2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk – Off-road Driving. It’s a shame that the ultimate off-road prowess, which will be done by the vast majority of new buyers Jeep Grand Cherokee 2022At most, it will be to put two tires on a road by mistake or perhaps fall on a slope on a street in need of resurfacing. If anything impressed me after driving the new version of Jeep’s popular midsize station wagon, it’s its extreme off-road capability.
For those buyers the Grand Cherokee is a practical, elegant and above all beautiful truck, with an interior that was not only updated and equipped with the latest technological advances to make the driving experience easier and safer, but also it is itself a vehicle of abundant beauty and comfort, with new features.
The engines
The options under the engine are limited to the tried and trusted 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar that makes 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and a V8 HEMI. 5.7-liter engine that produces 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. Both machines are mated to the same eight-speed automatic transmission, which is smooth and assertive in its operation in combination with the V6, which was the engine we tested. Equipped with the V6, the new Grand Cherokee can tow up to 6,200 pounds, while with the V8 engine the towing capacity increases to 7,200 pounds.
Fuel economy estimated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, is 19 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg combined for the 3.6-liter, while the V8 yields 14 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined.
In this regard, it should be noted that the competition offers similar power to that of the 5.7-liter V8, with twin-turbo V6 engines that offer better fuel economy. Ford Explorer 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine generates up to 400 horsepower and performs 18 miles per gallon in the city, 24 miles per gallon on the highway.
The Summit Reserve and Trailhawk versions that I tested in regular and off-road driving respectively were equipped with the V6 engine that never made us feel the need for more power and that, in a beautiful symbiosis with the eight-speed transmission, provided an experience of vigorous and reliable handling, just what you want in this type of car.
Next year, Jeep will offer the long-awaited 4xe plug-in hybrid version, with a powertrain whose internal combustion component will be a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and which will achieve a combined output of 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. We were able to see this model, but not drive it.
