Most three-row SUVs ask you to give something up. Car-based crossovers seat seven but can’t handle a gravel road. Body-on-frame SUVs go anywhere but ride like trucks and won’t fit in a parking deck.

The Grand Cherokee L is Jeep’s answer to that: three genuine rows, real 4×4 hardware underneath, and an interior that competes with luxury badges.

Here’s what the 2025 model offers.

Seating and Space

Up to seven passengers across three rows, or six with available second-row captain’s chairs.

The third row is the reason to buy this over the two-row Grand Cherokee, and it’s better than most in the segment — usable for adults on a reasonable drive rather than a kids-only proposition. Second-row seats slide and tilt for third-row access.

Cargo reaches up to 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. More useful day to day is what’s behind the third row with all seven seats up, which handles a grocery run or a few bags without folding anything.

Bring the car seats. Third-row access with a seat installed in the second row is the thing that surprises families, and it’s a five-minute test in our lot. That single check tells you more than any cargo figure.

The Engine

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 producing 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic.

This is the powertrain for the 2025 Grand Cherokee L. The 5.7L HEMI V8 that was previously optional on the L is no longer offered — Jeep phased it out across the Grand Cherokee lineup. If a V8 specifically is what you want, let’s talk about what else is on the lot.

Towing runs up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, which covers a boat, a small camper, or a utility trailer. Confirm the rating on the specific configuration.

If the 4xe plug-in hybrid matters to you, ask us about current Grand Cherokee L availability — that has been changing, and the answer is better from us than from a spec page.

Off-Road Capability

A three-row family SUV that can actually leave pavement is rare, and this is where the L earns the Jeep badge.

Three available 4×4 systems — Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential. Quadra-Drive II is the one that meaningfully changes what the vehicle can do on loose or uneven ground.

Selec-Terrain Traction Management with five modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand.

Available Quadra-Lift Air Suspension raises ride height for clearance, lowers it for easier entry and highway aerodynamics. Around Rome, that means a gravel road to a campsite, a wet field at a ballgame, or a boat ramp — handled without thinking about it.

The air suspension also improves ride quality on rough pavement, which you’ll appreciate far more often than the off-road benefit.

Interior

Premium materials including available Nappa leather, soft-touch surfaces, and real wood accents. The finish quality is genuinely a step above the mainstream three-row segment, and it’s why the L gets cross-shopped against luxury badges costing more.

Uconnect 5 on a 10.1-inch touchscreen, with fast processing, over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and voice controls.

An available 19-speaker McIntosh audio system.

Available heated and ventilated seats, including second-row heating — worth having with kids in the back through a north Georgia summer.

The available CommandView Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof stretches over the second row, which makes a real difference to how open the cabin feels from the back seats.

Exterior

The seven-slot grille, updated but unmistakable. Standard LED headlights, taillights, fog lamps, and daytime running lights. Available roof rails for bikes, kayaks, or a cargo box. Wheels from 18 to 21 inches depending on trim.

The L’s extra length over the two-row model is most noticeable in a parking space, so measure your garage if that’s tight.

Safety and Driver Assistance

• Jeep’s Active Driving Assist — hands-on automated assistance combining adaptive cruise control and lane centering, which takes real fatigue out of a drive to Atlanta
• Available Night Vision — infrared detection of pedestrians and animals ahead, shown in the driver’s cluster. Genuinely useful on unlit roads around Floyd County where deer are a real hazard
• Available 360-degree Surround View Camera — more useful on a vehicle this long than on most
• Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
• Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking

Grand Cherokee L or Something Else?

Two-row Grand Cherokee — same capability and interior, shorter, easier to park, more cargo behind the second row. Right if you don’t need the third row.

Grand Cherokee L — the third row plus the length. Right if you carry more than five people regularly, not occasionally.

Wagoneer — larger still, with more towing capacity and more third-row space. Right if the L feels tight or you tow heavy.

Be honest about how often that third row gets used. If it’s a few times a year, the two-row gives you more usable cargo space for less money, and we’d rather point you there.
