Performance

You'll like the comfortable ride you get in the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Its standard steel suspension absorbs most bumps in the road, while an available air suspension lets you raise or lower its ground clearance by 4.2 inches. The Grand Cherokee L has plenty of oomph for merging on the highway in Augusta, ME. When properly equipped, it can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds. There are four available engines in the Grand Cherokee L, including a V6 and three V8 motors. A plug-in hybrid powertrain is expected to be available soon.

Exterior/Interior

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is 15 inches longer than the standard Grand Cherokee, so it sports a longer hood and a wider grille. It still has the classic seven-slot grille, but there are active shutters to improve fuel economy. Slim LED headlights and taillights and an available gloss-black roof complete the Grand Cherokee L's striking look.

Inside, the Grand Cherokee L has more seating and cargo space. Its second row can slide 7 inches to make more room for passengers in the back. Fold all the rear seats down and you have 84.6 cubic feet of space for camping equipment or sports gear. Standard features in the Grand Cherokee L include the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touch screen, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster.

Capability

You can conquer some of the roughest trails and terrain in the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, which comes standard with 8.5 inches of ground clearance. Models with the air suspension have as much as 10.9 inches of clearance. An optional Off-Road package adds skid plates and one of three four-wheel drive systems that enable you to go almost anywhere. Auburn drivers who want to pull boats or campers on trips will appreciate that the Grand Cherokee L can tow as much as 7,200 pounds when properly equipped.
