10.3-inch display embedded into the dashboard for use by the front-seat passenger. While the Laredo and Limited models ship with a standard six-speaker stereo, buyers can upgrade to either a nine-speaker Alpine audio setup or a high-end 19-speaker McIntosh arrangement.

Driver-assistance features such as pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and semi-autonomous driving modes are becoming increasingly important to shoppers, and Jeep is delivering a more comprehensive suite of standard safety tech to satisfy that demand. For more information about the Grand Cherokee"s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection

Although the Grand Cherokee has moved toward the premium end of the market, its standard warranty package has remained basic. Rivals such as the Telluride and the Hyundai Santa Fe both offer longer terms here, but the Jeep"s warranty lines up with most other mainstream rivals, including the Chevrolet Blazer and the Ford Edge.Limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles
