aria-label="2022 Jeep Grand CHerokee L 4"

Jeep has announced Australian prices for its all-new seven-seat Grand Cherokee L.

Jeep’s first-ever seven-seat Grand Cherokee (the Grand Cherokee L) will be available to Australian buyers mid-2022 at a price almost matching the Nissan Patrol. It will be greeted later in the year by a five-seat Grand Cherokee with another first: a plug-in hybrid engine.

For now, the new three-tier Grand Cherokee L range will be fitted with a petrol V6 engine. There is no word yet on the V8 engine model available in the US, and the diesel has been cancelled, leaving, for now, the Pentastar V6.

The model range starts at $82,250 before on-road costs for the entry-level and up to $115,450 for the flagship model. Full spec and details are listed below.
