The driver and passengers no longer had to deal with feeling every bump and rumble. Now they could relax, enjoy a comfortable interior, and have confidence that their Jeep Grand Cherokee could get them where they were going. The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers on that promise, but its Overland and Limited trim levels mean you have to make a decision on which one to buy. more At The Jeep Store, we understand the dilemma posed by picking between one 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee trim level over another. That's why we're taking a look at the Overland and Limited trim packages to help you make an informed decision on which one you should buy from our dealership. Read on to learn more about the differences between the two. Pricing Both trims are at the lower end of the price range, which makes them affordable for buyers who want a little extra in terms of creature comforts. The Limited has an MSRP of $46,440, and the Overland is $56,035. Exterior Differences There aren’t many visual differences between the two trim levels, as the Overland is built off the Limited. That is, you'll find that the exterior details of the Overland are similar to that of the Limited. Both trim levels have the same color options, but a two-tone paint option is available on the Overland only. The Limited comes with 18-inch aluminum rims, while the Overland gets an upgrade to 20-inch machined-face aluminum rims. Interior Features The Limited acts as a base model for the Overland in terms of interior features and technologies. You'll find that both trim levels offer details that you would expect at their respective price levels, but the Overland gets upgraded versions of the same features. Some features, such as a power sunroof, are not available on the Limited but are available on the Overland. Interior Features of the Limited The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited comes standard with features that include a 10.25-inch TFT color display, An-Teak/satin chrome interior accents, heated steering wheel, rear cargo-area 12V power outlet, a universal garage-door opener, security alarm, premium six-speaker sound system, and six-passenger seating.

The driver gets a driver-seat memory to save the seat settings. Conveniences include power front windows with one-touch up/down, speed-sensitive power locks, and a rear-view day/night mirror. Bluetooth with integrated voice command comes as standard. The third-row seats have access to charge-only USB ports. Interior Features of the Overland The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland features Nappa leather seats as a standard material finish.

The infotainment system features Bluetooth connectivity with integrated voice command, and audio controls are mounted on the steering wheel. The infotainment system in both models comes with Uconnect® 5 Navigation with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Powertrain and Suspension Both trim packages come with the same engine as standard in the 4x2 configuration. The standard engine for both is the 3.6L Pentastar™ V-6. Upgrading to the 4x4 Overland comes with the option to include the 5.7L HEMI™ V-8. Both come with the eight-speed automatic 850Re transmission as standard on either engine. The Pentastar™ V-6 features fuel-saving technology known as engine start-stop. The engine turns off when the car is at a complete stop, then turns on again when the accelerator is pressed. It also has variable-valve timing (VVT) that adjusts power generation according to the driver’s demand. This delivers fuel economy and power depending on what's needed at the moment. The 5.7-liter V-8 also has VVT but uses cylinder deactivation to save on fuel. It turns off four of the eight cylinders and closes the valves when cruising and when acceleration is limited. The cylinders are turned back on immediately when the driver presses the accelerator. This technology can improve gas mileage by up to 20 percent. The V-6 can tow up to 6,200 pounds, and the V-8 maxes out at 7,200 pounds. The 4x4 version of the Limited comes with the venerable and reliable Quadra-Trac I system, and the Overland gets the Quadra-Trac II 4x4 system as an upgrade. The air suspension comes with electronic semi-active dampening and gives the Overland 11.3-inches of ground clearance and 24-inches of water-fording clearance. The 2022 Grand Cherokee 4x4 featured a system known as front-axle disconnect, which carries over to the 2023 version. When the Grand Cherokee senses that the road conditions don't require all-wheel drive, it automatically puts the vehicle into two-wheel drive. This improves fuel economy and reduces drag. The all-wheel drive re-engages automatically if road conditions worsen.
