2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Features Price Specs

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L fits into the midsize SUV segment, offering a roomier third row than most of its competitors.

Even adults can fit in the back row, and the optional second-row captain’s chairs make it easier to get back there. The starting MSRP for this vehicle is $38,720. Jeep offers this SUV in six trim levels that range in price.

All six trim levels come standard with the same powertrain, which includes a 3.6-liter V-6 engine. It produces 290 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

If that’s not enough power for you, the upper three trim levels are available with an optional 5.7-liter V-8 engine rated at 357 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. In order to include that engine, the SUV must include Jeep’s four-wheel-drive system, which only comes standard on the top trim. The V-8 works with the same eight-speed automatic transmission.

When equipped with the base V-6 engine, a front-wheel-drive Grand Cherokee L returns an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, or 22 mpg combined. A four-wheel-drive model’s estimates come in just slightly lower at 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway or 21 mpg combined. With the V-8 engine, the EPA fuel economy estimates come in at 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.

Jeep offers several versions of its four-wheel-drive system, which it bundles into packages named Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II. The Quadra-Trac I package includes four-wheel drive with a single-speed transfer case, while Quadra-Trac II includes a two-speed transfer case that offers low-range gearing to boost traction and neutral mode capability. The Quadra-Drive II system is similar to Quadra-Trac II but includes a fully automatic high-range four-wheel-drive system.

The Grand Cherokee L can also tow a substantial load, putting it ahead of most of its competitors in this area. When equipped with the standard V-6 engine and the right equipment, this SUV can tow up to 6,200 pounds. Upgrading to the V-8 engine increases the towing capacity to 7,200 pounds.

By adding a three-row SUV to its lineup, Jeep can reach a wider audience, including buyers with larger families or who need additional seating to transport passengers. The Grand Cherokee L doesn’t skimp when it comes to off-road capabilities or performance, but it can be equipped with appealing comfort and tech options that put it in line with some of the luxury brands.

With the base model, standard safety equipment includes air bags throughout the three rows of seating, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with predictive brake assist, electronic stability control with anti-roll technology, and advanced traction control.

Jeep also includes rear parking sensors, an engine immobilization system, blind-spot monitoring, and forward-collision mitigation as standard.

The higher trims are available with additional safety features. With the Summit trim, an automated parking system, limited hands-free driving capabilities, and a surround-view camera come standard. Some of these features are also available as standalone options on the lower trim levels.

The cabin is one of the more spacious in the segment, offering plenty of room for passengers of all sizes. The base trim comes with cloth upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. You can also get enhanced comfort options like leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated second-row seats, and ambient interior lighting.

On the tech side, the base Laredo trim includes a six-speaker audio system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, an 8.4-inch touch screen, and a digital gauge cluster display. The Altitude adds wireless device charging, while the Limited has a premium sound system. Navigation and a further upgraded audio system come standard on the Overland. At the top of the list, the Summit Reserve boasts an interactive display screen for the passenger, a 10.1-inch touch screen, and a premium 19-speaker McIntosh audio system.

The six trim levels of the Grand Cherokee L are Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. Standard exterior features include LED headlights, roof rails, and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The Altitude is a bit sportier in appearance with glossy-black accents and matching 20-inch wheels, along with a power-operated liftgate. The Limited trim tacks on remote engine start and LED fog lights.

If you plan to take your SUV off-roading, the Overland has some of the rugged features you want, such as front tow hooks and underbody skid plates. This model is also available with the Quadra-Lift adaptive air suspension with adjustable ride height settings. With the Summit trim, you get a glossy-black roof that helps it to stand out on the road.
