UPDATE, May 12 2021: New Jeep Grand Cherokee L launches in Australia

Jeep has confirmed local pricing and specification details for the 2022 Grand Cherokee L, with the seven-seat large SUV due to go on sale in Australia from June 1 this year.

Note: This article has been updated following the vehicle's local launch this week.

It is priced from $82,250 before on-road costs, and available exclusively with a naturally-aspirated 3.6-litre petrol six – with petrol V8 and six-cylinder turbo-diesel power axed.

The next-generation Grand Cherokee L is headlined by extensive testing in Australia, with local Jeep engineers set to complete more than 60,000 kilometres of driving in some of the harshest and most remote locations.

Alongside the facelifted Compass, the Grand Cherokee L also debuts the marque’s new Android-based UConnect 5 infotainment system – available in 8.4-inch and 10.1-inch sizes – which is said to be up to five times quicker than the unit fitted to the previous-generation Grand Cherokee.

A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster is standard across the range, while the 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display will make its way to Australia as part of the optional Advanced Technology Group option pack on the flagship Summit Reserve.

Off-road features include two separate 4x4 systems, Quadra-Trac I and Quadra-Drive II, which are claimed to give the new Grand Cherokee unrivalled capability. Air suspension is available on the Summit Reserve, delivering up to 272 millimetres of ground clearance in Off-Road 2 mode. This also increases its maximum wading depth to 609mm.

The flagship Summit Reserve is the second Grand Cherokee – alongside the SRT Trackhawk – to break the $100,000 barrier, priced from $115,450 before on-road costs.

A regular-wheelbase five-seat Grand Cherokee – offering similar technology and styling to the seven-seat L – will arrive in Australia by the end of 2022, with the option of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) power.
