New in 2022
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.
Standard Features
The standard trim option has a voice-activated air conditioning system and remote keyless entry. The windows are deeply tinted for ultimate privacy and sun protection, and the vehicle offers illuminated front beverage holders, six speakers, Bluetooth capabilities and a front infotainment monitor.
Key safety features include rear parking sensors and blind-spot warning. In addition, a panic alarm can be activated from inside the vehicle or through the keys. Numerous additional safety features are available in upgraded trim levels.
Available Trim Levels
Five available trim levels are available for the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Some of these trim levels have additional packages for a more customized driving experience.
Although most drivers are fine with the standard trim, in some situations a higher trim level is more appropriate. For example, suppose you prefer a more comfortable or luxurious driving experience. In that case, certain trim levels offer suitable features. Some trim levels are explicitly designed to maximize off-roading capabilities.
