The Jeep brand is synonymous with off-roading prowess. That reputation is upheld by the newest and biggest SUV in its lineup, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The Grand Cherokee L is the first three-row variant of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but that extra size only adds to the fun when you take it off the beaten path. Let’s take a look at all the off-roading capabilities of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
All the Hardware to Handle the Mud
When equipped with the available Off-Road Group, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L tracks through mud, over rocks, and across the water with ease. The Jeep Quadra-Lift® Suspension System can ford up to 24 inches of water and provides a best-in-class available ground clearance of 10.9 inches to crawl over rocks of basically any size. Couple that with a 30.1-degree approach, 22.6-degree break over, and 23.6 departure angles in the Overland trim with air suspension, and there’s nothing you can’t handle.
Powerful Off-Roading Engine and All-Wheel Drive Options
You have two familiar engines to choose from to power your Jeep Grand Cherokee L: the 3.6L Pentastar V6, pulling 293 hp and 260 lb-ft. of torque, and the 5.7L Hemi V8, which pumps out 357 hp and 390 lb-ft. of torque. Both of which are mated to the TorqueFlite 8HP70 8-speed automatic transmission. Either engine gives plenty of get-up-and-go for traversing the trails and roaring ahead from a stop in traffic, so you’ve only got to decide whether you want a Hemi or not.
There are several All-Wheel-Drive options to choose from, too: the standard Quadra-Trac I can automatically switch between two- and four-wheel drive for efficiency, or the Quadra-Drive II 4WD system with the electronic limited-slip differential rear axle, part of the Off-Road Group package, provides excellent grip over rocks, mud, and slippery surfaces.
Plenty of Comfort Inside, Too
Just because this Jeep is rugged and powerful doesn’t mean it can’t be refined as well. Inside, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is quiet and smooth, with comfortable and spacious seating for up to seven. An available 19-speaker McIntosh sound system and 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen provide the mood music for every drive, and available multicolor ambient LED lighting provides sophistication. When you have a lot of gear, fold down the second and third rows for 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space. And of course, the Grand Cherokee L includes the most available safety and security features in its class, so you can rest assured that you’ll get to your destination.
