Compare the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in Corvallis, OR
Looking for an SUV that brings power, style, and all-road capability to your commutes? Perhaps you've considered a new model from the Jeep brand lineup. Two of the larger vehicles for sale at our dealership are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. But with such similar names, you might be thinking, what's the difference? Explore the key differentiating factors of these two vehicles, as well as what's similar, in order to help you decide on the perfect model for your daily commutes.
Size Difference and Interior Space
Perhaps the most notable difference between these two models is their size. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-sized model that offers five seats spread across two rows of seating. This is plenty of space for passengers to ride in comfort and actually provides your families with generous second-row legroom that rivals the competitors. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L, on the other hand, provides customers with three rows of seating and a wheelbase extended by five inches. This larger model is also heavier by 285-pounds and naturally provides more interior space and cargo room.

In both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, you'll find the same front row of seating, with the same legroom, shoulder room, and headroom measurements. Both models also offer the same amount of standard second-row legroom, though the cargo space behind the second row differs. Enjoy 37.7-cubic-feet in the Grand Cherokee and up to 46.9-cubic-feet of space in the Grand Cherokee L if you fold down the third row. The larger model's second-row also differs in that it slides back and forth by 7.1-inches to provide more legroom to the third row, but the second row in the Grand Cherokee doesn't slide.
Trim Level Options and All-Terrain Ability
When it comes to picking the perfect trim, you will find some differences in the Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup. In general, as a smaller model with more options for engine configurations and styling, this model brings a few added trims. Enjoy the options for a Trailhawk, which is the Jeep lineup's classic all-terrain-oriented model. Or enjoy the new Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, which is a plug-in hybrid configuration. The Jeep Grand Cherokee currently doesn't offer these two trim level options, but you'll find a heightened level of luxury styling through its trim level lineup more oriented to on-road driving.
Similarities and Standard Features
Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L are well equipped with standard safety and technology features and maximize comfort with various soft-touch and durable materials inside. Enjoy a standard 8.4-inch center touchscreen with an available 10.1-inch upgrade, as well as the option for a head-up display and added a 10.3-inch display that acts as your digital gauge cluster. Standard safety features include everything from emergency braking to lane keeping aides to adaptive cruise control-it's truly a comprehensive suite.
