Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Vs Limited: Which Trim is Right For You?


jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the Patrick Wilson of SUVs.


Like the Virginia native, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has a certain everyman charm. It can adapt to any role it needs to: affordable family SUV, swanky luxo barge, capable off-roader. The Grand Cherokee is as at home at a red carpet event in Santa Monica as it is parked in front of a cottage in Rhode Island.


Of course, it depends on which trim you’re picking. Jeep offers its venerable SUV in a gaggle of flavors, but we’re zeroing in on just two today. Whether its the base-line Laredo or mid-level Limited, which one offers the best blend of affordability, creature comforts, and presence? Let’s find out.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe First Drive Review: The One You Want

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the most awarded sport utility vehicle ever and a big part of the nameplate’s success is the brand’s willingness to adapt to an ever-changing market.

When the modern generation of the Grand Cherokee was introduced, Jeep answered the call for a larger version and the first-ever three-row version was the first to market. Since reaching dealerships, the Grand Cherokee L has proven to be a hot commodity, followed by the rollout of the traditional two-row model. The next big step in the evolution of the Grand Cherokee is the plug-in hybrid 4xe model, which we recently spent a day testing in Texas.

Based on that day of seat time on- and off-road, the Grand Cherokee 4xe is sure to be the next big hit for the Jeep brand, as the addition of electrification only makes for a better SUV.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Land Rover Discovery Comparison

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

Few brands hold reputations for off-road prowess like Jeep and Land Rover.

For decades, these two automakers have built hearty SUVs as at home on a cottage trail as they are in front of a swanky hotel. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Land Rover Discovery both represent something of a sweet spot in their respective family lineups: big enough to haul five adults and their stuff, but not too large as to be unwieldy.

With a new generation of two-row Grand Cherokee upon us for 2022, and the Disco getting its own mild refresh last year, it was high time to pit these two titans against one another. Managing editor Mike Schlee and I spent a week with both to figure out which high-falutin’ high-rider is the one to have.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee First Drive Review: Back On Top

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

Updating an icon is tough. And make no mistake, the Grand Cherokee is Jeep’s modern day icon.

I mean no disrespect to the Wrangler, a vehicle so recognized it has turned “Jeep” into a de facto catch-all for off-roaders, like Coke is to pop, or Kleenex is to tissue.

But the Wrangler didn’t spawn an entire class of vehicles the way the Grand Cherokee has. The original was one of the very first mid-size crossovers, accurately predicting the market’s desire for smoother on-road manners paired with solid off-roading bones. Even as competitors multiply, the previous-generation Grand Cherokee has remained a success, selling over 200,000 units in the US every one of the last five years. It’s been with us for 11 years now though, high time for a ground-up replacement.

Meet the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. A thoughtful update on a successful formula, the promises are far reaching: more refinement, better off-road chops, and more technology, all without compromising on that Goldilocks-like appeal of the brand’s best-seller. Jeep flew us to beautiful Moab to sample (nearly) all of the new lineup and find out for ourselves.

Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs Acura MDX Comparison

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

Three rows of seats, image-focused, and 290-horsepower naturally aspirated V6 engines.

The all-new Acura MDX and the first Jeep Grand Cherokee L are two very different ways of building an entry-luxury SUV, but they are also surprisingly similar in many ways. They also ring in at nearly the same price, depending on how they’re equipped. We’re taking a look at how the two different SUVs compare, and which one is right for you.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Review: Big Red Sleigh Ride

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

Sometimes a press car comes along at exactly the right time.

I kept trying to drive the new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L for the better half of a year. The first three-row model of the brand’s best-seller kept eluding me for one reason or another. I even drove the new-for-2022 two-row before it.

Only then it came up over the holidays. It’s a time where something this substantial could really be put to use, shuttling people and presents all over Southern Ontario. An extended loan of the brand’s biggest unibody SUV proved this was the right addition to the Grand Cherokee family, with a classy, upmarket ride that separates it from the other three-rows out there—with an accompanying price tag to match.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Honda Passport: Which SUV is Right for You?

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

It isn’t getting any easier to differentiate between “crossover” and “SUV.” The Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Honda Passport help blur the lines.

Take the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Honda Passport. These two mid-sized options offer more ruggedness than the average, but they’re both unibody designs.

The Grand Cherokee arguably invented the category, or at least popularized it. Jeep’s best-seller got a two-pronged redo recently, with the three-row Grand Cherokee L for 2021 and the classic two-row model for 2022. It continues to come in myriad flavors, from no-fuss to fancy-pants, along with a variety of drivetrains.

On the other hand, the Honda Passport is relatively straightforward. A shortened sibling to the popular Pilot, the Passport is a strictly two-row affair, with a strong V6 and agreeable driving dynamics.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs GMC Acadia: Which SUV is Right for You?

Want a home-grown mid-sized SUV? You’ve come to the right place. It’s the Jeep Grand Cherokee vs GMC Acadia.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee and GMC Acadia are two modern, comfortable offerings that can easily fit a family and a summer vacation’s worth of cargo.

The Grand Cherokee saw a whole new generation launch recently, with the three-row Grand Cherokee L arriving first, for 2021, and the staple two-row showing up a year later. It covers a broad swath of the market, from sturdy and unimposing lower trims to super-swanky Summit Reserve.

Not to be outdone, the GMC Acadia can come in the brand’s popular Denali trim. This mid-sizer comes in just one length, yet fits three rows of seats like the GCL.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Toyota 4Runner: Which SUV is Right for You?

jeep grand cherokee review specs pricing features videos and more

If you’re looking for an extra dash of off-road ability in your mid-sized SUV, chances are you’re looking at these two.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota 4Runner are both heartier than the typical modern crossover when the road runs out. The Grand Cherokee was one of the first of its kind, blending the better on-road dynamics of a unibody construction with the brand’s reputation for off-roading.

Meanwhile the 4Runner has stayed firmly in SUV territory, a body-on-frame veteran that still appeals to those who want a simpler, truck-like experience.

Which of these two is better suited to your particular set of needs, though? Let’s find out.
