The Grand Cherokee L takes everything drivers like about the Grand Cherokee and adds a third row, a longer wheelbase and more cargo room. It is built for carpools, hockey bags and grandparents on the weekend. DuPage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM at 433 East North Avenue in Glendale Heights helps families across western Chicagoland compare every Grand Cherokee L trim, seating layout and engine.
Browse the Grand Cherokee L inventory above, then use the guides below to choose the right configuration for your family.
Second-row captain’s chairs give six seats and an easy path to the third row, while an available 60/40 bench raises capacity to seven. Higher trims add USB charging for third-row passengers.
The L rides on a 121.7-inch wheelbase, five inches longer than the two-row model. That leaves 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row and 84.6 cubic feet with all rear seats folded.
Choose the 3.6L Pentastar V6 or the 2.0L Hurricane4 turbocharged four-cylinder, which makes 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Both use an eight-speed automatic.
Properly equipped, the Grand Cherokee L tows up to 6,200 lbs. Pair that with available 4×4 and you have a three-row SUV for winter weekends and summer trips to Wisconsin lakes.
The Grand Cherokee L follows the same simplified trim structure as the two-row Grand Cherokee. Packages and engine availability vary by trim and model year, so ask our team about the specific vehicle you are considering.

If you rarely use a third row, the standard Grand Cherokee offers the same engines and towing in a shorter, easier-to-park package for downtown Naperville and Elmhurst.
Need more third-row legroom and cargo space? The full-size Grand Wagoneer steps up in size, comfort and towing for larger families.
For the easiest access to a third row, a minivan’s sliding doors are hard to beat. The Pacifica offers seating for up to eight and available all-wheel drive.

It depends on how often you use the third row and how much cargo you carry. The Grand Cherokee L suits families who want three rows with Jeep capability, while the Grand Wagoneer offers more space and the Pacifica minivan makes third-row access easiest. We can set them up side by side so you can compare.
The Grand Cherokee L seats six with second-row captain’s chairs or seven with the available second-row bench. Captain’s chairs make it easier for kids to reach the third row on their own.
The L adds a third row, a five-inch-longer wheelbase and more overall length for extra cargo space. Both share the same engines and the same 6,200-lb maximum towing rating when properly equipped.
Properly equipped, the Grand Cherokee L tows up to 6,200 lbs with either engine. That covers many small boats and campers; confirm the rating of the specific vehicle before towing.
No. The 4xe plug-in hybrid was offered only on the two-row Grand Cherokee, and Jeep has announced it is phasing out its plug-in hybrids in North America. For better fuel economy, consider the hybrid Jeep Cherokee, a smaller two-row SUV.
Follow your oil change indicator and the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual. Chicago winters, short trips and towing can call for more frequent care, so ask our service advisors about tires, brakes and underbody checks before the snow arrives.
