The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the three-row, long-wheelbase version of Jeep’s flagship SUV, seating seven passengers in a body-on-frame package that carries up to 6,200 lbs and qualifies for every major trail-rated badge in the lineup. For buyers who need a third row without giving up serious towing capability or Jeep’s trail credibility, the Grand Cherokee L occupies a distinct position in the segment. The 2027 model year brings targeted content additions at key trim levels and new color options while carrying over the core lineup. Here is what dealers paid and what you should be targeting.
The 2027 Grand Cherokee L spans twelve trim configurations across six trim levels. 4×2 drivetrains are available on Laredo, Laredo X, Altitude, and Limited. All higher trims are 4×4 standard. Prices below exclude the $1,995 destination charge.

Jeep charges $1,995 for destination and delivery on the 2027 Grand Cherokee L. With destination included, the range runs from $43,725 on the Laredo 4×2 to $67,125 on the Summit Obsidian 4×4.
The 2027 Grand Cherokee L is primarily a carryover year with targeted content updates across specific trims. The changes that apply across the Grand Cherokee family and to the L include:
For buyers, a largely-carryover year on the Grand Cherokee L is a positive: the 2.0-liter Hurricane turbocharged four-cylinder introduced in the 2026 model year is well-established, reliability data is accumulating, and the targeted content additions at the Laredo and Limited levels make entry-level trims meaningfully better equipped without a significant price increase.
The 2027 Grand Cherokee L offers two powertrains. Laredo and Laredo X trims use the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 producing 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. All higher trims, from the Altitude through the Summit Obsidian, use the 2.0-liter Hurricane turbocharged four-cylinder producing 324 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 332 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM. Both engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
EPA fuel economy (V6, 4×4): 18 city, 25 highway mpg. EPA fuel economy (Hurricane I-4, 4×4): 20 city, 25 highway mpg. The turbocharged four-cylinder’s fuel economy advantage over the V6 is most evident in city driving, where the turbo unit’s greater efficiency on regular fuel gives it a 2 mpg edge.
Towing: Up to 6,200 lbs when properly equipped on 4×4 configurations. This is among the highest tow ratings in the three-row family SUV class. A Class IV hitch receiver is standard on Summit trims and available on lower trims. Towing capacity varies by trim and drivetrain configuration; confirm the specific rating on the vehicle’s door jamb label before towing.
Seating and cargo: The Grand Cherokee L seats seven in standard three-row configuration, with split-folding second and third rows. Cargo behind the third row is approximately 17.2 cubic feet, expanding to approximately 85 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. The longer wheelbase versus the standard Grand Cherokee provides meaningful rear-seat legroom in the third row, distinguishing it from competitors whose third rows are primarily for occasional emergency use.
Dimensions: 204.9 inches overall length, 77.5 inches width, 71.5 inches height, 121.7-inch wheelbase. Ground clearance ranges from 10.9 to 14.0 inches depending on trim and suspension configuration. Curb weight is approximately 4,883 lbs on Laredo 4×4 configurations, rising to approximately 5,068 lbs on the Summit.
Warranty: Jeep covers the 2027 Grand Cherokee L with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, 5-year corrosion warranty, and 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance. Chrysler’s powertrain warranty is shorter than Hyundai’s, Kia’s, and Mitsubishi’s class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile coverage, which is worth noting for buyers who plan to own the vehicle long-term.
The Laredo 4×2 ($41,730) and Laredo 4×4 ($43,730) use the 3.6-liter V6 and are the entry trims. For 2027, they gain the larger 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, replacing the 8.4-inch unit from prior years. Additional standard content includes dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, a backup camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The Laredo 4×2 is a meaningful value proposition for buyers who do not need 4×4 and are prioritizing the lowest entry price into a three-row Jeep.
The Laredo X 4×2 ($44,225) and Laredo X 4×4 ($46,225) add appearance content to the Laredo’s feature base, including a sport appearance package with unique trim details and wheel designs. The Laredo X continues to use the V6 powertrain. Buyers cross-shopping the Laredo X and the Altitude should note that the Altitude steps up to the Hurricane turbocharged four-cylinder, which delivers more horsepower and better city fuel economy.
