Comparing the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L

When it comes to choosing a capable and comfortable SUV, Jeep has long set the standard—and the Grand Cherokee is no exception. But now there’s another option in the mix: the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, a three-row SUV built for families, road trippers, and anyone who just wants a little more space. So how does it stack up against the already-impressive standard Grand Cherokee? Let’s break it down.

Seating That Fits Your Life

The most noticeable difference between the two? Seating. The standard Jeep Grand Cherokee offers space for five passengers, making it perfect for couples, small families, or solo drivers who like to stretch out. The Grand Cherokee L, on the other hand, adds a third row to accommodate up to six people. It’s a welcome upgrade if you’ve got a growing family or often find yourself playing chauffeur for friends or gear.

Stretch Out and Load Up

More seating means more space overall, and the Grand Cherokee L delivers. With its extended length and longer wheelbase, passengers enjoy generous legroom in all three rows. Plus, you get 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space even with all seats up—great for everyday errands. Fold down the second and third rows, and that number jumps to a whopping 84.6 cubic feet. That’s the kind of room that makes weekend adventures or big Costco runs a breeze.

Same Power, Bigger Playground

Performance is key with any Jeep, and both models share similar engine options. You’ll find powerful V6 and V8 configurations in both the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L, giving you plenty of muscle for highway cruising or off-road fun. Just keep in mind that the Grand Cherokee L’s extra size can affect its turning radius slightly—but for most drivers, the added interior room more than makes up for it.

Elevated Comfort and Tech

Inside, both models are loaded with comfort and convenience features. Available upgrades like leather seating, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, and premium sound systems give your cabin a luxury feel. The Grand Cherokee L adds even more refinement with available features like a panoramic sunroof and enhanced driver-assist technologies designed to make every drive smoother and safer.

Safety Comes Standard

Whether you choose the Grand Cherokee or the Grand Cherokee L, you’re getting a full suite of advanced safety tech. Adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and more help keep you and your passengers protected. For those who find city parking a challenge, select trims even offer an available hands-free parking system.
