2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L SUV Price, Review, Ratings and Pictures

For ages, Jeep Grand Cherokee owners have complained about the SUV not offering a third row of seating, making it less practical than many of its competitors. Jeep decided to answer and fix this issue by introducing a new generation of the model along with a new variant called the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The wheelbase of this SUV is 121.7 inches, which enables a third row and the same assortment of options that customers enjoy on the regular variant of the car. Although the V6 engine for a vehicle this size is a little unimpressive and the outside visibility is limited, the SUV is nonetheless one of the more off-road capable in its class. Since the car is still relatively new, don't anticipate any significant alterations for the 2023 model year.

Expert Review, Pricing Analysis and Buying Guide

The Grand Cherokee L will start at a price of $41,395 and go all the way up to $68,550 for the top-spec model that comes standard with 4WD while it’s a $2,000 option on the other trims. The SUV positions itself against rivals like the Kia Telluride, the GMC Acadia, and the Volkswagen Atlas. By midsize SUV standards, the rear seats are quite spacious, so it should be easy to convince passengers who are up to nearly 6 feet tall to sit in the very back. The Grand Cherokee L can be configured to carry 7 or 6 occupants depending on whether the captain seats have been opted for the second row.


Features

7.5/10

The Grand Cherokee L is available in the Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trim levels. A 3.6-liter V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque is standard on all models. On the Overland and Summit models, a 5.7-liter V8 engine with 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque is an option. However, in order for the V8 to be an option, your vehicle must be 4WD. An 8-speed automatic transmission comes default across all trims. The Grand Cherokee L has heated power side mirrors with built-in turn signals and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels. Additionally, it boasts LED headlights, deep-tinted rear privacy glass, and windshield and door glass with acoustic lamination. Without the key fob in your hand, Jeep's Keyless Enter-N-Go system enables push-button starting and door locking/unlocking. The optional 4WD system is segregated into Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II, which vary from one another by offering a single-speed transfer case, a two-speed transfer case with low range, and a fully automatic high-range 4WD system.

We Recommend

The Limited 4x4 variant is our top pick because the price of the Grand Cherokee L can increase quickly as you move through the trim levels. It has the ideal balance of standard features and reasonable pricing. In addition to a practical power liftgate, the Limited includes leather seats and several interior and exterior lighting enhancements. Additionally, we've decided to go with the four-wheel drive because the default traction management settings will be useful for an active off-road weekend.

Release Date

Jeep is all set to bring out the Grand Cherokee L at the end of 2022 but official dates haven’t been revealed. Users have already gotten the taste of the vehicle as there aren’t any changes made to it for the upcoming year.

Engine and Performance

7.5/10

Even if the V6 engine is likable enough on its own, a huge car like this one frequently makes it feel overworked. It took the Jeep 7.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph, which is slow for the class. We have concerns about the brake pedal's lack of input as well as how light and loose the steering feels. Positives include the automatic transmission's eight smoothly shifting speeds, which add to a comfortable and carefree driving experience. A three-row SUV that is 17 feet long may only have limited capability, but the Grand Cherokee L makes the most of what it can. The four-wheel-drive technology aids in maximizing traction in slippery conditions. Even though it's not exactly an off-road beast like the Jeep Wrangler, this seven-passenger SUV can take you deeper into the woods than most others. For the ones seeking a much more potent engine, there is a 5.7L Hemi V8 that churns out 375 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, but this engine can only be opted if your Grand Cherokee L has a 4WD system on it.

The Kia carries the biggest engine here but that doesn’t stop the Jeep from making more power. However, the table is dominated by the GMC as it puts out the best power and timing, both in terms of 0-60 as well as quarter-mile timings. The AWD comes standard on the Jeep and can be configured as a 4WD vehicle right from the base trim with certain limitations for each trim level. The Quadra-Trac I is reserved for Laredo, Altitude, and Limited while the Quadra-Trac II is given to rugged Overland trim. The Summit series get the Quadra-Drive II with an electronic limited-slip differential.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Ride and Handling

In addition to being stable around curves, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is comfortable going in a straight line. In most cases, having good off-road capability means sacrificing on-road comfort, but not in this case. Due to the Jeep's smooth ride, the occupants won't have much to complain about either traveling locally or over large distances.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Braking Performance

Getting a vehicle to stop within a safe distance is very important regardless of its size and for this mammoth of an SUV, Jeep has rolled the Grand Cherokee L out with automatic emergency braking as standard. The pedal does feel slightly to be on the softer side but the wheels carry brakes big enough to get the vehicle to a complete stop from 60 mph in 141 feet. Considering the sheer size and mass of this vehicle, there is no surprise that it takes a long distance to stop.

Despite having the largest brakes, the Jeep stops the last and most of it has to do with the weight of the vehicle. Surprisingly, Volkswagen being the second heaviest vehicle here takes the least amount of distance to completely stop.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

The Grand Cherokee L earns an EPA of 21 mpg combined with its 4WD and V6 engine, which is typical for a midsize three-row SUV. But things aren't the same with the V8 as you pay a price. It only has 4WD and has a combined EPA estimate of 17 mpg. A major advantage the Jeep has is a massive 24.6-gallon gas tank that lets it run out of fuel less often than its rivals.

