If you’ve got a larger family, we’d suggest choosing the Grand Cherokee L. The seat count is upgraded to a total of seven, easily accommodating a combination of car seats, pets, and passengers. When it's not filled with guests, the third row can be used for extra storage. With the third row folded down, the maximum cargo volume measures an impressive 46.9 cubic feet.

That doesn’t mean the Grand Cherokee is a lesser option. In fact, far from it. There’s still tons of room to hold all your gear, with an impressive 37.7 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row.

Here’s another factor to consider. Without the third row, the exterior length of the Grand Cherokee is 193.5 inches—significantly shorter than the Grand Cherokee L’s 204.9 inches. If you’re looking for a vehicle that’s great for maneuvering on tight city streets, the Grand Cherokee might be the way to go.

These Jeep SUVs can have one of three engines under the hood:

• 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine: 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque
• 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine: 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque
• 2.0L Plug-In Hybrid engine: 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque

With the choice of a gas-powered engine or a plug-in hybrid variant, you can easily find the model that best suits your needs. So, whether you’ve got a need for speed, a knack for eco-conscious efforts, or both, you can easily find a balance of power and efficiency in either model.

You can go just about anywhere in the Grand Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee L, especially when you have these available adaptive features on board:

• Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System - switch among Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, Mud/Sand modes with a twist of the dial
• Quadra-Lift® Suspension - automatically lowers the vehicle at highway speeds to increase aerodynamics or raises the vehicle to clear off-road obstacles
• Three 4x4 Systems - Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II®, and Quadra-Drive® II for all-weather and all-terrain capability

Both vehicles come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. Simply connect your compatible device to effortlessly send and receive text messages, listen to your favorite podcasts, and much more—directly from your vehicle.

If you prefer to be more hands-on with your commute, the Grand Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee L have screens (yes, plural!) for you to play with:

Both Grand Cherokee models continue to roll out the red carpet with an available wireless charging pad, a premium McIntosh® sound system with 19 speakers, a rear-seat monitoring camera, and a digital rearview mirror. Everywhere you look, you’ll find technology from the heart of innovation.
