Built at the new Detroit Assembly Complex – Mack Plant, the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is scheduled to start arriving in Jeep dealerships later this spring.

The state-of-the-art 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is designed inside and out to deliver unmatched capability and composed driving dynamics. Its renowned 4x4 systems (Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II), class-exclusive Jeep Quadra-Lift air suspension now with electronic adaptive damping and Selec-Terrain traction management system instill Grand Cherokee L with the Jeep brand’s legendary 4x4 capability. Quadra-Drive II, with rear electronic limited slip differential, is available on the Overland 4x4 model when equipped with the Off-Road Group and standard on Summit models.

All three systems are equipped with an active transfer case to improve traction by moving torque to work with the wheel with the most grip. New for the 2021 Grand Cherokee L is a front-axle disconnect, standard on all 4x4 trims.
 
The all-new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers buyers a choice of two powerful, fuel-efficient and refined engines with proven performance for any driving situation. Standard across the lineup is the all-aluminum 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, rated at 290 horsepower and 257 lb.-ft. of torque. Buyers who want more power can opt for the 5.7-liter V-8, rated at 357 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque.


The V-8 engine is optional for Overland and Summit (4x4 models only). Both engines are paired with the durable, robust TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, which enhances fuel economy and delivers crisp and smooth gear changes. The V-8 model delivers class-leading towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds.

Designed to maximize overall passenger safety, comfort and convenience, Jeep Grand Cherokee L packs a powerful punch with next-generation features and technologies that make it a stand out in the full-size SUV segment.
 
The all-new Grand Cherokee L delivers the most advanced, high-tech safety and security features in its class, with more than 110 innovative applications of technologies and ample standard content across the entire lineup.
 
The Grand Cherokee L introduces Active Driving Assist (Level 2) for hands-on-wheel and eyes-on-road automated driving using lane-centering with adaptive cruise control. Available on Overland and standard on Summit models, the system uses multiple sensors, including radars and cameras, to dictate appropriate roads for the technology.
 
A night vision camera is also available on Overland and Summit models and uses thermographic technology to augment the reach of the Grand Cherokee L’s headlamps. Infrared sensors search for the heat signatures of pedestrians and animals in the road ahead, at distances up to 219 yards (200 meters).

The most technologically equipped Jeep Grand Cherokee ever features significant next-generation innovations, including the most advanced Uconnect system ever, rear-seat monitoring camera, digital rearview mirror, full-color windshield HUD, front-row wireless charging pad for devices and an available premium 950-watt, 19-speaker McIntosh audio system.
 
The all-new Uconnect 5 system, standard across the 2021 Grand Cherokee lineup, includes a 10.1-inch digital display and intuitive user experience. The system delivers operating speeds that are five times faster when compared to the previous generation. The advanced system also delivers customizable user profiles, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and Alexa “Home to Car” functionality.

The new Grand Cherokee L also gives owners a bird’s-eye view of precious cargo, courtesy of the rear-seat monitoring camera available on Limited, Overland and Summit models. The system projects a best-in-class, high-definition image and delivers several segment-exclusive features, including a clear view of second-row, rear-facing child seat occupants, a split-view display and a unique “zoom-to-seat” function.
 
A digital rearview camera system, optional on Limited models and above, replaces the conventional rearview mirror with a 9.2-inch-wide LCD that shows real-time video from a rear-facing camera. Unlike a conventional rearview mirror, the new digital camera system offers a view that is unobstructed by the D-pillars or rear seats. When not in use as a display, the screen reverts back to a reflective mirror.
 
Additionally, a windshield HUD is available on Overland models and above. The full-color display is configurable up to 10 inches and provides key vehicle information to the driver, including speed, speed limit, navigation and driver assist systems (when equipped).
 
Debuting first on the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a premium McIntosh audio system. Available on Overland and Summit models and standard with the Summit Reserve Package, the advanced, high-performance audio system features a 17-channel amplifier with a maximum output of 950 watts and 19 speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer, to envelope vehicle occupants in high-definition sound.
