What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
"The Pentastar in the Grand Cherokee L is smoother than what butter aspires to be. It's responsive but has an elegant stride to get the Grand Cherokee L up to speed and keep it there. Gearbox changes are smooth and kick downs aren't jolty. The engine and gearbox combo makes for a very nice highway cruiser combination.

What does it look like?
Exterior
Interior
What is the Jeep Grand Cherokee L like inside?
"Continuing on with the theme of 'slim horizontal shapes', that's evident in the interior of the Grand Cherokee L. There's a horizontal flow to the dash and centre console, which compared to the outgoing Grand Cherokee, is a much more appealing look to the eyes and is more cohesive. Quality is also quite prevalent here with top-class materials flowing across the cabin. In the Overland trim on drive, the steering wheel, seats and door cards were finished with Nappa leather. What was most impressive was the wooden trim and the texture it had to it. On the Summit Reserve trim, there was polished Walnut."- Tayedza Mbiri
