The Jeep Grand Cherokee holds a spot of its own on the Quebec used market. It is the one midsize SUV combining highway comfort, serious towing ability and a four wheel drive system built to leave the pavement. At Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler, it is also among the most requested vehicles for buyers from Lévis, Quebec City, Beauce and Bellechasse. Since it exists in several generations that overlapped, knowing which one you are looking at changes the driving experience, the equipment and the capability entirely. Here is how to tell them apart.
The generation known by the WK2 code covers the 2016 to 2021 model years in Canada. This is the rounder looking Grand Cherokee, offered in trims such as Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, SRT and Trackhawk.
The next generation, the WL, arrived first as the three row Grand Cherokee L for 2021, then as a five seat version for 2022. You can spot it by its sharper bodywork, a far more technology driven cabin and the arrival of the 4xe plug in hybrid.
Here is the detail that slips past many buyers: both generations shared the Canadian lineup. In 2021, the new generation Grand Cherokee L was sold alongside the five seat Grand Cherokee of the old one. And for 2022, the older generation carried over as the Grand Cherokee WK, in parallel with the Grand Cherokee WL. Two vehicles wearing the same model year can therefore belong to different families. Our advisors confirm on site which one your unit belongs to.
The 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 runs through the whole period. It makes up to 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft on the WK2, and 293 horsepower with the same torque on the WL. It is the most common engine and the easiest to have serviced.
The 5.7 litre HEMI V8 delivers 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft on the WK2, and 357 horsepower on the WL. It stayed in the lineup through the 2023 model year for the five seat version, and it is the engine that unlocks the model's highest towing rating.
The 3.0 litre EcoDiesel, 240 horsepower and 420 lb-ft, appears on the Canadian spec sheets for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 model years. Actual availability varied widely year to year, making it a rarer find used.
On the performance side, the SRT and its 6.4 litre V8, 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft, was offered from 2016 to 2021. The Trackhawk, with a supercharged 6.2 litre V8 good for 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft, arrived for 2018 and bowed out with the WK2 in 2021. Neither version exists on the WL.
Finally, the Grand Cherokee 4xe plug in hybrid shows up for 2022: a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder paired with two electric motors for a combined 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft, a 17.3 kilowatt hour battery and roughly 42 kilometres of electric range. Since 2023, the Trailhawk is offered exclusively as a 4xe.
Every one of these engines is matched to an eight speed automatic, without exception, across the whole period.
An important point for Quebec buyers: the Canadian Grand Cherokee lineup is four wheel drive only, for the entire period. Two wheel drive versions exist in the United States, not here. A rear wheel drive example is an imported vehicle.
The system names carry over between generations. Quadra-Trac I is full time all wheel drive without low range. Quadra-Trac II adds low range. Quadra-Drive II builds on that with an electronic limited slip rear differential. Quadra-Lift air suspension varies ride height, and the Selec-Terrain selector offers Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand or Mud and Rock modes.
This is probably the widest gap between the two generations. On 2016 and 2017 WK2 examples you get a 5 inch or 8.4 inch touchscreen, with no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Both features arrive for 2018, when the 5 inch screen gives way to a 7 inch unit. Blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic detection became standard across the Canadian lineup from 2019.
The WL plays in another league: Uconnect 5 with an 8.4 or 10.1 inch screen, a fully digital 10.1 inch instrument cluster, a 10.25 inch interactive display for the front passenger, a 10 inch colour head up display, a surround view camera, a night vision camera, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hands free driving arrives for 2024, the Grand Cherokee being the first vehicle in the group to get it. For 2026, the centre screen grows to 12.3 inches and a new 2.0 litre turbocharged Hurricane four cylinder, 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft, joins the lineup.
On audio, the WK2 offered a 9 speaker Alpine and a 19 speaker, 825 watt Harman Kardon. The WL replaces them with a 9 speaker Alpine and a 19 speaker, 950 watt McIntosh.
On both generations, the 3.6 litre V6 is rated up to 2,812 kilograms, or 6,200 pounds, when properly equipped. The 5.7 litre V8, the diesel, the SRT and the Trackhawk climb to 3,265 kilograms, or 7,200 pounds. The 4xe sits at 2,722 kilograms, or 6,000 pounds. In other words, a buyer who needs 7,200 pounds has to look at a V8 or diesel example. Real capacity also depends on the towing equipment fitted, and we always confirm the exact figure for a given unit before purchase.
The Grand Cherokee seats five across two rows. The Grand Cherokee L is longer, adds a third row and carries seven passengers. The L came first, for 2021.
The 3.6 litre Pentastar V6, the 5.7 litre HEMI V8, the 3.0 litre EcoDiesel on the 2016 to 2018 model years, the 6.4 and 6.2 litre V8s of the SRT and Trackhawk, and the 4xe plug in hybrid powertrain from 2022.
Not if it was sold new in Canada. The Canadian lineup is four wheel drive only. A rear wheel drive example would be imported from the United States.
From the 2018 model year, with the Uconnect system and its 8.4 inch screen. The 2016 and 2017 models do not have it from the factory.
Up to 6,200 pounds with the V6, up to 7,200 pounds with the V8 or diesel, and 6,000 pounds for the 4xe, when properly equipped. We confirm the exact capacity of each unit.
It is the older generation carried over one more year as a 2022 model, sold in parallel with the new generation Grand Cherokee. Both wear the same year, but they are two different vehicles.
Standard four wheel drive, ground clearance and the vehicle's weight make it a reassuring choice on snowy roads. Note that four compliant winter tires are mandatory in Quebec from December 1 to March 15.
It is the plug in hybrid version, offered from the 2022 model year. It pairs a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder with two electric motors for a combined 375 horsepower, with roughly 42 kilometres of electric range.
Quadra-Trac II is a two speed four wheel drive system with low range. Quadra-Drive II takes that system and adds an electronic limited slip rear differential, which distributes torque more precisely when a wheel loses grip.
No. The Trailhawk appears for the 2017 model year and continues onto the following generation. Since 2023, it comes exclusively in 4xe plug in hybrid form.
Used only. The SRT was offered through 2021 and the Trackhawk from 2018 to 2021. Neither carried over to the following generation.
Yes. Both of our shops, in Sainte-Marie and Saint-Malachie, are equipped to maintain and repair Jeep vehicles, with factory trained technicians and genuine Mopar parts.
Yes, whatever the brand. The appraisal is done on site, and a trade in can reduce the amount subject to sales tax in Quebec.
