2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Review
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a 3-row version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Jeep developed this extended wheelbase version of the Grand Cherokee to better accommodate the needs of families. Many drivers love the Grand Cherokee but require more than two rows of space. Our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L review will fill you in on some differences and similarities between the L and the regular version of the Grand Cherokee.
At Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR), we’re also happy to let you test drive this 3-row Jeep around Worcester, Auburn, or Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.
Jeep Grand Cherokee L: How Much More Room Does This SUV Provide?
The regular Jeep Grand Cherokee is a practical model you can use for various purposes. Where the Jeep Grand Cherokee L comes into play is for families who need that third row or anyone looking for an abundance of cargo room.
No matter where passengers sit, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is going to provide generous proportions. The legroom measures 41.3 inches in the front, 39.4 inches in the middle row, and 30.3 inches in the very back. A tall roof leads to 39.8 inches of front headroom, 39.9 inches of headroom in the middle row, and 37.3 inches in the third row.
Measurements such as hip room also create ample space:
- 57.4 inches of front hip room
- 56.3 inches of middle hip room
- 42.9 inches of rear hip room
Total passenger volume measures 152 cubic feet. In terms of cargo, you can store between 17.2 cubic feet of goods behind the third row and as much as 84.6 cubic feet of belongings when the second and third rows are folded down!
Jeep Grand Cherokee L: Typical Grand Cherokee Power and Capability
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a highly capable SUV you can take off-roading or strap a trailer onto for a long road trip.
The towing capacity peaks at a hefty 7,200 pounds. This towing comes courtesy of the available 5.7L V8 engine.
If you travel off the beaten path to your favorite cabin in the woods, the Grand Cherokee L will get you there in comfort thanks to the Jeep® Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. This system allows you to choose from the following drive modes whenever you see fit:
- Auto
- Sport
- Rock
- Snow
- Mud/Sand
There are plenty more features to discover on the test drive, too. For example, the Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension uses electronic adaptive dampers to automatically lower the vehicle at highway speeds, improving efficiency. The SUV can be raised to 10.9 inches for improved ground clearance over rocks.
And if a creek stands in your way, you’ll be able to ford it up to 24 inches in depth!
