Over the past decade or so, Jeep’s brand image has slowly become elevated to the point that it’s a bit of a status symbol. Its luxury-focused Grand Cherokee L is just one example as a fully-loaded one can cost north of $75,000. Now, we’re getting our chance behind the wheel and we’re ready for you to ask the tough questions.
Jeep sells two different sizes of the Grand Cherokee, regular and L for long. Among them, there are no less than eight different trim levels. Pricing starts at just $42,130 (excluding destination fees) but a top-spec Summit Reserve trim features an MSRP of $71,535 before a single option box is ticked.
Among that large range of prices and trims, there are a few notable standard features on even the lowliest Jeep Grand Cherokee. That includes LED headlights, tri-zone automatic climate control, sliding second-row captain’s chairs, an 8.4-inch infotainment system, and roof rails. Four-wheel drive is either optional or standard on every Grand Cherokee.

Upper trim levels benefit from serious luxury features including quad-zone climate control, a dual-pane sunroof, 16-way power-adjustable seats with massage, air suspension, and premium leather upholstery. Keep in mind that the Grand Cherokee gives up none of Jeep’s fancy off-road features either.
We’ll be driving the top trim, Summit Reserve with a 19-speaker McIntosh sound system, 21-inch wheels, and a front-passenger infotainment display. That’s pretty bougie for a brand that built its reputation on rugged off-road performance. We’re not quite sure which engine we’ll get though.
It could be either the base 3.6-liter V6 or an available (for Overland and Summit trims only) 5.7-liter V8. Both send power to the ground through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Notably, the V8 is only available with four-wheel drive and the plug-in 4xe engine isn’t available on the Grand Cherokee L. With all of that in mind, we’re wondering what questions you have about what seems to us like a baby Grand Wagoneer. Let us know in the comment section and we’ll get back to you with the answers.
