Love it! I recently became a Jeep (WJ) owner so I am a fan, especially with the changes they seem to be making, so would definitely look to get this in a couple of years
I have over 15 TH-cam videos to choose from on the release of the new jeep suv. The only one I need to watch is the raiti’s ride review. Keep up the amazing and exciting work. Cheers.
The best feature imo is cruise control. It pretty much drives on its own. We just got one for my mom from Dallas and I drove it back to Kentucky entirely on cruise control. I did not control anything the entire time except for when we needed to take gas stops. Oh also the V6 has amazing gas mileage for a suv that size
Amazing vehicle!!! Jeep Grand Cherokee L is unique. Only vehicle to offer a V8 option and great off road capabilities. Thanks for bringing us this review. Well done!!! Glad to see you are able to bring reviews from press events. Proud of guys!!!
I was a little mad because of the new thinner headlights but now that I see it on a review it doesn't bother me anymore. I think this is a fenomenal SUV and the price is not that bad. I mean yes it is almost 60k but you get a lot of bang for your money. Great review Joe!! Thank you Lori!!
Joe & Lori, congrats on making the press event for Jeep and everybody else recently! I took your advice on the 2020 Honda Accord 2.0 MT6 and LOVE IT, definitely following the Jeep L closely also!
The Grand Cherokee's interior has always been competitive. I'd put my 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland's interior up against literally any 2014 Mercedes, Audi, or BMW in material and overall build quality.
I like how the infotainment system looks built in instead of sticking up above the dash however it seems a little too low. I would have to sit in it to be sure, but it seems you would have to look down to see it.
yes there's no worst styling cue than sticking a big stupid tablet in the center of the dash. and in the explorer the huge tablet becomes a three and a half by three and a half inch backup camera display that you have to squint to see. not to mention a glitchy infotainment system that's plagued all ford cars
I love the Jeep, but I love you too 😉. Anyhoo, I was randomly given an overland trim grand Cherokee at a rental counter several years ago and was able to keep it for an entire week. I was totally impressed with the ride and materials quality. It had the air ride suspension. I love a more squared off body style and the ride height that was offered. Previously I had mostly driven luxury vehicles such as lexus and infiniti. With that being said this generation looks even more impressive inside and out. I just don't know if I can afford the trim I like.

GM, and Ford will have to step up their game to compete with this thing. The interior alone is way ahead of the competition. Jeep is not cutting corners on the Cherokee L. That U connect is sweet. GM, and Ford can't compare.
Mopar interior are always next level on their higher models just look at the truck segment it took GM and ford 5 years to even come close to catching up
@@frostgodx finally someone who realizes the truth. the ram 1500 2 years in a row number one in reliability tied with tundra. and the interior that Ford and Chevy couldn't touch.. and the fact of the trucks are still discounted to this day makes it an easy choice
I understand that you don't like the look of the lower mounted rear wiper; but have you ever taken a good look at how well the top mounted versions work? Not very well. Without the wiper mounted at the bottom to "catch" the spray, they don't clean well. The washer fluid runs off before it can be spread across the glass. There's a reason Toyota went back to a lower mount on the Sienna after trying it up top for a few years.
I think 58k for the v8 sounds pretty good. This two tone black and white exterior is just beautiful and i would right away get the 21' wheels. That's it, it would be the perfect SUV..
Why replace what was never broken? I always thought that the corporate standard windows switches they used pretty much across the board at RAM/Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler from 2010-2020 were top-notch, easy to use, no-frills but felt great, and super reliable/durable.
I loved this SUV from Jeep. Is it worth buying Jeep for city drive only (no off-roading or towing )? I am looking for a 3 row SUV with 7/8 seater combination (2 + 3 + 2/3). Is overland model overpriced?
For 58k, they could of wrapped the sides of the center console with leather or something.. beautiful vehicle but attention to detail matters too sometimes
Joe, did you notice that the top door indent doesn’t line up exactly with the front panel indent, they’re uneven. (Pause at 4:01) maybe even the front door indent with the back door indent no being lined up either. That would bug me if I am spending this type of money on a vehicle.
Went by and saw this at the Jeep Dealership today. As an owner of a 2015 JGC Summit I don't like 1. the front end styling and 2. the length. To me it went from mid-size SUV to almost Tahoe length. Fit and finish in the car are fantastic. I liked the Overland and Summit versions, but even the Limited was fairly nice. Just didn't do it for me yet. Maybe it will all grow on me.
Lol he is better than all the other channels too! Not just that long list of TFL’s lmao - I’m sure he appreciates you! Joe & Lori are the best team in all of Auto Review world.

