The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers a rare combination of space, luxury, and off-roading chops
Jeep nailed the big things when it comes to the interior of the Grand Cherokee. The front-row seats seem like they could’ve been pulled out of some swanky lawyer’s office. They feature outstanding adjustable bolstering, an extendable thigh cushion, a massaging function, and exceptional contrast stitching. From those seats, the dash is a blend of cues from the Wagoneer and unique touches. Yes, there is way too much cheap piano black plastic but Jeep has also added real wood trim too.
Not only are they individualized seats but they are supportive, well-positioned, and actually spacious. No Cadillac Escalade, Ford Expedition Max, orI’ve been in can compete on the combination of headroom, legroom, and hip room found in the third row of the Grand Cherokee L. I’m six-foot-six for reference.
Storage behind the third row is solid at 17.2 cubic feet. Of course, that expands to over 80 once the second and third-row seats are folded down. That process is pretty simple too thanks to buttons in the cargo area that drop or raise the third row. You can drop the second-row too but you’ll need to go back up to it to raise it manually. Jeep uses the same 3.6-liter V6 engine as the basis for every Grand Cherokee but there are a couple of optional ones that we didn’t get to test.
The suspension is sometimes compromised too. Some bumps in the road translated more vibration into the cabin than we expected but it’s worth mentioning that they were somewhat few and far between. Generally speaking, the Grand Cherokee felt confidence-inspiring on the road and very comfortable. Of course, the Grand Cherokee has something in its arsenal that few SUVs short of a Land Rover Defender can claim: real off-road capability.
