South Jersey’s Three-Row Jeep
The Grand Cherokee L takes everything South Jersey families like about the Grand Cherokee and stretches it nearly a foot for a real third row and seating for up to seven. It carries the same engines, the same Trail Rated capability, and up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo. Every L trim, from Laredo to Summit, is on the ground for families from Toms River to Lawrenceville at our Lumberton showroom.
For a growing family on the Jersey Shore or up the Route 130 corridor, the question is usually space. The Grand Cherokee L answers it without asking you to move up to a full-size truck-based SUV. It shares its platform, engines and technology with the two-row Grand Cherokee but rides on a 121.7-inch wheelbase, stretches to 204.9 inches long, and adds a third row that folds flat for cargo when you do not need the seats. The result is a three-row Jeep that still drives like a Grand Cherokee and still parks in a normal Toms River driveway.
The full 2026 Grand Cherokee L lineup is sold right here at Lucas Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. This overview covers what the L adds over the standard Grand Cherokee, the engines and how four-wheel drive is offered, the chassis hardware, pricing and packages, and which build fits your family. Where a spec is shared with the two-row model, we point you to the deeper shared guides rather than repeat them. When a price matters, we send you to live inventory instead of a number that may have moved.
The L is the size-up variant, and the differences are all about space. It is 11.4 inches longer overall and rides on a wheelbase five inches longer than the two-row model, which is what creates room for the third row. It seats six as standard with second-row captain’s chairs and up to seven with the no-cost second-row bench. Behind that third row sits 17.2 cubic feet of cargo, and folding the rear rows opens up to 84.6 cubic feet, versus 70.8 in the two-row. Jeep also gives the L three-zone climate control as standard, available quad-zone climate, an available Interior FamCAM camera that shows the second and third rows on the touchscreen, and an available power-folding third row. The full cargo and dimensions story lives on the Grand Cherokee L cargo and third row page.
The L uses the same two engines as the two-row model, assigned by trim:
The 293-horsepower, 260-lb-ft V6 runs on regular 87 octane and returns EPA estimates near 18/25 mpg city/highway in four-wheel-drive form, about one mpg below the shorter two-row model because of the L’s added length and weight. EPA ratings are published at fueleconomy.gov.
The 324-horsepower, 332-lb-ft Hurricane turbo four is standard from the Laredo Altitude up through the Summit and returns roughly 20/25 mpg. Both engines use an eight-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the lower trims with four-wheel drive about a $2,000 option, and the Limited Reserve, Summit and 85th Anniversary Edition are 4×4 standard. The deeper engineering detail is on the engines and performance page.
The L carries the same 4×4 hardware as the standard Grand Cherokee: Quadra-Trac I and available Quadra-Drive II four-wheel-drive systems, the five-mode Selec-Terrain traction system, and an available Quadra-Lift air suspension that raises the body for clearance and lowers it on the highway. Ground clearance runs 8.5 inches, a tenth more than the two-row. Standard 18-inch wheels move up to available 20s. Properly equipped, the L tows up to 6,200 pounds with either engine, and its longer body carries a higher payload rating of up to 1,370 pounds, making it the better hauler of the two when a full third row of passengers plus gear is the job. Ride quality along Route 130 and out on I-295 benefits from the longer wheelbase.
The Grand Cherokee L starts around $40,920 for the Laredo and runs to roughly $62,600 for a loaded Summit, typically about $2,000 above the equivalent two-row trim. Those figures exclude the destination charge and move through the model year, so we keep current numbers on live inventory. Popular options on the L include:
| Package or option | Adds | Approx. price |
|---|---|---|
| Second-row 60/40 bench | Brings seating from six to seven | No cost |
| Trailer Tow Package | Hitch and wiring for the 6,200-lb rating | +$995 |
| Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof | Full-length glass roof | +$1,595 |
| Luxury Tech Group II | Advanced driver aids and convenience tech | +$2,925 |
Prices exclude tax, title, registration and the destination charge; see live inventory for current figures. Compare the L against its two-row sibling in the Grand Cherokee vs Grand Cherokee L guide, or run your numbers with our payment and pre-approval tools.
The L is the family-size answer within the Grand Cherokee range. Below it is the two-row Grand Cherokee, which seats five, parks a touch easier and costs a bit less. Above the whole Grand Cherokee family is the full-size, body-on-frame Grand Wagoneer, the eight-seat flagship for buyers who need maximum room and five-figure towing. Most three-row Jeep shoppers in South Jersey land on the L because it seats seven and still drives and parks like the Grand Cherokee they already wanted.
