Jeep ready with 3-row SUV

JEEP IS set to get a few three-row SUVs in the next few years, and the Grand Cherokee three-row seen here looks like it’ll be ready to join the truck-based Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. This model will likely be similar to the current Durango in size and compete head-on with models such as the Toyota Highlander and Ford Explorer in the US market. The new three-row Grand Cherokee will get the new platform being designed for Jeep that’s based on the Giorgio platform used on Alfa Romeo models. It’s set to receive both the current model’s 3.6-litre Pentastar

V6 that will likely be updated and a new 3.0litre inline six that will be turbocharged and also receive a mild hybrid system, effectively replacing the 5.7-litre Hemi V8. A plug-in hybrid and turbo-diesel models are expected to follow given they’re confirmed for the Grand

Cherokee. It is unclear how off-road capability will be compromised by a longer rear overhang, but it’s expected that at least one variant will be “Trail Rated.” Expect to see the Jeep Grand Cherokee 3-row sometime in 2021.
