- The ALL NEW Grand Cherokee L is here and Jeep has added a 3-row to the equation. On the outside you will find a total redesign of the sheetmetal, grill, wheels, and fascias. On the inside the interior has been brought up to a new level with leather seating, 10in infotainment system, digital dash, and night vision. Under the hood is a 3.6L V6 pumping out 290 HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L V6 a better SUV than a Kia Telluride?

I don't see this being compared to the Telluride or Highlander anymore, Jeep has stepped it up to the Acura/Lexus luxury category. I think Jeep has done a wonderful job with this one. As an everyday driver the 3.6 L should be adequate. Good camera work Lori.
Maybe Acura and Infiniti, still has a little further to go to reach Lexus though fit and finish wise
Unfortunately not. Telluride will have a refresh next year with digital dash and wireless Android apple car play. Telluride offers ambient lighting and second row cooled seats. According to car confections testing, telluride is also quieter inside which what luxury suv buyers care. 67 db on GCL vs 63 decibels on telluride. Kia stepped up the game too far for jeep to keep up at this point. It’s even cheaper and offers unbeatable warranty. It’s hard to beat. This is coming from a GC overland owner who had his suv in the shop for leaking air suspension, rattles, and bulging dash board issues. I also didn’t like the noise of the V6 pentastar engine. It was very noisy.
@@al151 don’t get me wrong, the Telluride is a top notch SUV and I have driving one. Best bang for the dollar. 54k all in. The reason why I think the GCL is up the luxury brands is the price point and finishes. The OVERLAND version here in Canada is 70k plus taxes. They are aiming high and might actually meet their mark. Very sorry to hear about the air leak with the suspension, it’s not the first time I’ve heard that. If Kia are doing a refresh that would be a good thing for buyers.
@Jeffrey J thanks for the input, I took a telluride of a test drive last year and was quite impressed. I haven’t sat in the new GCL yet but from the exterior and pictures it looks amazing. I’m glad you told me about this as I’m on the market for a new SUV this summer so I may take the GCL off my list. Right now I’m leaving towards the Acura MDX. I’ve heard that Tellurides are hard to get at the moment due to demand.
Chrysler made product at the end of the day...Worst reliability and crash test ratings in the industry.. Telluride crashes like a tank and KIA brand is second or third most reliable behind Mazda and Toyota if hasn't taken the no.2 spot... Chrysler is dead last in reliability and crash test ratings... Kia uses high strength steel from their own factory... BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz uses high strength quality steel also and materials.. This nice looking cheap death trap ahaha will fold like a tin can in an accident... Don't get fooled by the design and initial looks, dig deeper..
The new Grand Cherokee L is a handsome car and thoughtfully designed. The Jeep group stays on top of its game. As usual, Joe Raiti’s detailed and carefully researched descriptions are simply top-notch and the best in the business. I get more information from his reviews than from any other source.
Jeep is swinging for the fences with this one here!!! Thanks for bringing us this beast, Joe and Lori!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #Jeep #GrandCherokee_L
I really like everything about the new Grand Cherokee L, except for the price. The interior is a huge improvement. It also looks WAY better than the Grand Wagoneer imo. Great job Jeep.
I feel like jeep is really outdoing themselves I saw one if these on the road a few weeks back I love it
I had a Kia Telluride 2020 was going to upgrade to 2022 Telluride nightfall edition but when I saw KIA charging over 6,000 to 10,000 over list price I decided to look at the Jeep Grand Cherokee L I’m glad I did. It is amazing I loved it so much that I traded in my Telluride and got the Overland which is featured in this video.

I purchased a GCL summit reserve after having looked at several vehicles, including Audis and Jags. The Jeep is nicer than most luxury vehicles. The infrared is an awesome safety feature and the McIntosh sound system is beyond amazing!🙌🏻
Chrysler made product at the end of the day...Worst reliability and crash test ratings in the industry.. Telluride crashes like a tank and uses high strength steel like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus etc while Chrysler uses cheaper materials and has some worst test crash ratings lol The most important component of luxury vehicles is protecting their passengers in a crash from fatality (family, kids etc)... The Grand Cherokee fails big time... Hey but it looks good..
11:51 that's 5 times faster than Uconnect 4? Still looks painfully slow.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. That was a solid 3 second lag.
