FYI, Jeep Is Still Selling the Old Grand Cherokee

• The previous-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is still in production, and it's being sold as the 2022 Grand Cherokee WK.

• It's sold alongside the new model, which is codenamed WL and comes in both two-row and three-row Grand Cherokee L models.

• The Grand Cherokee WK starts at $38,575, or $1545 less than the new model.

When is a new car not actually new? When it's a continuation model like the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. This practice of continuing to produce an outgoing generation when the new model is already on sale certainly isn't a new idea, and Stellantis itself did this recently with the Ram 1500 Classic. And when the old one actually offers considerable savings like the Grand Cherokee WK does, it could be worth a look.

The old Grand Cherokee starts at $38,575 for the Laredo E trim level, which is $1545 less than the new two-row 2022 Grand Cherokee Laredo model's base price of $40,120. Both have the same 3.6-liter V-6 engine, although the old WK model has a simplified lineup without the optional 5.7-liter V-8 that's available in the new GC. The new model also offers a 4xe plug-in-hybrid model and a three-row Grand Cherokee L variant.
