How much does the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L cost?

Prices have softened 11.70% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

If you find a listing below $28,398.74, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 its luxury features, spaciousness, and driving experience, and they also like the engine’s power and the stylish design. The overview points to the same appeal: a three-row SUV with premium interior materials, a great ride quality, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The main trade-offs are the underpowered base engine and the noisy cabin, so you should expect more comfort and polish than outright refinement.

With 34.3% of listings marked 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 also points to a vehicle that feels luxurious, spacious, and enjoyable to drive, with no shortage of praise for its overall ownership experience. That kind of feedback matters when you want a used SUV you can count on over time.

The test-drive notes reinforce that dependability story with a chassis that feels stellar, taut, and direct for a vehicle this large. Jeep also includes three years of service and other benefits through the Jeep Wave program, which can help ease early ownership. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained well, since a premium, feature-rich SUV can be costly if prior care was inconsistent.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a full records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on cabin condition, electronics, and how the vehicle drives under load. Since this SUV is meant to balance family use with premium features, you should pay close attention to wear, noise, and whether the equipment works as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Laredo starts with lower-end stereos, while upper trims add more luxury and convenience features such as premium audio, four-zone climate, manual second-row window shades, automatic parking, front cross-traffic alert, driver attention monitor, and traffic sign recognition. If you want the richest feature set, the Summit and Summit Reserve stand out.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 3.6-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter V8, both with an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The V6 is the efficiency-minded choice, while the V8 brings stronger performance.
• Safety package: Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors come standard. Active Driving Assist is available on higher trims, and some advanced features are reserved for Summit trims or 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-seat touchscreens with Amazon Fire TV. Higher trims also bring more premium tech features.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 returns an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, while 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 core comfort without paying for the luxury extras. It makes sense if you value the basic package and want to keep your budget in check.
• Overland: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest blend of comfort, capability, and equipment. It is also the trim that can get all-terrain tires with the Off-Road Group, and it is the only trim that earns the Jeep Trail-Rated badge.
• Summit: This trim adds a more upscale feel and brings features such as automatic parking, front cross-traffic alert, driver attention monitor, and traffic sign recognition. It suits you if you want a more premium daily driver.
• Summit Reserve: This is the most luxurious choice, with the 19-speaker McIntosh stereo and the richest overall equipment list. It is the trim to choose if you want the most upscale Grand Cherokee L experience.

The safety package starts with standard driver aids, while some advanced features are reserved for higher trims or optional equipment.

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

The current average of $28,387 sits slightly below last year's $32,150.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale value will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment level rather than just model-year desirability. Well-kept examples with desirable features should hold up better than neglected ones, especially as shoppers compare them against newer alternatives.

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.

Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors come standard.

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:

• 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.70% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.33/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It blends premium materials, a great ride, and wireless smartphone integration in a three-row package.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $26,382, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $28,387 average.
• It launched Jeep’s first three-row SUV in years with upscale tech and strong handling.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,626, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $28,387 average.
• It adds higher-priced refinement and keeps the comfort-focused three-row formula.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, inventory, and upscale family-SUV appeal, the 2022 is the primary path to consider. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2021 can save you money while keeping much of the same core appeal.
