- The #JeepGrandCherokee family is completely redesigned and expanding for 2021 to include the extra large #GrandCherokeeL which now includes seating for up to 7 people. Beside a completely new Alfa Romeo platform underneath, #Jeep is saying this is the most off-road capable 3-row family SUV on the market with the #GrandCherokee #Overland trim offering a robust full-time 4WD system with a low-range transfer case and up to nearly 11" of ground clearance with the adjustable air suspension.

Happy Monday guys! Incase you were wondering, we will be driving and filming the 2022 Grand Cherokee 2-Row this week! Heading to Moab, UT on Thursday for the First Drive. We're anxious to get behind the wheel of the 4xe version the most but this is one of Jeep's most important models and the Grand Cherokee L promises to be the most off-road capable 3-row in the segment.
Is it for sure confirmed that there will be a 4XE version for the three-row L at some point?
Can’t wait for 4xe
I am so glad to hear other people think there needs to be less chrome! It appears that many of the higher trim levels with convenience packages and the modern black appearance package are mutually exclusive so I assume Jeep thinks 30- and 40-something’s can’t afford the higher trim levels. Meanwhile, I’m trying to decide whether to continue feeling young and cool behind the wheel or embrace turning into my parents. Haha
“The night vision…the graphics don’t look all that great.” It’s daytime 🤣.
I remember when the GC use to top out at the Overland trim, wow times have really changed!
Technically it topped out at the SRT trim, but yeah I can hardly keep up with all the trim levels they have now.
@@chynacash3138 well they lost a lot of trim Levels. the SRT, Track hawk and Limited X Trim levels are gone.
@@Qugie True. I think the old one had like 11 or 12 trim levels lol. The new one only has 6-7 so I guess that's a little less confusing... Although it's a safe bet that an SRT version will be back.
@@chynacash3138 I hope so because I don't want 2 buy a used one.
"The Wagon Queen Family Truckster. You think you hate it now, wait til you drive it."
Love it .. I’m waiting on the new 2 row Grand Cherokee
The V6 sounds like it’s straining and u felt every crack in road that surprised me for heavy vehicle . Dealers says no air suspension, chip excuse
They have air suspension, if you want it you may have to order it or ask the sales men
We just bought an overland with air suspension. Jeep said you can’t custom order one with it but they’d be sending some to dealers as available. Only a $750 credit for no air suspension is a joke.
@@John-vh1fk was $3k option pickup
I bought Tahoe diesel 26 mpg
@@BrogeKilrain we got lucky the overland we bought had the air suspension otherwise I would have passed.
8.5 seconds is an INSULT for the price of 55K.
Whoever is putting the prices on today’s vehicles is not too bright IMO
Not too bright? They sell 1,000s of these. One of the top sellers in its class.
And? It’s a family hauling SUV, not a drag car. It’s competitive, the traverse, pilot, and atlas aren’t any quicker
You’re not buying it for the performance, you’re buying it to haul your family and whatever you put in the car. Outside of that it’s more than likely that price also due to some of the luxury options it has.
@@jstnnn1 I might add, haul them "off the beaten path."
No its not. Its a good balance of performance and fuel economy. I agree that its not stellar however. But this IS a fully off-road SUV.
The Grand Cherokee is more in the luxury SUV class compared to the others. The interior is really nice.
Exactly
The materials used in the Grand Cherokee are very good, but the assembly process is not very good
I Still feel the v8 should be an option starting from the Limited trim.
If Jeep offered this with a mild hybrid inline 6 making around 400 hp, this thing would be hard to beat.
The drag coefficient is there, no matter how much horsepower you have, the Pentastar engine accelerates very quickly and lightly at speeds below 100 km/h.
Im Seeing these on the road and i love the front but the back end is sorta still taking its time growing on me.
Years ago I owned a 2004 WJ Overland with 250,000miles before it gave out. Miss that vehicle..Actually had very few issues with it.
That 4.7 v8 was a work horse I got 301000 miles on mine before it completely died
I like the back end. My only issue is that the grossly overdo the badging.
I love my grand cher L! 🤗 amazing SUV for a family of 6 with all younger kids that does mild off-roading.
Best bet is to get the Limited trim with the luxury package which throws in ventilated seats, 360 camera, digital rear view mirror, etc. For some reason you can’t build it on the Jeep website, but there are a bunch of them on dealer lots with this package + pano sunroof and 20 inch wheels for around $54-55K
I’m surprised they didn’t add the V8 with E-torque from the Ram? Because that V8 in the ram is good and good on gas.
