Jeep Philippines, under the management of IC Automotive Inc., shared 10 reasons to like the Grand Cherokee L, and why it can make for a great road-trip chariot. So if you’re in the market for a luxury SUV that can fit the entire family, then you better pay attention.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L
3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine w/ Engine Start-Stop
According to the brand, the 3.6-liter V6 heart of the Grand Cherokee L is a huge highlight of its appeal. At the most, it can make up to 282 horsepower and 344 Nm of torque. Power is then managed by an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It also gets an engine start-stop (ESS) system which the brand says can increase efficiency by automatically shutting off the vehicle during a stop.
Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof
Enjoyment during a road trip is maximized if your vehicle has a sunroof. On that note, Jeep fitted the Grand Cherokee L with a particularly large dual-pane sunroof with a vent for ventilation. The model also gets an optional power sunshade to easily close it off when not in use.

Power Liftgate
Thanks to this Jeep model’s power liftgate, the brand says that loading up on cargo and travel essentials is easy. Making it more convenient is its automatic open and close function when the key is nearby.
10.25-inch Digital Gauge Cluster and 10.1-inch Central Touchscreen
Jeep adds that the Grand Cherokee L is also quite tech-forward. This is thanks to its 10.25-inch digital cluster which can feed important driving information directly to the driver. More driving data is likewise displayed via a windshield heads-up display which the brand says helps keep one’s eyes on the road.
This Jeep model also has a 360-degree-view feature
Besides the digital gauge cluster, this model also comes with a 10.1-inch central touchscreen which the brand touts is a must-have for on-board entertainment. It comes with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as the Uconnect 5 connectivity software.
Paired with the touchscreen display is a nine-piece Alpine audio system which Jeep says is perfect for in-car jam session. The vehicle also has a FamCam feature allowing for easier communication between the vehicle’s occupants.

Digital Rearview Mirror
If your rearview is blocked by passengers or cargo, Jeep adds that its digital rearview mirror can easily solve that. With a push of a button, it can display a video feed of the rear of the vehicle making for easier parking and maneuvering in tight corners.
7-Seater Capacity and Leather Seats
As mentioned above, Jeep considers the Grand Cherokee L as a family-friendly ride. This is thanks to its three rows of leather-clad seating. Plus, the seats can be re-arranged in multiple configurations making the interior more versatile.

Quadra-Trac I 4WD System
