Performance2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK is arriving at Jeep dealerships in full throttle. It comes equipped with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. This engine incorporates innovative electronic start/stop technology to help you save on fuel. To improve its efficiency on the road, the Grand Cherokee WK halts the fuel flow and shuts the engine off whenever you come to a stop. Whenever you’re ready to push on the accelerator, you can get moving again without a second thought.

The engine is quite powerful, as it boasts 260 pound-feet of torque and 295 horsepower. While being such a robust SUV, you can get surprisingly decent fuel efficiency. If you stick to city roads, you’ll achieve a fuel efficiency of 19 miles per gallon. When you switch to highway driving exclusively, your fuel efficiency can climb as high as 26 miles per gallon.

When you purchase the 2022 Grand Cherokee, you have the option of adding the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System. This system is excellent for driving no matter the weather conditions. It provides maximum traction on rough roads thanks to its ability to adjust torque distribution, engine performance, and shift patterns. You can also invest in the Quadra-Trac II 4×4 System, which has specialized sensors and a two-speed low transfer case that checks for and addresses tire slippage when you’re on slick roads.

While the 2022 Grand Cherokee has excellent driving performance, its towing capacity should not be overlooked. You can haul up to 6,200 pounds when you have the proper towing configuration in place. Before you try to tow anything, it’s a good idea to speak to your dealer about your requirements.

Here at Chris Nikel, we’re more than eager to discuss the towing configuration you need to haul the items you plan on taking to your destinations. You can visit us in person or speak with a team member on the phone to get more information. Even if you’re not ready to discuss something as specific as towing configurations, we’d love to talk with you about anything relating to the Grand Cherokee WK, as it’s a prominent SUV on our radar.

Specs

While the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK is similarly sized to models from previous years, it can be helpful to understand how its dimensions have been modified so that you know exactly what you’re getting. This vehicle sits at 189.8 inches in length and 69.3 inches in height.

Without the mirrors, its width is 76.5 inches. When you account for mirrors, the width expands to 84.8 inches. The Grand Cherokee WK’s curb weight, including all standard equipment and a full tank of gas, is 4,513 pounds. When you fuel up at the gas station, you can expect the tank to hold up to 24.6 gallons of gas.

Price

The 2022 Grand Cherokee WK has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $37,375. This MSRP is for the Laredo E, the base trim level of the Grand Cherokee WK. The other trim levels, Laredo X and Limited, have higher starting MSRPs since they offer you some additional features.

Exterior

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK retains some of the rugged elements and sweeping curves that define it as a notable model, but there are a few striking additions to add freshness. For instance, you’ll notice the distinct seven-slot grille located front and center. You’ll also see rear and front fascias that match the outer coat color you choose. Depending on the options available at your local dealership, you can get this SUV in striking colors like Dark Garnet Red Pearl and Gucci Black. Other notable exterior features include the power sunroof and chrome side mirrors.

Interior Amenities

When you step inside the 2022 Grand Cherokee WK, you’ll find it spacious and inviting. With all the seats up, you can access a storage area of up to 36.3 cubic feet. If you choose, you can fold down the back row to increase your storage space significantly. Some interior amenities that you and your passengers will appreciate for their sophistication include premium leather-trimmed bucket seats, an available leather-wrapped heating steering wheel, and heated front seats.

We also greatly appreciate the available power-adjustable driver seat. Better yet, it comes with a memory function so that different drivers can program their preferred seat height and distance from the steering wheel. When it’s your turn to hop in the driver’s seat, you don’t have to spend time finding the perfect position, as the 2022 Grand Cherokee WK does this for you.

As far as infotainment goes, this SUV comes with a Uconnect 4C NAV system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. If you want a refined listening experience, you can opt for the available Alpine Premium Audio System. This system has an eight-inch subwoofer, nine speakers, and a 506-watt amplifier that all work together to deliver crisp audio.
