2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Review

Name: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
Brand: Jeep

Price Range: $22,888 - $47,998

Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4dr SUV Exterior. Black Package Shown.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L supplies generous room for passengers in all three rows, and it outmatches competitors by a significant margin with its available off-road and towing capabilities. But there are problems with its on-road demeanor, and that makes the Grand Cherokee L a less livable three-row SUV than some of its rivals.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Ronald Montoya

2/7/2022

Jeep introduced its redesigned Grand Cherokee SUV last year by first debuting a spinoff version, the Grand Cherokee L. The L is longer than the regular Grand Cherokee and uses that length to make room for a third row of seating. (The standard Grand Cherokee has only two rows.) This puts it in the same class of midsize SUVs such as the Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot and Volkswagen Atlas.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is available in a six- or seven-seat configuration and features a second row that can slide 7 inches to make room for third-row passengers. Rear seating is pretty roomy by midsize SUV standards, and you should have little trouble persuading passengers up to about 6 feet tall to make their way to the very back.

Interior roominess joins other positive traits such as an available V8 engine that provides stout towing power and above-average off-road ability. But there are a few issues that prevent it from reaching the top of its class. Take a look at our Expert Rating below to get our test team's take on how the Grand Cherokee L measures up.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Ryan ZumMallen

Average

7.5

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Grand Cherokee L drive? We tested the Grand Cherokee L with its base 3.6-liter V6 engine (Jeep offers its muscular 5.7-liter V8 engine in top trims). The V6 is a likable enough engine on its own, but it often feels overworked in a vehicle this big. At Edmunds' test track, our test vehicle accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds, which is slow for the class. We also have reservations about the light, loose steering feel and lack of feedback from the brake pedal. Upsides include smooth shifts through all eight gears of the automatic transmission that contribute to a comfortable and relaxed driving experience.

Of course, this is a Jeep. And though there's only so much capability you can have with a three-row SUV that's 17 feet long, the Grand Cherokee makes the most of what it has. The four-wheel-drive system helps make the most out of slippery situations. This isn't quite a Range Rover, but it'll get you farther into the woods than most other seven-passenger SUVs.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Grand Cherokee L? Comfort is a strong suit of the Grand Cherokee L. Its long wheelbase and optional air suspension create a cushy ride that absorbs bumps in the road before they make it to passengers inside. It does this without feeling floaty or losing its composure. The leather seats in our Summit test vehicle also proved impressive, with an available massage function in the front row and pleasing comfort in the second and third rows.

This big SUV can't keep noise out of the cabin the way it does with bumps in the road, however. We noticed more wind noise at highway speeds than we expect from this class, and the V6 engine was loud and sounded unpleasant when pushed.

Interior

7/10

How’s the interior? There is loads of space inside the Grand Cherokee L. Drivers of all sizes should fit in the front, and there's comfortable space for passengers up to 6 feet tall in both the second and third rows. Unfortunately it's a bit of a hike to get inside due to the vehicle's tall ride height, though a helpful tilt-and-slide second row allows for easy access to the third-row seating.

Two big red flags occur up front. First, the controls are swathed in glossy piano black plastic. It easily shows grease smudges and feels more like economy car equipment to the touch. Second, dials are small and hard to grab, while buttons are positioned at strange angles or blocked completely by other controls, which makes operation a frustrating experience. We also noted poor forward visibility because of the Jeep's protruding hood, large pillars, and mass of cameras and radar equipment that take up available windshield space.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Grand Cherokee L is available with Uconnect 5, the latest infotainment system from parent company Stellantis. It has crisp graphics, and the available integrated navigation system provides helpful turn-by-turn route instructions. Unfortunately, the screen is angled upward and easily reflects glare from direct sunlight. Our test vehicle had the optional 19-speaker McIntosh surround-sound system, but we were left underwhelmed, especially considering the system's cost.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration comes standard, though our test vehicle dropped a call while using CarPlay and the system disconnected two other times without warning. That doesn't often happen in other vehicles with the same technology. We do like the Grand Cherokee L's advanced driver aids. The adaptive cruise control brakes and accelerates smoothly, for instance, and the lane keeping system works great to keep this big SUV where it should be.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Grand Cherokee L trails some three-row rivals such as the Kia Telluride and Volkswagen Atlas in maximum cargo capacity. Its 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the third row is usable enough for everyday tasks, but the load floor is rather high. Storage for small items is ample, with plenty of cupholders and spacious center console bins in the first and second rows. But we were a bit puzzled why our test vehicle did not have child seat anchors in the third-row cushions.

The Grand Cherokee L offers strong towing capability. It easily outpaces rivals with a 6,200-pound maximum capacity with the V6 and 7,200 pounds with the V8.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Grand Cherokee L with 4WD and V6 engine gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined, which is average for a midsize three-row SUV. Our test vehicle returned 20.5 mpg on our standardized evaluation route, indicating the EPA estimate should be achievable in real-world driving. Opt for the V8, though, and you take a hit. It's 4WD only and has an EPA-estimated 17 mpg combined.

Value

6.5/10

Is the Grand Cherokee L a good value? Jeep aimed to position the Grand Cherokee L as an every person's SUV with features reserved for luxury vehicles. But instead, it's priced too much like a luxury vehicle. The Grand Cherokee L has a higher starting price than its closest rivals, and it only includes or offers its finest features at more than what you'd pay for a comparable Kia Telluride or Honda Pilot. In those higher trims, the Grand Cherokee L is essentially a luxury SUV — a distinction that it isn't quite cut out for.

We found several issues with the build quality of our test vehicle, whether it was cheap-feeling plastic or an entire center tunnel panel that couldn't withstand a light stress test. The cabin is also awash with glossy piano black surfaces that smudge and glare in sunlight.

