2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L review
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the latest addition to the iconic SUV family, and it brings a lot of new features and improvements to the table. The most noticeable change is the addition of a third row of seats, which increases the seating capacity to seven passengers. This makes the Grand Cherokee L more versatile and family-friendly than ever before.
The Grand Cherokee L also boasts a new design, with a sleeker and more modern look that still retains the Jeep DNA. The front grille is larger and more prominent, while the headlights and taillights are slimmer and more angular. The body is longer and wider, with more sculpted lines and curves. The interior is also revamped, with a spacious and luxurious cabin that offers plenty of comfort and convenience features. The dashboard features a 10.1-inch touchscreen with the Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driver also gets a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, which can be customized to display various information. The seats are upholstered in leather or Nappa leather, depending on the trim level, and offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The second and third rows can be folded flat to create more cargo space, and there is also an available power-folding feature for the third row.
The Grand Cherokee L is powered by either a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque, or a 5.7-liter V8 engine that delivers 357 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a choice of three four-wheel-drive systems: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, or Quadra-Drive II. The Grand Cherokee L also offers an optional air suspension system that can adjust the ride height and damping according to the driving mode and terrain. The SUV can tow up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped.
The Grand Cherokee L also comes with a host of advanced safety and driver-assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, parking assist, surround-view camera, night vision camera, head-up display, and more. The SUV also has a high-strength steel frame and seven airbags to protect the occupants in case of a crash.
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is expected to hit the dealerships in early 2023, with a starting price of around $38,000 for the base Laredo trim. The other trim levels are Limited, Overland, Summit, Summit Reserve, and Trailhawk. The Grand Cherokee L is a worthy addition to the Jeep lineup, offering more space, style, performance, and technology than ever before.
