The old Grand Cherokee “WK2” will live on, at least in Canada, according to Mopar Insiders; it appears in the jeep.ca Build and Price system, and dealers told the site that it would indeed continue. The models will be Laredo, Altitude, Limited, and Limited X; the Laredo starts at C$50,445 (Canadian dollars).
The reason is not to keep Jeeps with 392 or Hellcat engines; none has so much as a 5.7 Hemi. They are all equipped with the Pentastar V6, instead. Chances are the issue is not having sufficient semiconductors for a full run of the newer Grand Cherokee model, or a desire to keep a relatively low-priced, value vehicle for thrifty Canadians. The latter would echo the Ram 1500 Classic.
The same assembly line produces Dodge Durangos, which have also been confirmed for 2022.

David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
