Bigger And More Luxurious Than Ever | 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee First Drive Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 ноя 2021
- The "American Range Rover" just got a full redesign with a more premium interior, more capable off-road systems, and soon a plug-in hybrid system will join the party. Most folks will be happy to know that the Grand Cherokee still comes with V6 or V8 engines, rear wheel drive and more doo-dads than most folks will ever need. Want the plug-in hybrid or semi-autonomous driving option? You'll need to wait until later 2022...

As usual, the best, engineering focused analysis available! The most detail, the best comparisons. For me, mercifully lacking the faux drama. Bravo Alex!
Faux drama. Oouuuu an out of work English literature major.
Wow, Jeep is really knocking it out of the park with the interiors of all their new vehicles. The Grand Cherokee was luxury-lite before but it’s full on luxury now in the upper trim.
That near-$2k destination charge is also 'knocking it out of the park'.
@@ormand3000 Who told you that?
@@InvestBetter. Alex did 22:15
@@ormand3000 You changed your message to $2k from $4k. Now you got it right
@@InvestBetter. what are you talking about?. My message says $2k, not $4k. You must be blind or can't read
One of the best videos I've seen. To the point, no drama... Congrats Alex!!!
Great review as usual, and I was pleasantly surprised at the special guest appearance by Tommy from TFL car.
this is a great review, best one I've seen for this vehicle.
Holy crap.. watch the section of the Trailhawk maneuvering on those boulders. Incredible for stock car.
Wow. Very thorough review. Great job!
Definitely well suited to those rough trails to and from the local country club.
I own a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve, this guy explains everything in detail I’ve watched about 15 videos on this Summit Reserve this one is by far the best!!!!!!!
Great review Alex!
Very nice, thanks for your review.
Looks great and for those want a RR at less money it's seems like a good option. I'll take the GV70 for less money but then I don't need to rock crawl.
Very detailed informative video yet 💯👏👏👏
Best review I’ve seen in the Jeep Grand Cherokee line. I was very surprised to see the off-road feature. Moving AoAs to the top of my in box.
Fantastic review, very complete from a technical point of view. I would never do that kind of off road with a Grand Cherokee.
Nice work
Great SUV, great review!
Great information that no one else has shared
Thank God the host is a fast-speak person; if he was talking like a human being, then this video would be one hour long ahahah :)
Just increase the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5
Wonder if there was a making of and bloopers made
you need to be a fast talker in the car business.
Thanks for the great review! Glad someone finally talked about the alfa components. I know jeeps are going to be great offroad, but the onroad handling was always a dealbreaker for me.
Currently have an alfa stelvio which i love but thinking about switching to this new jeep.
Do you think the handling/cornering is anywhere near the alfa stelvio? Closer to a bmw/audi/mercedes? Or is this just a slight improvement from the typical jeep? Thanks again!
Great looking rig, even in base Laredo trim.
@2:29+ Alex very nice, luvin that rear 3/4 view. I'm sold. More of that subtle ;).
Holy the cow. That rock climbing looked absolutely terrifying! Really cool Jeep!
Damn, this is nice. A very good offering from Jeep.
Like he said, if you want unibody construction, excellent on-road dynamics, off-road abilities, and RWD, only Britain has a legit competitor. The Land Rover Defender is the closest competitor
Tommy and Alex in one video 🥰. I'm in heaven.
That’s a very good looking Vehicle
If you're struggling with color balance in these videos, using a color check by Xrite at the beginning of each "scene" where lighting changes will allow you to correctly set white balance and start your color correction.
Watching the Jeep on the boulders had me holding my breath 😂 awesome camera work
I've had a Limited L 3-Row as a loaner and it has a lot of NVH. A big thing we noticed was that the A/C system is rather loud, even in lowest fan setting. The drivetrain noise is pretty noticable as well even at idle
Yes and if the rear ac is on even on low its so loud up front in the dash you can't even talk to the passenger! I have had nothing but problems with mine! All electrical.
What is that sensor on the first of the 7 slots grill (counting from driver side)? Is it Lidar? It's definitely not the front camera which sits in the middle of the 4th slot.
Alex, do you think Jeep will be putting out 2022 Limited X, SRT and TrackHawk versions ?
