Jeep announced on September 22 that it will launch the three-row Grand Cherokee L in the domestic market this fall, with plans to gradually introduce a two-row model in 2027.


First released in 1992, the Grand Cherokee is known for pioneering the premium SUV segment. The newly unveiled Grand Cherokee L features a refined version of the brand's iconic seven-slot grille, along with sleek headlights and simplified body details that enhance its urban appeal.


The most significant change is under the hood. The new 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 turbo engine replaces the previous 3.6-liter V6 engine. While this represents a downsizing in displacement and cylinder count, performance has actually improved. It delivers a maximum output of 329 PS and peak torque of 45.89 kg·m, surpassing the previous V6's 286 PS and 35.1 kg·m. This smaller engine provides robust power while improving fuel efficiency and maintaining a maximum towing capacity of 2,812 kg.


The enhanced performance combines with Jeep's signature driving capabilities to offer flagship comfort. The Quadra-Lift air suspension adjusts the vehicle's height according to driving conditions and terrain, while finely tuned suspension and improved NVH technology enhance ride quality and quietness, meeting the demands of a flagship SUV.


Inside, the digital experience has been upgraded. The spacious 12.3-inch infotainment system is complemented by a dedicated passenger display and a premium McIntosh audio system with 19 speakers. The third-row space and various convenience technologies ensure that all passengers can experience the value of a flagship SUV.
