What is it?
The fifth-generation Grand Cherokee is sold in Australia as the five-seat WL (4xe PHEV only) and the seven-seat WL L (V6 petrol plus 4xe top-spec). Quadra-Lift air suspension, low-range transfer case and Selec-Terrain deliver real off-road kit, while McIntosh 19-speaker audio and triple-screen dashes on Summit Reserve grades push the cabin into genuine luxury territory.
The lineup runs from Grand Cherokee L Night Eagle at $82,950 plus on-roads, through to Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve 4xe at $135,450 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, 100,000 km.
Interior and Technology
Quadra-Lift air suspension plus a low-range transfer case delivers real off-road capability rare in the seven-seat luxury segment. The 4xe pairs 280 kW combined with 51 km of WLTP EV range.
3.6 Pentastar is thirsty at 10.4 L/100km combined. Stellantis service network in Australia is thinner than the mainstream rivals and resale historically softer than European premium sevens.
