What changed for the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee

2022 is a new generation of the Grand Cherokee, so it's compared with 2021 only where the two overlap.

Compared automatically from the manufacturer's trim feature charts, specification sheets, towing guides and the EPA's fuel-economy data for 2021 and 2022. Equipment isn't compared line by line against the previous generation. Equipment varies by trim and market; confirm details on a specific vehicle.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee at 17–23 MPG combined; the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo + 100 kW motor (4WD) is the most efficient and the 5.7L 8-cylinder (AWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

On electricity: 56 MPGe combined (57 city / 56 highway), 26 miles of electric range, 58 kWh per 100 miles. EPA blended gas-and-electric rating: 34 MPG.

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
Depends on equipment: compact (or limited-use) spare, full-size spare, inflatable spare, or a tire service kit instead of a spare; no spare size has a pressure sensor.
Lug nut torque
130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Specifications, 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

Schedule

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function

Additional Maintenance

  • Replace the cabin air filter

Additional Maintenance
Replace engine air cleaner filter
Replace the cabin air filter
Replace spark plugsThe spark plug change interval is mileage based only, yearly intervals do not apply.
Flush and replace the engine coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km) whichever comes first
Replace accessory drive belt
Inspect accessory drive belt tensioner and pulley, replace if necessary
Change transfer case fluid if using your vehicle for police, taxi, off-road, fleet, or frequent trailer towing
Replace PCV valve

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and parking brake
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
  • Inspect exhaust system
  • Inspect engine air cleaner filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions. Replace the engine air cleaner filter, if necessary

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Suspension: rear: springs: coil springsSeptember 1, 2026 · Campaign 26V562000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE vehicles. The rear coil springs may be incorrectly installed and detach from the vehicle while driving.

Risk: Rear coil springs that detach from the vehicle while driving increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the rear coil spring lower isolators, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed September 29, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Campaign 26V562000 on NHTSA.gov
Power train: automatic transmission: gear position indication (prndl)June 30, 2026 · Campaign 26V413000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2023 Jeep Wagoneer, 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, and Jeep Wagoneer L vehicles.

Great Lakes owner notes

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee against salt, snow and steep grades

We read the 2022 Grand Cherokee owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Michigan driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.

Sidewall height versus broken pavement

Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory 245/70R17 size, a true winter tire on 17-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

The fluids table calls for SAE 5W-30 (2.0L) and SAE 0W-20 (3.6L and 5.7L) at 5 qt (2.0L), 5 to 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L), with synthetic oil in the specification. Synthetic stock copes with both ends of this region's weather, from a subzero start in the Upper Peninsula to a loaded summer climb in the Smokies. Match the exact specification on the filler cap, not just the viscosity.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

A Grand Cherokee left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Drive systems for lake-effect snow

The 2022 lineup includes rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.

Pressure, potholes and the thermometer

Whatever size the Grand Cherokee wears, from the factory 245/70R17 on up, correct inflation is the cheapest pothole defense there is: a soft tire lets the wheel slam into the far edge of the hole. Check pressures when the tires are cold, since a reading taken after a highway run will look high.

Towing to the lake

Peak trailer rating this year: 7,200 lb, for one configuration in the towing chart. On Appalachian grades the descent is the harder half of the trip: drop to a lower gear so the engine holds speed, and save the brakes for stopping. The I-24 grade at Monteagle in Tennessee and the long climbs on the West Virginia Turnpike both punish a heavy trailer. Frequent towing also calls for axle fluid and transfer case fluid service.

Antifreeze for both ends of the year

The system holds 10 qt (2.0L), 10.4 to 11.1 qt (3.6L) and 15 qt (5.7L) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.

Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Michigan to Tennessee.
