The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size SUV produced since 1992 across multiple generations. The Grand Cherokee positioned itself between the smaller Cherokee and the larger Wagoneer, providing four-door SUV utility with on-road comfort and off-road capability. Multiple generations have refined the formula. The Trackhawk variant (2018-2021) used the 6.2 supercharged Hellcat engine making 707 horsepower in a luxury SUV chassis. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds in a 5,300 pound SUV. The Trackhawk was discontinued in 2021 alongside the broader Hellcat platform wind-down at Stellantis. Clean used Trackhawks are appreciating quickly. The current WL Grand Cherokee (2022+) continues with V6, V8, and 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrains. The 4xe variant uses a turbocharged 2.0 four-cylinder plus electric motor for combined output around 375 horsepower. The Grand Cherokee L is the longer wheelbase three-row variant. On WhipJury, Grand Cherokee submissions are highly active, particularly Trackhawk and SRT variants. Modified Grand Cherokees with various performance and off-road modifications appear regularly.
