Rumors have been flying about the 2021 Grand Cherokee, with Jeep enthusiasts scrounging the internet for any piece of information they can find about this upcoming vehicle. While there have been no official announcements about the latest version of this classic SUV, there are a few things that we know about this model that should excite drivers everywhere.
Three Rows for the First Time
If you’ve ever owned a Grand Cherokee in the past, then you’re probably aware that this SUV has only ever offered a two-row configuration. Well, all that is about to change with the 2021 Grand Cherokee.
Spy shots taken in the last few months have revealed that the latest version of the Grand Cherokee will be available with three rows for the very first time in the model’s history. This means that this Jeep SUV now provides versatile interior configurations that should fit the needs of every driver, from singles looking for a fun, dependable vehicle to families who need an automobile with plenty of seating space.
Full Exterior Redesign
Another thing that we know about the newest version of the Grand Cherokee is that the 2021 model will feature a complete redesign, meaning you can forget everything you thought you knew about this vehicle’s style. While the signature seven-slot grille will return, the exterior of the Grand Cherokee will have a refreshed look that should entice every car buyer.
For starters, the new Grand Cherokee will have a much longer wheelbase than previous models, which allows for more cargo room as well as the additional seating space mentioned above. When this model is released, you should also expect to see a rear-wheel-drive Giorgio platform that can be found currently on several Alfa Romeo vehicles. Jeep has been tightlipped about other exterior upgrades, but if the longer wheelbase is any indication, we should see an ultra-sleek design.
Powertrain Options
Not much information has been released about the powertrain options we may see on the 2021 Grand Cherokee, but auto experts have made some speculations. For instance, it’s expected that the new Grand Cherokee will still come standard with a powerful V-6 engine, and many believe that a V-8 engine will also be available.
Hybrid powertrains are all the rage these days, and there is a strong belief that the upcoming Grand Cherokee may offer several hybrid options, including a plug-in hybrid that will allow you to charge your battery at home. Some have speculated that the latest version of the Grand Cherokee will have some self-driving capabilities, which means going for a ride in this SUV should be easier and more fun than ever before.
The release of the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is still more than a year away, but as you can see, there are some key pieces of information that we’ve already learned about this automobile. From more flexible seating to a redesigned exterior, the upcoming Grand Cherokee will provide a lot of features that you’ll love. Keep an eye out at your Vacaville Jeep dealer for this vehicle so that you can be one of the first to go for a test drive.
