The seven-seat Jeep Grand Cherokee L has gained a fourth variant for 2023, slotting in below the Summit Reserve range-topper.
The familiar Overland trim has returned, on both the new, shorter five-seat body style and the longer L that arrived locally last year.
In the L, it’s priced at $103,250 before on-road costs, helping to fill the gulf between the Limited ($88,750 before on-roads) and Summit Reserve ($119,450 list). Prices for the carryover range are unchanged from last year.
The Overland features the Summit Reserve’s more sophisticated Quadra-Trac II four-wheel drive system with Quadra-Lift adaptive air suspension and hill descent control.
It also includes some of its luxury features like a hands-free power tailgate and a panoramic sunroof, but foregoes some of its more premium features like semi-automatic parking assist and 19-speaker McIntosh sound system.
20-inch alloy wheels are standard, with 18-inch alloys – the smallest on the L range – an option.
They come as part of an Off-Road Group option package, which also adds an electronic limited-slip differential, a 230mm rear axle, and skid plate shields for the front suspension, transfer case and fuel tank.
All models continue to use a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre petrol V6 engine. A turbocharged plug-in hybrid four-cylinder will join the Grand Cherokee line this year but only in the shorter two-row body, while there’s no diesel this generation and the petrol V8 isn’t being offered here.
Elsewhere in the range, the Limited has what Jeep calls TechnoLeather upholstery instead of Capri leather, while the Night Eagle has been upgraded to the same 10.1-inch touchscreen as the rest of the range, ditching its smaller 8.4-inch unit.
All prices exclude on-road costs.
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine producing 210kW of power at 6400rpm and 344Nm of torque at 4000rpm.
It’s mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
The Night Eagle and Limited use Jeep’s Quadra-Trac I full-time four-wheel drive system with a single-speed, electronically shifted transfer case. The Overland and Summit Reserve use the Quadra-Trac II system with low-range gearing and a two-speed transfer case.
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L uses 10.6L/100km on the ADR combined cycle.
It runs on 91 RON regular unleaded fuel and has an 87L fuel tank.
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L measures 5204mm long, 2149mm wide and 1815-1817mm tall on a 3091mm wheelbase.
It has maximum braked towing capacity of 2813kg and unbraked towing capacity of 750kg.
Cargo space measures 487L, expanding to 1328L with the third row dropped and 2395L with the second row folded as well.
All models feature a full-sized 18-inch spare steel wheel.
Approach, breakover and departure angles are 20.6, 18.2 and 21.5 degrees, respectively, on the Night Eagle and Limited.
The Overland has an approach angle of 30.1 degrees and the Summit Reserve one of 28.2 degrees. Both also have breakover and departure angles of 22.6 and 23.6 degrees.
Likewise, running clearance and wading depth are 215mm and 530mm in the Night Eagle and Limited but increase to 276mm and 610mm in the Overland and Summit Reserve.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is covered by a five-year, 100,000km warranty.
It requires servicing every 12 months or 12,000km, with the first five services capped at $399.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L doesn’t have a rating from ANCAP, though the plug-in hybrid version of the two-row Grand Cherokee received a five-star rating from Euro NCAP.

Limited and up get a surround-view camera, Summit Reserve also includes Active Driving Assist level 2 autonomous driving technology.
