Powertrain Options and Availability
Initial Grand Cherokees came only with a 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, which developed 190 horsepower (185 in '96 and '97). A 220-horsepower V8 went into the Grand Wagoneer, introduced later in the 1993 model year. When that model was dropped in '94, it became optional for all 4WD Grand Cherokee models. Not until '97 did 2WD models get the V8. In 1998, Jeep introduced the limited-edition 5.9 Limited model. It held a 5.9-liter V8 that made 245 horsepower. Depending on model, Grand Cherokees might have any of three 4-wheel-drive systems; or 2-wheel drive, introduced during 1993. Torque output from the V8 grew from 285 to 300 pound-feet in 1995. Command-Trac disappeared after 1995.