This kills the wagoneer in styling, I don't see that truck selling well when you can get almost the same amount of Luxury out of this for almost half the price. with a not-so-minivan look. Great review I always enjoy them
Been going back and forth between the Aviator and Telluride... trying to decide for months now... this throws another wrench in the decision making. What do you think?
Hello Joe. Good review and test drive video of this new generation 5th Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Also, good videography from your wife Laurie. Nice off roading courses which wasn't an issue with this Jeep. Usually a 3rd row seating SUV would do an OK job off roading, but this Jeep Grand Cherokee L did a very good job on the off road courses I've seen in this video and other You Tube channel videos. Based on pictures along with videos I've seen, the interior from the Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve looks great. The interiors from those three trim levels will give the interiors from the Cadillac XT6, Lincoln Aviator, Acura MDX, Mercedes GLE, BMW X5, Lexus RX 350L and Infiniti QX60 a run for their money. OBTW, the Explorer isn't a match with the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L will literally strip the pants off the Explorer in terms of performance, off road capability, overall exterior design schematics, interior features and interior comfyness. This year 2021 will belong to Jeep. Two new Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles will get released which will be the third row seating Jeep Grand Cherokee L to get released soon and the Jeep Grand Cherokee with the usual two rows of seats later in the year. Also, two Wagoneer full size SUVs will get released as well this year. The Jeep Wagoneer will compete with the regular full size SUVs while the Jeep Grand Wagoneer will compete with the luxury full size SUVs. Should be GRRREAT!! 👍👍
Hi Jeffrey! I am so glad that you really liked this Grand Cherokee L Jeep did one heck of a job with it. Thanks for showing Lori some love! She works really hard.
@@RaitisRides You're welcome Joe. Anytime. Based on info I read from couple sources one of many new features for the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a hands free foot activated lift gate. It's available on the Overland trim and higher trims. Might be optional on the Limited trim, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe in your next Jeep Grand Cherokee L video you can demonstrate the hands free function for the lift gate. In a Jeep Grand Cherokee L tutorial video I saw recently they said while the key fob is on you do a kicking motion under the bumper to activate the hands free opening of the lift gate and not a side to side motion like what's found on few of the competitors.
Owned two different grand Cherokee over lands loaded with 4x4 and unfortunately they were lemons. Disappointed in the V8 sound of the new Cherokee L. Needs some performance pipes to give it a growl. But 30" of visual pleasure lol love the way Joe makes ya laugh with the vehicle reviews!!!!!!
The new Grand Cherokee blows its competitors out of the water. It’s a true off-road vehicle, rear wheel drive bias, V8 option, and top trims compete closely with the European offerings. Jeep did a great job with the redesign but it’s still a Chrysler product so I’m still hesitant about their reliability.

I get a kick out of "Raiti's Rages" when gets on those prop rods. I guess he hasn't had those pistons on those supports go bad and watch that hood drop ever so slowly, till it finally doesn't hold up the hood at all.
You should also tell your viewers that Stellantis dismantled the "SRT division" they moved the engineers to other parts of the company, future SRT models seem unlikely as the move to electrify

He got me with the "Your Telluride don't have that" 🤣🤣
Jeep went all out with this one - looking great 🏁 👌
I am so glad that you like this one.
Man my friend just picked up his new 2021 keep grand Cherokee in black and I was test driving it and oh man is it fun!
That is so awesome Jack!
2021 JGC IS AN AWESOME VEHICLE ! finally the interior matches the performance.
This is true!

Me likey..Sweetest Jeep ever. Slam in Borla exhaust and u r good to go..
Ehhhh I could take it or leave it. The previous design was a real winner.
@@Charles-mp2vl yeah this one looks too big… visually. Gives me Expedition vibes
@@cashkenterprises5584 Just wait for the 2-row version, she's a beaut.
This Jeep evolved soo well it’s now a real luxurious car inside I hope there’s also a trackhawk version coming
Fingers crossed!
Won't need the third row - but I'll look forward to the shorter version.
I really wanted a 360 degree video view so I could look around while that offroad test was going on. That would be amazing!
Great job Lori! Keep up the great reviews both of you!

It definitely a better suv than the Ford Explorer
I agree with you!
FCA make very beautiful and very unreliable cars.
@Ahki Khari That's a terrible financial decision
This will sell like hot cakes (I mean Twinkies) 🌚
You nailed it!
Such a better vehicle over all categories: looks, off road ability, accessories and comfort!
I think you may be right about that.
Would love to see a review of the Summit Reserve once you can get your hands on one! 🙌🏼
Love to see the 5.7 liter. The styling needs to grow on me a bit.
Wait until you see it in person.
Agreed. I wish I can take this interior and put it in the Telluride or the Pathfinder
I would agree with see it in person. Pictures I thought wtf is this but then in person it looks damn good
It only has 18" wheels because it has the Off Road package (trail rated badge).
This is a dandy of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I am glad you brought this dandy Jeep to review!
Amazing job Joe. I love it
I am so glad that you like this one.
@@RaitisRides You always know I do :)

I’m thinking about trading my Jl Rubicon for a GC L,looks awesome,I’ve been off roading for ever,maybe it’s time for a change again!
9:06 this is the best feature of the car IMO
I am so glad that you are liking this Gran Cherokee L.
Hey! They finally replaced the window switches from 2009! Nice.
Yes sir!

I am so glad that you like this one.
I don’t know if it’s that fast because he didn’t start laughing 😂😂😂
well damn its a Jeep not a GT3. But yea i noticed that too. Not a big deal thats not where this thing plays.
I've would say the same as the 4th gen at 6.5 to 60 with the hemi, where this engine shines is at highway speeds.
I love my Jeep Grand Cherokee!! It has all the luxury I would want along with the power. Not that I push it 😎 but it's really cool
Love the on throttle - cause I want that to put a smile on my face if I’m buying
say what you want about fuel economy but there's something about pushing the pedal down on a V8 engine that never gets old
Not bad A 3 row mid-size SUV with a n/a V8 Good review
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Dang. Competition is looking really good for the consumer
So true!

For 58k, they could of wrapped the sides of the center console with leather or something.. beautiful vehicle but attention to detail matters too sometimes
obviously you've never been in a Ford explorer in the sea of black plastic
Less than 60k for all of that tech, capability, and V8 on top of that. Jeep really pushing the bar in the segment.
You know it man!
In my area those Overlands are going to run you $70k after taxes.

Jeep has come for the Explorer with the GC the same way Ford has come for the Wrangler with the Bronco. May have to trade my ‘20 Traverse with this.

There is no V8 option on Jeep website for Overland. In fact, you have to go Summit Reserve to get V8 option. Preproduction model?

You can also compare the Jeep Grand Cherokee L to the Dodge Journey which is also a 3-row mid-size SUV.
I believe the Journey is dead.
