2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L: Choosing the Right Trim

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L gets a new look with a longer cabin featuring a third-row seat. As such, the Grand Cherokee L competes directly with the Toyota Highlander, Chevrolet Traverse, and Honda Pilot, none of which can match the Jeep when it comes to off-road ability.

The Grand Cherokee L takes Jeep luxury to a new level, with the look and quality of a far more expensive SUV. However, in the area of engine technology, those seeking a hybrid or plug-in option will have to stick with the competition.

The Grand Cherokee L derives power from a 3.6-liter V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is the standard layout for most trims, with two different 4-wheel-drive systems (4WD) and a V8 engine as options.
