### Overview:

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-overview-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5lzUB6KCc4CMk7aisQXT27/9f89fb75c2b9939c6061c79e9bf79760/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-overview-image.jpg)

The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a brand-new SUV added to Jeep's lineup for the 2021 model year. It is a three-row midsize SUV, and since this is a Jeep offering four-wheel-drive systems, we would rather describe it as an SUV instead of a crossover. Chrysler's familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine powers all the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L models.

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is essentially a long-wheelbase version of the two-row Grand Cherokee, offering a third row of seats for additional passenger space, added curb weight, and 15.4 inches to the length of the Grand Cherokee. They share simlar powertrains, off-road capability, fuel economy ratings, and features lists. The front row is almost identical between the two SUVs; however, move towards the back of the L, and you will notice more differences.  

The Grand Cherokee L competes against the [Chevrolet Traverse](https://www.autolist.com/chevrolet-traverse), [Dodge Durango](https://www.autolist.com/dodge-durango), [Kia Telluride](https://www.autolist.com/kia-telluride), [Honda Pilot](https://www.autolist.com/honda-pilot), [Ford Explorer](https://www.autolist.com/ford-explorer), [Hyundai Palisade](https://www.autolist.com/hyundai-palisade), [Toyota Highlander](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-highlander), and its cousin, the [Jeep Wagoneer](https://www.autolist.com/jeep-wagoneer).

This three-row SUV is aimed at primarily being used as a luxurious family hauler, offering many convenience features, agreeable on-road demeanor, comfortable seating for up to seven passengers, and loads of safety features. The four-wheel-drive system will appeal to those looking for off-road adventures, while the impressive towing capacity adds more versatility to the vehicle.

### Overall Score: 3.6/5 stars

#### Safety Features: 4/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-safety-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5f66OjZiBOlpMTjAq6KTVx/5f7d0b89c435b83f1a912335ecba2b52/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-safety-image.jpg)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L five out of five stars for its crash safety testing. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has not yet crash-tested the vehicle at the time of writing this review. 

Standard safety features in the Grand Cherokee L include full-speed forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, pedestrian and cyclist detection, rear parking sensors with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. 
Available driver assistance features include a head-up display, traffic sign recognition, night vision assist, intersection assist, surround-view parking camera system, and parallel and perpendicular park assist.

The lineup of safety features is highly responsive and difficult to flaw with how easy the system is to use. The standard list of features is longer than many rivals in its class.

#### Value: 3/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-value-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/o7tDR4sXkBDGzs0RknB5Z/977c804c1c391f536846f4588e937892/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-value-image.jpg)

When looking at the bigger picture of three-row midsize SUVs and crossovers, the Grand Cherokee L comes off as expensive, with features reserved for luxury vehicles. The [Kia Telluride](https://www.autolist.com/kia-telluride) starts from $31,990, for example. The [Toyota Highlander](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-highlander) and [Honda Pilot](https://www.autolist.com/honda-pilot) are also less costly than the Grand Cherokee L. 

Moving up to the higher trim levels, the Grand Cherokee L still supersedes in price compared to the higher trims of its rivals. However, its well-crafted interior fits better among luxury SUVs, giving it a little more bang for the high buck. 

Jeep covers the Grand Cherokee L with a decent warranty for its class. It comes with a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty - the same as the [Dodge Durango](https://www.autolist.com/dodge-durango) but not as lengthy as the [Kia Telluride's](https://www.autolist.com/kia-telluride) warranty.

#### Tech Features: 4/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-tech-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2adF6mfC2nZiLvk3PCO9bA/5eb5ec15de0f0accc62884431a107795/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-tech-image.jpg)

There are few class competitors who have better infotainment systems than the Grand Cherokee L. This SUV utilizes an intuitive Uconnect 5 infotainment interface, which is very user-friendly in every aspect and highly responsive to commands. The Grand Cherokee L outshines with its long list of standard features. 
While the graphics are crisp, the screen is angled upwards and easily reflects glare from direct sunlight.

The standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay make the Jeep Grand Cherokee L's infotainment system one of the best in its class. Unfortunately, the system has a habit of disconnecting calls without warning. 

Other standard infotainment features include an 8.4-inch touch screen, 12 USB ports, satellite radio, HD Radio, Bluetooth, and a six-speaker audio system. Available features include a 10.1-inch touch screen upgrade, navigation, a nine-speaker Alpine stereo, a 19-speaker McIntosh stereo, and wireless device charging.

