2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee First Drive Review: The King is not Dead; All Hail the New King
The latest generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Grand Cherokee L, and Wagoneer seem like a good fit, according to us and Autoblog. All three can be fitted with the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 , the very engine the 6 will replace.
