As you're well aware, the Jeep Grand Cherokee switched from Mercedes-based underpinnings to the Giorgio platform developed by Alfa Romeo and Ferrari. And as expected, this world-class vehicle architecture has also increased the MSRP from $34,220 to $36,995 excluding freight.
In the first instance, only the long-wheelbase variant will be offered in the United States. The three-row Grand Cherokee L is available in six trim levels at launch, starting with the Laredo 4x2 and Laredo 4x4. Four-wheel drive adds $2,000 to the sticker price, and the destination charge is $1,695.
Next up, we have the Altitude, Limited, Overland, and Summit. At the very top of the lineup, the Summit Reserve comes exclusively with 4WD and a choice between six and eight cylinders. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 belts out 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet (362 Nm) of torque whereas the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is rated at 357 horsepower and 390 pound-feet (529 Nm).
Stellantis, a.k.a. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in cahoots with French automaker Groupe PSA, also offers the eight-cylinder option in the Overland and Summit. Regardless of trim level and specification, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is manufactured at the Detroit Assembly Complex (Mack Plant) in Michigan.
$2,775 more expensive than the short-wheelbase, five-row Grand Cherokee with German bits and bobs, the brand-new Grand Cherokee L is loaded with desirable features as standard. Highlights include tip-and-slide seats for the second row, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, Uconnect 5 touchscreen infotainment, LED lights, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring.
“For 80 years, Jeep has consistently introduced exceptional vehicles that set the benchmark for capability and authenticity, including the debut of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which set the standard for what is expected of a modern SUV,” said Jim Morrison, vice president of the brand in North America.
“The all-new Grand Cherokee L continues to break barriers and push boundaries by ramping up its legendary 4x4 capability, adding a third row of seating for the first time, delivering even more premium on-road manners, and providing the most safety and advanced technology features in its class.”
The first examples will arrive at dealerships in the second quarter of 2021.
