Is the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L earns a 4.33/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

Owners consistently praise the luxury features, spaciousness, and driving experience, and they also like the engine power and stylish design. The overview points to a three-row SUV with premium interior materials, a great ride quality, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which fits shoppers who want family utility without giving up a more upscale feel. The main trade-offs are the underpowered base engine and the noisy cabin, so you should expect some refinement compromises even in a polished package.

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 that feels luxurious, spacious, and enjoyable to drive, which usually matters when you want something you can live with for years. The expert notes also emphasize the chassis’ composure and steering precision, along with a ride that stays controlled and comfortable, which supports the sense that the vehicle is built to handle daily use well. Jeep also covers three years of service and includes other benefits through Jeep Wave, which helps early ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the base powertrain may feel strained in heavier family use, so condition and maintenance history matter.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are common but not guaranteed. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on cabin wear, electronics, and how the drivetrain feels under load. Since this SUV is often bought for family duty, pay close attention to seat comfort, screen behavior, and whether the vehicle has been used hard in stop-and-go or towing situations.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: All Grand Cherokee L trim levels look impressive, but the base Laredo misses some of the richer visual and material upgrades found higher up, while Summit and Summit Reserve add black roofs, larger wheels, more chrome, and a more upscale cabin presentation.
• Powertrain: Two familiar engines are available: a 3.6-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter V8, both paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The V6 is described as underpowered in this heavy SUV, while the V8 brings stronger output and a better sound.
• Safety package: Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors come standard. 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 included, and Jeep offers an optional 10.3-inch passenger display plus optional dual 10.1-inch rear touchscreens with Amazon Fire TV. Upper trims also get more advanced tech features.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 is EPA-estimated at 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The V8 is rated at 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 Summit Reserve.

Here's the short version:

• Laredo: This is the entry point if you want the Grand Cherokee L’s three-row space and upscale design at the lowest price, but you give up some of the richer materials and advanced convenience features found higher up.
• Overland: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more premium equipment and is the trim that can be paired with the Off-Road Group package and all-terrain tires, which also makes it the only trim that earns the Jeep Trail-Rated badge.
• Summit: This trim is the step up if you want more luxury and more standard driver-assistance content, including automatic parking, front cross-traffic alert, driver attention monitor, and traffic sign recognition.
• Summit Reserve: This is the most lavish choice, with the 19-speaker McIntosh stereo and the richest overall equipment mix for buyers who want the most upscale Grand Cherokee L experience.

The safety package is strongest on the Summit trims, while Overland adds key capability-focused equipment if you want more than just on-road comfort.

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

The current average of $28,608 sits slightly below last year's $32,256.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, trim, and equipment rather than on broad market momentum alone. Well-kept examples with desirable features should hold up better than plain or heavily used ones.

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?

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

The 2022 Grand Cherokee L has not yet been tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Standard safety equipment includes driver and passenger knee airbags, a rear seat alert for possible unattended passengers, trailer sway control, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors.

Higher trims add more advanced assistance features, including automatic parking, front cross-traffic alert, driver attention monitor, and traffic sign recognition on Summit trims, with some of those features optional on Overland. If you want the most complete safety tech package, you should focus on the upper trims.

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:

• 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.31% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.33/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It adds a more polished, upscale feel with wireless phone integration and a stronger luxury mission.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $26,521, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $28,608 average.
• It introduced Jeep’s first three-row SUV in more than a decade.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,796, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $28,608 average.
• It continues the refined three-row formula with higher prices and more competition.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, inventory, and the 2022 model’s upscale character, this year makes sense as the primary target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2021 is the cheaper path, while the 2023 is the better fit if you’re willing to pay more for a newer-market example.
