Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs Jeep Grand Cherokee

When it’s time to pack up the car and head out on your next adventure, you’ll need the proper vehicle to make the most of every moment. You want a ride that offers the space, the flexibility, and the performance to easily traverse the areas of Franklin, Greenwood, and New Whiteland, Indiana.

For many years, that vehicle has been the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now, however, there’s a new vehicle in the lineup—the Jeep Grand Cherokee L.

In order to showcase this new model and help you determine which version is the right fit for you, Fletcher Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has put together the following Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee comparison.

As we continue this comparison, let’s discuss performance. Again, as with cargo and passenger room, the benefits and the drawbacks between this duo come down to personal preference.

While both vehicles offer 7,200 pounds of available maximum towing capacity when properly equipped, the Grand Cherokee L provides more standard towing at 6,200 pounds. With a capability that's almost double that of the Grand Cherokee’s 3,500 pounds of standard towing, it’s the better option for those looking to haul their boat or their bike.

On the other hand, if you enjoy cruising down Indiana State Road 144, highway driving is where the Grand Cherokee really shines. Under the hood, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk rocks a Supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, delivering 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque.

The Grand Cherokee L does offer an optional 5.7L HEMI® engine; however, it produces a lower 375 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.
