Here Is Everything You Need To Know About The 2023 Jeep® Grand Cherokee!

The fifth-generation Jeep® Grand Cherokee (WL74) was introduced last year to much success. The all-new model has a lot riding on it, considering the previous model was the most award-winning SUV ever. Despite an all-new vehicle, the Grand Cherokee has also spawned two other variants which include the three-row Grand Cherokee L (WL75) and the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Grand Cherokee 4xe.

While the Grand Cherokee does offer plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology with the Grand Cherokee 4xe, this article will focus on the non-electrified internal combustion engine (ICE) model.

The biggest news is the addition of the popular 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment system with navigation as standard equipment on Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve models. The Uconnect 5 system delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous Uconnect 4C unit. By using an Android operating system and over-the-air (OTA) updates, Uconnect 5 brings flexibility that will allow the system to continuously evolve to offer new content, features, and services. Both Laredo and Altitude models are only equipped with the 8.4-inch version.

The popular Grand Cherokee Trailhawk model has now been discontinued on the ICE model and is exclusively offered on the Grand Cherokee 4xe. You can read more about that by CLICKING HERE.

The two other changes for 2023, are for those audiophiles out there. Jeep is now offering its 9-speaker Alpine premium audio system as a standalone option on Limited models. The Alpine system includes a subwoofer and 506-watt amplifier with active noise control. For those looking for the optimum audio performance, the 19-speaker McIntosh® MX950 Entertainment System is now a standalone option for Overland and Summit models. The MX950 system includes a 17-channel amplifier delivering up to 950-watts of power, 19 custom-designed speakers, and a 10-inch subwoofer.

Lauded for its power and refinement, the 60-degree angle between the Pentastar V6's cylinder banks makes it inherently smooth running, augmented by accessories that bolt directly to the engine block. A 7-time winner of the Wards 10-Best Engines and Propulsion Systems award, the Pentastar V6 engine is compact, with features such as exhaust manifolds integrated into the cylinder heads. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine is rated for a towing capacity of up to 6,200 lbs. and an estimated class-leading driving range of nearly 500 miles.
