The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L supplies generous room for passengers in all three rows and outmatches competitors by a wide margin with its available off-road and towing capabilities.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

Updated: 2/13/2026

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L follows a simple formula: Add a third row to Jeep's most popular SUV. It seems obvious enough in an era of three-row SUVs that you wonder why Jeep didn't offer it sooner than four years ago. The Grand Cherokee L fits the bill if you want six- or seven-passenger seating — six is standard with bucket seats in the second row, but a three-across bench seat is optional — but still want exceptional off-road handling. You could go for the larger Jeep Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer, but their longer footprints aren't as capable on the trail.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

6.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 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.

Driving experience

6.8/10

How does the Jeep Grand Cherokee L drive? We tested the Grand Cherokee L with its base 3.6-liter V6. This engine is likable enough but often feels overworked in a vehicle this big. At Edmunds' test track, it accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds, which is slow for the class. We also disliked the light, loose steering feel and lack of brake-pedal feedback. The eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, contributing to a comfortable and relaxed driving experience.

There's only so much capability possible with a three-row SUV that's 17 feet long, but the Grand Cherokee makes the most of what it has. The four-wheel-drive system helps in slippery situations, and it'll get you farther into the woods than most other seven-passenger SUVs.

A long wheelbase and optional air suspension create a cushy ride without it feeling floaty or losing composure, and bumps in the road are absorbed before they make it to occupants.

We noted poor forward visibility due to the Jeep's protruding hood, large pillars, and mass of sensors that take up windshield space. We like the Grand Cherokee L's advanced driver aids, though, including adaptive cruise control that brakes and accelerates smoothly and a great lane keeping system.

Comfort

5.8/10

How comfortable is the Jeep Grand Cherokee L? Comfort is a strong suit of the Grand Cherokee L. The leather seats in our Summit test vehicle 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.

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. We were a bit puzzled why our test vehicle did not have child seat anchors in the third-row cushions.

In-cabin tech

7.8/10

How’s the tech? The Grand Cherokee L features Uconnect 5, the latest infotainment system from Stellantis. The graphics are crisp, and its navigation system offers clear, helpful turn-by-turn directions. However, the screen is angled in a way that creates significant glare in direct sunlight, making it hard to see. Our test vehicle also had the optional 19-speaker McIntosh sound system, which we found underwhelming for its price.

Device support is solid, with both wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a range of charging ports for all rows and a wireless charging pad. We did notice a dropped call and a couple of disconnections during our test, but these issues may have been unique to our vehicle.

Storage & cargo

7.3/10

How’s storage and cargo? 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.

Value

4.6/10

Is the Jeep Grand Cherokee L a good value? Jeep aimed to position the Grand Cherokee L as an everyperson's SUV with features reserved for luxury vehicles. But it's priced too much like a luxury vehicle. The 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 show glare in sunlight.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Grand Cherokee L with 4WD and the 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.

X factor

7/10

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. 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.

Build & Price

2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L trim level differences

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a midsize three-row SUV that seats up to seven passengers. It's available in four trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Overland and Summit. A 3.6-liter V6 (293 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque) is standard on all trims, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Laredo and Limited models come standard with rear-wheel drive or optional Quadra-Trac I four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is standard on Overland and Summit trims. There are a few different versions of Jeep's 4WD system, so we'll cover the terminology here since it can get confusing: Compare the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L trim levels in-depth.

Which Grand Cherokee L trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Grand Cherokee L Limited trim costs about $6K more than the base Laredo, but it's worth it. It comes with some notable upgrades you'll appreciate in daily use, such as a power liftgate, heated synthetic leather seats (heated rear seats are also a bonus), and a larger touchscreen display with navigation. If you intend more serious off-roading, you'll need to step up to the Overland trim for its Quadra-Trac II four-wheel-drive system. But for most casual and capable adventures in the dirt, the Limited will suffice.

Competitors to consider

Three-row SUVs abound. Some even offer modestly off-road-capable versions, like the Kia Telluride. That's one of our top-rated SUVs and its X-Pro trim comes with all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and advanced traction control for trail adventure. The Honda Pilot TrailSport is similar but with a beefier suspension and underbody protection. Neither can match the Jeep's dedicated four-wheel drive, low-range gearing and locking differentials, but they can get you halfway there. If you don't need the Jeep's off-roadability, consider the Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-90 or Toyota Grand Highlander. Be sure to read our Edmunds Expert Rating below to see if the Jeep Grand Cherokee L suits your needs.

Edmunds spotlight: The Hemi is history

For 2025, Jeep discreetly drops the Grand Cherokee L's optional Hemi V8. It's a shame since we've found the base V6 engine lacking: a decent enough engine if you're not in a hurry and powerful enough to tow up to 6,200 pounds, but lacking the V8's muscle required to really move this heavy Jeep. The V8's thirst — it gets just 17 mpg combined — likely doomed it, as Jeep starts to phase in newer, more efficient powertrains. The Grand Cherokee L remains a great choice for families, though. It's about 10 inches longer than the standard Grand Cherokee, giving it the extra room for its third row, but it retains its nimble off-road footing. And it's available with an array of comfort and luxury features, ranging from the rough-and-ready Laredo base trim (now with a lower starting price than its predecessor) to the quilted leather and massaging front seats of the Summit trim.

This car has turned out to be more wonderful than I even expected. I love the features. I actually can't wait to have a car load of passengers. The only thing that concerns me is that, because of its size, I find myself driving way more carefully than before -- signaling every move, no sudden acceleration ir breaking. But that is good.