Is a black top an option in the Limited trim?
Totally agree! It's a Range Rover !
how do you get rear screens in the summit reserve? jeep website only lets you add this feature in Wagoneer models.
I was confused about the suspension: are you saying a smooth ride for on-road you want the air suspension? Or is this a feature for off-roading? We want to focus on highway cruising features.
Does the Limited have the Lane keep assist system available and all of those extra goodies? We currently have a 2013 Limited with the 5.7L and love it and we are kind of in the market for a replacement. Looking at the L as well.
Yes, it does.
They need to ditch the gloss black on the touch points. Otherwise, it looks pretty nice.
Discovery seems like best direct comparison.
Hallo ich würde gerne wissen wie es mit dem Rostschutz ist , gerade im Unterboden .
I like that silver and black color.
Hi Alex 👋. I live in Utah. Love your videos.
Hi Alex. I visited Utah. Love your videos!
I find it strange that Jeep didn't include rock rails on the Trailhawk. I'd like to see Jeep include them at some point in the future. Even the first generation Jeep Liberty Renegade had factory rock rails.
Very nice initial analysis… thanks Alex!
It is based in Giorgio plattform like the Maserati Grekale and Alfa Romeo stelvio! This a Grate Cherokee!! 👌
It has everything 😩
I feel like I prefer the old front grille. Love everything else about it though
Alex, What an incredibly comprehensive introduction you have provided. I cannot imagine what kind of review you will produce when you get the GC back to Alex on Autos World Headquarters® for a full week. We hope you will provide us with a head to head comparison with your own personal GC that we regularly see in the background of your videos ;-)
They teach us at work, to never stick our head (or anything else) inside the machinery.
Waiting for the 4xe grand cherokee in a few months. 50 mpg sounds good to me! I don't need anything more than the Limited since I'm the stereotypical suburbanite who "needs" a jeep for Costco runs lol
Looks like a budget Cullinan…I’d like to see how they do the trackhawk or 392 variations
Just ordered a 23’ Summit Reserve. Exact spec as this one. Looked at RR, but the reliability is a headache I don’t want.
Nice driving, Tommy!
It’s alright
Can you get the trailhawk without the hood stickers?
Yes!!!!
Isn''t the Jeep GC more of a Range Rover Velar than Sport competitor?
We ll it has bad dependability rating as the range. I had a JGC years ago and all of the interior light went out (dash/radio/Navi) and the dealer could not fix it.
Wow. Even my base model Volkswagen Golf has lined door pockets. Seriously nice feature to keep things from clanging around.
I just ordered the 2 row Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve which came to over $71K. Do you mean to say that I should've waited till sometime later in 2022 for it to be equipped with hands free road capability?
A different video presentation on the same vehicle said that the capability will be part of the package.
From what the price range it have, and the size, this car is a bit like the Wagoneer series, which compete in two classes at the same time, the lower trim one comfortably competes with the palisade, CX-9, Telluride etc, while the higher trim competes closer to X5, Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90
Definitely more reliable too
Great review as usual. I don't know who was holding the camera for you as you walked around the trailhawk, but I'm guessing it was Tommy or someone from TFL. Cutting you or the car out of the scene is very TFL. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy their content, but sometimes their lack of awareness of where the camera is pointing is annoying.
Must.. resist.... But I won't be able to forever... This vehicle is in my future... Maybe 2023.
Over 70G's, insane.
Amazing as a Rivian R1S reservation holder paying same price as the Trail hawk V8 at $71k. LoL Rivian was so cheap and people missed that boat after March 1
Alex, listing the true competition you missed Rivian. At $70K, I would take R1S over this any day. I know we have a month or so before it is officially out in customer hands but I wouldn't separate ICE and BEVs when comparing vehicles in the same price range and functionality.
/\/\ This! I know the jeep crowd will be hesitant to jump ship, but I've seen the R1T in action and the R1S will be just as much the beast off-road. People who can afford to dish out this much for a fully capable vehicle really owe it to themselves to look into the Rivian R1S and make an educated decision. I'm eager to see Alex's review once AoA gets their hands on one.
Reliability??
Alex be like…”Please get me the f** outta this desert!
So the limited trim level isn't so limited?
