The Jeep Grand Cherokee L can be the three-row Grand Cherokee, so whereas I’ve already discovered how a lot stuff can match within the two-row mannequin’s cargo space, this baggage check will measure how a lot suits behind the L’s third row. That will be customary working process for three-row automobiles round right here at Baggage Check HQ.
In response to the specs, there may be 17.7 cubic ft of house behind the raised third row within the Grand Cherokee L. This is able to be mid-pack for the three-row crossover SUV phase. As I’ve repeatedly discovered, nevertheless, these numbers will be deceiving since they might or could not embrace underfloor storage that will or might not be helpful for hauling luggage. The JGCL does have underfloor storage, however I could not inform if it counts towards that 17.7 quantity and also you’re about to see if it is really helpful.
Right here is the house in query. As Dr. Evil would say, “Fairly customary actually.”
Now, what about that underfloor storage query?
Nope! This isn’t going to be useful. Maybe if Jeep discovered a unique place to retailer the jack, however as is, this would possibly not be useful for baggage. I can let you know proper now that the JGCL will not be difficult the Telluride and Pilot for Baggage Check supremacy.
As with each Baggage Check I do, I take advantage of two midsize curler suitcases that may have to be checked in on the airport (26 inches lengthy, 16 large, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that simply barely match within the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that matches simply (23L x 15W x 10D). I additionally embrace my spouse’s fancy in a single day bag simply to spruce issues up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).
That is technically one of the best I may do: the 2 medium luggage (backside), one of many two largest luggage (blue higher left) and a squished and cockeyed fancy bag. That is clearly a bit janky. I additionally was not in a position to put the larger bag on the underside alongside one of many medium luggage as I may within the Nissan Pathfinder and Subaru Ascent.
Nevertheless, there are some options.
Whereas I did not have the luggage essential to neatly fill this house, you may see above that I might’ve been in a position to match an additional small roll-aboard and fancy bag if I had them.
Now, I have never completed this with different three-row automobiles, so I can not actually say how this outcome stacks up with the competitors. However, it does offer you a reasonably good thought of what can match again right here. Frankly, six luggage for a seven-passenger car is fairly good. You simply have to verify nobody goes nuts on the packing entrance.
In the end, although, the dearth of underfloor storage and a barely narrower cargo space do hamper the Grand Cherokee L, and places it towards the underside of the three-row crossover SUV phase.
