Jeep shopping guides / Grand Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee L
Jeep manufacturer images illustrate model configurations and may show optional equipment. Not photographs of specific Bonham inventory.
Quick answer: Choose the two-row Grand Cherokee when you want an SUV without a third row. Choose the Grand Cherokee L when third-row seating is part of your routine. Start with who rides with you and how much luggage stays in the vehicle when every seat is occupied.

Which one fits your family?
Count your regular passengers before choosing a trim. A third row is useful only if the people using it can get in comfortably and the vehicle still carries your bags. For the Grand Cherokee L, decide between second-row captain’s chairs and the available bench using the exact vehicle’s seating configuration. Bring child seats to your appointment and consult the owner’s manual for approved installation positions.
How much cargo room does the Grand Cherokee L have?
Jeep lists 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 46.9 with that row folded and 84.6 with both rear rows folded. Those figures describe different seating arrangements, so compare space with the seats you actually need in use. A stroller or mobility aid can matter more than a headline volume figure. Ask us to photograph the cargo area of your selected vehicle.
Compare equipment on actual vehicles
A model name does not establish the installed equipment. Compare the window stickers for driver-assistance features, camera systems, upholstery, climate controls, roof options and towing equipment. Available family convenience features on the Grand Cherokee L include a rear-seat monitoring camera; verify availability on your chosen trim and build. Request an itemized comparison if two listings have similar prices.

Frequently asked questions
Does every Grand Cherokee have three rows?
No. The Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L are different seating choices. The L is the three-row model; check the individual listing’s seating configuration.
Does the Grand Cherokee L seat six or seven?
It can accommodate up to seven with the available second-row bench. Captain’s chairs create a different passenger configuration. Confirm the specific vehicle before purchasing.
Should I buy the L if I rarely use the third row?
Test both. Occasional extra seating may be valuable, but compare parking comfort and your normal cargo load before choosing the larger layout.
Can both models tow my trailer?
Do not decide from the model name. Verify the model year, engine, installed towing equipment, vehicle-specific ratings and loaded trailer weight with our team. Passenger and cargo weight also matter.
Can I compare both at one appointment?
Contact us with the two listings you want to compare. We will confirm availability and arrange a side-by-side visit when both vehicles are available.
