Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4WD 2023 review

Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited – Jeep has completely revised their Grand Cherokee line-up for 2023, with three models and for the first time three rows of seats.     2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee front quarterThe three models are Night Eagle, Limited and Summit. I drove the Limited version.

Obviously, there is more bling and features as you go through the models, but the Limited was well equipped and particularly comfortable. It is priced from $88,750 plus the usual costs.

It comes with premium heated front and middle leather seats, additional electric lumbar support for the front occupants, 10.1 inch Uconnect central touch screen with wireless phone charging.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is powered by the familiar 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine, producing 210 kW and 344 Nm of torque.

It drives all four wheels through the renowned Jeep Quadra-Trac I active 4×4 system with Selec-Terrain traction management system on the Limited and an 8 Sp AT.

Towing is limited to around 2800kg and the V6 can get thirsty at times. There is a PHEV version coming.

Room for the front two rows of occupants is spacious, the third row is like most seven seat 4WD’s, tight.

Jeep have had their share of problems over the years, but hopefully the latest Grand Cherokee will be a worthy competitor to the Prado which is the segment leader.

Quick Jeep Grand Cherokee L thoughts

Brief notes

Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited final thoughts

I am a big Jeep fan, but the latest Grand Cherokee seems to fall short in a few areas.

Its is better suited to a family that wants the rugged look and Jeep heritage, without the actual need for the ability.

It makes a comfortable family wagon, ideal for snow trips and trips to the beach.

If you are after a rugged true 4WD for adventurous outback travel, there are other vehicles better suited to that criteria.

What is good?

  • Large and comfortable
  • Technology
  • Actually, reasonably stylish

What is not so good?

  • Engine is thirsty.
  • Poor towing capacity.
  • Questionable build quality.

Some other Jeep Grand Cherokee Articles

Also Look At

The larger true 4WD segment is competitive and Jeep is aiming for the more premium end.

Buyers could look at the Toyota Prado, Ford Everest, Land Rover Defender, Nissan Patrol.

However, the Grand Cherokee L is more SUV like and buyers may look at the Hyundai Palisade, VW Touraeg, or the Genesis GV80
