I upgraded my 2014 GC Limited to the 2021 GC-L Overland with all the extras and 4x4. I love it. I don't have kids, but I like having the extra space. I prefer this over the Tahoe and others like it simply because they're actually much bulkier and, I feel much safer in GC in severe road conditions than I would in a Tahoe. As high as the price is on these, it's actually comparable to other SUVs in its class. And from all the shopping around I did recently, you can't buy anything else in this class, with all these options at this price. Most brands out there don't even offer a good chunk of the options you get with this.. I love mine. ❤️
I've watched them all but this is the best review video I've seen. Only one to show the key holder too. Great job! Just got an Overland yesterday and we love it. The Mcintosh stereo booms! 🍻
Theyre amazing. Summit Reserve is the nicest GC to date, thats not SRT or Trackhawk. When the 5 passenger Hemi model hits im buying one.
I agree with you. The 3-row Grand Cherokee L could shift sales away from the 2-row variant scheduled for later this year. Thank you for this excellent review!
No problem, thanks for commenting!
it doesn't matter since both are built in the same plant on the same assembly line.
22 GCL V6 Overland with 60k miles. Great looking vehicle. No issues.
I am obsessed with my Summit Reserve! Have had her 2 weeks and she drives like a dream.💗🤗🙌🏻
You do a nice job describing this ride and the function of so many gadgets they have put into this model. You also talked about the second row bench seat which is something we want and cannot find in the Steel Gray color we want. This video was made covering the 2021 model. Here we are in May, 2022 and we are hearing we cannot order what we want. Kinda early in the year to shut off ordering! Strange times for them and potential customers.
Great review. I better not show this to my wife. She'll want it for sure.
front splash guard to stop water, mud from jumping up as you drive forward.
This thing aired out lowered all the down looks crazy!!!! Owned a Durango RT for 5 years. Just sold my car to Carmax (30% over value) and ordered 1 of these Overland 4x4 in bright white with the bench seats of course. Can’t wait !!!!
That’s awesome!
Great review. I appreciate your point of view. You hit all the points that I look for in am SUV.
Thanks Eric, really appreciate your comment 👍🏾
Hello JB Reviews. Good review video for the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Overland trim. This was the trim I was waiting on for review. The fun starts with this trim level in terms of luxury. This would be the trim level of choice for me. In general the Jeep Grand Cherokee L will not be bad news for me. I test drove it couple weeks ago. Overall ride was nice n comfy and it wasn't even the top trim I test drove. One I test drove was in the Limited trim. So, just imagine how the higher trims Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve feels like. At the time for the test drive it didn't feel like a third row seating vehicle. It didn't feel heavy or wobbling. When the time comes for me to get the Jeep Grand Cherokee L I'll get it in the Overland trim nicely equipped with the legendary 5.7 liter HEMI V8 engine. The rims shown in this video I would get those as well and the gloss black roof. I'm not a fan of captain chairs in the second row, so I would get the second row bench seat.
Great info Jeffrey, I think most people cross shopping the JGCL will love the overall look and increased space but for most who have owned the 5 row JGC Will probably still prefer that one especially when they redesign it 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork The new generation fifth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee with the usual two rows of seats will be out. Either by November or December it'll get released. Some people are waiting on that. The overall appearance will be like the 3rd row seating Jeep Grand Cherokee L, but with couple other differences besides being a little shorter in length. Earlier this year back in January at the presentation event, Jeep said they decided to include third row seating based on requests made by current Jeep Grand Cherokee owners. The requests made to include 3rd row seating wasn't a little bit. It was more than quite of few requests to a good amount made including one by me. They said another reason to include third row seating this time was that most of the rival mid-size SUVs have third row seating. In general third row seating was rumored for the third generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, but it never came to fruition. Third row seating was also rumored for the outgoing fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, but once again it never came to fruition. Now it did for the fifth generation and I'm glad for that. One thing I noticed with Jeep is that the advantage they have over the competitors is overall flexibility. Flexibility in terms of features, trim levels available, engine powertrains available and in this case vehicle sizes. Later this year after the new generation two row seating Jeep Grand Cherokee gets released, Jeep will have two kinds of mid-size SUVs for people to choose from. Actually, three if you include the four door Wrangler. Two regarding the Grand Cherokee though. Not all, but most of the competitors only have one mid-size SUV in their lineup. With the Grand Cherokee if someone wants more space along with more passenger capacity choosing the Jeep Grand Cherokee L would be best instead going to a rival competitor. If they're not concerned about passenger capacity the regular two row seating Grand Cherokee would be more suitable. Whoever is shopping around can pick and choose what they want in the Jeep lineup which is good. Both the third row seating Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the two row seating Jeep Grand Cherokee will do well in overall sales.