Still waiting for the full review :)
Alot of technical data thanks/it’s about time they changed the rear tailights to led
I was kinda hoping that jeep would include the diesel option. I think I'd still go with the GM / Yukon/Tahoe vehicles with the diesel option.
Waiting for the SRT. Needs more power.
I got a 2022 summit L 5.7 loaded. 76k.
Also there will be a Hurricaine Engine coming..straight 6 twin turbo 500+ hp.....2023
The same reliability too.
I’ve had a Grand Cherokee and kinda want one again one day when i have money saved. Definitely not buying on a redesign year but after a few years i’d totally buy this. The last generations design was timeless and i can actually say they didn’t royally mess this up. I don’t care for the L tho and the Wagoneer is butt ugly. the two row is just the right size
This trim has genuine open-pore wood
i dunno what to make out of the new grand cheokee, its gone upscale and is not the same thing as before..... call it evolution? i saw the new wagoneer today, some lady was driving it, it was meh looking for what it is. then i thought denali
Congratulations. This the 9,999th video about the 2022 Cherokee. How different and refreshing. Your mother must be very proud.
Jejeje “nutty brown” 😂
Sometimes engineering is totally divorced from reality because of branding and perception. Wow factors are also that.
A decade ago I would have LOL'ed at any comparison between a Jeep and a Land Rover ( Range Rover?? PLEASE!!!). However, I have to give credit where it is due. Jeep/Dodge are no longer the low quality laughingstock they've been my whole life. When Fiat bought them out of the ashes, they put a global supply chain of high quality parts into those brands for the first time in----well----EVER. ZF transmissions, Bilstein shocks, Bosch electronic controls, etc. the whole panoply of the Fiat parts bin now flowed into what used to be the "cheapo" domestic. Now, Stellantis and their 11M cars a year juggernaut is going to keep that trend going. Let's see how this holds up 6 or 8 years from now for the final verdict; but I'm laughing no more.
Fiat had little to do with Chrysler upgrading. Chrysler had to upscale back in 2011 to compete with others to survive.
You are sooo barking up the *wrong* tree. Fiat did not “save” Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep. This is the best Grand Cherokee they’ve built, the most expensive too. Not sure Jeep is a luxury or even a premium brand and therefore I’m a bit confused about where they’re heading here and who they think they are.
Chrysler actually saved Fiat.
damn I have a new x5 and this is sick
Ranger rover and BMW X5 is better 😂
I love the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango but why can’t they ace the IIHS and NHTSA crash tests like most of their competitors have been doing for years? Will 2022 be any different?
They fixed their ratings on the rams when they redesigned then, imagine they did something similar here, but we will have to wait and see.
I hope the new interior is better. The previous one was atrocious in terms of space for the size of vehicle.
Wonder if this has all the electrical problems my new 21 Grand Cherokee L has. Biggest headache ever
100%. Jeep unreliable
WONDER HOW MANY TIMES YOU WILL SPAM THE COMMENTS WITH THE SAME SCHTICK about how you were so naive to buy a first year model during the supply shortage.
I hope Jeep didn't ask the Alfa Romeo team how to improve reliability on their jeeps! 🤣
Luckily Jeep is keeping their own powertrains like the 3.6 pentastar which is a solid engine. Old but reliable.
Jeep did the luxury off-roadster first. Wish they’d stop saying that like they’ve copied the formula or something. Grand Wagoneer came out in the 60s and Grand Cherokee was the first dedicated luxury off roader, debuting in the early 90s. Range Rover copied them if anything
The first Range Rovers were built in 1969 and they definitely didn’t copy the Kaiser Super Wagoneer. They really had nothing in common.
Jeep has been super shifty with the media demos for the GC... almost all of them have the air suspension which they are not building for consumers until further notice... would love to know how it rides without the quadralift!
