2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Release Date – Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the first midsize SUV with three rows to be offered by the Jeep brand. Although it is more expensive, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a confident and comfortable ride. The 2024 Grand Cherokee L is back with only minimal updates in its third sales year.
Review
Jeep Grand Cherokee L adds a 3rd row and 11.4″ to the Grand Cherokee’s formula. This means more space and comfort for your entire family.
Grand Cherokee L has a refined interior. Even without air suspension, the ride is excellent. The V6 is preferred by some editors, but both powertrains have their place. The upper trims feature a wealth of technology and are covered in luxurious materials. Grand Cherokee L offers the most off-roading capability of any three-row SUV.
This family hauler is not perfect in some areas. The interior design is beautiful, but the layout of the buttons can be frustrating. The adaptive cruise control can be confusing and the lane-keeping assist has become outdated. Third-row seats only two.
These are minor issues, but the cost makes them worse. Grand Cherokee L is priced higher than its competitors, including polished favorites such as the Kia Telluride. Buyers who take three-row SUVs legitimately off-road may find the extra cost worth it. The Jeep was ranked third in a test of pricing against the Telluride SUV and Toyota Highlander.
In a recent comparison against the Kia Telluride X-Pro 2023, the Jeep won despite the high price. The Grand Cherokee L was the winner of a test against the Ford Explorer. However, it did not do well in the bigger segment. Grand Cherokee L, for buyers with a budget, is an excellent family SUV.
Grand Cherokees of the new generation has not yet been tested by the IIHS or the NHTSA.
Jeep equipped the Grand Cherokee L with a complete safety kit. All of the safety equipment is included as standard. This includes automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Jeep has a lot of tech but its driver assistance system isn’t quite as advanced as other car manufacturers.
A parking assistant and a Level 2 semi-autonomous highway assistance system are available as optional extras.
Interior
Although the Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a large size for its class, it does not make the best use of the available space. Kia Telluride is smaller but offers greater cargo space and legroom for all three rows.
Grand Cherokee L comes standard with an 8.4-inch touchscreen that runs Jeep’s Uconnect 5. Limited and Overland models will receive a larger, 10.1-inch touchscreen with navigation in 2024. Wireless charging, smartphone compatibility, and Wi-Fi are all included in both systems.
The Grand Cherokee L trim level can also be upgraded to include a head-up display, a 9- or 19-speaker audio system, seatback screens, and an infotainment screen on the passenger’s side.
The 2024 Grand Cherokee L, however, is an exception. This Jeep’s interior is one of the best in its class. The interior is made of durable, high-quality material. Some higher trims feature wood trim or genuine leather. The cabin is also quiet, as road noise and wind noise are minimal.
Grand Cherokee L comes with Uconnect, a touchscreen infotainment unit that features crisp graphics with intuitive menus. There are several buttons on the dashboard you can use while driving. Wireless smartphone integration is also available on all models.
Features of the standard infotainment system include an 8.4″ touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth. There are also USB ports and a WiFI hotspot, six speakers, HD radio, and satellite radio.
Infotainment options include a 9.2-inch touchscreen, rear seat entertainment, wireless charging of devices, navigation, nine-speaker audio, 19-speaker audio, and an interactive front passenger display that has a 10.25-inch touchscreen.
Other standard features include a digital 10.25″ instrument cluster with tri-zone climate control and keyless entry, as well as a push-button start.
Additional features include a sunroof with a panorama and automatic quad-zone climate control.
Engine
Although the Grand Cherokee L is a new design, its engine, and transmission are outdated. The base engine is a V-6 3.6-liter with 293 horsepower and torque of 260 lb.-ft. A V-6 Grand Cherokee L in our tests went from 0-60 in about 7.3 seconds. This is average for this class. Fuel economy with rear-wheel drives is less than average at 19/26 miles per gallon on the highway and city. The cost of all-wheel drive is higher and the efficiency drops to 18/25mpg.
Upgrades include a 5.7-liter V-8 engine with 357 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. This reduces 60-mph acceleration to just 6.1 seconds and increases the vehicle’s towing capability to 7,200 lbs. The Grand Cherokee L only gets 14/22 miles per gallon with the V-8.
The transmissions are eight-speed for both engines. Overland Summit and Summit Reserve models are equipped with 4WD advanced systems that allow for rock-hopping and mud-crawling. 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Release Date
