Grand Cherokee
The most significant distinction between these two models comes down to size and passenger capacity. The standard Jeep Grand Cherokee features a two-row configuration that comfortably seats five passengers. Meanwhile, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L extends the platform to accommodate a third row, allowing seating for up to seven passengers.
Grand Cherokee L
Drivers from Sterling Heights, MI, will find the Grand Cherokee L measures 10 inches longer than its standard counterpart, with a wheelbase that's been stretched to create additional interior room. This extra length translates directly into enhanced legroom and cargo capacity.
Exterior Dimensions and Design
Both vehicles share the iconic Jeep design language with bold front grilles, sculpted body lines, and commanding road presence. The Grand Cherokee measures approximately 193 inches in length, while the Grand Cherokee L measures roughly 205 inches. Families in Troy, MI often find this additional length beneficial for accommodating growing children and their gear.
The wider stance and extended proportions of the L model create a more substantial appearance without sacrificing the athletic aesthetics Jeep is known for. Both models feature available two-tone roof options and premium wheel designs that enhance their sophisticated appearance.
Interior Design
Inside the cabin, the differences become even more apparent. The standard Grand Cherokee offers generous cargo space behind the second row, making it ideal for couples or smaller families. Warren, MI, residents who prioritize a balance between passenger comfort and cargo flexibility often gravitate toward this configuration.
The Grand Cherokee L provides a versatile third-row seat that folds flat when not in use. This flexibility allows owners to configure the interior depending on whether they need maximum passenger capacity or additional cargo space. Second-row passengers enjoy sliding and reclining seats that optimize comfort for everyone aboard.
Performance and Capability
As the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L are similar models, they share the same engine. Both models offer the standard 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 293 hp and 260 pounds of torque. The Grand Cherokee also offers a 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain that combines a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with electric motors, delivering 375 combined hp.
Jeep's legendary 4x4 is also available for Macomb, MI, to enjoy, and both models also feature. The available Quadra-Lift air suspension provides up to 10.9 inches of ground clearance for serious off-road adventures.
Technology and Safety Features
The Grand Cherokee lineup features the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with either an 8.4-inch or available 10.1-inch touchscreen display and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. There's also a McIntosh premium audio system available with 19 speakers.
To keep you safe, both models feature advanced driver assistance features including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, active driving assist with lane centering, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system. Drivers from Shelby Township, MI, will also enjoy the Drowsy Driver Detection system and Intersection Collision Assist to help protect their families.
