2-Row Grand Cherokee Preview
Recently, the Grand Cherokee SUV, a favorite for many around Chicago, Skokie, Park Ridge, and Forest Park, began to offer a 3-row version. If you need three rows, it’s a worthwhile model to consider. If two rows are plenty for you, though, then this 2-row Grand Cherokee preview is what you want to read. We’ll be breaking down the interior space of the Grand Cherokee along with other vital aspects such as performance and towing capacity.
Driving the Grand Cherokee is also possible by contacting us at Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CDJR).
Classic Jeep Grand Cherokee Performance and Capability
If you’ve owned any Grand Cherokee SUVs before or have briefly driven one, you’ll know how powerful and capable this model typically is. With three engine options for 2022, the Grand Cherokee will continue serving as an ideal choice for folks who want to tow a trailer.
The smallest motor is an engineering marvel. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is expected to pump out 375 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque, and reach a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds.
If you want, you can step up to a V6 engine. The 3.6L generates 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Towing capacity is a strong 6,200 pounds at its peak.
Lastly, there’s a hearty V8 engine for those who require near-truck-levels of towing capability. You can expect to generate up to 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque from the 5.7L engine arrangement. When you have the SUV properly equipped, the V8 engine can tow up to a maximum of 7,200 pounds!
2 Spacious Rows in the Jeep Grand Cherokee
You don’t have to step up to the 3-row Jeep Grand Cherokee to enjoy a usable, configurable interior. The 2-row version is roomy, adjustable, and can be styled to your liking by selecting different trims.
The total passenger volume reaches 145 cubic feet. If you have cargo you’re bringing along, you can either keep the rear seats standing or fold them flat:
- 37.7 cubic feet behind the second row
- 70.8 cubic feet behind the first row
You won’t have to worry about fitting your friends or children in the Grand Cherokee, either. The front row offers 41.3 inches of legroom, 39.9 inches of headroom, 57.4 inches of hip room, and 59.2 inches of shoulder room. The second row is equally generous with the following measurements:
- 38.2 inches of rear legroom
- 39.4 inches of rear headroom
- 56.3 inches of rear hip room
- 58 inches of rear shoulder room
2-Row Jeep Grand Cherokee is Capable, Spacious
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 2-row SUV will check off a lot of needs for those around Park Ridge, Forest Park, Chicago, and Skokie. Need towing? You can opt for a large V8 motor with over 7,000 pounds of capacity. Need to switch from supporting passengers to storing cargo? Just drop the second row flat, and you’re off.