I peeped that, too!!😕😕
Probably because of the camera
@@natemartinez2745 I see your point, but I don't think it really works here. With all due respect.
I'm sold on that jeep. Great video
Great review - bought a Summit Reserve a few weeks ago. It's the best Jeep I've ever owned and I've had five of them... well done Jeep!
That is so very awesome! Congrats!
Outstanding review and crazy sense of humor:)
Thanks David for letting me bring you the cars and the laughs.
This is a great looking vehicle, inside and out. It sets a new bar in the segment and I'm predicting that Jeep will sell a ton of these. Thanks Joe and Laurie! Great review and I appreciate you taking the time to show us the night vision. It's so cool.
Dude Joe you kill me with the use cases for the cargo/storage areas 🤣🤣💪🏻
"Hanky Panky", "Keep Your Hands to Yourself"...Third row seat shout to hit songs...Well done.
Well-appointed SUV. Love the colour! Wouldn't mind one. Thanks,Joe. Thanks for all your video work, alright!
The Kia Telluride by a mile. Feels more premium on the inside. Its really only missing only 4 things to make it a flawless vehicle: 1. Hidden rear windshield wipper, 2. Wider rear seat armchairs, 3. Panoramic sunroof and 4. Dual exhaust.
And...memory seats for EX trim.
I think Jeep did a great job with this one. Very roomy. I’d definitely go 5.7L in this one.
Thanks for sharing it Joe. Great job you and Lori! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice Joe…..thanks. Looking forward to the shorter version
Same here. Third row not as critical to us empty nesters. But I like the ungrades on this new design. Wonder if they'll throw a diesel in there like GM did with the Tahoe/Yukon.
You should review them now, without the air suspension that Jeep is apparently leaving off them because of lack of parts, it's even on the window stickers as a credit.
Was on the fence about this one but I holds a bottle of Yoo-hoo in the door. I’m sold!
I like the way that you think!
Joe!!....your reviews are the best in business....your videos are becoming part of my daily routine...wake up, get a cup of coffee...watch raiti's rides...start your day🙂.....keep it up 💪🏼💪🏼❤
I would like to see you review the Limited trim.
Thats closer to my budget.
I just feel like for the Limited price, its kind of disappointing to not have ventilated seats, wireless charging, ect.
I will get that one together for you Dale.
You get the tech package and you have all that for around 1500-2000 extra !
We have the tech package on ours and it has all of that!
That McIntosh speaker in the top corner of the dash looks like someone left a Skoal can up there.
Okay. You follow Outlaw, the channel?

Just picked up the white Altitude version! Traded our 2018 Honda Accord and absolutely love it! Power is adequate and ride is comfortable!
That fake vent under the liftgate could be used in a pinch if you needed a replacement for the dashboard of your 2022 Civic.
So glad Jeep is putting grand in the Grand
Joe love the videos. One thing tho you never give a clear view on your opinion of the overall car verse competition. On throttle yes- but let’s get a real compare review. Should I buy a jeep or a Kia?
One word wow 🥵
I am so glad that you are liking this Jeep.
WOW is right. Also WELL DONE! Jeep wasn't in a rush going into frantic mode to create a third row seating mid-size SUV like the competitors. Jeep took their time to include third row seating and they delivered with the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. This vehicle will do well in overall sales.
I would like to say, Jeep GCL has rwd based awd. It is by far just better than fwd awd. On top of that, the awd is more advanced than the teletubbie, traverse, etc...Hemi, amazing.
$63,000 for a Jeep GC. Don’t care if it’s 3 rows. You can put all the glitchy tech in there you want but prices are getting silly for vehicles. Great video as always, but I can’t get with the price.
@@arrogen2831 if telleride go 60k, then I rather buy this GC then
@@kromahj the dealer markups are insane. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy any new cars from dealerships or used cars for that matter to. I would wait it out until this is over
@@mattmekhaeil true
Find a respectable dealer that sells at MSRP. There are many out there.