#### Practicality: 5/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-practicality-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7wPUAqqHMW7NBe78nBcZjM/88f506109277cac52030c5f24ef62f39/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-practicality-image.jpg)

The Grand Cherokee L has an impressive towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. That is higher than most rivals in its class who average at 5,000 pounds. It also overtakes the [Durango's](https://www.autolist.com/dodge-durango) V6 engine's towing capacity of 6,200 pounds but cannot beat its multiple Hemi V8 engines, which boast the highest towing capacity in its class at 8,700 pounds.

The Grand Cherokee L can seat six passengers comfortably across its three rows of seats in its base configuration with center-row captain's chairs for the second-row seats (which also fold out of the way without collapsing so you can still keep a child's seat in the middle row). If you choose the second-row bench seat, it can seat up to seven passengers. 

Setting itself apart from its three-row classmates is its spacious third-row seats, which offer more headroom and legroom than most rivals. They are easy to climb into and out of and we found them easily capable of comfortably fitting even tall adults. 

The cargo space of 17.2 cubic feet behind the third-row seats is average for its class but still falls short of rivals like the [Kia Telluride](https://www.autolist.com/kia-telluride) with 21 cubic feet behind its third-row seats. Still, this 'Ute should be plenty big for families of all sizes. 

Storage for small items is ample throughout the cabin, with plenty of cupholders and spacious center console bins in the first and second rows.

#### Styling & Design: 3.5/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-styling-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1AH3fujLXTf1f8JEg64Y3K/e4d6882590d4584f7098d0ab322de7bd/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-styling-image.jpg)

The exterior design of the new Grand Cherokee L pays homage to its heritage and honors its utilitarian roots. The original Jeep Wagoneer inspires the proportions with a lean profile, low beltline, long hood, and slim LED headlights. The front fascia and grille are also larger than previous Grand Cherokees. 

Unfortunately, the Grand Cherokee L suffers poor forward visibility because of the protruding hood and large pillars. We also wished it looked a little different from the rest of the Grand Cherokee/Wagoneer lineup of SUVs.

The seats in the Grand Cherokee L are comfortable, even in the third-row seats. Cloth seat upholstery is standard on the base Laredo model. Still, all other models get leather to compliment the luxurious cabin, which stands out among rivals in its class with elegant finishes and high-quality materials. 

The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel allow drivers to shift upwards and downwards between gears without taking their hands off the steering wheel. 

The controls are swathed in a glossy piano plastic, and while it complements the interior look, it isn't practical when it attracts grease smudges and feels like an economy car to the touch. The dials are also small to grab, while other buttons are positioned at difficult angles or entirely blocked by other controls; this can make operation a frustrating experience.

#### Driving Experience: 4/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-driving-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4eZvuKHHVZbInCSG54y1RB/de35ea18ae4bbff6b8a813709d022fb4/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-driving-image.jpg)

While driving the Grand Cherokee L, the atmosphere inside the cabin is remarkably quiet. The 293-horsepower V6 engine produces 257 lb-ft of torque, which is excellent for day-to-driving, and the engine felt more robust in our testing than its numbers might suggest. The Hemi V8 engine offers stronger acceleration and a heartier growl to complement its power. 

The Grand Cherokee L may not be as agile as some of its rivals, but it still delivers an impressive ride quality (even over uneven pavements), feels poised around turns, and there isn't too much body roll. Its steering is accurate, while its brakes are highly responsive. 

The Grand Cherokee may not have roaring power like the [Dodge Durango](https://www.autolist.com/dodge-durango), but where it really impresses against rivals is with its incredible off-road capability. The Jeep handles rocky trails, mud, and deep water with ease. The off-road-orientated features include an off-road camera, multiple transfer cases, skid plates, hill descent control, an adjustable air suspension for higher ground clearance, and a limited-slip rear differential. 

The Quadra-lift air suspension, which is standard on all Overland and Summit models, delivers a well-controlled ride while offering up to an extra 4.2 inches of chassis lift. This means it can ford water up to 24 inches in depth.

#### Fuel Efficiency: 2/5 stars

![2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-fuel-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5BTUsPHrQc2DMNkNACt1EL/9c70f7095f12a51d1d89c55d8b557d60/2022-jeep-grand-cherokee-l-fuel-image.jpg)

The Grand Cherokee L gets an EPA estimated 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway with the standard V6 engine and rear-wheel drive. These ratings are average for the midsize SUV class.

If you choose four-wheel drive, then the ratings drop by one mpg (18/25 mpg city/hwy). But in our week of testing -- over 231 total miles of mixed city and freeway driving -- we averaged a palty 16.4 MPG. 

The V8 engine with four-wheel drive gets an EPA estimated 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg in the city.

We will note that having a big, thirsty V6 or V8 engine without any hybrid assistance is a missed opportunity for the automaker. We do hope Jeep will make available on this L model the same 4xe plug-in hybrid model that is on the regular Grand Cherokee version.
