Jeep's midsize SUV hits it out of the park with the latest generation. We could stand to see some powertrain innovation, but the Grand Cherokee's premium proposition is sound.

The Wrangler may be Jeep’s iconic 4x4, but the Grand Cherokee has actually been the brand's best seller. This, despite going more than a decade since its last redesign. People like the thing, and they're bound to like it even more as this midsize, premium-oriented SUV was completely redesigned for '22. We effectively got a preview of it with the first-ever three-row Grand Cherokee L introduced last year, though, as both share the same general updates with a few exceptions. Whether with two or three rows, the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the few authentic sport utilities still offered for a less-than-premium price. Its standard rear-wheel drive, V6 powertrain can be upgraded with one of three four-wheel drive systems, a 5.7-liter V8 option and eventually, a plug-in 4xe hybrid. An available air suspension guarantees a smooth ride and extra ground clearance, especially on the more capable Grand Cherokee Trailhawk model. Although this capability helps it stand out in a crowded field of SUVs, the 2022 Grand Cherokee also impresses with its new, more luxurious cabin packed with the latest technology. While a base Laredo might compete with a Honda Passport, a Grand Cherokee Summit is a bonafide luxury vehicle. This range of capability and market segment is just one more reason why Jeep's bread winner is so appealing.

In a word, everything. While the three-row model was introduced as a 2021, this is the first model year where both variants are spankin’ new. The new Grand Cherokee is lighter, quieter and soon to be offered with a 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain. The 2022 L get some of the features that debuted with the redesigned two-row, most notably including the front passenger entertainment screen. What are the Grand Cherokee’s interior and in-car technology like? The standard Grand Cherokee is offered with an attractively styled but low-feature interior heavy on gloss black accents and smooth surfaces. A heated steering wheel and heated seats are available from the base model on up (with a package, of course) and high trim levels slather on enough leather and niceties to make the Grand Cherokee a credible luxury vehicle. The Tupelo interior in the Summit Reserve is borderline decadent. Depending on how you choose to equip it, the Grand Cherokee ranges from conventionally techy to gadget geek's dream land. The base Grand Cherokee includes the 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay paired to a six-speaker audio system, which can be upgraded to a 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation and either an Alpine or top-flight McIntosh audio system. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB A and USB Type-C and HDMI inputs for personal devices. An L model loaded up with the Summit Reserve and rear-seat entertainment packages will offer more USB ports than most owners could possibly utilize at …