All the SUVs expect Volkswagen put out similar EPA figures but the Jeep Grand Cherokee L has the best total range and it carries a much larger tank than all its rivals. The Jeep can cover a total of 516 miles in combined drive conditions without needing to stop for fuel breaks.

Interior

7.0/10

The interior of the Grand Cherokee L is very spacious. There should be enough room for drivers of all sizes in the front, while the second and third rows are likewise spacious enough for occupants up to 6 feet tall. The vehicle's high ride height makes it difficult to enter, but a handy tilt-and-slide second row makes it simple to reach the third-row seats. Standard features include a power-adjustable driver's seat and cloth upholstery. A heated steering wheel, heated front seats, heated and ventilated rear seats, heated and massaging rear seats, and leather upholstery are available extras. The higher trims, especially the Summit Reserve trim, are clearly luxury SUVs due to its Palermo leather upholstery, massaging front seats, and McIntosh 19-speaker premium audio system. However, whichever model you choose, you'll get a roomy, feature-rich family SUV. With numerous cup-holders and roomy center console bins in the first and second rows, there is enough storage space for little objects if needed.

The Jeep sure does offer a great cabin as well as cargo space but the rivals offer an equally spacious layout. The Volkswagen Atlas takes a massive lead in terms of cargo space with a total of 96.8 cu-ft of storage area with the second and third-row seats folded.

Some standout interior features on the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L include

  • Cloth/Leather upholstery
  • Wood and leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Heated front seats with memory function
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 50-50 split third-row seats
  • Dual-pane sunroof

How intuitive is the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L infotainment system?

The infotainment on the Grand Cherokee L runs on the latest Uconnect 5 which keeps the operation flawless. The optional integrated navigation system offers helpful turn-by-turn trip instructions and has clear graphics. Unfortunately, because of the screen's upward tilt, glare from the sun is easily reflected. The optional McIntosh surround-sound system with 19 speakers was not impressive, especially given how much the system cost. The family-friendly nature of this 3-row SUV is further enhanced with an available rear entertainment system. There is always something to watch thanks to the device's two 10.1-inch screens and Amazon Fire TV integration. This comes optional on the Limited trim and above.

Some of the standout infotainment features on the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L are

  • 19-speak McIntosh speaker system
  • Voice-activated navigation system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless charging
  • 10.1-inch touchscreen
  • Second-row entertainment screens

Exterior


The Jeep Grand Cherokee L boasts an elegant and tough design that fits its character. Unmistakably Jeep, that's the appearance. The Overland trim has a more musclebound front fascia with tow hooks, while the upper trims have finer wheels and more chrome, giving them a more opulent appearance. Compared to the regular Grand Cherokee, the only major design feature that sticks out is the elongated side profile. The SUV gets heated side mirrors with roof rails and a sunroof as optional features. Since the jeep line-up received a completely new design in 2021, there haven’t been changes made to the vehicle since it’s still relatively new.

The Jeep has the best ground clearance, making it more off-road ready than its rivals but the Grand Cherokee L turns out to be the shortest vehicle here. The Volkswagen Atlas measures a massive 198.3 inches in terms of total length, making it the longest SUV. This sure does make it a much more difficult vehicle to maneuver when compared to the Jeep.

Some of the standout exterior features include

  • LED foglights
  • Roof rails
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power and heated exterior mirror
  • Power liftgate
  • Automatic headlamps

Safety


Jeep provides active driving assist standard on the Summit models and standard on the overland trim which is a semi-autonomous driving system, making it easier and safe for the drivers to maneuver the car in various situations. There are no crash test ratings available for the SUV, but the amount of safety tech and features clearly suggest that Jeep was serious when it comes to making the vehicle safe.

Some of the standout safety features available with the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L are

  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Blind-spot monitor
  • 360-degree camera
  • Rear parking sensor
  • Lane keep assist
  • Perpendicular parking assist

Competition


2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs 2023 Kia Telluride

The Kia Telluride is a more urban-looking SUV with an equally large cabin as the Jeep. The Kia also offers a slightly better fuel economy but the larger tank on the Jeep makes it the better tourer. Also, if you intend to tackle some off-road, the Jeep definitely is the better choice. However, the Telluride feels slightly more responsive and agile behind the wheel.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs 2023 GMC Acadia

The GMC Acadia straight up feels like a more premium vehicle and despite having a similar engine configuration, the Acadia makes more power which helps it feel more lively and fun to drive. The Jeep does offer a rugged and utilitarian design but overall, the GMC has the upper hand.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs 2023 Volkswagen Atlas

The Volkswagen Atlas is the largest SUV here, making it offer the largest passenger and cargo space. The SUV also puts out more power than the Jeep but this takes a toll on its gas mileage. However, the Jeep is a much more feature-rich SUV and feels like a much more updated vehicle than the VW. Both these SUVs go neck and neck against each other but the Jeep does feel more practical, especially when traveling long distances.

Final Verdict


Despite being a carry-over model, the Grand Cherokee L still feels fresh and updated with its tough looks and practical layout. Jeep has managed to balance out both on-road as well as off-road performance, making it a very versatile SUV. With two potent engine options, buyers are given the freedom to pick what suits their needs and character. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is undoubtedly one of the best off-road orient 7 passenger SUVs available on the market today.