6:03 anyone notice the taillights don’t line up like a Tesla
This is the level of equipment that my wife wanted! However, in August we went to order the Overland with the Trail Rated package but Jeep would not accept any orders for the Trail Rated Package. We ended up with a Limited with a luxury package, but no low range or air suspension. Love it though. It is a deceptively huge vehicle, but for third row size and not truck based, this is hard to beat.
This Cherokee is really gorgeous
Wait what do you mean not a luxury suv. The thing that makes the grand Cherokee L so amazing is that it has a ton of trim levels if you want full luxury then get summit reserve
That's what I love about Jeep/RAM. They give you so much variety and choice of colors and interiors to choose from.
I was impressed by the last generation grand Cherokee overland trim several years ago when I had it as a rental. I had never considered or driven a jeep vehicle but it felt luxurious. Jeep waited 10 years for a new generation but they did keep it pretty updated. On the other hand, the Lexus GX will be 15 years old before a redesign is released. 😑
But the Lexus will last longer and hold its value better if you plan to rack up the miles
@@Paulog1990 It will last longer but Jeep holds it's Value well and I off road so Lexus won't cut it for me.
@@Paulog1990 it won’t last longer. Too many Jeep’s with 400k on the clock. Stop the crap.
@@Qugie you obviously don’t drive Jeep’s because a Lexus won’t outlast a Jeep
@@Natethegreat200c Well Lexus is Toyota and they suppose to be the longest lasting so they say I don't know for sure I never own one. But sorry your dead wrong I do drive Jeeps in fact I own one, you can see it on my You tube page DUH!
The 3.6 has always been a dog off the line. One of major complaints with the Pentastar is the lack of low end torque. Plus the Pentastar is not the best sounding when you ring it out beyond 4k rpms
Yeah, pentastar was just ok. Not enough low end torque and a gas guzzler imo.
All the vehicles it’s been was heavy. It’s like stuffing a 250 hp 4 in a Tahoe. It’s not that the engine is bad it just doesn’t suit the heavy cars it’s been in.
There is no such measurement as rpms.
@@georgesnyder5337 It's short for Revolution Per Minute
@@jmc6000 That would be RPM. You can't calculate RPMS (Revolutions per minutes).
Thank you guys for awesome video! Love the reviews!
If there was cooled seats in the second row, this overland version would be perfect!
Everyone would go for the rugged looking one obviously...
But the TrailHawk 4XE is enticing.. and the Grand Cherokee Summit reserve is basically a mini-me of the Grand Wagoneer with all the bells and whistles... front passenger screen and rear entertainment screens were added, which seems odd to me, becoz... why doesn't the more famliy focused L model have any of this?
It may come when the hands free driving assitant comes as a new hardware feature in the next years Grand Cherokee L... i meant the screens...
Uh, Sofyan, could you please ask Jeep when u go for the 2-row Grand Cherokee's test drive, about this?
It would be real nice of you....
Good info, thank you! Picking up ours next week - same model and trim.
Yeah I’m waiting on the 2 row version also with the various V8 options
While the Pentastar will not win any street races, it is a very reliable engine and easy to maintain. Jeep is perhaps the only manufacturer that is expected to be tops in offroading, features, luxury, performance, and other credentials. Obviously, the elephant in the room is price, and while $63k is indeed spendy, GCs have never been inexpensive. Additionally, it is hard to compare this to other competitors due to the sound system, massaging seats, air suspension, available V8, rear 4WD w/ eLSD, night vision, and other exclusives. And...Kia's are still selling for $60K in my area...soooo...
Its crazy that this is longer, taller, and bigger than all of its competition, but only offers a little over 80 cu ft of cargo space? The 2021 Honda Pilot offers 109 cu ft, which is only 12 cu ft short of a new Expedition Max. 17 cu ft short of the new Suburban/Yukon XL.
Love it. Looks great to bad it's about 50% under powered. And if you believe the stated MPG, well I have a bridge for sale - special price for you my friend! With me driving, it would get 12 city, and 20 highway. Too bad cuz I do like the looks and I'm sure it rides excellent. They need a plug-in Hybrid version that gets 40 city and 60 highway.
You didn't put it in sports mode.
Significantly larger than all the aforementioned crossovers, except the Traverse which is just as long as the JGCL. Traverse is wider by 1 inch. Jeep taller by 1 to 2 inches.
Lovely car, but desperately needs new powertrains. Pentastar just a bit overmatched, V-8 still nice but fuel economy is bad
I stay in Michigan and I literally see these and the Wagoneer everyday. Not once either, multiple times. I do feel a more powerful engine should’ve been created. Like a turbo 6 producing around 325 hp. Not base but mid level engine
Great review.
Would you say the new Jeep is a better family 6/7 seater than the new Pathfinder?
Watching you from Australia.