I am considering the L over the two row because I need a little more cargo area and I would leave the third row folded down. I’d really like to get a Ram 1500, but it’s too big to park in many places in L.A. and won’t fit in my garage. I currently have a 2014 Overland.
With the trailer tow package, you can get the air suspension in the Laredo for $995. Out standing review! Thank you for making it.
Ha anyone confirmed that?! Because that would be a steal!

Rear Load-Leveling Suspension under the Trailer tow package. That is an air suspension package.
Strange question. During your test drive period, did you notice any vibrations while sitting at idle in gear, with your foot on the brake; or during quick acceleration with vibrations in the gas pedal? I just bought a used 2021 JGC L Overland, with the 5.7 and I’m noticing some strange subtle vibrations.
You have the best video out. Excellent walk around you get to appreciate the design. A lot of other videos show their face more than the car, and just skim over the car so fast.
Thanks Cesar, this is a new model so I like to get in depth with the design and there’s a lot going on with it lol 👍🏾
Finally found one like we wanted, so we drove over 550 miles to trade for it. That was 3 weeks ago. Where are the garment hooks we should see along each side towards to back? Can't seem to find them. Oh, maybe that's a trade off for all the electronics. I'm thinking we will need to get some suction cup hangers to stick on the top of the back windows so we can put our hanging rod across there to hang our cloths on for our trip.
Have a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee overland with the diesel engine and I'm waiting see if they add that to this model. Then I will be upgrading
Good point, I doubt they bring the eco diesel to the L since the 4XE will play a bigger role for Stellantis… I would love to see the diesel though
I agree me too. I have the JGC Summit Diesel 2015. I lost alot power tho when I got the patch for the eco diesel as if I knew this id never taken it in for the patch.
I don’t like the from of this new Grand Cherokee the rear is nice I love the LED taillights
Agree!
Love what Jeep is up to. Theyve recreated "mainstream luxury". This thing is so boss! Interesting thing here is the overlap with the Summit. @$62k, you can get a Summit for that price, which is even more luxurious, all before stepping up to the Reserve for about $4k more.
Yup, I think RAM started this fire back in 19 and it’s really starting to show here 👍🏾
Very Good video JB.
I do agree with what you say in regards to the size in that for say a family of two children and two adults the Standard Wheelbase Jeep Grand Cherokee would be sufficient, and when you go to the larger families the JGC L versions would suit them very well. I cannot get over the Tech that is in the new Overland L, it is now mind blowing......lol
I am looking forward to see if Jeep bring out the new 5.7 JGC Standard Wheelbase. People say buy the Diesel, but it is not for me as I do not do the miles anymore like I used to as I am now Retired and I find myself sticking close to home because of the COVID Pandemic.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Have a 2015 grand Cherokee - was 35k. Current model not worth $62k much better luxury suvs in that segment.
To help you. The grand Cherokee Is actually available with 7 seats! If you build one on the website, it says an optional 40/20/40 seat!! Love the vids!
Correct, I mentioned the bench towards the end but the biggest issue is it should have come standard as a 7 passenger with the captain chairs in the second row. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork ok! Agreed!
Why would they go with those wrist watch fog lights on this when the cheaper limited gets the strips. That’s so incredibly annoying.
I see this like what the panamera was to porsche lovers. When the family got bigger you could still own a porsche it just was not a two seater.
💯
Thought the GC-L is supposed to give you like 21mpg. Why did mpg info read 8.1mpg ?
Great video man!! 🤙🏼
It’s my understanding that the regular grand Cherokee will move to that architecture for 2022. So lighter but better ride.
I like the old one better on the outside
You can’t get the V8 on anything less than the Overland trim, that’s awful. That means you have to spend over $60,000 to get a V-8 engine on a vehicle that should have it standard because of the size. Smh
Yea I think it should have been standard on premium trims and at least optional on the Limited…
@@JB_WhoWork optional on all trims lol it’s a heavy 3 row suv.
V8 option at all trims would be nice… but engine trim is in line with its direct competitors: Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Palisade/Kia Telluride, Acura MDX, Mazda CX-9… all over 3.x L v6’s. and honestly…the v6 is more than enough for the vehicles.
