How much does the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 12.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 7,892 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and conditions.

Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a 4.9/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Technology, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise the luxurious feel, impressive safety features, and quality interior materials like leather. The overview also points to a redesigned SUV that blends serious off-road ability with everyday comfort, plus multiple powertrain options and strong ride quality.

The main trade-offs are a cramped back seat and poor value for money, so you should weigh those against the SUV’s capability and upscale cabin. Even so, the market still shows 36.5% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable-feeling ownership experience, with praise centered on the luxurious cabin, safety features, and interior materials that help the SUV feel well put together. The expert review also describes the Grand Cherokee as a vehicle that delivers satisfying on-pavement dynamics and capability you can count on in foul weather and off-road conditions.

Jeep Wave adds three complimentary oil changes and tire rotations during the first 36 months of ownership, which is a useful ownership perk. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that higher-complexity versions can be more expensive to maintain if you choose the wrong trim or equipment.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on every candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the SUV has been used off pavement or equipped with more complex hardware. Focus on overall condition, signs of wear in the cabin, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Laredo is the most basic version, with cloth seats and a simpler interior, while higher trims add more luxury and convenience. The Summit Reserve stands out for premium quilted and stitched leather, heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, a McIntosh audio system, and a panoramic sunroof.
• Powertrain: You can choose rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a V6 or V8 engine. The V6 is the more efficient choice and still delivers good acceleration and passing power, while the V8 adds stronger output and towing capability at the cost of fuel use.
• Safety package: Active Driving Assist brings adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and lane-centering assistance. Intersection Collision Assist is also included, and the system can disconnect on tighter curves, so you should not assume it replaces driver attention.
• Infotainment: Uconnect 5 is standard, with over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa integration, SiriusXM 360L, voice recognition, and voice text reply capability. Most trims get an 8.4-inch touchscreen, while a 10.1-inch screen is available on all but Laredo and standard on Summit and Summit Reserve.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates range from 17 mpg in combined driving with the V8 and 4WD to 21 mpg with the V6 and any drivetrain. The expert test also recorded results as high as 21.3 mpg with the V6 and Quadra-Trac I.

Which 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered in 7 trim levels: Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the value-oriented starting point if you want the Grand Cherokee’s core design and capability without paying for luxury extras. It keeps the cabin basic, but the interior still looks and feels more expensive than the price suggests.
• Altitude: Choose this if you want a step up from the base trim without jumping too far in price. It keeps the Grand Cherokee formula intact while adding more visual and equipment appeal than Laredo.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it balances comfort, technology, and everyday usability. It also unlocks the optional front passenger interactive display, which adds a more premium feel.
• Trailhawk: Pick this if off-road capability is your priority. It adds standard Quadra-Drive II, an electronic locking rear differential, air suspension, skid plates, and other trail-focused hardware.
• Overland: This trim is for buyers who want a more upscale feel and access to Quadra-Trac II with its two-speed transfer case. It sits in the middle of the lineup with a stronger luxury lean.
• Summit: This is the luxury-focused choice if you want a more premium cabin and the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen standard. It can also be equipped with Quadra-Drive II.
• Summit Reserve: This is the top-end pick if you want the most lavish version, with the richest interior materials and standard Quadra-Drive II.

The safety package is a strong point across the lineup, but you should still check whether the specific trim you’re considering includes the features you want.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and deal activity to reward careful shopping.

• Deal availability: 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 7,892 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,854, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $25,854 sits slightly below last year's $29,646.

That price movement suggests the model has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you shop carefully now, you may have less downside left than a buyer who paid closer to the prior-year average.

Strong demand can also support resale, especially for a model with broad appeal across comfort, technology, and capability. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee safe?

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Jeep equips it with Active Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and lane-centering assistance. Intersection Collision Assist is also included, and the system is designed to help with front cross-traffic situations at intersections.

The safety package is broad, but the system can disconnect on tighter curves, so you still need to stay engaged behind the wheel. Jeep also says the structure uses extensive aluminum and high-strength steel, which supports the SUV’s safety-focused redesign.

Should I buy a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned model brings a major technology upgrade and strong off-road capability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,654, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $25,854 average.
• It offers the familiar older formula with stylish design, premium materials, and strong handling.

The bottom line: If you want the newer design, better tech, and a broader spread of trims and powertrains, the 2022 is the better all-around choice. If your priority is saving money and you’re comfortable with the older generation’s formula, the 2021 is the more budget-friendly path.
