For the first time since 2010, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is getting a redesign. It’s been in Jeep’s SUV lineup since 1993, and it’s still very popular with consumers. While we don’t have all the details about what to expect from the 2021 model, a few revelations have been made. Here’s a look at what we know so far.
Power and Performance
Although the exact engine lineup for the 2021 Grand Cherokee is still undetermined, there have been rumors about what to look for under the hood. The popular Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine with eTorque will probably be in the lineup, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with hybridization may also be available. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Jeep offer a diesel engine like the one found in the Wrangler or the Hellcat that comes on the Trackhawk as options for the Grand Cherokee.
As with previous models, the 2021 versions will come with either rear-, all-, or four-wheel drive depending on your driving style and preferences. Later in the year, you can expect to see a plug-in hybrid model of this midsize SUV, but even if that doesn’t happen, Jeep claims that its entire 2022 lineup will offer hybrid versions.
Spacious Interior
No one would have called the interior of the previous Grand Cherokee small, but the latest models will have even more space than ever before. This is due in part to the fact that the current length of 114 inches is expected to increase significantly in new models. This will not only create more space for passengers but will also increase the cargo capacity.
If you have a large family, you’ll be happy to hear that later in the year, Jeep may release the Grand Cherokee with a third row. So you’ll have plenty of room for up to seven passengers, all your gear, or whatever you need to make your life’s adventures great.
Modern Technology
Not much has been released about the infotainment system that will come on the 2021 Grand Cherokee. Currently, a 5-inch touch screen is standard on the base model with the option of upgrading to an 8.4-inch touch screen. We probably won’t see that smaller 5-inch screen anymore, and hopefully, the Grand Cherokee will have the option of a larger 10-inch screen, similar to the one found in the Ram 1500. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as well as a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot are other features that we should expect to come standard, at least on the upper trims.
As for driver-assist technologies, it’s not yet known which ones will be standard as opposed to available. However, we can expect to see some of the more common safety features found these days like a lane keeping system, pedestrian detections, and a blind-spot monitoring system with cross-traffic alert.