@@rauland that’s true but the comp doesn’t offer a V8 except the Durango. Yes the Durango will compete with this even if they’re both Stellantis products. The GC L is heavier then all its competitors too. I guess I’m more hung up on the what you get for the price you pay with jeep. I can see maybe the Altitude and Limited offering a V-8 that would make sense too.
@@ImYoutubing247 all the more reason it’s going to be a premium upgrade. If you want an suv with a v8, you have to jump up to a full size suv - Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, Sequoia etc. And the GC, while being heavy for its size, is one of the smaller mid-sized Crossover/SUV’s on the market. My 2010 Traverse is larger in every way, and it’s V6 is more than ample enough to haul 4 adults and 3 60+lbs dogs plus luggage. The market has dictated that V6’s are fine for that particular vehicle, and the fact the GC offers a V8 is just a bonus. And if you want the bonus you’ll have to pay for it.
Sure is nice but how much is this?
$70k?
Not worth it. especially jeep,dodge,chrysler dealers does not deserve this kind of price tag cars.
At least where I am in NYC area, dealer sales reps are the worst out of all.
Cant wait to test drive this thing. Does anyone know what the 0-60 and 1/4 times are for 5.7 hemi variant?
1:56 they look like reflectors, but they are projector headlamps
They’re giving people the option of having a second and third row, it’s the only vehicle in its class without a third row i person like the fact that they didn’t make the L the normal GC because all the vehicles in this class have standard third row seats and I love my two row. The only things that weird to me is why offer the L when there’s the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer?
The Grand Cherokee L competes with the Acura MDX, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, and Lincoln Aviator. The Grand Wagoneer is supposed to be more in line with premium SUV’s like the Escalade but the Wagoneer is going to compete with Expedition/Tahoe 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork the grand Cherokee L is also longer than its competitors by a good amount, I see what they’re doing I just hope that it’s not to late and they end up only selling the L or the Wagoneer for a year or two because sales number aren’t that high. I hope that’s not the case.
Off roading capabilities
The buttons sound a bit cheap and and the rest of the overall materials sound squeaky but I do like the style
I went to look at a new truck today and seen an overland and the tan interior is crazy nice
Yup, wait until the Summit Reserve I’m planning on doing this week 🔥🔥🔥
They don’t make the new L with a tan interior. Unless your not from the states.
It's nice but for $70,000 I'd have to take a 2nd mortgage out 😟
I didn't pay 70k for mine.. but closer to 62k. However, you'd be hard pressed to find anything else of quality with these options for this price.
Nice video. I actually think the 2 row GC is what most consumers are waiting for. Someone who actually wants a 6-7 passenger SUV will opt for a larger SUV like the Grand Wagoneer, Tahoe, etc. I love the way this looks, but the third row is made mainly for kids. I have the current gen 2 row and I love it. I am looking forward to seeing the next gen 2 row. I am very confident that the 2 row variant will outsell the L by a land slide.
Thanks Kevin!
The Wagoneer and Tahoe are MUCH bigger vehicles. The three row GC is necessary to compete with smaller suvs like Telluride and Toyota Highlander. Hopefully the two-row GC survives as a more rugged, sporty suv.
@@gpcirillo You are not wrong, but as nice as the L is the sticker price (minus the base models) will deter many consumers from this vehicle. Since the third row on these mid sized SUVS are pretty much useless unless you have small children most will opt to buy the 2 row variant or go for another brand. If I was going to spend 50-60k on a 3 row vehicle I would buy a Tahoe, Expedition, etc. Again, this is a good looking vehicle, but it will be undersold compared to the 2 row variant.
@@kevinp4305 Jeep base models compete with Toyota and Honda. The upscale models like the Overland compete with Lexus and Acura. Jeep has to cover a range of demographics under one brand.
I’ve already seen plenty of these GC-Ls driving around (and they have just barely come out), so I’m thinking sales would indicate otherwise.
This is a new cool innovation from jeep finally. If they could only implement their new tech into their other mopar vehicles - especially the performance based ones and especially the 300
I agree, they really need to give the cars some attention especially the 300. They could do something cool/unique with the 300 to put it back on top how it was in the 2000’s 👍🏾
How does the Telluride stack up to this?
Can u get a regular version of the Overland Cherokee❓
Cadillac was the first to do night vision on the old Deville in 2000
True. They made terrible cars with cool features.
I'll wait for the 2 row. I dont need a 3rd row that nobody can fit in
I’m 5’11” I test drove one and sat in the 3rd row, very comfortable for adults compared to other 3 row suv.
Great video!