The Altitude 4×2 ($46,960) and Altitude 4×4 ($48,960) mark the switch to the 2.0-liter Hurricane turbocharged four-cylinder, adding 31 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque over the V6 while improving city fuel economy. The Altitude also brings a black appearance package with gloss black exterior accents, a power driver’s seat with memory, a power passenger seat, and a panoramic sunroof. The Altitude’s combination of the upgraded powertrain, the appearance package, and the larger sunroof at under $49,000 with destination makes it a strong value in the middle of the lineup.
The Limited 4×2 ($47,130) and Limited 4×4 ($49,130) are the comfort-focused mid-level trims. For 2027, the Limited gains a standard wireless charging pad, rain-sensing wipers, and new 20-inch wheels. It also brings leather seating, ventilated front seats, a 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and a hands-free power liftgate. The Limited 4×4 at $49,130 with the Hurricane engine, ventilated leather seats, and the new standard wireless charging is one of the strongest value points in the 2027 GCL lineup.
The Limited Reserve 4×4 ($54,725) adds the McIntosh 19-speaker premium audio system, a surround-view camera, a power-folding third row, and automatic power-folding mirrors (new for 2027). The McIntosh audio system is a meaningful differentiator, as most competitors at this price point offer Bose or Harman Kardon systems. For buyers who spend significant time in the vehicle and prioritize audio quality, the Limited Reserve’s McIntosh system justifies a meaningful portion of the $5,595 premium over the Limited 4×4.
The Overland 4×4 ($57,900) returns to the Grand Cherokee L lineup for 2027. The Overland traditionally occupies the position between the fully-equipped Limited Reserve and the ultra-premium Summit, adding outdoor-capability-inspired content and additional luxury features. The Overland brings Nappa leather seating, an updated interior treatment, and additional capability-focused content for buyers who want premium appointments with a trail-oriented identity. Confirm current Overland feature content with your dealer as the trim re-enters the lineup.
The Summit 4×4 ($63,130) is the flagship trim. It adds the Grand Cherokee L’s most complete feature set: a 12.3-inch primary display, night vision with pedestrian and animal detection, a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, massaging front seats, heated second-row seats, a 19-speaker McIntosh Reference audio system, adaptive suspension, and a panoramic sunroof. The Summit competes directly with the highest trims of the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, and Toyota Grand Highlander, and it typically delivers more technology content than those vehicles at comparable price points.
The Summit Obsidian 4×4 ($65,130) adds a blacked-out exterior appearance package to the Summit’s full feature content, including gloss black wheels, black exterior badging, and dark exterior trim throughout. It is for buyers who want the Summit’s complete feature set with a blacked-out visual identity.
The Grand Cherokee L’s 4×2 option on Laredo, Laredo X, Altitude, and Limited trims saves $2,000 compared to the equivalent 4×4 configuration. In most driving conditions, including light snow, rain, and unpaved roads, the 4×2 is adequate. The 4×4 becomes genuinely important for buyers who regularly drive in heavy snow, tow near the vehicle’s maximum rating, or take the vehicle on trails or unpaved surfaces.
For urban and suburban buyers in mild climates who will never use the Grand Cherokee L’s trail capability, the 4×2 saves $2,000 at purchase and slightly reduces running costs due to the lighter drivetrain. For buyers in northern climates or who cross-shop the GCL for its towing capability, the 4×4 is worth the premium. Towing at or near maximum capacity is safer with 4×4 engagement available on demand.
The V6 is standard only on Laredo and Laredo X trims. If budget allows the Altitude or Limited, the Hurricane four-cylinder’s 324 hp, 332 lb-ft, and better fuel economy represent a meaningful upgrade over the V6’s 293 hp and 260 lb-ft. The Hurricane’s turbocharged architecture delivers its peak torque lower in the RPM range than the V6, which translates to better feel in everyday driving and towing situations.
Buyers who want the maximum towing capability the Grand Cherokee L offers (6,200 lbs) should note that this rating is achievable with the Hurricane engine on properly equipped 4×4 trims. The V6 also carries a 6,200-lb towing rating when properly equipped, so the powertrain choice does not affect maximum tow capacity. The Hurricane’s advantage is its added horsepower and torque margin, which makes sustained highway towing at capacity less taxing on the engine.
