I"m plagued by the 2018 Grand Cherokee Uconnect radio issues and was looking for a solution and thought I had found it. To start off with the screen shipped fast and looks great. I really wanted this unit because I wanted the factory a/c controls available as a backup i case the touch screen controls failed. Since there were no or very little instructions, it was trial and error to separate the a/c controls from the factory bezel. Reinstallation wasn"t as bad, but made me nervous. The rest of the installation was pretty straight forward, you do need to guess on the cable connections.
My second issue was with the sound quality. It sounds great sitting in your car, but once on the road you need to increase the volume to almost max, which cause the speakers to start to clip in the Jeep. I adjusted the amp settings, sound processing, and bass level gains through he touch screen but it was just never right and eventually would clip.
To those wanting a plug-in hybrid Jeep that isn’t a life-size Lego car in which the roof and doors come off and the windshield folds, your time has come.
Jeep shoved the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid’s powertrain into the Grand Cherokee. Like its sibling, the 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe sacrifices nothing in its transition to become more efficient—except your wallet. Just as with the Wrangler, plugging in comes at a pretty hefty price premium.
The Grand Cherokee 4xe spec sheet reads like a near carbon copy of its windshield-folding sibling. There’s a 2.0-liter turbo-4 with 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque paired with a 44-hp motor-generator (which connects directly to the crankshaft via a belt and replaces the starter). A 17.3-kwh battery pack powers a bigger electric motor that puts out 134 hp and 198 lb-ft, sandwiched within the 8-speed automatic transmission. Total system output is 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, making the PHEV model the most powerful one in the Grand Cherokee lineup, at 18 hp and 80 lb-ft of torque over the optional 5.7-liter V-8.
Despite hauling a split battery pack in its chassis (and a somewhat smaller gas tank) the PHEV version of the Grand Cherokee gives up no capability in the name of efficiency and has a total driving range of 470 miles.
Over the course of a day and over about 200 miles of driving both on- and off-road, the Jeep delivered on its EPA ratings of 25 miles of electric range, 56 MPGe, and 23 mpg combined—mostly. In mixed driving starting with the battery at 99% state of charge the Grand Cherokee went 24.5 miles before the juice ran out and the powertrain flipped into hybrid mode netting 23.5 mpg average lining up exactly with EPA ratings. But starting off with an empty battery running in pure hybrid mode over the course of about 100 miles of mostly highway into Austin, Texas the 4xe only mustered 18.5 mpg according to the trip computer. The V-8, and V-6, can do that, and better without a full hybrid system.
Under electric power the 8-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly without issue and the power is linear, but it’s not enough. Put the accelerator to the floor and the gas engine will kick in, but it takes a full second. The point-and-shoot nature of the V-8-powered Grand Cherokee is lost here despite the PHEV’s 0-60 mph sprint of 6.0 seconds vs the V-8’s 6.9 sprint. Finding a hole in traffic and zipping into it from a stop proved difficult, as it’s hard to anticipate the entire powertrain waking up from its slumber.
In hybrid mode, in normal driving around town, the powertrain was smooth, with active noise cancellation blotting out the turbo-4’s spooling and coarse sound when revved. But with nearly 6,000 lb of trailer and classic Jeep mail truck hooked to the back of the 4xe (which maxes out the 4xe’s tow rating, which we don’t recommend doing), the revs climbed and stayed above 3,000 rpm to maintain near 40-plus mph. Pulling away from a stop was easy thanks to the electric motor’s instant torque fill, but quickly the turbo became audible while maintaining speed. On the gravel test loop for towing we weren’t able to top 40 mph safely, which means highway speeds and passing will be left for another day of testing. It’s clear from our very brief initial test the 4xe can tow the rated 6,000 lb and there’s no lack of power. But if towing is the main prerogative the V-8 might be the better option. Towing isn’t an efficient activity.
Off-roading in the 4xe is a mixed bag. The instant torque from the electric motor is nice in theory, but in practice it made climbing rock faces or over boulders slightly more difficult as the power is either on or off like a light switch in electric-only mode with the 4xe’s throttle tuning. This made for some situations where the Grand Cherokee would rock back and forth as it was not easy to creep up a steep incline smoothly.
