2021 is going to be a big year for Jeep. Literally.
Along with the restarted Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer size SUVs, the brand introduces the 2022 Grand Cherokee L in its range, which is the first three-wheel drive version of its best-selling model and will compete with the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.
The brand new vehicle is expected to go on sale this spring, and later in the year a two-way version without the L will be followed, which will include a plug-in hybrid power station option.
The Grand Cherokee L is stylishly inspired by the original Wagoneer, with a longer hood and boxer than the outgoing Grand Cherokee, first offered for sale in 2011, along with a slightly sloping grille.
Three different four-wheel drive engines with increasing off-road capability are offered, along with the choice of a 3.6-liter 296 hp V6 engine or 5.7-liter 5.7-liter V8 that can tow up to 7,200 pounds.
The Grand Cherokee L is also available with a Quadra-Lift air suspension system equipped with computer-controlled shocks that can increase or decrease the ground clearance from 8.3 inches to 10.9 inches for off-road driving to make it easier . to enter.

High-tech driving aids include a head-screen, night-vision camera and a practical lane-centering and a customizable cruise control system that will be followed in the 2022 model year by a hands-free similar to Cadillac’s Super Cruise.
The cabin is presented in seven passenger and six-passenger configurations with a camera that the driver can use to monitor the third row and rear child seats installed in the second row using the 10.1-inch touch screen information system screen. A digital benchmark and mirror-equipped rear-view camera are additional enhancements to the current Grand Cherokee interior, as well as the Palermo leather and open-pore oak and walnut trim offered in high-end models.
