The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee looks nearly identical to previous models from the outside. However, this rugged off-roading vehicle has undergone an extensive redesign. That redesign paid particular attention to the cabin. The interior has been upgraded to be more comfortable and luxurious.
But the cabin isn’t the only upgrade. The 2022 model has also been equipped with a new front-axle disconnect system, which can disengage the front wheels when needed. In addition, the new active transfer case system can be helpful if you get stuck in sand or mud because it transfers all the vehicle’s torque to the wheel with the most grip.