The testers Jeep provided all have the air suspension but they have removed it as an option now, both on the L variant and the 2 row Grand Cherokee. Pretty deceptive IMHO.
This exact vehicle (Overland) is 78k in Canada, too pricey, now competes price wise with the Tahoe.
I definitely love the blackout look more
I’d choose this vehicle if I were in the market for a three row crossover
Why do you keep complaining about the chrome? Not everyone likes their car blacked out. Chrome offers accents and lines to the color to make the car appear more beautiful. Black out makes it look all black and basic. That's clearly your thing the Black out edition but most people will buy this car you will see less of the black out vs on the road.
The last gen looks way better this thing is very awkwardly shaped.
You guys put that “red line” graphic at the top of every thumbnail. Browsing quickly on the phone, my mind reads it as the previously viewed red play-bar, and unwatched stuff is easily missed.
I will say that paint seens to have way less orange peel than ive seen in some other manufacturers
I think the previous generation looked nicer?
Not even close. Have you not seen the wretched cheap plastic interior of the 2021 Grand Cherokee? They still look like fucking Dodge Neons from 2005 on the inside. Until 2022 came along, and finally Jeep is outdoing itself in every way. Really hoping that Dodge starts doing the sane thing because the Durango, Charger, and Challenger have all looked exactly the same for 15 years, inside and out.
@@Jshawty13 agree interior leagues ahead. Exterior not doing it for me however.
@@MrMountainHawk maybe wait for the 2 row and see if you like the proportions better? I mean the car has been announced already, just hasnt entered production yet. The 3 row has been in production for maybe 3 months now
@@Jshawty13 Dodge Durango interior is new for 2021.
@@chynacash3138 the only thing new is the 10.1 inch infotainment and gauge cluster displays. Everything else remains unchanged
I’m surprised the 3rd row doesn’t look to have any latch anchors for car seats. Most put at least one set in the 3rd row.
You got the under-powered one.
This Jeep is so comfortable. With the higher upgrade packages. You get heat and cold lumber massage seats.
I have nerve damage in my tailbone and so I need a really comfortable seat. I tested 25 passenger seats from cheaper and much more expensive luxury brands.
The massage systems in other brands have.
None compared to the Jeep.
I fell asleep in it. During the test drive.
So if you have a bad back and want to drive longer then 3o min get one.
Yes! Been waiting for this.
Jeep now offers Hydro blue(from the ram trx) on this model!
Very Nice Bro!
is the new pathfinder comparable? not based on off road ability, of course
Completely agree with what you said about the graphics on the digital dash feeling dated. There’s also not a lot of customization for the dash like how Hyundai lets you configure the dash
Looks great, just hesitant to get another Jeep/Mopar car due to reliability.
Do you prefer this car over the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander?
Only if you go off-road. Then the Jeep is the easy winner.
Definitely!
Buyers of this should really just get an awd minivan.
That poor pentastar. Put it out of its misery
Get 'em while you can.
Why did Jeep decrease the new Grand Cherokee's tourque for the 3.6?
Emissions, unfortunately. Many manufacturers are having to slightly decrease power in carryover engines.
Jeep did score a home run with this one. Little too expensive though.
Is there a car you can buy these days that isn't "a little too expensive?"
@@krane15 nope
Rear end looks like a minivan. Lol
Compare this to the pathfinder platinum trim, pathfinder is in this segment
I wouldn't mind seeing a comparison, but in its off-road capability. The interior is Jeep by a mile.
Waiting to watch the video of the grand wagoneer and wagoneer
They need the turbo engine from the Giulia. Keep the weight down and get better gas mileage.
As far as all the chrome, the last generation grand Cherokee offered the high altitude trim which was a very nice blacked out look. Will that be offered again?
I wish. I just picked up a 2021 Grand Cherokee L Overland in Black and pretty much love it except I hate the chrome trim.
He is excellent.
What is all over that engine bay?
Sound deadening.
Yeah eek, run the puppy through the car wash. Or something.
Sweet Jeep! Thing look good
It’s a hell of “A Trail” to the kindergarten school parking lot 😂😂😂🤔🤔 Trail rated is a joke… who in the hell buys these vehicles at this price 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ the payments are $923 a month for 96 months for a grand total of $88,600 Canadian dollars 😳😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does the v8 feel the same as the v6? Or huge difference?
Are there plans for any new powertrains in a couple years? I want a non L, but these engines are so outdated and not sure about Jeep doing reliable hybrids. I thought I heard rumors of a straight 6 coming. What happened to that?
The outdated engines are probably the better option for people who want to keep one of these long-term... At least both the Pentastar V6 and 5.7L Hemi are known to be pretty reliable.
@@chynacash3138 right. He complains he needs reliability but wants new tech. Oxymoron.
