The Jeep Grand Cherokee WG, a model produced between 2002 and 2004, represents a transitional phase for the iconic SUV. While it retained the rugged, off-road capable qualities associated with Jeep, it also introduced new styling, interior amenities, and powertrain options. The WG generation, featuring a more rounded design than its predecessors, showcased a modern aesthetic with smoother lines and a larger grille. This generation also introduced a new, more sophisticated interior with upgraded materials and features. Notably, the WG offered a range of engine options, including the 4.0L inline-six and the 4.7L V8, providing a balance between fuel efficiency and power. However, the most significant shift came with the introduction of the 5.7L Hemi V8 engine in 2003, a powerful option that cemented the Grand Cherokee's reputation for performance.
The 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee WG remained a capable off-roader, built on a rugged frame and boasting a robust four-wheel-drive system. It offered a variety of trim levels, allowing customers to tailor their vehicle to their preferences, from the basic Laredo to the luxurious Limited and the off-road-focused Overland. This generation also incorporated advanced safety features for its time, including anti-lock brakes, traction control, and optional side airbags. Despite its strong foundation, the WG generation brought some challenges. The 4.0L engine was known for its durability, but issues with its transmission and other components became commonplace. The 4.7L V8, while powerful, exhibited reliability issues. The introduction of the Hemi V8 proved highly successful, but its fuel efficiency remained a concern for some users. While the Jeep Grand Cherokee WG wasn't without its flaws, it remained a popular choice for those seeking a versatile, capable SUV that could handle both urban driving and off-road adventures.
