2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK
If you are interested in a midsize SUV that offers a fantastic combination of style, luxury, safety, and capability, then the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the perfect choice. This year, you have even more options to choose from than ever before as Jeep has decided to not only introduce an all-new Grand Cherokee model to kick off a new generation, but also retain the previous award-winning generation as the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. If you are interested in what the Grand Cherokee has to offer, but are not sold on the newest model, then the Grand Cherokee WK is the way to go.
Rather than having to worry about a variety of different engines and more than half-a-dozen trim levels with the all-new model, the 2022 Grand Cherokee WK keeps things streamlined. There are three trims available, which gives you plenty of flexibility in getting the kinds of features you want, but it makes it much easier to look at what is offered and keep things focused. The Laredo E is a great baseline choice with an 8.4-inch infotainment display, a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, and a comfortable interior with many excellent options available. You can choose to upgrade to the Laredo X trim instead, which builds on the standard features by adding a power liftgate, remote vehicle start functionality, and heated front seats.
With the available Limited trim, you get a refined experience that goes even further than the previous trims with a power sunroof, heated exterior mirrors, and a luxurious interior that surrounds you with elegance and comfort. No matter which Jeep Grand Cherokee WK trim you choose, however, you get a fantastic driving experience with a powerful engine that makes it a lot of fun to drive and gives you up to 6,200 lbs of maximum towing. This all comes together to show why the Grand Cherokee WK is as good as it has ever been, and it provides you with an exciting option if you are not looking for the features showcased in the new generation.

Performance and Capability
Standard V6 Power
When a vehicle only has one engine available, you have to hope it is a good one that offers enough power to make your driving experience as rewarding as possible. Sometimes manufacturers fall short, and drivers end up paying the price for that. Fortunately, the engineers and designers at Jeep have learned from the mistakes of other companies, and the engine in the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK is exactly what you would hope for.
No matter which trim or other options you pick, the Grand Cherokee WK is powered by a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine that delivers 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. This ensures you get a fantastic driving experience that is quick, responsive, and highly maneuverable as you get the power you need when you want it. Not only does this engine make the Grand Cherokee WK a lot of fun to drive, but it is also highly efficient with an estimated 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway––resulting in over 500 miles of range from a full tank of gas. This is also great news if you are interested in using your midsize SUV for hauling a boat or camper with you, as every model can handle up to 6,200 lbs of towing when properly equipped.
Off-Road Capability
You probably expect the 2022 Grand Cherokee WK to be able to handle itself in bad weather and a wide range of road conditions, which you should, and it can. The available Quadra-Trac II 4×4 system features a two-speed transfer case and sensors that help it detect tire slippage automatically and correct for it so that you always remain in control no matter what kind of conditions you are driving in. The Hill Descent Control system monitors your speed, throttle, and braking when going downhill and applies the brakes automatically to ensure you descend smoothly. Plus, the available Selec-Terrain Traction Management System lets you easily adjust engine performance and torque distribution for the best traction possible when driving on dirt roads or in bad weather.
Interior
A Spacious Cabin Design
For many people, the biggest reason to choose a midsize SUV is that it provides an interior that offers just the right amount of space for passengers and everything else you need to take with you. The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK is certainly no exception, and it has one of the finest interiors on the market––it has remained so popular that even though a new Grand Cherokee has been introduced, Jeep is still offering this model due to demand from customers. No matter which trim of the Grand Cherokee WK you choose, you get seating for up to five passengers with 105 cu.ft. of space for them and over 68 cu.ft. of total cargo volume inside.
A Feature-Rich Interior
Other than the space inside, the features you get within this SUV will vary depending on the trim level you pick. The starting Laredo E trim has fantastic interior features that are comfortable, functional, and stylish. These standard features include Keyless Enter ‘n Go functionality, an 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation and 3D graphics, and a 7-inch reconfigurable Driver Information Digital Cluster Display. You also get dual-zone air conditioning, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a six-speaker sound system, all standard.
Going up to the available Laredo X trim provides a number of upgrades throughout the interior, including a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated front seats, along with numerous other touches to make for a more comfortable and luxurious experience. Choosing the Limited trim really takes your experience to the next level, however, as it includes heated leather-trimmed front seats for added comfort and sophistication. You get a dual-pane power sunroof in the Limited, along with an available Alpine nine-speaker premium audio system with active noise cancellation for an incredible time behind the wheel.
Safety Features
Safety Made Standard
Even if you have no interest in any other aspect of a vehicle, you should look at the safety features it has to offer. Nothing is more important than how well your SUV can help protect you on the road. The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK has a terrific selection of both standard and available safety features to help keep you and your loved ones safe. Best of all, the available options are offered on all three trims, so you do not have to pay more to have access to the safest model possible.
Every Grand Cherokee WK comes with Jeep’s Pro-Tech I suite of safety features to help keep you safe on the road. This includes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, which helps detect when vehicles are in your blind spot as well as to warn you when an object is about to pass behind you while you are in reverse. You also get ParkSense Rear Park Assist and a ParkView Rear Backup Camera to help you with maneuvering in parking lots and while in reverse when visibility can be tricky.
Upgraded Safety Options
The available Pro-Tech II package adds to these fantastic standard features with even more safety systems for you to enjoy. This package includes Advanced Brake-Assist to help you when braking is needed to avoid a potential collision, along with Automatic High-Beam Headlamp-Control, which will adjust your headlights to provide optimal illumination without blinding oncoming drivers. You also get a Full-Speed Forward-Collision Warning with Active Braking, alerting you to potential collisions and assisting you with braking, as well as LaneSense Lane-Departure Warning to warn you of unintentional lane drifting and correct your vehicle’s position.
