What Do You Want To Know About The Jeep Grand Cherokee L?
What Do You Want To Know About The Jeep Grand Cherokee L?-April 2024

I drove the Jeep Grand Cherokee L a whole bunch over the weekend, and I’ve got a lot of thoughts. But, before I put together my second review, I want to know what you want to know.

Let’s get a few things out of the way: it’s big – really big, it’s very comfy, it seats four people perfectly for a long trip, and it gets really not great gas mileage.

This truck is also expensive. It stickers at $67,090, but for that price, you do get a lot. In fact, the 2021 Grand Cherokee L I drove was pretty much fully loaded, other than not having the 5.7 Hemi V8 engine. This truck has to make do with the Stellantis’s corporate 3.6 V6 engine – which in all honesty is enough. Good thing it’s enough to power the big brute too – because I got some pretty terrible gas mileage.

That terrible gas mileage was achieved primarily on the highway between New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Those are three places where the Grand Cherokee L doesn’t fit in any meaningful way. We’ll get more into that later – but for now, let’s just say thank God for surround-view cameras.

The GC L has a few main competitors – primarily from GM’s quadruplets: the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse and Cadillac XT6. The car presents an interesting issue size-wise since it is the “L.” Keep in mind, the regular Grand Cherokee has its own list of competitors that do and don’t cross over with the L.

Anyway, I don’t want to give that much away yet – but I do have a lot of thoughts on this car. Some good, some bad. It does a lot well, but I can’t help but see it as a rather confusing vehicle.

So, let me know what you want to know, and I’ll do my best to answer you.

At $16,999, Could This 1999 Porsche 911 Cabriolet Have You Saying “It’s a Wrap?”
Today’s Porsche comes with a litany of maintenance and upgraded parts—including a shiny new IMS—all wrapped up in a bright blue vinyl topcoat. We’ll have to see if the work and the price makes this a 911 you should get to know. The we looked at yesterday represented a...

The Cheapest 2019 Jetta Is Better Than the Fastest Jetta
Not too long ago, I got to drive one of Volkswagen’s and, sure, it was a lot of fun. It’s a good reminder of why sports sedans exist. But here’s a filthy little secret for you: I also drove the base-spec, manual Jetta, the cheapest car Volkswagen will sell...

While you may never have heard of Kellison, you assuredly know of the GT40. Today’s contender is the former that looks like the latter. Let’s see if this propane-powered kit car’s price has you giving it a second look. As noted by many of you, yesterday’s had a very...

At $9,000, Could This 2003 Infiniti M45 Prove Endless in its Possibilities?
Today’s M45 is a model that, in its home marke,t was sold as the Nissan Gloria. Let’s see if this rare Infiniti’s price makes it a glorious deal here. You know, I built a lot of kit cars when I was a kid. Not the kind you could drive,...
