Like said, the biggest addition could be the plug-in hybrid. Even when the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee shows up, the SUV is not bringing big changes. Nothing is certain at this point, since there is more than a year before the vehicle debuts. In a year, we will hear about the major downsides and the company will try to fix them. Owners are still gathering experience and info about the SUV. The fifth generation of the Grand Cherokee has just debuted. A 6.2-liter supercharged engine is under the hood. A 707 hp-rated version will be out as the Trackhawk Hellcat. However, the previously known Trackhawk stays part of the lineup. Still, big engine stays part of the lineup as the performance Trackhawk edition. This engine was known as the Grand Cherokee SRT, but Jeep is going to return the nameplate to the original owner – Dodge Durango. If a V6 is not good enough, a 5.7-liter Hemi unit will increase the outputs to 360 hp and 390 pound-feet of torque. Size and weight of the SUV harm the gas mileage, which is not so impressive.Īlthough it is not a full-size model, the Grand Cherokee is offering three different setups with V8 engines. An eight-speed automatic transmission can send power to the rear or both axles. The base configuration includes a 3.6-liter V6 which is ready to deliver 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. FCA is not messing around with weak four-pot mills to make the SUV cheaper at lower trim levels. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee needs a lot of power. Some say that the Demon setup of a 6.2-liter V8 could replace the Hellcat. But, 707 horsepower is still a stunning output. Since the Trackhawk edition is not the most powerful configuration in the SUV world anymore, we could see a boost here as well. That would be more than enough for Grand Cherokee. The drivetrain can develop 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. For example, we see the plug-in hybrid version of the Jeep Wrangler, called 4xe.
Now, when the lineup is expanded, and the latest generation still being fresh, we can only speculate about the changes on the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This might be a spinoff after the Washington Football Club had to change the name of the franchise. Stories are louder nowadays, although communication exists for several years.
They even threat to sue FCA, which also delivers a Mojave edition of the Ram truck.
Native American Cherokee nation wants the Jeep to stop using the nameplates for the vehicles. But, the major question is about the name.
