NOT What I Expected: Cheapest vs Most Expensive 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Review | Buy THIS One!

[@charlieboozer82]

I work at the Mahle Behr manufacturing plant in Dayton Ohio where I've been for almost 18yrs. For 11 of those years, I've worked in the department where I've built the wk2/wd hvac and engine cooling module(ECM) for the grand cherokee in all its rooms and the Dodge Durango. I am proud to say that we are now building the hvac and ecm for the 22 grand cherokee and wagoneer as well, the WL platform as was alluded to. So proud my hard work is part of this beautiful vehicle.

You take care of the car and put the proper fuel in it, it'll take care of you. Never had a problem with my Jeeps or Audi's. 54 thousand and 98 thousand perspectively I keep my cars for 3.5 years and pay them off in cash over the course of 2 months of $9500 a week. That's relatively quick. After they're paid for, I don't have a single problem with them. However, my wife's current Lexus, Cadillac prior and Infiniti prior to that all had an issue or 2. They were supposed to be so great and reliable. My mother had a pricey amount of trouble out of her 4-Runner and none out of her Durango. So, I'm different and buy what appeals to oneself. Most people do. When spending this kind of money, you get what you want and not worry about so called reliability. In case something go's wrong, trade that car in and get another one.

I feel I got a deal even in this market because to get a 2022 with the 5.7 is significantly more expensive than the 2021. The drive lines are the same in 2022. No low range in the lower trim levels on the 2022. No sunroof or nav in the the 2022 limited trim. For me, they did reduce manufacturing defects over the 10 years of production. Not perfect but acceptable. Looked at other products. I wanted a better balance driving experience than the 3.6 provides. Good luck with the new ones.

@@jjchockey According to this video, the tested limited did not have a two speed transfer case. Also, it stickered at $57k, which is $15k more than the $42k my similarly specked '14 stickered at. Standard features here are irrelevant given that mine and the example here are similarly specked. I didn't say the new one lacked hill decent control so I don't know why you brought that up. Is the new one quieter? Does it have a smoother ride I don't know. And you don't either because you haven't driven both. Anyway, if you feel the new one is a great value, feel free to go ahead and buy one. If it was my 57k,. I would pick a Mercedes GLE 4matic over this.

I know a lot of people are complaining about the price, and by no means are they cheap, but to compare the new GC to the previous editions isn’t a fair match. The 2022 Laredo has more options and convenience features than the previous WK Limited and is evenly equipped with the WK2, with the exception of leather seats. The question is whether they moved it too far upscale. As far as looks, Jeep has apparently intentionally dramatically changed the looks and style of each new generation. My personal favorite was the WK with the sharp corners and compact size and the semi-circle headlights. I just wish they’d go back to the flip window hatch.

[@fatjack9096]

($1100 on the '18) Huge profit center for Jeep. I am left wondering about the Trailhawk's seats. Before, Trailhawk was the only way to get the much superior SRT seats in a non-SRT GC. I wonder if that's still the case? Also, if you want a (sluggish) V8, it's worth noting it's not available on the Limited anymore, meaning you'll have pay a lot more for a higher end trim level to get it.

Now to be fair it does not have the interior of the new Limited BUT it was still very nicely appointed and very comfortable. It has a sun roof but not a panoramic sunroof. There is no real wood trim. Its probably more like today's Laredo but what a great value it was just few short years earlier. Can't believe I'm paying almost $70k for a new loaded version. I will say though, the air suspension and creature comforts are on par with a BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE350 (I've owned 2 in the past).

Lets hope it does well on the Moose test. The old one before the facelift was very bad.