Jeep said Max Regeneration mode mimics one-pedal driving in an EV, but that’s a stretch. Engaged easily via a button on the dashboard (and it stays on even when key cycling the 4xe), the system bakes in more regenerative braking, but it’s strongest below 40 mph. The system will not enable the Grand Cherokee to come to a complete stop without using the brake pedal, and it does creep forward when you lift off the brake. Max Regeneration mode seemingly responded differently while off-roading in all-electric mode, as it held the Jeep in place and helped modulate the power a bit to have it come online slower in tricky situations.
The 2022 Grand Cherokee 4xe pricing is a bit of a puzzle. Base models cost $59,495 including the $1,795 destination fee. It’s based on the Limited model in the gas-powered Grand Cherokee lineup, but comes better equipped with a 9-speaker Alpine audio system, 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 10.0-inch touchscreen front seat passenger infotainment screen, and panoramic sunroof, which similarly equipped means a $6,655 price premium. Bake in the federal tax credit, should you be fully eligible, and the base 4xe might cost less than a comparably equipped Limited in the end. A fully loaded Summit Reserve 4xe with night vision along with quilted leather and massaging front seats pushes up against $80,000 before tax credits.
This puts the 4xe into near luxury territory, where the Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge and BMW X5 PHEVs live. Both cost only a few thousand dollars more in base form, are quicker, just as powerful, and more importantly, have more electric range. In top Summit and Summit reserve trim the Grand Cherokee 4xe holds its own, but in lower trims it feels expensive and pushes the limits of value before the tax credits take hold.
Jeep flew me to Austin, had me sleep in a hotel, provided some food, and had me drive to a ranch in the middle of nowhere Texas to bring you this first-hand report.
This is the Beijing-Jeep Grand Cherokee, made in China from 2005 until 2008 by the Beijing-Jeep joint venture. The Chinese Grand Cherokee was based on the Cherokee WJ that was made from 1999 until 2004. After production in the US ended the tooling went straight to China where the Grand Cherokee became the flagship model of Beijing-Jeep.
The Grand Cherokee came with two engines: the 4.0 six-in-line and the 4.7 V8. The 4.0 was called ‘Beijing-Jeep 4000’ and the 4.7 the ‘Beijing-Jeep 4700’. Confusingly those names were not used on the cars themselves, but were used in advertisement and on all other promotional materials. The only thing on the cars that differed the Chinese Grand Cherokee from the American was the designation ‘BJ2021G’ and the Beijing-Jeep Corporation logo.
BJ2021G was more like an internal-factory code but Beijing-Jeep somehow decided to stamp it on the back, they did the same thing with many, but not with all, versions of the Beijing-Jeep Cherokee.
Since 1993, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been one of the most recognized SUVs on the market. Combining rugged American utility with a touch of space and luxury, there"s a lot to love about the Grand Cherokee. The vehicle does so much well, but it does have ONE glaring weakness – the factory air suspension system.
Jeep owners have recognized a number of problems with the Quadralift factory air suspension system as it ages. Like other air suspensions, the Quadralift has a limited working life. As the miles add up, parts eventually start to wear down, leading to a vehicle that’s uncomfortable and even unsafe to drive.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has an internal system that looks for suspension problems. When it finds one, you"ll see an "Immediate Service/Repair Required" light on the instrument cluster.
Another warning sign is the dreaded "nose dive." This is when, as you come to a stop, the front end of your Jeep Cherokee dips down while the rear end raises up.
But one surefire way to check your suspension is to perform the "bounce test." This is very simple. Just walk to each corner of your Jeep and push down hard on the bumper and let go. The corner should spring back into place immediately. If it is slow to rise or bounces up and down before settling into place, you likely have a suspension problem at that corner.
If you notice any of these warning signs, you should consider getting it repaired immediately. Suspension issues in your Jeep Grand Cherokee will only get worse over time.
