2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in Gallatin, TN

 

Review of the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in Gallatin, TN

The weekday carpool and the weekend escape ask different things of an SUV. The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee L makes room for both with three rows, flexible passenger and cargo arrangements, and a choice of powertrains. Its appeal is not simply another row of seats. It is the ability to bring more people along while choosing the comfort features and capability that fit your plans.

For shoppers considering a three-row Jeep SUV, the Grand Cherokee L offers six- and seven-passenger configurations rather than one fixed cabin layout. Rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations also give you choices beyond upholstery and screen size. At Gallatin CDJR in Gallatin, TN, start with how you will use this midsize Jeep SUV, then work toward the trim and equipment that match.

Get to Know the Trim Lineup

• Laredo: A starting point for shoppers who want the Grand Cherokee L's three-row format without moving into the upper-trim luxury equipment.
• Laredo X: Builds on that starting point with conveniences such as smart-device remote engine start.
• Laredo Altitude: A limited-availability alternative to discuss when comparing individual vehicles. Its turbo configuration is no longer available for factory ordering; ask about specific vehicle availability.
• Limited: Moves the cabin toward additional comfort for shoppers who want more than the entry-level equipment package.
• Limited Reserve: Adds details such as a panoramic sunroof to a four-wheel-drive configuration.
• Summit: An upper-trim choice for shoppers seeking a more extensively equipped cabin and capability package.
• Summit Obsidian: Adds a distinct appearance, including 21-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, to the Summit-level equipment package.

Equipment and availability vary by configuration. Comparing the actual vehicle matters more than choosing by trim name alone.

Interior Review

Second-row bucket seats create a six-passenger arrangement, while a second-row bench makes room for seven in appropriately equipped configurations. Think about who rides with you most often: individual second-row seats and an extra seating position solve different everyday needs.

Key passenger-space and cargo measurements include:

• First-row space: 41.3 inches of legroom and 39.8 inches of headroom
• Second-row space: 39.4 inches of legroom and 39.9 inches of headroom
• Third-row space: 30.3 inches of legroom and 37.3 inches of headroom
• Cargo behind the third row: 17.2 cubic feet with all three rows upright
• Cargo behind the second row: 46.9 cubic feet with the third row folded
• Maximum cargo space: Up to 84.6 cubic feet behind the front seats with the rear rows folded

Check the third-row fit in person, especially if adults will use it regularly. Keep the seats upright for the full crew, lower the third row for a smaller group with luggage, or fold the rear rows when the errand is more about hauling than passengers.

Comfort That Changes With the Trim

Laredo configurations use cloth upholstery. Limited brings Capri leatherette seating, heated front seats, and power adjustment for both front occupants. Summit and Summit Obsidian move to Palermo leather seating, genuine wood and aluminum interior accents, and a leather-upholstered dashboard.

The Summit pair also provides heated and ventilated front seats with 16-way power adjustment and massage. Those features give longer drives a different character without changing the cabin's basic flexibility. Climate equipment ranges from dual-zone front automatic temperature control with rear controls to front and rear automatic climate control on the Summit configurations.

Exterior Review

The Grand Cherokee L's exterior dimensions include:

• Length: 204.9 inches
• Width without mirrors: 77.5 inches
• Wheelbase: 121.7 inches
• Height: 71.5 inches

These measurements are useful when you are checking garage clearance, parking space, or how a longer three-row SUV fits your daily routine.

Exterior equipment is both functional and visual. LED headlamps and LED brake lights appear across the configurations, while Limited adds a power liftgate and rain-sensing windshield wipers. A full-size spare tire is carried inside beneath the cargo area.

Wheel choices vary by trim: Laredo uses 18-inch aluminum wheels, Limited uses 20-inch wheels, and Summit uses 21-inch machined-face aluminum wheels with painted accents.

The air-suspension-equipped Summit and Summit Obsidian configurations offer adjustable ride height, with ground clearance reaching 10.9 inches. Clearance depends on the suspension setting; that figure does not describe every Grand Cherokee L configuration at its normal ride height.

Performance Review

Compare these powertrain specifications and drivetrain choices:

• Laredo and Laredo X engine: A 3.6-liter V6 producing 293 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque
• Limited, Limited Reserve, Summit, and Summit Obsidian engine: A 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 turbo producing 324 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 332 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm
• Transmission: Both engine paths pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission
• Laredo, Laredo X, and Limited drivetrains: Rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations are offered
• Limited Reserve, Summit, and Summit Obsidian drivetrains: These configurations use four-wheel drive

Four-wheel drive is only part of the capability picture. Limited Reserve uses a multi-link suspension with coil springs. Summit and Summit Obsidian use Quadra-Lift® air suspension and an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential. Their equipment also includes hill descent control. Consider the chassis and towing hardware alongside the drivetrain when you are deciding how far your weekend plans may take you.

Match Towing Equipment to the Load

Towing capacity is not the same across the lineup:

• Laredo and Laredo X 4x2: Maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds
• Limited 4x2 and Limited Reserve 4x4: Maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds
• Summit and Summit Obsidian 4x4: Up to 6,200 pounds with a weight-distributing hitch; the dead-weight-hitch limit is 5,000 pounds. These configurations include Class IV towing equipment and a trailer wiring harness

Do not apply one configuration's rating to another. Confirm the specific vehicle's towing limits, hitch requirements, payload, passenger load, and trailer tongue weight before choosing a trailer. Bringing more people and luggage changes the load calculation even when the trailer itself stays the same.

Technology Review

The Grand Cherokee L organizes navigation, media, and connected functions around Uconnect® 5. The equipment changes with the trim, so compare the screen and audio package on the vehicle you are considering. For a cabin carrying several people, the useful question is how easily everyone can settle in while the driver keeps attention on the road.

Five Technology Highlights

• Navigation display choices: Laredo and Laredo X use a 10.1-inch display, while Limited, Limited Reserve, Summit, and Summit Obsidian use a 12.3-inch display.
• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Compatible smartphone integration brings supported apps into the infotainment experience.
• Available McIntosh® audio: Summit and Summit Obsidian feature 19 speakers and a 950-watt amplifier.
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability: Connected access is available for compatible devices; service terms and subscriptions may apply.
• Available 120-volt AC outlet: An interior household-style outlet complements the vehicle's 12-volt power outlets on equipped trims.

Safety Review

The Grand Cherokee L includes electronic stability control, roll stability control, and curtain airbags covering all three rows. Driver-assistance equipment builds on those fundamentals, with features varying by trim and configuration.

Five Driver-Assistance Features to Compare

• Blind Spot Detection: Helps alert the driver to vehicles in monitored blind-spot areas
• Cross Path Detection: Helps warn about crossing traffic when backing out
• Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus: Provides forward-collision warning support on equipped configurations
• Active Lane Management: Combines lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assistance
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go: Helps manage following distance and changing traffic speeds under appropriate operating conditions

Summit and Summit Obsidian add an aerial-view camera system, front and rear ParkSense® sensors with stop capability and side-distance warning, and a driver-monitoring alert. Upper-trim equipment also includes Intersection Collision Assist. Ask which systems are included on the particular vehicle you are considering rather than assuming every trim carries the same package.

These technologies assist the driver; they do not replace attentive driving, safe following distances, or checking the vehicle's surroundings. Review operating limits in the owner's manual.
