Exterior Design: Jeep DNA, Refined
Visually, the Grand Cherokee L Limited is clean-cut and unmistakably upscale. While the styling doesn’t scream for attention, it radiates a quiet confidence. The seven-slot grille remains front and center, flanked by slim LED headlights and a sculpted hood that hints at capability underneath. Chrome accents subtly break up the body-color surfaces, while a sharp beltline and elongated silhouette give it a presence reminiscent of higher-tier luxury SUVs.
The L variant’s extended wheelbase (compared to the standard Grand Cherokee) allows for proper third-row seating without resorting to a bulbous rear. From the rear, sleek taillights and a purposeful tailgate lend a cohesive, modern finish. Eighteen-inch polished aluminum wheels come standard on the Limited trim, but optional 20-inch wheels fill the arches nicely for those who want more visual punch.
Interior Layout: Where Comfort Meets Practicality
Inside the Grand Cherokee L Limited, there’s a noticeable step up in craftsmanship compared to earlier generations. This is no longer just a rugged off-roader with leather seats—Jeep has gone to great lengths to make the cabin refined and welcoming. Materials feel upscale, and the layout is clean, with a horizontal dashboard dominated by an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen display.
The Limited trim seats six or seven, depending on your choice between second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat. The standard captain’s chair setup creates a first-class feel in the second row, while the third row remains surprisingly adult-friendly for short to mid-length trips. Legroom in the second row measures an impressive 39.4 inches, while third-row legroom sits at a modest but usable 30.3 inches.
Cargo space is equally generous. Behind the third row, you get 17.2 cubic feet of space, expanding to 46.9 with the third row folded and a cavernous 84.6 cubic feet with all seats down. This SUV was built with road trips in mind.
Powertrain and Performance: Smooth, Capable, Confident
Powering the 2025 Grand Cherokee L Limited is Jeep’s ubiquitous 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. It’s not the flashiest engine in the lineup, but it’s rock-solid—delivering 290 horsepower and 257 lb-ft of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration is brisk for its size, with 0 to 60 mph arriving in around 7.5 seconds. The engine pulls confidently at highway speeds, and the transmission is smooth and predictable, always seeming to find the right gear without fuss.
Available in rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, the Limited trim favors comfort and drivability over extreme off-road readiness, though the latter can be easily optioned with Jeep’s Quadra-Trac I 4×4 system and a single-speed active transfer case.
Ride quality is among the best in its class. The suspension strikes a fine balance between composure and compliance, absorbing bumps without ever feeling floaty. Even on twisty canyon roads near Thousand Oaks, the Grand Cherokee L Limited feels planted and well-mannered, belying its size. Jeep’s attention to NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels is noticeable too—it’s one of the quietest Jeep cabins to date.
Towing and Utility: Ready for the Weekend
Where some rivals hesitate, the Grand Cherokee L Limited delivers. Equipped properly, it can tow up to 6,200 pounds—more than enough for boats, small campers, or utility trailers. It also boasts a standard trailer sway control system and multiple drive modes for different terrain conditions, including Snow, Sand/Mud, and Sport.
The Grand Cherokee L may wear a dress shirt inside, but it’s still wearing hiking boots underneath.
Infotainment and Connectivity: Uconnect Delivers
Jeep’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system continues to be one of the best in the business. On the Limited trim, the 8.4-inch display is crisp and responsive, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Navigation, over-the-air updates, and Alexa integration are also available.
The digital driver information display behind the wheel adds a modern touch, while available upgrades like the 10.1-inch screen and rear-seat entertainment packages add tech flair for families that want more. USB ports are generously distributed across all three rows—so no one’s fighting for power.
Safety Features: A Confident Daily Driver
As expected in 2025, the Grand Cherokee L Limited comes loaded with safety tech. Standard features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, full-speed forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
Jeep has also engineered this SUV with a high-strength steel frame and eight airbags as standard, helping it earn strong safety ratings across the board.
Trim Rundown
The “Limited” sits above the Laredo and Altitude trims and offers a rich feature set without pushing into Summit-level pricing. Standard features include:
- Power liftgate
- Heated front and second-row seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Remote start
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Leather upholstery
It’s the Goldilocks trim: well-equipped, comfortably priced, and classily executed.
Final Thoughts: The Right Kind of Big
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited hits a sweet spot for families who want genuine versatility without stepping into full-size SUV territory. It rides smoothly, fits into suburban garages, and carries up to seven with comfort and class.
For buyers in Thousand Oaks and surrounding areas, it’s an appealing blend of California-ready daily driver and mountain trail companion. It’s equally at home on the 101 as it is on a backroad to Big Bear.
With its refined looks, strong V6, spacious interior, and undeniable Jeep identity, the Grand Cherokee L Limited is more than just a family hauler—it’s a lifestyle enabler. One that doesn’t shout, but definitely knows how to speak up when it counts.
