The Jeep Grand Cherokee is due for a major redesign for the first time since 2011. And ahead of the model’s official debut in 2020 and arrival at dealerships in 2021, nothing new is known about the three-row vehicle except the addition of a more standard safety tech and introduction of a new Limited X model for 2019.
That is unless an allegedly leaked document circling social media proves to be true.
A certain Instagram user that goes by the handle @thejeep_guy claims that the new Grand Cherokee will be getting a revamped cabin.
According to the document, the upcoming Grand Cherokee’s cabin will be equipped with more advanced technology. While the 8.4-inch and 7.0-inch infotainment system will continue to be offered, Jeep is also introducing a 10.1-inch screen for the system along with a 10.5-inch instrument digital gauge cluster.
Also included as new features are new massaging seats, an overhead console, window switches, new outside door remote handles, and a new key fob. The shift lever will also be replaced with a gear-selector knob.
Under the hood, new powertrain options include a 2.0-liter turbo unit as well as a 5.7-liter HEMI V8, both featuring an eTorque mild hybrid system. Jeep is also reportedly considering a plug-in hybrid variant to join the currently used 3.6-liter V6, which makes 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.
The new generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee will be built at Fiat Chrysler Automobile’s Detroit plant where a new three-row SUV rumored to have the Grand Wagoneer nameplate will also be built. It will be sharing the same platform as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and is expected to go into production in Spring 2021.
