TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2022 VW Atlas competes as a thoroughly competent family wagon, but doesn’t stand out in any particular way.

TCC Likes

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

Scads of space
Good warranty
Good safety scores

TCC Dislikes

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

Staid shape
Plain interior
Small base touchscreen
