The Three-Row Grand Cherokee
The Grand Cherokee L stretches the Grand Cherokee to 204.9 inches for a real third row, seats up to seven, and opens to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo. It starts at $40,920 and carries the same engines and the same 6,200-lb tow rating as the two-row. Covert CDJR Bee Cave stocks the L lineup from Laredo to Summit.
For a growing family out toward Spicewood or up the I-35 corridor, the question is almost always space. The Grand Cherokee L answers it without moving you into a full-size, truck-based SUV. It rides on a 121.7-inch wheelbase, stretches to 204.9 inches long, and adds a third row that folds flat when you would rather have the cargo floor. It still drives like a Grand Cherokee and still fits a normal garage bay.
The full 2026 Grand Cherokee L lineup is sold and serviced at Covert CDJR Bee Cave. This page covers what the L adds over the two-row model, its engines and drivetrain, the chassis hardware, pricing and packages, and which build fits your family. Where a spec is shared with the two-row Grand Cherokee, we link the deeper guide rather than repeat it.
The L is the size-up variant, and every meaningful difference traces back to length. It measures 204.9 inches against the two-row’s 193.5, on a 121.7-inch wheelbase against 116.7, and that extra span is what creates the third row. It seats six as standard on second-row captain’s chairs and up to seven with the no-cost second-row bench. Behind the third row sits 17.2 cubic feet of cargo, and folding both rear rows opens 84.6 cubic feet against the two-row’s 70.8.
The L also carries family hardware the two-row does not need. Three-zone climate control is standard on the Limited, with Quad-Zone Automatic Temperature Control available. There are six USB ports, two USB-A plus USB-C per row. An Interior FamCAM camera, which Jeep calls class-exclusive, puts the second and third rows on the touchscreen. Amazon Fire TV rear-seat entertainment is available, and so is a power-folding third-row bench. The full picture is on the Grand Cherokee L cargo and third row page.
The L uses the same two engines as the two-row, assigned the same way: the trim decides the engine.
293 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft on regular 87 octane. In the L it is EPA-estimated at 19 MPG city / 26 MPG highway / 21 MPG combined with rear-wheel drive, and 18 / 25 / 21 with four-wheel drive. Ratings are published at fueleconomy.gov.
324 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 332 lb-ft from 3,000 to 4,500 rpm, standard across the Laredo Altitude, Limited, 85th Anniversary Edition, Limited Reserve and Summit. EPA-estimated 21 MPG city / 26 MPG highway / 23 MPG combined in rear-wheel drive, and 20 / 25 / 22 with four-wheel drive.
Both engines use an eight-speed automatic. Across the L lineup, rear-wheel drive is standard on the Laredo, Laredo X, Laredo Altitude and Limited, with four-wheel drive a $2,000 option on those four; the Limited Reserve and Summit are four-wheel drive as standard. Because the L is longer and heavier, its EPA numbers run about one MPG behind the equivalent two-row configuration. That is the honest trade for the third row, and it is a small one. Deeper engineering detail is on the engines and performance page.
The L carries the same four-wheel-drive hardware as the two-row across the lineup: Quadra-Trac I and available Quadra-Drive II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential, the five-mode Selec-Terrain system, and available Quadra-Lift air suspension that raises the body for clearance and lowers it at highway speed. Ground clearance is 8.5 inches, a tenth more than the two-row. The turning circle grows to 39.6 feet, and the fuel tank still holds 23.0 gallons.
Properly equipped with a conventional hitch, the L tows up to 6,200 lbs with either engine, the same as the two-row. Its longer body carries more: payload is 1,370 pounds on the L Laredo in either drivetrain, against a 6,500-pound GVWR, and an L Limited 4×4 has a curb weight of 4,692 pounds. When the job is a full third row of passengers plus their gear, the L is the better hauler of the two. The longer wheelbase also settles the ride on the long US-290 West run out toward Dripping Springs.
The Grand Cherokee L opens from $40,920 for the Laredo 4×2 and runs to about $62,600 for the Summit. Every figure below is Jeep’s own Base Price and excludes the $1,995 destination charge, plus tax, title and registration. The L runs exactly $2,000 above the equivalent two-row trim, all the way up the range.
| Trim | Engine | Base Price (excl. destination) |
|---|---|---|
| L Laredo 4×2 | 3.6L V6 | $40,920 |
| L Laredo X 4×2 | 3.6L V6 | $43,415 |
| L Limited 4×2 | 2.0L Hurricane Turbo | $46,320 |
| L Laredo Altitude 4×2 | 2.0L Hurricane Turbo | $46,360 |
| L Limited Reserve 4×4 | 2.0L Hurricane Turbo | $53,915 |
| L Summit 4×4 | 2.0L Hurricane Turbo | $62,600 |
The one option worth knowing before you shop: the second-row 60/40 bench with manual tip and slide is a no-cost choice on the L Limited, and it is what takes seating from six to seven. Four-wheel drive adds $2,000 on the Laredo, Laredo X, Laredo Altitude and Limited. The 85th Anniversary Edition is part of the 2026 L lineup; ask us for current pricing on that one. MSRP excludes destination, taxes, title and registration fees; see our live inventory for current pricing.

The L is the family-size answer inside the Grand Cherokee range. Below it, the two-row Grand Cherokee seats five, is eleven inches shorter, turns a foot and a half tighter, and costs $2,000 less on every shared trim. Above the whole family sits the body-on-frame Grand Wagoneer, an eight-seat flagship for buyers who need maximum room and five-figure towing. Most three-row Jeep shoppers around Georgetown and New Braunfels land on the L, because it seats seven and still drives like the Grand Cherokee they came in wanting. If you are torn, the Grand Cherokee vs Grand Cherokee L comparison settles it in about two minutes.

Six as standard, on second-row captain’s chairs, and up to seven with the no-cost second-row 60/40 bench. The bench is a no-cost option on the L Limited, so seven seats does not have to cost more.
From $40,920 for the L Laredo 4×2 up to about $62,600 for the L Summit, excluding the $1,995 destination charge. The L runs exactly $2,000 above the equivalent two-row trim across the range.
17.2 cubic feet behind the third row with all seats up, and 84.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. The two-row Grand Cherokee tops out at 70.8 cubic feet.
With the V6 it is EPA-estimated at 19 MPG city / 26 MPG highway / 21 MPG combined in rear-wheel drive, and 18 / 25 / 21 with four-wheel drive. With the Hurricane turbo it is 21 / 26 / 23 in rear-wheel drive and 20 / 25 / 22 with four-wheel drive.
Yes. Properly equipped with a conventional hitch, both tow up to 6,200 lbs with either engine. The L actually carries more, with a payload rating of 1,370 pounds on the L Laredo against 1,280 pounds on a two-row Laredo 4×2.
The L measures 204.9 inches against the two-row’s 193.5, on a 121.7-inch wheelbase against 116.7. The turning circle grows from 38.0 to 39.6 feet, which is the figure to keep in mind for a tight garage or a parking structure.
