Grand Cherokee offers a two-row body or the three-row Grand Cherokee L. Start with passenger capacity and cargo layout, then compare the trim-specific engine and cabin equipment.

Grand Cherokee seats five in two rows. Grand Cherokee L adds a third row, with six standard seats and an available second-row bench for seven. Compare the two body configurations using the rows that will remain occupied.
| Grand Cherokee | Two rows; five seats |
|---|---|
| Grand Cherokee L | Three rows; six standard seats |
| L with second-row bench | Seven seats |
Grand Cherokee has two rows; Grand Cherokee L has three. Grand Cherokee cargo and Grand Cherokee L cargo change as rear seats fold. The L offers a second-row bench for seven seats.

The trim determines the fitted engine rather than a free choice between both engines at every level. Compare engine and performance equipment before narrowing the cabin and appearance options.

|---|---|
| 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo | 324 horsepower; 332 lb-ft |

Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive availability depend on the trim. The properly equipped Grand Cherokee towing maximum is 6,200 pounds. The rating for an individual SUV depends on its engine and towing equipment.

|---|---|
| Turbo spark plugs | Mileage-based 2.0L engine requirement |
| Transfer-case fluid | Normal and severe-use schedules differ |
| FlexCare | Purchased plan; scheduled maintenance is not complimentary |
