2027 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Two rows or three: compare the 2027 Grand Cherokee against the Grand Cherokee L on seating, cargo and length.
The 2027 Grand Cherokee comes in two body styles built on the same platform: a 2-row model seating up to 5, and the Grand Cherokee L, stretched to a third row for up to 7. Both share the same two engines, the same 6,200-pound best-in-class towing rating, and the same ten-trim naming structure. Premier Cape Cod stocks both, and this page lines them up so you can pick the one that actually fits your household.
Quick Take: Grand Cherokee vs Grand Cherokee L
The standard-wheelbase Grand Cherokee seats up to 5 across two rows, measures 193.5 inches long, and carries 37.7 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row, expanding to 70.8 cubic feet folded. It's the shorter, easier-to-garage version of the platform, built for a household that doesn't regularly carry more than five people.
The Grand Cherokee L adds a third row on a longer wheelbase, seating up to 6 with available second-row captain's chairs or 7 with a bench seat. It measures 204.9 inches long in Summit trim, carries 17.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the third row, and expands to 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. An available Interior FamCam lets front-seat occupants keep an eye on the back rows, and the L adds two USB-A and USB-C ports per row.
| Spec | 2-Row Grand Cherokee | Grand Cherokee L |
|---|---|---|
| Engines | 3.6L V6, 2.0L Hurricane Turbo | 3.6L V6, 2.0L Hurricane Turbo |
| Max towing | 6,200 lbs, properly equipped | 6,200 lbs, properly equipped |
| EPA combined, Turbo 2WD | 23 mpg | 23 mpg |
| EPA combined, V6 2WD | 22 mpg | 21 mpg |
The Hurricane Turbo makes 324 horsepower on both bodies; the V6 makes 293 horsepower on both bodies. Warranty terms don't separate them either: both get 3 years/36,000 miles of basic and 5 years/60,000 miles of powertrain coverage.
Technology is shared across both bodies: the same 10.1-inch standard touchscreen on Laredo and Laredo X, the same available 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 NAV on higher trims, and the same McIntosh audio system standard on Summit. The Grand Cherokee L adds two features the 2-row doesn't have: the available Interior FamCam for watching the back rows, and an extra set of USB-A/USB-C ports for the third row.
Both bodies share the same trim names and the same $1,995 destination charge. The 2-row Laredo starts at $41,515. Grand Cherokee L pricing for 2027 has not been broken out separately in what Jeep has published so far; a Build & Price session at Premier Cape Cod confirms the current L premium on any trim.
Shorter at 193.5 inches, easier to fit in a standard garage or a tight Cape Cod driveway. Lower starting price at $41,515. Simpler to park in a village-center angled space in Falmouth or downtown Hyannis.
Seats up to 7 versus 5. Up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo folded versus 70.8. The available Interior FamCam and extra USB ports make it the pick for a household that regularly drives with a full car of kids or gear, from a South Shore carpool run to a Nickerson State Park camping trip.
If you're mostly carrying five or fewer people and want a Grand Cherokee that garages easily, the standard 2-row body gives you everything the platform offers at the lower starting price. If you regularly carry six or seven, whether that's a full family, a carpool, or gear for a weekend trip, the Grand Cherokee L's extra row and cargo room are built for exactly that. Every 2027 trim, from Laredo through Summit, is available in both bodies.
Premier Cape Cod Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Hyannis stocks both the 2-row Grand Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee L, in any 2027 trim. Drivers from Barnstable and Falmouth to Plymouth, Marion, Dartmouth, Raynham and Marshfield make the trip for exactly this comparison. Call (508) 815-5000 to schedule a side-by-side test drive.
Length is the practical tiebreaker: the L Summit's extra 11.4 inches disappear on a highway commute over the Bourne Bridge but show up fast in a tight Craigville Beach lot in August.
Up to 6 with available second-row captain's chairs, or 7 with a bench seat.
