Is the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L a BETTER luxury midsize SUV than a Lexus TX 350?

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a solid choice! It's got that rugged vibe but still feels pretty luxurious inside. Plus, it's great for off-roading if you're into that kind of adventure!

[@JMKDragon]

I got the 2023 Grand Cherokee L summit reserve with the hemi. Beautiful vehicle. I absolutely love my jeep.

I've been wanting one of these for a few years....the L model....but they "were" priced out of my league until I found a 2023 with 18K miles on it (I now have 30K). I love the thing as it is exactly what I wanted. The only issue is the "quirky" radio, nav, phone thing quite often requires some sort of reset from time to time....annoying but workable.

Something going on that I want to find out, what's a new Jeep doing on a Jaguar LR Dealer? Jeeps aren't the best, but come on, trading it in for a Land Rover is a bit stupid. Glad you got to show it to us, though, Joe. Keep up the great work! 👍

Vents hurt fuel economy which is why you see it and you don't need to vent a regular vehicle that much. There's no reason to vent brakes or provide extra venting to the motor. It certainly looks better than just it being all white plastic there.

The Grand Cherokee is the one vehicle I would consider paying that much for a vehicle that wasn’t fast, but I’m not even sure a spec I’m interested in is available

[@jdub976]

Finally naturally aspirated. No turbo. I would check this out if I was looking but Jeeps prices have just moved to high for me. Times are strange...A Jeep is to expensive now what a world.

[@ceek2329]

In laws have one of these in a limited trim and I will say they are very comfortable to drive and having the NA V6 is a plus. 3rd row is for kids for sure but its there if you need to haul adults for short drives. One dislike is the infotainment system. The apple carplay/ android auto can act up every once in a while. Something else to be aware of, the transmission definitely feels bad at times. In laws have a 21' model so not sure if things have gotten better since then with the inf system and trans. The gloss black on the interior drives me insane as well. Too many fingerprints and scuffs all over it.

[@briank1665]

My GC Overland 4xe was beautiful and full of amazing features. Unfortunately, it was a lemon and now I'm in an X5 50e and that, I must say, is true luxury. It's a shame though, the new style of the GC is awesome, just not reliable, for me, at least. But, put the 6.4 in that bad boy, and I'd be back in a heartbeat.

[@Darkvirgo88xx]

I'm curious as to why they always put these lower output versions of engines in these heavier Suv's ? The 3.6 with the different air intake design is rated at 305hp. That being said don't let it persuade you to give it a chance. The 3.6 Pentastar is no slouch. It does fine in our 2023 Durango pursuits and that's with all that heavy police equipment we have. Ours got the same horsepower rated 3.6 since only Ford actually still modifies performance in their police variants.

[@1lovesgreatness]

The electronic auto tranny shifter should never be in the center between the two front seats. It could be shorted out by a spilled drink and takes up space in the middle where a cubby could be to keep your purse or satchel. Mechanical shifters had to be in the middle. GM got it right by putting the shifter back on the steering column.

[@tunnelvisionxxl]

Like Michael Jordan in his prime, if you see sweat in the first few minutes Joe Raiti is going to deliver. Good review as usual, even for a car that is not on my radar. Lexus Hybrid offerings are more desirable at that price point.
