Gladiator begins review driver#
Utilizing a tile-style UI, it’s intended to offer entertainment and comfort options for front-row passengers without tempting the driver with distraction. We comprehensively discussed the new Grand Cherokee’s interior when we drove the three-row L model, but the two-row arrives with a brand-new party piece: a 10.25-inch passenger-side infotainment screen. As a result, it was a step or two behind the Grand Cherokee’s premium SUV aspirations. Its interior, while still of decent quality and possessing an excellent infotainment suite, could not hide its ancient design that dated back to the Cerberus era. As its direct replacement, the new two-row really only had a handful of key bugbears to address. The most noteworthy among those is the dash-mounted passenger infotainment screen.ĭespite its advanced age, which is a theme when it comes to Stellantis products here in the United States, the outgoing Grand Cherokee was actually a pretty solid entry. The longer version is a bit more complicated because a few items weren’t quite ready for prime time when the L landed earlier in 2021, but were once the two-row’s on-sale date came around. In short (sorry), you take the three-row L model, hack off a few inches of length and an accompanying 250 pounds or so of mass, and you get the new, standard Grand Cherokee. This time, we’re driving the all-new two-row and it’s a 2022. Jeep launched the redesigned (now with three rows!) 2021 Grand Cherokee L earlier this year. MOAB, Utah – Welcome to the first drive of the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Hey, didn’t we already do this? Well, yes and no.
