Inovev forecasts 300,000 units per year of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee
- The Jeep brand, which belongs to the Stellantis group, has just presented the new generation of its favorite model, the Grand Cherokee, which remains the best-selling model of the brand along with the Wrangler. This is the fifth generation of the model (the previous one dated back to 2011) and the first launched under the Stellantis era. In the Jeep lineup, the Grand Cherokee (E-segment) sits above the Renegade (B-segment), Compass (C-segment) and Cherokee (D-segment), but is now supplanted by the Grand Wagoneer (F-segment) on Dodge Ram base. The Grand Cherokee competes with the Dodge Durango and Range Rover Sport.
- The new Grand Cherokee takes the Giorgio platform from the Alfa-Roméo Giulia and Stelvio and the engine from the Wrangler, namely a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol plug-in hybrid producing 375 hp, which is now the most powerful engine performance of the Grand Cherokee. Indeed, the 3.6-liter V6 develops only 295 hp and the 5.7-liter V8 360 hp. This downsizing operation coupled with electrification has therefore proved to be profitable.
- The new Grand Cherokee is slightly longer than the previous one (4.91 m against 4.80 m) and a long wheelbase version is added to the range, this is the Grand Cherokee L which measures 5.18 m long, 27 centimeters longer.
- The new Grand Cherokee is produced at the Stellantis plant in Detroit (Michigan, USA). The old version had been manufactured at 245,000 units in 2021 and Inovev therefore expects a volume of 300,000 units per year from 2022, including the long-wheelbase version. The Grand Cherokee accounts for about a quarter of Jeep sales.
