Spy Shots—’22 Jeep Grand Cherokee

From SEMA:



This is the ’22 Jeep Grand Cherokee caught testing out West.

The Grand Cherokee will get a complete redesign, inheriting a new platform derived from Alfa Romeo’s Giorgio underpinnings. Naturally, it will be significantly beefed up for a Jeep, but it allows for more technological advancements than the current WK2 Grand Cherokee that was designed in the DaimlerChrysler days. Included in the upgrades will be a 48-volt electrical system to power a new inline six-cylinder engine with mild hybrid assist that’s part of a new engine family from FCA. It’s expected that this engine might supplant the 5.7L Hemi V8, although a V8 is all but certain to continue to power high-performance versions of the Grand Cherokee. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 will continue, although benefit from direct injection. A plug-in hybrid variant is expected sometime after 2021.

Inside, the Grand Cherokee gets what looks like the 10.1-in. Uconnect touchscreen and appears to utilize high-end materials with premium-looking wood and leather.

The Grand Cherokee is expected to be shown later this year.

I'd guess the new Wagoneer for how long it looks.

Looks pretty long but pics can be deceiving.

Looks like a Yukon or Tahoe covered up.... Meh

The photos aren't needed since they show nothing of significance. No-one can even begin to visualize what the GC will look like from them. The text at least provides a bit of what to expect.

Its probably a longer version of a grand cherokee. Theres a trend for SUV's of this size to have 3rd row seating, lincoln aviator, lexus rx350L, volvo xc90, etc.

I dig that it will have an inline six, opposed to a v6.

I certainly hope it is not that big, or that's just a stretched optional version in the picture. It's big and heavy enough as-is.

I hope they finally fix the seats...the bottom cushions are so flat and hard, the wife & I were hurting after a 15 minute test drive...let alone long trips.
The seats in our old '04 WJ were AWESOME! Could ride in them all day long.

Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer maybe?