Air suspensions like the Jeep Quadralift are complex systems. There are any number of things that can go wrong. But some issues are more common than others. Front suspension issues are more common than rear suspension issues, for example. These are some of the most commonly-reported suspension problems.
Most people"s first reaction to suspension problems in their Grand Cherokee is to take it to the dealership for repair. If you choose to go this route, the dealership will replace any broken parts with OEM parts. If you have any experience with this, you know that this can get expensive quickly.
There is some good news for Grand Cherokee owners. In response to customer demand, Strutmasters has just released a suspension replacement kit for 2016-2020 models in addition to its popular kits for the 2011-2015 models. These kits allow you to ditch that troublesome air suspension entirely and switch it out for something much more reliable and much less expensive. It"s a lifesaver for anyone experiencing suspension issues with their Jeep.
Rather than computers, flexible rubber, and air, this kit sits your Grand Cherokee on sturdy, dependable steel struts and perfectly tuned cold-wound springs. With Strutmasters" Glide-Ride Technology, you"ll enjoy a smooth ride that compares to your air suspension when it was new.
One of the biggest advantages of this kit is just how simple and easy it is to install. Many of our customers choose to install these kits at home. All you need is a few common tools, a sturdy jack, and some minimal DIY skills. Most people can complete the install in about an hour per wheel. But even if you don"t want to install it yourself, the simple design means your mechanic will spend less time working on your Jeep. That translates into big labor cost savings.
But perhaps the biggest advantage of all is price. Starting at $1,279.99, you can replace your entire Jeep Grand Cherokee suspension and end those problems for less than you"d pay for just two replacement air springs. Once it"s installed, our kits are backed by a one-year warranty and the coil springs come with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee.
Unless you just love spending money and trips to the dealership, it"s easy to see why this suspension replacement kit is a much better option for your Jeep. It"s the inexpensive long-term fix you"ve been looking for.
The Highlander (or Kluger in Japan and Australia) shared a platform with its XU30 series Lexus RX/Toyota Harrier cousin. It came in five (2001–2007) and seven-seat (2004–2007) configurations and became a sales success for Toyota in a number of markets across the world. The Highlander came standard with front-wheel drive and offered all-wheel drive (50:50 front:rear fixed torque split). Unlike Toyota"s own 4Runner and other mid-sized competitors such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the Highlander aimed for on-road comfort with its unibody construction and independent rear suspension. Although it was longer than the 1996–2002 4Runner available at the time it was launched, the Highlander was surpassed in length by the redesigned 4Runner in August 2002.
The Kluger was introduced to Australia in October 2003. It was available in three guises: CV, CVX, and Grande. A limited edition CV Sport model was also released in 2006. There was no hybrid model available in Australia. The only engine offered was the 3.3-liter 3MZ-FE V6. Typical fuel economy using the Australian standard testing regime is 12.3 L/100 km (23.0 mpg‑imp; 19.1 mpg‑US).
The same three trim levels were offered (Base, Sport and Limited) until early 2010 when the SE model replaced the Sport model, buyers are still able to choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive on V6 platforms. Also new is an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. Sport and Limited models get a standard backup camera using a 3.5-inch LCD display. Major options include leather seats, heated seats, a touchscreen DVD based navigation system, a new Smart Key System, an upgraded JBL Synthesis stereo, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with 9-inch screen, and a towing package that increases towing capacity to 5000 pounds.
In Australia, the new generation Kluger was launched in August 2007. There are three trims available, KX-R, KX-S and Grande. All trims are available with either 2WD or AWD. The base model KX-R is also available with either five or seven seats, whilst the latter trims are seven seaters only. Specifications are mostly similar to the US Highlander, sharing the same 3.5-litre V6 2GR-FE engine and five-speed automatic transmission. However, there are no plans at present to introduce a hybrid version of the Kluger into the Australian market.
On 27 March 2013, Toyota unveiled the third generation XU50 series Highlander at the New York International Auto Show, with plans to have the vehicle reach dealerships in early 2014. Production began on 5 December.
