The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a great choice if you're looking for a large SUV that blends luxury and off-roading prowess. If you need three rows of seats, plenty of cargo storage capacity, and a powerful engine under the hood, you'll struggle to find a better car in Benton than the Grand Cherokee L. At Campbell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR), our sales experts can advise you on the best features available in the Grand Cherokee L, including its cutting-edge infotainment system and key off-roading equipment, such as skid plates and all-terrain tires.
There are two engine options for the Grand Cherokee L that make a significant difference to its performance. If you plan on using your Grand Cherokee L for everyday driving with some off-roading thrown in, the base V-6 engine should be right for you. It puts out 293 horsepower and can reach highway speeds with little effort.
If you plan on pushing your Grand Cherokee L's towing capacities and off-roading talents to their limits, you should opt for the more powerful V-8 engine. It can churn out 357 horsepower and reach the Grand Cherokee L's top towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. Even with the V-6, you can still tow a respectable 6,200 pounds, which should be enough for most midsized campers. In terms of fuel economy, your best setup is the V-6 engine, which gets you 26 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg on city roads.
If you choose the V-8 engine, you get standard four-wheel drive, making your Jeep ready to hit the trails around Arizona.
To get the best off-roading performance from the Grand Cherokee L, you should opt for the Overland trim, which comes with skid plates and a limited-slip rear differential. You can also take advantage of five selectable drive modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand, which change your Jeep's configurations to improve its performance on the relevant surface. The optional air suspension gives you extra ground clearance so you can handle larger obstacles with ease.
The Grand Cherokee L has seating for six people in its standard configuration thanks to the second-row captain's chairs. If you need an extra seat to fit the whole family, you can add a second-row bench seat to boost capacity to seven. Unlike many three-row SUVs, the Cherokee L has enough legroom in the third row for taller passengers to ride comfortably.
The base trim is equipped with cloth upholstery and a power-adjustable driver's seat. You can get access to extra luxuries, such as leather upholstery and heated and ventilated front seats, by moving up the trim ladder. If you opt for the range-topping Summit Reserve trim, you can relax on Palermo leather upholstery and ventilated front and second-row seats.
When it comes to infotainment, the standard setup includes an 8.4-inch screen and a six-speaker stereo. You get a variety of connectivity options, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB ports, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Higher trims include features such as a 10.1-inch touch screen, a nine-speaker stereo, and a navigation system, and the top trim includes an impressive 19-speaker stereo for the highest sound quality. You can also add a rear-seat infotainment system so your kids or friends can watch whatever they want.
Jeep equips the Grand Cherokee L with an array of safety features so that your job behind the wheel is a little easier. Forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and cyclist detection are all designed to help you avoid accidents. If you fail to respond to these alerts quickly enough, the automatic emergency braking system can bring your vehicle to a stop or at least reduce the impact of a collision. Other standard features include lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist.
You can also add optional safety features, including rain-sensing windshield wipers and an off-road camera. The surround-view parking camera provides an aerial view of the Grand Cherokee L so that you can easily maneuver in or out of a parking spot, while the head-up display shows all relevant information on your windshield so you don't need to take your eyes off the road while monitoring your Jeep's performance. A driver attention monitor checks your reactions and other behaviors so that you know when it's time to take a break.
The Grand Cherokee L offers a range of optional configurations to tailor this three-row SUV to your needs. In addition to the two engine options, you can select packages for off-roading, towing, and upgraded infotainment features, and there are also appearance packages available, including the Black Appearance package, which adds black wheels and exterior accents to give your Grand Cherokee L a darker look.
You can talk to our knowledgeable team members at Campbell CDJR to learn about the specific configuration packages on offer. Some packages are only available with specific trims in the lineup, so it's best to speak to an expert to get the Grand Cherokee L that's right for you. Whether it's a range-topping SUV packed with all the luxuries you can imagine or a stripped-down base Grand Cherokee L for family adventures off the beaten track, we're confident we can get you behind the wheel of your perfect ride.
