2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Grand Cherokee L
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a versatile two-row SUV with a sleek, sporty look. It can carry up to five people, and it's excellent for long trips or off-road adventures. If you need more cargo space, consider the Grand Cherokee L. It has a third row, a longer wheelbase, and room for six or seven people depending on the model. The Grand Cherokee's smaller size makes it better for city or off-road driving.
Both of these SUVs share engine options, trim levels, and many features. Learning more about the differences between these Jeeps can help you decide which one is best for your needs.
Do You Need Two Rows or Three?
The five-seat Jeep Grand Cherokee is ideal for individuals or couples who sometimes carry additional items or passengers. It has a comfortable interior and 145 cubic feet of passenger space. You'll get 37.7 cubic feet of cargo space and 70.8 cubic feet when the back seats are folded.
The seven-seat Grand Cherokee L is great for large families or people who carry lots of cargo. Its second-row captain's chairs can slide forward for easy access to the third row and back for additional legroom.
This vehicle has 152 cubic feet of passenger room, 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up, and 84.6 cubic feet with the second- and third-row seats folded. The third row is more compact than the front seats and second row, and it's comfortable for kids and shorter trips. You can add a power liftgate to make loading and unloading cargo easy.