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true talk 💯and funny 😄good job 👏👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
5 year 2017 Durango Owner. Just order one of these on Bright white.. I was so close to picking up a new Durango and then I see these on the Lot and the Interior and Pano sunroof, air suspension, the 10” screens galore, Nappa Leather, 4x4 , McIntosh Sound system, this Jeep is comparable to the Escalade and Range Rover as far as tech and interior and luxury goes .. Kia and Toyota are childs play when it comes to Jeep! L
Wow, Jeep really stepped up their game! Very nice looking SUV!
I am impressed with the technology especially the night vision and McIntosh sound system
The infotainment looks similar to Maserati ones. Interior is just spot on. Exterior could do better but what an understated car
I got a 22 2 row overland. i agree. i dont like the fake vents. the flat black grill should be gloss black. other then that i think thay did a great job on the Grand Cherokee
If youre going to spend nearly $65k on this behemoth, do yourself a favor and just get the hemi. It’s well worth the $3000 for the extra performance. That engine alone makes the GC-L a worthy competitor to the Bmw x7 x40i, Mercedes GLS450, and Lincoln aviator.
The 3.6 is fine for the basic trim levels under $50k.
Liking Telluride better. Still waiting on that GV70 2.5t review. There has been one at Crown so hoping it will be posted soon. Thanks both of you for amazing work! 👏
Can you stand the STRANGE looks?
You can get one of these in the Altitude package, few less bells and whistles but plenty of options, looks very sharp and is closer to $43,000
Great video. Caught my attention because we actually traded my wife’s Telluride for the Grand Cherokee L. The Jeep feels way more premium and the infotainment system is light years better than the Kia. Don’t get me wrong, Kia was a good vehicle but the Jeep is definitely a step up.
Did you purchase the v6 or v8? I’m having a hard time deciding which one to go with considering how much it will take to fill it up and keep it filled for daily driving.
Great review!!! Love the details! I’m anxiously awaiting for the 2022 Grand Cherokee Two-Row review!!
Looks perfect for long road trips
The 360 camera is very helpful
Really considering one of these. Hate that the mirrors are always black though. Jeep did a great job. You are getting more then the Telluride and they aren’t charging over msrp on these yet.
I would like to see the rear entertainment system
Love the blue interior lights sweet. Now this sell me. You should do more night drive and walk around for the interior and exterior lights.
I am hoping you can change the color because I wasn’t a fan of the blue. A nice warm white would be more up my alley but very glad you like it!
I just fell in love with this car
Great review! I was waiting for the on throttle action!
One thing noticed was the technology included. But at $63,000 it's still a Jeep and having test driven the Explorer ST with it's 400 HP Ecoboost and a price tag of $59,000. It's obvious there's other options in this class other than the Telluride. I'm also looking at a Lincoln Aviator which I think blows the Grand Cherokee out of the water regarding exterior styling. The Aviator certainly doesn't cut corners on it's interior which you would expect for $73,000. Hats off to Jeep and it's new interior. Unfortunately the exterior design isn't as exciting. Thanks for the review. Now I'm wondering how the Jeep rides and drives. I also believe in real world use. It will be hard hitting especially the city est. EPA numbers. The wagoneer is to large and heavy for the ancient Pentastar V6. Thanks for the thorough and informative review.
My little brother just traded his 3 month old Telluride for the Grand Cherokee L and he tells me that there's no comparison... He is happier with the Jeep! The active rear view mirror is new to Jeep but not new to the market, GM has had that available for most SUV's and trucks for quite a while now.

@@Itzascript
Yea rolling death trap with cheap materials and the worst reliability looks good... The Telluride and Palisades or Kia vehicles in general the new models are made with high strength steel from their own factories similar to what BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Land Rover, Genesis etc uses to protect their passengers from fatality and crashes... That is why the Telluride and luxury brands in general have the top safety ratings and crashes like a tank.. While this cheap Chyrsler made product folds like a tin can in a collision and has worst of worst crash test ratings and reliability ahahahaha... Nice rolling death trap ahahaha Look Crash test on you tube and ratings ahahaha this would split in half in a head collision or side collision easily...
@@Itzascript Hey buddy all manufacturers have recalls… Toyota has most and death related to recalls what your point???
Chrysler has the most death related to accidents
Your referencing certain models. Toyota has engine fire problems. Crickets ahaha nice try.
