Cargo space is what most families weigh first, and the two-row Grand Cherokee is sized for a household that wants room without the bulk of a full-size truck-based SUV. Behind the rear seats you get 37.7 cubic feet, enough for a full grocery run or a weekend of gear, and dropping the split-folding rear seatback opens 70.8 cubic feet for the bigger loads. This page focuses on cargo, interior dimensions and seating; for engines, technology and pricing, see the shared guides linked throughout.

If you regularly carry more than five people or want a third row, the stretched Grand Cherokee L adds 11.4 inches of length and up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo. This guide covers the standard two-row model that most South Jersey buyers choose.

Cargo Volume and Configurations

The two-row Grand Cherokee gives you two useful cargo modes:

ConfigurationCargo volume
Behind the second row (five seats up)37.7 cu ft
Rear seats folded (max)70.8 cu ft

The rear seatback splits and folds so you can carry long items on one side and still seat a passenger on the other. An available hands-free power liftgate opens with a kick of the foot when your arms are full of gear in the parking lot.

Interior Dimensions by Row

The Grand Cherokee's cabin is roomy up front and comfortable in back for adults on longer Route 206 drives:

MeasurementFront rowSecond row
Headroom39.9 in39.4 in
Legroom41.3 in38.2 in
Shoulder room59.2 in58.0 in

Overall the two-row measures 193.5 inches long, 77.5 inches wide without mirrors (84.6 inches with the mirrors out) and 70.8 inches tall, riding on a 116.7-inch wheelbase with 8.4 inches of ground clearance and a 38.0-foot turning circle. That footprint handles a rutted boat-ramp approach yet still fits a standard Robbinsville garage.

Seating Configurations and Flexibility

The two-row Grand Cherokee seats five across two rows, with the split-folding rear seatback letting you mix passengers and cargo. LATCH child-seat anchors are standard in the rear outboard positions, and the flat load floor with the seats down makes it easy to slide in a stroller, a cooler and a folding wagon for a day out. If you need seats for six or seven, that is the job of the Grand Cherokee L and its third row.

Cargo Features and Accessibility

Practical touches make the space usable: an available hands-free power liftgate, tie-down hooks in the cargo floor, a wide rear opening for loading bulky items, and available roof rails that accept crossbars for a rooftop box or kayaks. The load floor sits at a comfortable height for lifting a cooler or dog crate in and out. Underfloor storage holds smaller items out of sight. The two-row is rated to carry a payload of up to 1,280 pounds of passengers and cargo.

  • Warehouse run up Route 206: fold one side of the rear seat for a big warehouse haul and still seat three across the back.