To honest, I think you get the bang for your buck with the Telluride.
Very true
But with the grand Cherokee you get better off-road an towing capability which unfortunately the telluride doesn’t really have,still a great vehicle regardless
Uglier and less nice interior
@@joskjj3625 The competition has zero off-road capability.
Is overrated at the end of the day is a Kia
@@krane15 that’s what I said
"Prowness," really? I think you meant prowess.
They placed a limp V6 within.... seem they want you to get the V8.....
This looks like a car from 5 years ago
Overland with a V8 got it.
I’m gonna start slinging so I can afford these cars…
The latest-gen Grand Cherokee does look impressive with all that tech loaded in it. But, alas, that's what also makes it an inevitable endless money pit years down the line.
The new uConnect 5 in these Jeeps stink. Get at older version, or don't buy at all. We just bought a 2023 Grand Cherokee L Limited. Comparing the new uConnect to the former one in my 2022 Charger Scat is night and day. I can't believe how they paid good money to people to over complicate something.
Those ugly rims belong on a hybrid
Did he just say "3 Row Crossover"?
That Pentastar engine is reliable but why automakers keep using that ZF transmission? I had the 2016 Grand Cherokee Limited and that 8 speed transmission was already slipping before the 50K miles. Same with the 9 speed transmission of the Honda Pilot. Lord, what a trashy transmission.
Yeah they shift good "when they work right". My mom had a Honda Pilot too that needed transmission work under warranty.
Toyota Aisin 8 speed the way to go
@@chynacash3138 Thanks God I'm under warranty as well.
@@andersonrodriguez8258 Honda 10 speed is great. I don't know why they don't use it on the Pilot, dreadful.
looks like that model, had a coolant issue under the hood 🤔🤫
Engineers 5,000 lbs curb weight ....car why?
Grand Cherokee l Competes with Chevrolet Tahoe Ford Expedition Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia
idk why Jeep even offered this car with the V6. thats sooo slow
Not everyone needs a V8 and it's competitors mostly uses V6's.
@@La-yt1wr exactly especially with gas price going crazy nowadays..I’m fine with my V6
@@La-yt1wr competitors v6’s are much faster
@@bradleyscarreviews not. They may be about 0.5sec faster, but you will miss out on the better refinement and other items the Jeep offers.
@@hellkitty1014 I would love the Jeep. I love the grand Cherokee L. I’m just saying, most competitors are in the 7 seconds 0-60
Sad how small the int and esp the third row seat is…and for that much $$! Thinking this will be a dud for Jeep. The front is hideous too.
These have gotten mostly positive reviews from every publication I've seen and most people who comment seem to generally like the styling, so highly doubt it'll be a dud for Jeep.
Another Jeep Grand Cherokee L!
I would love to have this Jeep,but reliability is not there yet with Jeep guys, Sorry. That's brutal truth.
No it’s not. You watch too much Kilmer. His views are diving because people are waking up. Yes a liar
He’s *
The previous generation was much better looking
At least the Pentastar sounds like trash under the whip 🙄
I think you'd like the proportions of the 2 row GC. Looks really good.
All that black gloss on interior is a hard pass. And so few different colors to choose from. No blues, no greens, no beige or brown. Hard pass.
Very pricey and needs the Hemi-V8. Cheapo interior bits and pieces remind owners they SHOULD have bought the Wagoneer......
No. You buy a grand Cherokee L summit reserve to get rid of cheap interior bits.
Not true luxurious vehicle give me one and i will tell you then...
The jeep isn't a crossover
Yeah it is. Its unibody. Not body on frame. No Grand Cherokee has ever been a SUV. All have been crossovers.
@@baronvonjo1929 . You must be on crack a crossover is a car based front wheel drive suv like the RAV4 this is rear wheel drive SUV platform
@@BBlackmen SUVs are body on frame.
Also making it rear wheel drive dosnt make it a SUV. The Afla Romeo Guila a sedan and Stelvia a crossover are literally based on the same platform. And used it first. This gen of Grand Cherokee is the latest to use the platform.
Sorry bud but the Grand Cherokee has never been a SUV. And that hasnt changed with this generation.
@@BBlackmen He's right the Grand Cherokee is technically a crossover, it has never been a real "truck" like the Ford Explorer or Chevy TrailBlazer used to be. Unibody can be front or real wheel drive.
Black colored cars get dirtier than white ones?????🤦🏿♂️ Naw bro
That door chime..EWK 😖
Of all the named competition, the Jeep is the only fully off-road vehicle of the bunch. Wheels are hideous no matter how you look at them
slow as molasses
First
Too much money for a pentastar V6 🤯 I would rather go for the V8 at that price point 👉
Who offers that?
