Jeep has finally introduced a three-row version of its popular Grand Cherokee SUV.
Jeep’s Grand Cherokee has been a top-selling SUV since its debut in 1993, but its pool of potential customers has always been limited by its two-row, five-seat configuration. Jeep is addressing that issue for 2021 with the launch of an all-new Grand Cherokee that debuts first in a new three-row, seven-seat form, dubbed the Grand Cherokee L.
Stretching a vehicle’s platform to add another row of seats may not seem like a significant engineering undertaking, but doing so presents challenges for interior packaging and for preserving Jeep’s signature off-road capability.
