2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L: The Three-Row Jeep

Most three-row SUVs ask you to give something up. Car-based crossovers seat seven but can’t handle a rough road. Body-on-frame SUVs go anywhere but ride like trucks.

The Grand Cherokee L is the answer to that: three genuine rows, real 4×4 hardware underneath, and an interior that competes with luxury badges.

Here’s what the 2025 model offers.

Seating and Space

Up to seven passengers across three rows, with available second-row captain’s chairs.

The third row is the reason to buy this over the two-row Grand Cherokee, and it’s better than most in the segment — usable for adults on a real drive rather than a kids-only proposition.

Cargo reaches up to 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. More useful day to day is what fits behind the third row with all seven seats occupied, which handles a grocery run without folding anything.

Bring the car seats. Third-row access with a seat installed in the second row is what surprises families, and it’s a five-minute test in our lot.

The Engine

A 3.6L Pentastar V6 producing 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic.

Towing runs up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped — a boat, a small camper, or a utility trailer. Confirm the rating on the specific configuration.

Off-Road Capability

A three-row family SUV that can genuinely leave pavement is rare, and this is where the L earns the Jeep badge.

Three available 4×4 systems — Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential. Quadra-Drive II is the one that meaningfully changes what the vehicle can do on loose or uneven ground, so it’s worth knowing which system is in the vehicle you’re looking at.

Selec-Terrain Traction Management with Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand modes.

Available Quadra-Lift Air Suspension raises ride height for clearance and lowers it for easier entry and highway aerodynamics. Around El Paso and southern New Mexico, that means sand, washboard, and a rutted access road handled without a second thought.

The air suspension also improves ride quality on rough pavement — which you’ll appreciate far more often than the off-road benefit, and which very few three-row competitors offer at any price.

Interior and Technology

Premium materials including leather-trimmed or Nappa leather seating depending on trim.

Uconnect 5 on an 8.4-inch or available 10.1-inch touchscreen, with seamless access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings.

An available 10.25-inch front passenger interactive display — a separate screen so your passenger can handle navigation or media without reaching across the console.

An available 19-speaker McIntosh audio system delivering up to 950 watts. McIntosh is a genuine audiophile brand rather than a badge, and it’s one of the more distinctive things about this vehicle.

A dual-pane panoramic sunroof that stretches over the second row, which changes how open the cabin feels from the back seats.

Exterior

Sculpted, aerodynamic body lines with signature LED headlamps and taillamps. Available 21-inch polished aluminum wheels.

The L’s extra length over the two-row model is most noticeable in a parking space, so measure your garage before you commit.

Safety and Driver Assistance

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
• Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Path Detection
• Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
• Active Lane Management
• 360-Degree Surround View Camera — more useful on a vehicle this long than on most
• Night Vision Camera — infrared detection of pedestrians and animals well ahead of your headlights, displayed in the instrument cluster. Genuinely useful on unlit desert highways where wildlife is a real hazard

Grand Cherokee L or Something Else?

Two-row Grand Cherokee — same capability and interior, shorter, easier to park, more cargo behind the second row. Right if you don’t need a third row.

Grand Cherokee L — the third row plus the length. Right if you carry more than five people regularly, not occasionally.

Grand Cherokee 4xe — the plug-in hybrid, in two-row form, producing 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft.

Be honest about how often that third row gets used. If it’s a few times a year, the two-row gives you more usable cargo space for less money, and we’d rather point you there.