Doesn’t hide the facts Chryslers Jeep is worst reliability and worst crash tests ratings comparable to Chinese made vehicles ahahhaha
Kia is doing recalls to take precaution just in case. Other manufactures wait till hundreds of people to die to take actions and models your referencing doesn’t have anything to do with palisades or telluride.. it’s the 2012 - 2014 cheap models
@@Itzascript you must work for Jeep. Did see that roll over video of wrangler new model ?? Go take a look
That would never happen to a Toyota 4 runner or fj cruiser in a crash test what disaster
People dropping 50k to die looking cool
I love the V6 but for the price I think it'll be best to opt for the 5.7.
I went to a KIA dealer in NY today. I looked at the TELLURIDE which had a window sticker price of $50,510.00, the salesman told me straight up that they were selling the car for $10,000 over sticker price!!! Making the car $60,000!!!! and that they are not negotiating prices! Not worth it to me. So I'm going with the GC L Limitted for under $50,000, which to me feels more solid overall .
Simple body lines, Elegant Head and tail lights design 👍, spacious and nice interior for its trim 👍. A worthy V6 chariot for soccer mom my wife said 😁. Well done Jeep, thx and keep em coming Joe.
Joe great review 👍🏼 Sweet ride. Saving my pennies
I'm a brand new sales consultant. I greatly appreciate your videos, thank you.
Congrats on your new position Frank. I am so glad that I can help you out.
i’d venture to say that this competes with something along the lines of Buick, Cadillac, Lexus, or Volvo.. Kia is not on the same level as this in my opinion. This Jeep just screams American quality and precision
Great review Joe! Looking forward to a hands on review of the new Wagoneer as well.
Very nice, Jeep did a great job! Still interested in the 2 row version though
Joe I love your videos. You always get me in a good mood with your corny jokes haha keep up the great work and hopefully you can review the new KIA EV6 when it becomes available.
Inside is so cool
Joe that Jeep Grand Cherokee is very nice. I love the longer wheel base !!
You nailed the use case for the plastic seat backs. GD pikachu!! 🤣👍🏻
This car is sort of like a less fancier but still awesome keep wagoneer
Joe, looked for the offroad video you promised and could not find it.
How are you Joe? MOPAR LET'S GO!!!
@@RaitisRides ;D
Great review thanks joe
keep the sticks in the transmissions!!!
I liked you already bro but the Yoo-hoo and churro comment warranted you a subscription thank you for an awesome video 😂
I can’t get over that fact that still in 2022(!!!!) Jeep doesn’t give you standard LED DRLs unless you get the $60k trim. A $25k honda comes stands like…
the lag from the LCD tachometer 24:14. Feels like nearly a second from the actual RPMs.
nice review Joe!
Way too much money for a Jeep. For 63K there are much better options. Thanks for the review.
Yeah, no matter what, it's still a grand cherokee. Its nicer yes but same with the Corolla, no matter how much you dress it up as, its still thought of as an appliance
Like?
You can get a BMW X5 or Genesis GV80 for 63 grand.
@@al151 GV80 yes its a good choice X5 nope
@@kobbycrentsil2859 expedition Tahoe suburban All at this insane price point for a midsize
I would zonk the rear window wiper. I think it should have tucked up at the top.
Hey I think the lift gate on the overland is hands free. Am I right in thinking that?
This is the Telluride are on two different levels Aesthetically both inside and out.
I think I just found my first ride i want
Starts looking like a mini van when seen from behind the car.
We will see what the shorter version will look like soon!
We are waiting for the hybrids to come out! VERY interested in the future of these engines!!!
Get a highlander if you want one. The only car in this class that has one
Would totally consider this if it didn’t have all that piano black plastic and wasn’t so overpriced
The only thing this raised mini van will be attacking is the speed bumps at the mall parking lot.
I see what you did there Billy!
I'd buy one if you could still open the rear hatch window like the 2007.
Hey Joe, always rely on your reviews, looking at the G.C. L with the High Altitude package, will you be doing anymore reviews on the L? With the passenger screen and also I would like to see how easy it is to get in at the lowest setting, I have older shorter parents would like to see how easy it is to get in vs. My X5
I really like the Tupelo/Black interior, but you can only get it with the Summit trim, which is a big zonk from me.
I really like the grey but I can’t find one with grey interior that has the options I want.
