The 2022 Grand Cherokee: What’s under the hood?
The redesigned 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee enjoys 11 different trim levels to select from. 4 of these are plug-in hybrid models, each taking a different trim of the SUV and electrifying it. The other 7 are different versions of the Grand Cherokee: some enjoy incredibly luxurious features, others are designed for utility and off-roading fun, and yet others are more economical options. Even these last, however, are relatively stylish and comfortable options – the Grand Cherokee is a luxurious vehicle, after all.
The two traditional engine options for the 2022 Grand Cherokee are a 3.6L V6 and a 5.7L Hemi V8. Both of these engines are quite powerful, and will be more than sufficient to take you and your family around the Ames, IA area. Not every trim can be purchased with the larger 5.7L engine; you can experiment with different trim and features combinations here.
The Hybrid Trims
The new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee enjoys a hybrid powertrain option. Called the 4xe, it gets 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. or torque. Grand Cherokee models with this option can drive in hybrid, electric, or Esave mode, which allows Des Moines, IA area residents to choose when to use the battery and motor or the 2.0L engine that the hybrid powertrain includes.
The mid-tier Limited, off-roading Trailhawk, luxurious Overland, and top-tier Summit tiers of the Jeep Grand Cherokee can all be had with the 4xe powertrain. This means that Iowa residents can choose between a variety of different Grand Cherokee models that fill different roles in the lives of Story County drivers.
What’s up with the Hellcat engine?
The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee expanded lineup was a doozy: it included the two-row Jeep Grand Cherokee, the all-new three-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. This last model is especially well-known since it is powered by a massive 707 horsepower supercharged Hellcat V8 engine! The Trackhawk is one of the most powerful stock SUVs available in the entire world.
Jeep fans have been wondering: what’s next for the Trackhawk? As Jeep moves towards electric vehicles, it has not announced what will happen in the 2022 model year for the Trackhawk. Some rumors indicate that it will be released, but without the titanic Hellcat engine. There are also some whispers that Jeep will unveil a new Grand Cherokee special model that is powered by the Hellcat, but which is not the Trackhawk. Only time will tell what is in store for this Jeep fan favorite.
Conclusion
The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers something for everyone. With trims ranging from the economical Laredo to the ultra-luxurious Summit Reserve, Iowans of all stripes can find a trim of the SUV that fits their needs. Marshalltown, IA area residents who like venturing off the beaten path will enjoy the Trailhawk trim, which features specialized off-roading gear that includes adjustable air suspension and a disconnecting sway bar to help with rough terrain.
