Jeep may have provided the needed information of 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but further details are still needed. According to the company, they are making a new gen of such a legendary SUV with all the whistles and bells. But also expect some changes to come along the line, such as the V8 is said to be replaced by inline six unit. According to the company, the biggest change would take place on the powertrain, while the others will remain superficial.
The Updated Plan
The Grand Cherokee is a pretty new model in the industry with fresh design, so it’s unlikely that Jeep would change the overall design and construction. The new gen of Grand Cherokee is completely different from the previous ones, with significant changes on the platform, resulting in significant weight reduction. The same platform is also responsible for a better and more engaging handle.
But when it comes to exterior appearance or interior design, there won’t be any drastic updates. The SUV already has impressive interior vibe and good looking exterior, so it will do for now.
Powertrain and Performance
Many people have predicted that the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee would have experienced improvements in the powertrain options. Rumor has it that the current V8 would be changed with a new inline six unit with 3.0 liter capacity, called the Hurricane. The Hurricane is said to have 2 different outputs. The basic version, replacing the (current) V8 unit 2ith 5.7 liter capacity, can generate 420 hp. The second output version would be a-500 hp result.
However, many believe that the base trim levels should still continue using the V6 unit with 3.6 liter capacity, which is already familiar with the arrangement. This would generate 293 hp. And there is the rumored hybrid power, which is likely making into production for the 2024 model. It would be running on turbo four unit with 2.0 liter capacity with combined output reaching 375 hp. What kind of electric powertrain it would be paired with, it’s still unknown.
Price and Release Date
Hopefully, the new Grand Cherokee would be ready in 2023 – within a time rang of the second half. For the price range, it’s predicted that the starting price would start from $40,000.
