Review and specifications
2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The Grand Cherokee L is Jeep’s new midsized three-row SUV based on the redesigned Grand Cherokee. Most GCLs are powered by the familiar 290-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, which tends to be noisy when revved, isn't overly powerful and not that fuel efficient. High-end versions come with a 5.7-liter V8. The 8-speed automatic is smooth and downshifts automatically when descending hills. The ride has an underlying firmness but is composed over undulations. Body roll is well contained in corners but the steering is overly light. Seating configurations are either for six or seven passengers and the third-row is relatively roomy. Interior quality exudes an aura of premium but some of the redesigned controls are too cluttered. Many active safety and driving assist features are standard. A 324 hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine is new for the 2026 model year.

Brand context
About Jeep
<p>The storied Jeep brand, long synonymous with adventure and off-road capability, continues a steady drumbeat of new models. However, none currently meet our criteria to earn a recommendation. For example, the iconic Jeep Wrangler has poor fuel economy, wind noise, an uncomfortable interior, and reliability scores near the bottom of Consumer Reports’ rankings. Despite those results, the Wrangler has been popular for decades. Amid endless options of aerodynamic, compact SUVs, its boxy, military-inspired design makes it timeless and charming. The Wrangler’s rugged appeal benefits the rest of Jeep’s lineup of small, medium, and large SUVs. The brand has expanded into electrified vehicles with plug-in hybrids and new electric-only models, such as the Recon and Wagoneer S. Low reliability scores across the brand make it difficult to recommend buying a used Jeep.</p>
