Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L earns 4.33/5 from owners and 7.83/10 from our experts. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its luxury features, spaciousness, and overall driving experience, and they also like the stylish design and strong engine feel. In use, that lines up with the overview: you get a three-row SUV that feels upscale, polished, and family-friendly without losing Jeep character.

The trade-offs are real, though. The base engine feels underpowered, and the cabin can be noisy under acceleration.

With 35.2% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L reliable?

Owners rate it 4.33/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle you can count on for luxury features, spaciousness, and a satisfying driving experience. That kind of praise usually matters most when you’re looking at a used SUV for long-term ownership, because it suggests the model has earned trust beyond the first impression.

The expert drive notes also support that sense of dependability by highlighting a composed chassis, taut steering, and strong ride control. Jeep’s three years of service and Jeep Wave benefits add a little ownership reassurance, too.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure you avoid a neglected example, since the base powertrain and cabin noise are the weak spots that can become more noticeable over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a proper inspection. Prioritize the condition of the interior, the electronics, and the drivetrain, since this SUV’s appeal depends heavily on its premium feel and technology working as intended.

Look closely at how the vehicle drives at low and highway speeds, and make sure the cabin noise, seat comfort, and screen behavior are acceptable to you. If you’re shopping a higher-mileage example, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is especially important.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Laredo gets six-speaker audio, while upper trims add more upscale materials, dual high-resolution screens, and richer interior finishes. The Summit and Summit Reserve bring black roofs, larger wheels, and more chrome, so you should decide whether you want the luxury upgrades or are fine with the simpler setup.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 3.6-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter V8, both with an eight-speed automatic and either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The V6 is the efficiency play, while the V8 is reserved for higher trims and brings stronger performance.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors. Automatic parking, front cross-traffic alert, driver attention monitor, and traffic sign recognition are standard on Summit trims and optional on Overland.
• Infotainment: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and Jeep offers an optional 10.3-inch passenger display plus optional dual 10.1-inch rear screens with Amazon Fire TV. Two phones can be connected at once, and the factory navigation can take over the instrument panel.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 is rated at 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, while the V8 returns 14/22/17.

Which 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L trim should I buy?

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is offered in 5 trim levels: Laredo, Overland, Summit, Summit Reserve, and Overland with the Off-Road Group.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Grand Cherokee L’s core three-row packaging and upscale design at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the nameplate and space without paying for the luxury extras.
• Overland: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more premium feel and can be paired with the Off-Road Group. That package brings all-terrain tires, skid plates, smaller 18-inch wheels, and the Trail-Rated badge, so it’s the trim to target if you want the most capability without jumping all the way to the top.
• Summit: This trim leans hard into luxury and adds features like automatic parking, front cross-traffic alert, driver attention monitor, and traffic sign recognition. It suits you if comfort and tech matter more than value.
• Summit Reserve: This is the most lavish version, with the 19-speaker McIntosh stereo and the richest interior presentation. It’s the pick if you want the most premium cabin and don’t mind paying for it.
• Overland with the Off-Road Group: This is the choice if you want the Grand Cherokee L’s strongest trail-ready setup. It’s the only trim that earns the Jeep Trail-Rated badge, and it adds the hardware you need for rougher terrain.

Standard safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,784 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.01% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,209, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L's resale value?

The current average of $28,209 sits slightly below last year's $32,059.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, the key question is whether the model’s premium feel and strong owner satisfaction can help it hold demand better than a more ordinary three-row SUV.

Because the price range is still relatively broad, condition and trim will matter a lot when you eventually resell. Well-equipped examples with desirable features should be easier to move than stripped-down versions.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.33/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L safe?

The 2022 Grand Cherokee L has not yet been tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, driver and passenger knee airbags, a rear seat alert, and trailer sway control. Jeep also offers Active Driving Assist on upper trims, and it does a good job steering the SUV on marked highway lanes.

One caveat is that some of the more advanced safety and convenience features are trim-dependent, so you should confirm exactly what’s fitted on the used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.01% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.33/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It adds wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a more polished cabin.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $26,237, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $28,209 average.
• It introduced Jeep’s first three-row SUV in more than a decade.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,518, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $28,209 average.
• It keeps the upscale feel while leaning even more toward comfort-first family use.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, features, and market availability, the 2022 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 can save you money, while the 2023 makes sense if you want to pay more for a newer example.
