The Grand Cherokee L keeps the ride, tech and 4×4 know-how of the two-row Grand Cherokee, then stretches the body to make room for a third row and more cargo. It is the Jeep for school carpools, travel hockey weekends and visits from the grandparents. At Gurnee Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, 7255 Grand Ave in Gurnee, Lake County families can compare every Grand Cherokee L trim, seating layout and engine in a single stop.
Scroll through the Grand Cherokee L listings above, then use the guides below to settle on the configuration that suits your household.
Second-row captain’s chairs give you six seats and a clear walkway to the back, while the available 60/40 bench takes capacity to seven. Higher trims add USB charging ports for third-row riders.
The L rides on a 121.7-inch wheelbase, five inches longer than the two-row model. You get 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row and 84.6 cubic feet with every rear seat folded.
Choose the 3.6L Pentastar V6 or the 2.0L Hurricane4 turbocharged four-cylinder, rated at 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic comes with both.
When properly equipped, the Grand Cherokee L can tow up to 6,200 lbs. Add available 4×4 and you have a three-row SUV for snowy Lake County winters and summer runs to the Wisconsin lakes.
The three-row model uses the same streamlined trim ladder as the two-row Grand Cherokee. Engine pairings and packages differ by trim and model year, so our team can confirm the details on any vehicle you like.

Sliding doors still make the third row easiest to reach. The Pacifica seats up to eight and offers available all-wheel drive for winter.

We are happy to line them up so you can compare in person.
It seats six with second-row captain’s chairs or seven with the available bench. Many families with younger kids prefer the captain’s chairs because children can climb into the third row without help.

With the right equipment, it is rated to tow up to 6,200 lbs with either engine. That handles many small boats and campers headed for the Chain O’Lakes; confirm the rating on your specific vehicle before you tow.
No. Jeep offered the 4xe plug-in system only on the two-row Grand Cherokee, and it has announced it is phasing out plug-in hybrids in North America. If fuel economy is the priority, take a look at the hybrid Jeep Cherokee, a smaller two-row SUV.
Follow the oil change indicator and the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual. Road salt, short winter trips and towing can mean more frequent care, so ask our service advisors about tires, brakes and an underbody check before the snow flies.
