2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in Bessemer, AL

Overview of the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee L

The 2027 Jeep® Grand Cherokee L brings a third row to the Grand Cherokee family without making passenger space its only selling point. This midsize SUV combines seating for six or seven, depending on configuration, with a choice of gas powertrains, available four-wheel drive, and upper-trim appointments that give everyday travel an upscale side. It is a three-row Jeep SUV for shoppers whose plans call for more than the same commute every day.

The Grand Cherokee L’s defining difference is its passenger-and-cargo flexibility. Bring extra riders, fold seats for equipment, or choose towing hardware to match your trailer. For drivers researching the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in Bessemer, AL, Brady CDJR offers a starting point for discussing which configuration fits those plans. The right choice depends on how many people travel with you, what you carry, and how much capability you expect to use. Get behind the wheel of the 2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee L today.

Interior: Make Room for Changing Plans

The Grand Cherokee L cabin gives passengers three rows while letting you adjust the balance between seating and storage. Second-row bucket seats provide a six-passenger layout; an available second-row bench brings capacity to seven in appropriately equipped configurations. Sliding second-row bucket seats improve third-row access, an everyday detail worth considering when you compare seating arrangements.

Passenger measurements include 41.3 inches of front legroom, 39.4 inches in the second row, and 30.3 inches in the third row. The real test is how your regular passengers fit, especially if you’ll use the rear row often.

Cargo space changes with the seating position:

• All three rows upright: 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row
• Third row folded: 46.9 cubic feet behind the second row
• Second and third rows folded: Up to 84.6 cubic feet behind the front seats

That flexibility lets the cabin change jobs between a passenger-heavy outing and an equipment-heavy weekend. Concealed cargo storage also provides a place to tuck smaller items away.

Comfort equipment depends on trim. Laredo uses cloth seats and includes a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone front automatic climate control, and rear climate controls. Summit moves in a more luxurious direction with Palermo leather seating, genuine wood and aluminum accents, and a leather-upholstered dashboard. Heated and ventilated front seats with 16-way power adjustment and massage on the Summit make extended drives about more than simply getting everyone there.

Exterior: A Longer Profile with Purpose

The Grand Cherokee L’s extended body accommodates its three-row interior while retaining the confident proportions of a Jeep SUV. It measures 204.9 inches long and 77.5 inches wide without mirrors, with a 121.7-inch wheelbase. Those dimensions are useful when checking garage space or deciding how the vehicle fits your usual parking spots.

Laredo pairs 18-inch aluminum wheels with LED headlamps, LED brake lights, heated exterior mirrors, and a chrome grille. Summit takes a different approach with standard 21-inch machined-face aluminum wheels with painted accents. Its exterior equipment also includes a power liftgate, rain-sensing windshield wipers, front fog lamps, and automatic high-beam headlamps.

A sliding and tilting glass sunroof over the first and second rows, with a power sunshade, adds an open feel to the Summit cabin. Wheel designs, lighting, and convenience equipment vary by trim, so consider the exterior as a package of everyday functions rather than appearance alone.

Performance: Choose Capability for Your Plans

The Grand Cherokee L offers distinct powertrain configurations, with equipment that changes alongside the trim. Laredo 4×2 uses a 3.6-liter V6 producing 293 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque. Summit 4×4 uses a 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 turbo engine producing 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The turbo engine develops its peak torque at 3,000 rpm, while the V6 reaches its peak at 4,000 rpm. That difference gives shoppers another reason to compare the powertrains on a drive, especially on the highway with passengers and cargo.

Rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations are offered; four-wheel drive is not standard on every Grand Cherokee L. Laredo 4×2 directs power to the rear wheels and uses multi-link suspension with coil springs. Summit 4×4 combines automatic full-time four-wheel drive with height-adjustable Quadra-Lift® air suspension, an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential, and hill descent control. These are meaningful hardware differences, not simply changes to cabin trim.

Towing ratings also depend on configuration. Laredo 4×2 has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Summit 4×4 can tow up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped with a weight-distributing hitch; its dead-weight-hitch limit is 5,000 pounds. Summit includes Class IV towing equipment and a trailer wiring harness.

Before selecting a trailer, confirm the specific vehicle’s tow rating, hitch requirements, payload limits, and tongue-weight allowance. Passengers, luggage, and trailer tongue weight all matter when planning a trip. The highest advertised rating should never be treated as the rating for every Grand Cherokee L.

Technology: Keep the Trip Connected

Uconnect® 5 brings navigation, entertainment, and compatible smartphone functions together in the Grand Cherokee L. Screen size and audio equipment vary by trim: Laredo uses a 10.1-inch navigation display, while Summit provides a 12.3-inch navigation display. This gives shoppers a practical choice between infotainment configurations rather than one screen across the entire lineup.

Five technology highlights include:

• Uconnect 5 navigation displays: A 10.1-inch display on Laredo and a 12.3-inch display on Summit put route and media controls together.
• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Compatible smartphone integration brings supported phone functions into the infotainment system.
• Available McIntosh® audio: Summit features 19 speakers and a 950-watt amplifier for a more immersive soundtrack.
• 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability: Compatible devices can connect on the move; activation, coverage, and service-plan requirements apply.
• Available 120-volt AC outlet: Summit adds a household-style interior power outlet alongside its 12-volt outlets.

Choose the technology you will actually use, whether that means navigation for unfamiliar destinations, entertainment for longer drives, or convenient power access for compatible equipment.

Safety: Assistance for Everyday Driving

The Grand Cherokee L provides driver-assistance features for common situations such as changing lanes, following traffic, and maneuvering in parking areas. Laredo equipment includes electronic stability control, roll stability control, and curtain airbags covering the first, second, and third rows.

Five driver-assistance features included on the Laredo configuration are:

• Blind Spot Detection: Helps alert the driver to vehicles in monitored blind-spot areas
• Cross Path Detection: Helps identify crossing traffic when reversing
• Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus: Provides warning support for potential forward collisions
• Active Lane Management: Includes lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assistance
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go: Helps manage following distance as traffic speeds change under suitable conditions

Parking equipment differs by trim. Laredo includes rear ParkSense® sensors with stop capability. Summit adds front and rear sensors with side-distance warning, an aerial-view camera system, Intersection Collision Assist, and a driver-monitoring alert. These added views and alerts can help when maneuvering a longer three-row SUV.

Driver-assistance systems do not replace attentive driving, checking your surroundings, or maintaining safe following distances. Review each system’s operating limits in the owner’s manual.