I have yet to see a 7 passenger gc l. I'm interested in bench seats for 2 and 3rd rows
I can’t find one either…
Great video 👍
I've owned and leased 8 Jeep Grand Cherokee's over the years. All high-end finishes/trims, Summits etc. I just canceled my order for my Grand Cherokee L Reserve . You have to see this vehicle in person, it is ridiculously long. If you work in a Metropolitan area and use parking garages this vehicle would be a nightmare. Plus the fact that I sincerely felt it doesn't fit the mid-size SUV feel anymore. Had Jeep released the second row side by side with this third row I guarantee the second row would easily outsell this glorified Durango .
@Anthony lervolino that’s why I titled this video, “Bad for Jeep owners” because the L could drive Jeep to discontinue the 5 row… I’m hoping that’s not the case as well, thanks for sharing 👍🏾.
@@JB_WhoWork My comment was of no reflection to your video. It was just my thoughts as I walked the vehicle. I appreciate your content and your channel .
@@JB_WhoWork 2 row has already been announced as a 2022 model
After driving trucks for year and parking in tight areas through out I find this easy to park and drive
@@ChrisH421 My Jeep salesman has zero knowledge of a 2 row Reserve L new Grand Cherokee available for order. Please post a link
This gen. 2021 looks better in black... the older models look good in white
can’t wait for the front end redo
2 years and I'm still not excited about the way it looks.
Just the night vision sold me am buy in 1 for the night vision
I test drove it. I Hate it. Looks like a GM product inside and out. Its not a jeep anymore. I own a 2018 grand cherokee. No way I'd trade mine for this disappointment.
Facts I have grand cherokee 2017 .. the front is ugly stirring wheel is small
I wish you folded down the rear seats & showed cargo space. Otherwise great video!
I actually forgot to but I did it in the next video
Nice looking SUV.
I love the looks
👀
Overland is nice but you gotta try the massage seats in the Summit
This Overland has massaging seats
@@JB_WhoWork Oops! I missed that part
Those doors sound horrible when you open and close them. Wish the front wipers were hidden under hood. Notice you don’t have front wiper instructions like most cars..don’t see auto rain sensing wipers. Does it have auto brake hold? I’m told rear seats don’t have much support.
i have summit reserve and it does have rain sensing wipers
9:00 min. mark, oh yes, it's still expensive you may get decent options but these are high priced, not for your average working class stiff.
Sadly it's a beautiful truck but reliability is the issue
I have a 2014 and she's going strong 💪
@@rasheedwhite4647 yes I have a ram and it is strong just wear and tear but reliability is still conxer
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
It`s a crazy nice car but the engines are a big let down (maybe even a deal breaker). For that money I expect a more modern drive train. I would save the money for the massaging seat group and the extended tech package and get the 5.7 for the same price.And why the 10.1 screen in the Overland is more expensive than it is in the Limited is way beyond me.
Yea I’m not too happy with the 3.6L being standard in the higher trims and I think Jeep should position a TT V6 in the mix as well. The 10.1 shows standard online but the window sticker shows 8.4 standard… they also show projector headlights on their and that’s incorrect lol 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork On the configurator it shows the 10.1 costs 1700 on the Overland and 900 on the limited, lol.
Gotcha, they do the same thing on the Hellcats lol
Dont know why people fret over that 5.7 hemi motor. There is little info on performance of 3.6l vs 5.7l motor, but from what i found smaller motor gets you high 6 sec 0-60 and optional v8 drops that only by 0.5 sec. 6.5 sec is too slow for a v8. Price wise you are in a bmwx5 and audi q7 territory with this thing and germans deliver 5.2-5.5 sec times even with inline 6. Jeep needs to put in a modern drivetrain and stop peddling ancient motors at this price point
The fit and finish needs to be dialed in. The doors don’t lineup with the fender and rear quarters. The gas cap cover doesn’t exactly match the rest of the vehicle paint. The money that there charging it should be near perfect.
I hope it's reliable. Jeep always has issues with new redesigns for few years history has taught me
You name all except the summit and the summit reserve
Bro you've gotta gently push the push button start.
I am, my mic is pointed away from me so everything is amplified
0:52 smh fool me once 😂😭
2,250
nice vid
Thanks 👍🏾
Omg I hope that the SRT doesn’t look like shit!!!! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Love it, love it, love it!!!
In this year the 100th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party #CCP, thrilled to tell everyone that Jeep is now partly owned by Dongfeng of China #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 🇨🇳
$60k for a jeep… jesus lord
Wait until the Wagoneer comes out…
Thanks to crypto currency I just bought one.
