TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s iconic appeal evolves with more efficient engine options.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class doesn’t compromise on interior space or in performance, though the V-8s are taking a year off.

TCC Likes

Plug-in hybrid option
Three engine options
7,200-lb towing capacity

Terrific performance
Supremely comfortable ride
High-tech features

TCC Dislikes

Front end styling can be controversial
Front passenger screen?
Wagoneer or Grand Cherokee L?

Skip that third row
No V-8s this year
Opulence has a cost