Yes and they give all the reviewers v8s when everyone GC L on the lot is a v6 I haven't came across a single v8 for sale. And buying my wife was the Biggest financial mistake I have made! 3 months old and has spent more time in the service department then out! Loads of electrical issues! Even the steering gear box has went twice! While she was driving the steering wheel just locked up! Dangerous! Unfortunately these review channels either don't have the vehicles long enough to experience issues A. Or B. Won't say it if they did 🤷♂️
@@shane401 in my experience they tell you if they encounter issues but thats disappointing. Im between an X5 and the two row GC and with both manufacturers pulling things out left and right not sure what im going to do
@@Spazzgasm90 I'd go x5 or if you really want the GC wait few months until they hopefully sort things out because this vehicle out of 30-40 new vehicles I have bought over time is my biggest mistake and most unreliable one. It looks sharp and the inside is beautiful but what good is that when none of the tech inside works like the internet or uconect and now the steering wheel locking up twice while driving in past few weeks back to back after dealer had it 2 weeks while they replaced the steering gear box...
@@shane401 thats what im leaning towards. I have an order in on the X5 but im having a hard time spending 78k on a car with basic audio and no touch screen
@@shane401 tbf a lot of cars have issues in the first year of production which usually get worked out by the following year. I’m not surprised but I think it’s best to wait till next year and see how it stands, considering reliability is a measure over time.
Does it break down all the time like the range rover too?
I dont think anything breaks down as much as a range rover.
@@michaels7984 Eh but jeeps not exactly known for there quality either they can learn something from the Japanese auto makers
@@jhonrutger3508 oh I agree, just think range rovers are among the absolute worst for reliability.
19:58 -- WAIT!! Did he say the Subaru Outback Wilderness is MORE Off Roady Oriented?!??!?!! Wait wait wait. Watched Doug Demuros review of that last week. What am I missing? The Subaru will not survive off an actual road in any way. I don't think he thought that comment through.
AT ALL! No Subaru will be as capable as any Jeep it’s been proven.
@@Natethegreat200c Subaru’s are the most rescued vehicle by recovery vehicles. It’s marketing campaign is misleading and people shouldn’t be attempting anything other than light trails.
In fairness, Doug Demuro’s specialty is on road driving.
Several reviewers have said that the McIntosh audio sounds very poor. Boomy heavy bass. Inaccurate stereo separation. Please comment. Thank you.
Must have Toyota
I like it and i love jeep , but when i remember that my 2015 summit with only 87k miles and i had to change front air suspension 3 months ago which are pricey …, only to wake up this morning going to work with service air suspension immediately message forcing me to take my 2012 camaro which never failed me all these years ! While the jeep every year had 1-3 problems!! , on top of that big price jump? , no thank you unless with 7 years 150k miles warranty , if jeep can’t trust their product , i can’t.
Those economy numbers seem...optimistic. Squared. Like a seventies Caddy which had so many gee-whiz gadgets that failed prematurely, these layers upon layers of wizardry and gizmos will most like result in a depreciation dropping as fast as a Range Rover's. I'd like to like it but Americans just don't do complicated all that well. See the Space shuttle.
The new GC is significantly more expensive. The Trailhawk starts at $51,670. My '18 Trailhawk started at $43,295: $8500 less...! This is a big jump. New, more refined platform, but practically, you only get a bit more ground clearance and the adjustable sway bars. In ’18 Jeep didn’t charge for paint (now $400). Destination charge is now an outrageous $1800! ($1100 on the '18), a profit center for Jeep. Also, it's worth noting that if you want a (sluggish) V8, it's not available on the Limited anymore, meaning you'll have pay a lot more for a higher trim level to get it.
This is a lot of scratch for what cannot be described as Toyota levels of quality. No Thanks.
inflation adjusted it isnt that big of a jump
@@crhoads13 Average salaries in the US have not seen increases anywhere near this in three years. So it is the huge jump it appears.
Inflation and improved features and technology. Would like to see the 18 and 22 side by side comparison.
@@2012Edger Changes/updates to every new car generation are significant, but this hasn't traditionally resulted in price increases this high. Jeep, like many makers, is trying to move upscale. Nothing but that justifies this kind of increase. Don't be naïve. They're gouging, and for a vehicle that cannot be described as Toyota levels of quality.
No discussion of a Trackhawk or SRT version
The American Range Rover? In terms of reliability, probably yes.
😁
Bullshit. Modern Jeep is a very reliable brand
@@user-cx2bk6pm2f LMAO nice joke
Reflector LEDS instead of Projector LEDS.....Really ?? in this price range. Come on JEEP.
Not a Range Rover competitor but possibly a Defender