Wildcard

8/10

Anything wearing a Jeep badge comes with style and charisma. However, in the Grand Cherokee L, it's style and charisma tailored to a very specific kind of owner. This SUV excels in towing and off-road ability, particularly when equipped with the large (and costly) V8 engine. Lower trim levels, however, don't exhibit the same kind of bravado and lack the user-friendliness that we expect from vehicles in this class. It's big, it's brash, it's a Jeep. But that doesn't make it a great family vehicle.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L trim level differences

The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a midsize SUV with three rows of seats for six or seven passengers. Trim levels include the Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve. All come standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine good for 290 horsepower, 257 lb-ft of torque. A 5.7-liter V8 engine with 357 hp and 390 lb-ft is optional on the Overland and Summit trims. However, you must have a 4WD model for the V8 to be an option. Both engines are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Which Grand Cherokee L trim does Edmunds recommend?

The price of the Grand Cherokee L can rise quickly as you go through the trim levels, so our choice is the Limited 4x4 model. It hits the sweet spot of standard features and a relatively reasonable price. The Limited adds leather seats and a host of interior and exterior lighting upgrades, plus a useful power liftgate. And we're choosing the four-wheel-drive configuration because the standard traction management settings will come in handy on an adventurous weekend, and isn't that part of the reason you were drawn to a Jeep?

Although the vehicle has plenty of space and is very good looking on the inside and out, it was a problem from the start. We bought are vehicle new with 15 miles on it. Within a week we had to take it back to the dealership due to all the lights coming on and major components such as blind spot and POWER STEERING shutting off.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

As I read with some of the 2021 reviews (sadly not before ordering mine), it is just not ready for “prime time,” and I am heartbroken. On the day I picked it up after waiting impatiently for my dream car to arrive (I ordered a 2021 in Sept, but my 2022 arrive in Jan), so happy!! I am in love with everything about it. The way it looks, the way it drives (I got the hemi), the way the … interior looks and feels, all of it. And then, my Summit Reserve’s check engine light came on. Surely it was a fluke, so I brought it to them to look at. Something to do with an “evap leak”. I get it back, so happy! A few weeks later, another check engine light that also went out after a couple of days. Brought it back again. A “kink in the evap hose”. Maybe another fluke? I picked it up in the afternoon. So happy! And then, In the morning, it wouldn’t start. It lit up like a Christmas tree…dash lights, symbols, and everything. I had to have it towed out of my garage and off It went back to the shop. They kept it for a few days. Couldn’t get it to repeat. After they charged the battery, and then replaced it, it worked fine. So now I’m wondering if it’s me? I pick it up, happiness has faded, but I still love it. So I drive it home. The next day, as I’m driving it, the power steering light comes on! Drowsy Driver system disabled. Blind spot system disabled. What. The. Heck!? I still had power steering until I went to park it to get off the road, and then it went out while parking. An hour later, I started it back up. Just fine. No lights. 10 minutes into the drive, back on. Now, I’m just terrified it’ll give out again. It’s currently back at the dealer. I have filed a lemon law claim. Not happy. My roller coaster ride I’m sure is far from over, and this feels like a bad relationship where I love my car, but my trust is so fractured. I asked the dealer’s service department if I was the only one. Nope. Only 1 of the 4 they sold has NOT had issues. (I’m not good at math, but those odds are terrible!) The master technician said there isn’t even any training for them on this thing. Not even sure if it needs some sort of software fix or what because yet again, It won’t repeat the issue for the technicians. I have a toddler, and I don’t even trust driving her to daycare less than 5 minutes away at this point. Not sure how it’ll play out, but save yourself the heartache and wait until they work out the insane amount of bugs.

This vehicle has been broken since day 1. We’ve only put 5000 miles on it and it’s been in the shop 6+ times. Battery dies every other week for no reason. Working to get it purchased back by jeep as a lemon.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

If you're planning on buying this vehicle stay far far away. For the money you can get a more reliable car. We bought our Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve off the show room floor with 8 miles on it. We have had nothing but problems and issues since day 1. Should've known not to buy it when they couldn't get the car started due to the battery being dead. They finally get it started, … check engine light is on. After driving it a bit, it went off. 1st week of having it our massaging seats didn't work, brought it in they fixed it. Week 2 our Bluetooth, Headunit didn't work, black screens all the time, phones not connecting, etc. Brought it in they said they fixed it and updated it. Worked for a week, same problems ever since (have owned the car about 8 months now) Week 3 our Navigation doesn't work on out dashboard screen anymore, it was "Display currently unavailable" our night vision picks and chooses when it wants to work, our Pedestrian Monitoring picks things up when we are driving when there isn't anything there, not longer works anymore. Week 4 our ambient lighting no longer works, our emergency braking system doesn't work, when trying to brake normally by pushing the pedal the car doesn't want to stop sometimes very dangerous. Week 5 my wife goes to turn on the car, all the warning lights pop up, power steering is no longer functioning, gets it out of park, car won't move, puts it back in park, won't comeback out of park. After I check it, I had to start the car on and off a couple times, checked the automatic start as well, it would start for a little bit and automatically turn off after a couple seconds (had a full tank). I finally got the car to work and drive again after a couple of restarts. Long story short, stay far away from this vehicle. I've owned plenty of cars in my lifetime, this is by far the WORST car I've ever owned. It's unsafe and we have children. We have brought it to the dealership and have had it serviced more times than having a car with 200k miles filled with rust and the muffler falling off of it. This has got to be the worst "NEW" SUV on the market. Working on lemon law at the moment. Once completed, I will never ever ever buy another Jeep EVER Again. I hope this helps any potential buyers. To the current owners who are dealing with the same problems we are, I'm sorry that you have to deal with this as well.