We're moving to New England soon and a 4x4 is a must have due to the snow so this is at the top of our list, but will be sad to see the Challeger Scat Pack go. I love what they have done with the interior of the new GC, especially that you can get cloth seats with the heated option since leather doesn't work for us in colder weather and they are pretty attractive. It has all of the safety features, remote start and driving assistance features as well. Actually, the only thing I can think of that we would want added to the red 4x4 Laredo shown here is fog lights. It's not a bad price for what you get and we'd delete the sunroof because we never use them which would save $1,095. Wouldn't need the passenger screen, either, as the husband or I would be on our smartphones on a long trip anyway. That trim level absolutely meets our needs. We haven't ruled out the 4xe for better mileage, but we trust the reliability of the 3.6L. So happy with the new exterior design as well. Looking forward to test driving one!

Wow….look at all the fingerprints and micro scratches on the center and passenger digital screens. Stupid! People buying this “glass suv” might want to consider getting screen protectors, also piano black accents is such a poor manufacturing choice.

[@TomazHilton]

what else should they use?? Matte Surfaces and fade, or become Glossy overtime because of Natural Oils on your fingers.

[@MikeV8652]

I hear you about the fingerprints, but in all fairness, these had lots of Utah dust on the interiors.

[@ricepile1343]

The passenger side isn't glass due to safety stuff, the piano black is a bad option though

[@es0terra]

Dust and fingerprints are manageable…but all those scratches….it may just be me, and that’s fine, but piano black is not a good choice imho. Love all your videos you guys are putting out. Keep up the good work.

[@jre617]

"Piano black" is a dumb phrase. It implies the highly lacquered wood on a piano. But for car interiors it really just means glossy black plastic. I'm much less impressed by the lower trim level quality than the above narrator. Still hard plastics in the same locations as before. I guess you'd have to jump up to Overland to get a good looking interior.

great job on reviewing these jeeps!

[@zaccorpseman7366]

Remember when the WK2 was considered brand new back in 2011 and they did the same kind of review like this with the same red colour, time surely flies. The WK2 was still somewhat buff looking from the rear, and those acceleration numbers surely looked better than what this thing got. This happens when you add a bunch of electric crap dead weight without any power increase

[@cheapme1850]

The WL is supposedly 250 lbs. lighter than the WK2 so unless there’s some other changes like gear ratios, it should be as quick or quicker than the outgoing model.

This generation of grand cherokee wk2 on a solid frame, the new wl is no longer available, the dealer in Australia sent me with regards to the welded frame in wk2: Monocoque Body with Built-in Ladder Frame They say that superior off-road handling capability could only come at the expense of on-road smoothness. They have obviously never driven grand cherokee . By incorporating a lightweight and highly rigid monocoque body with a built-in ladder frame that provides added resistance to torsion and flexing and fixing them atop a dynamic independent suspension, Grand cherokee achieves an unprecedented combination of all-terrain control and luxury-sedan comfort. For added durability, grand cherokee now makes more extensive use of galvanized steel body panels, while the new aluminum hood panel reduces weight for better handling.

This Laredo seems to be optioned much better then the outgoing models but I would prefer a different wheel and tire package. I don't mind the 18's but I would like an A/T tire and perhaps an inexpensive black steel wheel or a dark grey/charcoal wheel.

[@02hreblue30]

steel wheels kill MPG. Too heavy

[@matthewrobertson156]

Not sure why but that interior just doesn't seem to set well with me. Seems to busy and trying too hard. I'm sure it works functionally but there's just something aesthetically thats not pleasing.

[@matthewrobertson156]

@Nana Love Having that drive selector centered in the console for symmetry just looks disgusting. Just feels like a lot of wasted space all the dash itself is just overloaded.

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

I'm seriously trying to get my mother, who is retired and barely drives much now, to trade in her '11 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited for a GC. The odd time she drives, she has to grasp the wheel to pull herself in, its a gas hog at 16L/100km, spacious for the family but barely comfortable. I'll be the primary and daily driver of this vehicle soon since I traded in my car to help my wife buy hers, and I don't really want to be stuck shelling out $70/week in gas for my short 35km daily drives to and from work. I'd keep the Wrangler for our snowy days and the look, but thats about it. I had my mom climb into a '22 WK Altitude, and she was fairly impressed...so its possible.