Really nice interior and tons of utility without going super size.
What is the best color for this color? 🔥
Which one is better this one or the Ford Explorer ? Which one do you recommend me ?? I’m thinking to get one of these
rotary dial shifter is a no go
Now, that's 10 times better than a telluride!
But jeep has serious bad reliability and im concerned of crash test safety ratings.
10 times better? Telluride fully loaded is 46k which is about 20k less than this Jeep. Telluride also has the best warranty in the industry 5/10 and is very reliable. It also has more interior room, absolutely steller lane keep assist, and probably one of the best looking front designs in the category. Let's be slightly more realistic with these statements.
Joe, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Overland trim literally strips the pants off the Kia Telluride in the SX trim. The choice of having one of two engines, power folding rear seats, interior camera, panoramic roof, better towing capacity and more gives the Jeep Grand Cherokee L the advantage.
Agreed...especially since most dealers have the Telluride marked above Sticker...RWD vs FWD...it also may last longer if you Tow regularly

The jeep has worst crash test ratings and reliability in the industry... The cheap aluminum and third class chinese steel they use is garbage... Its folds like in crashes and will fatalities in accidents..

@@persaud101 In terms of overall reliability, the Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are fine. It's above average for the reliability level. Out of all the SUVs out there, the Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles since the first generation until now generated the most sales. Up until this day I still see a couple first generation (model years 1993 to 1998) Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles still driving on the road, few second generation (model years 1999 to 2004) still driving on the road, some to a lot of third generation (model years 2005 to 2010) still driving. I have a third generation Jeep Grand Cherokee myself. For the outgoing fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee (model years 2011 to 2021), as we all can see there's a lot of them driving on the road. A lot. Due to the fact that the fifth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee L and just released fifth generation two version made improvements in couple areas, reliability levels will move up. As for crashes, that depends on preference and the type of crash. So far I've never seen a Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle get a roll over during a crash. Not saying it won't happen though, but if a roll over happens for a Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicle it'll be towards the rare/seldom side. Sometime next year I'll get the third model year of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. I'll get it in the Overland trim with the V8 engine which will smoke the pants off the Kia Telluride. Speaking about smoke, in recent times some Hyundai and some Kia vehicles have been catching on fire at any given moment. One of the reasons for this is poor assembly from the manufacturer themselves. The video link below will be a little more elaborative about the scenario.
Here it is. Take a look.

I’m looking for a new vehicle but the price of cars are ridiculously high right now :( even semi used cars are selling for the same price as new 🤦🏻♂️
Was not even looking to purchase a new vehicle but someone accidentally crashed into my car a totaled it.
I know what you mean D! I’m just looking
for a good lease on a 3rd row!
I believe it was called the Grand wagoneer the first year to transition
It's about time Jeep made a bigger and roomier SUV.
It's good they finally included third row seating for their mid-size SUV. Bigger vehicle than before. Now, who ever is cross shopping for a mid-size SUV they can include the Jeep Grand Cherokee L as one of the vehicles on their list. Jeep Grand Cherokee L is 15 inches longer than the outgoing fourth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee. Jeep has two other bigger SUV that'll get released either sometime this month or sometime next month. Those will be the Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Those two vehicles will fill in the empty full size SUV line hole in the lineup. After they get released the Wagoneer will compete with the regular full size SUVs while the Grand Wagoneer will compete with the luxury full size SUVs. This will be a good year for Jeep.
Hard to get excited about the Pentastar at this point. A bigger SUV deserves more power.
Nah.....it s nice but Kia s warranty is killing the game
Fuel and pocket killer in Canada here fuel is $1.80 cents /L
OMG!!! Please do more night driving please!!!
I'm here for the food references 😅😅😅
Telluride fully loaded is roughly 20k cheaper at 46k. It has more interior room, a usable and comfortable 3rd row, and one of the best standard warranty in the industry: 5 year bumper to bumper 10 year Power train. Its also very reliable. There's a reason why it outsells every other SUV in its category. Price vs value ratio is insane.
B Ha
Wrong! You get more prestige, features & technology with the Grand Cherokee L than the Telluride, hence it's higher price tag. Also, the Kia Telluride is currently in *10th place* for overall sales in the U.S. midsized SUV class (2021) *LOL*
