The two-row version of the new WL Jeep Grand Cherokee finally arrives in showrooms this month after a delay, priced from $77,950 before on-road costs.

Three variants will be offered at first: Night Eagle, Limited and Overland, all powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 petrol engine.

These complement the longer, three-row Grand Cherokee L range launched last year, available in Night Eagle, Limited and Summit Reserve trims and priced from $82,750 before on-roads.

Summit Reserve 4xe

That means the new two-row undercuts the equivalent three-row by $4800, though there’s no two-row Summit Reserve as yet.

That will come in the third quarter of this year, combined with the 4xe turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain – a powertrain not available in the larger L.

The Grand Cherokee’s four-wheel drive system now has a front-axle disconnect, and will now send power exclusively to the rear wheels if it detects the road conditions don’t require all-paw traction. Jeep says this therefore reduces drag on the driveline and improves fuel economy.

While the Overland trim is new to the local WL range, there’s still no word of the off-road-oriented Trailhawk joining the range. This is offered in the US exclusively with the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Safety
