The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the three-row, up-to-seven-seat version of the Grand Cherokee, built for families who want the same capability and refinement with room for the whole crew. It stretches to 204.9 inches long, nearly a foot more than the two-row model, and that added length goes into a usable third row, more passenger space, and up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room. It starts at a MSRP of about $40,415 (excludes destination) for the Laredo. Jeep Portsmouth stocks the L for Seacoast families who run carpools to Dover one day and load up for the beaches at York or Salisbury the next.
This page focuses on what sets the L apart: its size, seating, and cargo. The engines, technology, trims, and safety gear are shared with the two-row Grand Cherokee, so this page links out to those guides rather than repeating them.
The Grand Cherokee L seats up to seven. The standard second row is a pair of captain's chairs, giving the L six seats and a walk-through to the back, and a no-cost 60/40 second-row bench is available if you want the seventh seat. Jeep points to class-leading second-row legroom and more passenger volume than any competitor in the segment, so the middle row is comfortable for adults, not just kids. If you do not need the third row, the shorter two-row Grand Cherokee covers the same capability in a tighter footprint, and our Grand Cherokee vs Grand Cherokee L comparison lays the two out side by side.
Behind the third row, the L holds 17.2 cubic feet, enough for a grocery run or a stroller with the seats up. Fold the second and third rows and that opens to a maximum of 84.6 cubic feet, well ahead of the two-row model's 70.8. Properly equipped, the L tows up to 6,200 pounds, the same rating as the standard Grand Cherokee, so a small camper or boat is well within reach. For the full breakdown of dimensions, legroom by row, and cargo behind each row, see our Grand Cherokee L cargo and dimensions guide.
The L shares its powertrains with the standard Grand Cherokee. The Laredo and Laredo X run the 293-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6, and the new 324-horsepower 2.0L Hurricane 4 Turbo is the engine from the Laredo Altitude on up through Limited and Summit. Both use an eight-speed automatic, with rear-wheel drive standard and four-wheel drive available. For specs, fuel economy, and how the two engines compare, read our Grand Cherokee engine and performance guide, and weigh the trims on our Grand Cherokee trims compared page.
Inside, the refreshed L brings the new 12.3-inch touchscreen, an available 10.25-inch front passenger display, and an available 19-speaker McIntosh audio system, along with three-zone climate control and available heated second-row seats for the family. For the full rundown of cabin tech and driver-assistance features, see our Grand Cherokee technology and safety guide.
