Jeep PH launches 2023 Grand Cherokee L
For the first time, a Grand Cherokee with seven seats is now on sale in the country.
Jeep Philippines has launched the 2023 Grand Cherokee L, the fifth-generation model of their flagship SUV, and the first that can carry a total of six or seven passengers.
Following its global launch back in 2021, the all-new Grand Cherokee L is underpinned by the FCA Giorgio platform – a body architecture shared with Alfa Romeo's Stelvio SUV. The Grand Cherokee L measures 5204mm long, 1979mm wide and 1816mm tall with a 3091mm long wheelbase.
As is expected with Jeep models, the Grand Cherokee L wears the signature seven-slot grille which has been made a lot more slimmer than the outgoing model. The nose is more upright, and the hood has a flatter profile.
Jeep went for a simple horizontal character line on the side profile to give the Grand Cherokee L its upright SUV stance. The wide wheel arches house the Grand Cherokee L's 20-inch wheels. At the rear, there's slim LED taillights with a horizontal bar that runs the entire width of the tailgate.
Inside the Grand Cherokee L, you'll find a typical second row bench layout for the local model. The six seater option was not offered, but either way, the PH spec model still has leather upholstery.
The dashboard has a more conventional layout with digital screens for both the instrument panel and a tablet-sized one for infotainment system. Features include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and an Alpine 9-speaker audio system.
In terms of its engine, Jeep Philippines offers the Grand Cherokee L with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 which puts out 282 PS and 344 Nm of torque. It is paired to an 8 speed automatic with Jeep's Quadra-Trac full time 4WD system.
Safety features of the Grand Cherokee L include 8 airbags, surround view camera system and parksense front and rear park assist. For its ADAS features, the Grand Cherokee L has forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning, among others.
Jeep Philippines is now selling the Grand Cherokee L for PHP 5.490-million.