As of late October 2026, published manufacturer incentives specific to the 2027 Grand Cherokee L are limited. Conditional bonuses confirmed through early 2027 include a $500 military appreciation bonus on select trims and a $500 first responder bonus, both with expiration dates extending into January 2027. A $1,000 automobility bonus is also confirmed through January 4, 2027 on Summit configurations. A $1,500 retail bonus cash is currently available on the Altitude 4×2 through November 2, 2026.
Jeep’s 2026 Grand Cherokee L programs were significantly more aggressive, reflecting end-of-model-year inventory clearance. As 2027 inventory builds and the model year matures, buyers can expect more structured incentive programs to emerge. Jeep typically runs APR deals, lease programs, and cash rebates on the Grand Cherokee L, and historical programs have included 0% financing on select trims and rebates of $2,000 to $4,000 on higher trims during strong incentive periods.
Check Jeep’s website or ask your dealer for the current month’s programs before finalizing any purchase or lease, as programs are updated monthly.
The Grand Cherokee L’s invoice gaps run from $835 on the Laredo 4×2 to $1,542 on the Limited Reserve. The tightest gaps are on the entry Laredo trims, which reflects both higher buyer demand and less pricing flexibility at the bottom of the lineup. The Limited Reserve and Altitude trims show the widest gaps in absolute and relative terms, giving buyers the most room to work with on those configurations.
Invoice is your negotiating anchor. On the Limited 4×4 at $49,130 MSRP with an invoice of $48,147, a realistic opening offer is $48,400 to $48,700 before destination and options, placing the dealer modestly above invoice while clearly signaling you have done the research. On the Summit at $63,130, a target in the $62,200 to $62,700 range is a reasonable opening position.
The Altitude is the best-value step in the lineup. At $48,960 for the 4×4, the Altitude brings the Hurricane engine, a panoramic sunroof, black appearance package, and power front seats at a price point just $830 above the Limited 4×2. For buyers who prioritize the powertrain upgrade and the panoramic roof over the Limited’s ventilated leather seats and wireless charging, the Altitude 4×4 is the stronger value choice at virtually the same MSRP.
The Limited to Limited Reserve gap deserves scrutiny. The $5,595 jump from the Limited 4×4 to the Limited Reserve buys the McIntosh audio system, a surround-view camera, and a power-folding third row. Buyers who regularly use the third row and want the folding functionality to be power-assisted will value it; buyers who rarely use the third row and can live without McIntosh audio should seriously consider stopping at the Limited 4×4.
Shop by email across multiple dealers. Jeep dealers in competitive markets will negotiate more actively than single-franchise markets. Send the same trim and option configuration request to three or four dealers and ask for their best out-the-door price before visiting any of them. Out-the-door pricing includes all fees, which is the only number that matters for comparison.
Watch for end-of-quarter programs. December 2026 and March 2027 are historically the strongest incentive windows for Stellantis vehicles. Buyers who can time their purchase to those windows typically find better APR offers and more cash back than in fall months when fresh 2027 inventory has just arrived.
The Grand Cherokee L’s primary three-row competitors are the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Volkswagen Atlas. At the entry level, the Palisade and Telluride start around $38,000 to $39,000, undercutting the Grand Cherokee L Laredo by approximately $3,000 to $5,000. Those Korean competitors deliver more standard technology at lower price points but cannot match the Grand Cherokee L’s 6,200-lb tow rating or its approach and departure angles for off-road use.
The Toyota Grand Highlander, which starts around $42,000, offers available hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains that the Grand Cherokee L does not. The Grand Highlander Hybrid’s approximately 36 combined mpg significantly outpaces the Grand Cherokee L’s 20 to 21 combined mpg on the Hurricane engine. For buyers who prioritize fuel economy, the Grand Highlander Hybrid’s efficiency lead is substantial and difficult to overcome on a per-mile-cost basis.
2025 Jeep® Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve
The Grand Cherokee L’s strongest competitive advantages are its best-in-class 6,200-lb tow rating, its genuine trail capability on 4×4 trims, the McIntosh audio system available on Limited Reserve and Summit trims, night vision on the Summit, and the meaningful interior quality step at the upper trims that exceeds most Japanese and Korean three-row competitors at similar price points. For buyers who tow a boat, camper, or trailer regularly and want a vehicle that feels genuinely premium in the top half of the lineup, the Grand Cherokee L remains one of the most complete three-row family SUVs available for under $70,000.
