Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 2022
2It's been a mixed bag recently for Jeep Grand Cherokee aficionados. A new three-row Grand Cherokee L debuted for the 2021 model year to much fanfare, but the GC's two-row fourth-generation variant has soldiered on unchanged, despite being on the market for 11 long years. A redesigned two-row Grand Cherokee has been eagerly anticipated, and our initial experience with the 2022 model tells us that the patience of its fan base will be rewarded—if they're willing to pay for more than a decade's worth of catch-up.
The new standard two-row Grand Cherokee is some 11.4 inches shorter than its three-row L counterpart. More to the point, it's 3.7 inches longer, an inch wider, and has a lower roofline than the outgoing model. It rides on a 116.7-inch wheelbase that's exactly two inches longer than before, and the track width is up 1.4 inches. The result is a subtle swelling that's almost undetectable because its proportions remain pure Grand Cherokee. There's a certain fireplug stoutness to its shape, with its straight character lines, tented greenhouse, trapezoidal wheel arches, and a tapered D-pillar that tips forward a bit more than the boxier three-row L's. This time out the hood is a bit longer, and the nose and requisite seven-slot grille are canted slightly forward, à la Jeep J-series. Consider yourself forgiven if you didn't notice that the side glass extends nearly a half inch lower, improving visibility.
