Jeep introduced the fifth generation of the Grand Cherokee lineup in 2021, a model that truly honored its legacy while pushing forward with enhanced luxury and advanced technology. With over seven million units sold since its debut in 1992, the Grand Cherokee had long established itself as a benchmark for both off-road capability and on-road refinement.
From its inception, the Grand Cherokee balanced rugged performance with a comfortable interior, steadily evolving to offer more upscale features and impressive highway manners. The 2021 iteration continued this trend, showcasing a design so iconic it didn’t even need a badge to identify its lineage. The unmistakable seven vertical slats across the front grille signaled its Jeep heritage instantly, while the sleek narrow headlights and robust bumper connected it visually to earlier generations. Built on a shared Stellantis platform also used by the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, the Grand Cherokee featured a lower roofline for a more aerodynamic and sophisticated profile. The signature raked-forward C-pillars remained, preserving the SUV’s distinctive silhouette.
Inside, the transformation was even more striking. Where the original Grand Cherokee offered a utilitarian cabin with minimal amenities, the 2021 model competed firmly in the luxury SUV segment. High-quality leather, cutting-edge technology, and thoughtful comfort features defined the interior experience. The cabin provided a generous 144.6 cubic feet (4,096 liters) of space, with the rear split-folding bench enabling a cargo capacity increase up to 37.7 cubic feet (1,067 liters) when folded. Front occupants enjoyed the Uconnect infotainment system, which boasted up to three 10.1-inch screens for seamless control and connectivity.
On the powertrain front, the most technologically advanced option was the Grand Cherokee 4xe - a plug-in hybrid combining a turbocharged inline-four engine with an electric motor, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain offered an impressive balance of performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions, fitting perfectly with modern demands without sacrificing Jeep’s legendary capability.
