The three-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L, which debuted in 2022, returns in 2023 with class-leading comfort and luxury at a reasonable price. A huge success since it launched, this mid-size SUV is a family hauler that drives excellently in any situation, especially in bad weather.

Newly launched as a long-wheelbase version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, it enters 2023 with few changes. They include an in-dash navigation as standard equipment in the Limited and Overland models and Jeep’s optional Alpine stereo with nine-speaker in the Limited trim. Other additions include the McIntosh 19-speaker system for the Overland and Summit editions.

The L in the Grand Cherokee stands for long-wheelbase, allowing enough room to seat seven passengers comfortably. It is taller and 15 inches longer than the regular Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L shares many of the same features and styling as the redesigned two-row 2022 Grand Cherokee. In addition, it includes advanced safety technology, 10.25-inch touchscreen displays, backseat entertainment, and multiple available packages. Backseat entertainment includes dual 10.1-inch displays with built-in Amazon Fire TV that streams videos through Wi-Fi or the vehicle’s mobile hotspot.

Models/Pricing: The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L comes in six trim levels with 4×2 or 4×4 suspensions. The 4×4 model adds $2,000 to the price tag.  The Grand Cherokee L Laredo ($44,830), Altitude ($49,935), Limited ($51,560), Overland ($60,990), Summit ($65,505), which offers the V6 and V8 engine, and the Summit Reserve only comes with the 4×4 ($71,985) and the 5.7-liter eight-cylinder powertrain.

Power: The Altitude, Laredo, and Limited are powered by a 3.6-liter six-cylinder that generates 293 horsepower. The Overland and Summit models offer the base six-cylinder or the 5.7-liter eight-cylinder that gets 357 horsepower, and the top-of-line Summit Reserve comes standard with a 4×4 and the eight-cylinder engine. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel Economy: The six-cylinder engine averages 19 city/26 highway mpg, while the V8 is rated at 14 city/22 highway mpg.

The Classy and Powerful 2022 Jaguar F-Pace

written by Randi

The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace is a mid-size luxury SUV with premium features and efficient performance. It’s the largest SUV in the Jaguar lineup. It’s bigger than the smaller E-Pace and more affordable than the all-electric I-Pace SUV.

The five-passenger F-Pace was refreshed last year and enters 2022 with few changes. In addition to its great looks, the F-Pace is powerful, fuel-efficient, and offers a comfortable ride.

The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace distinguishes itself from many other luxury SUVs and seems to be in a class of its own. The quality of the sheet metal is superior to many of its rivals in its class. About 80 percent of the F-Paced is made with aluminum, reducing weight and strengthening its body structure.

Although it competes with other mid-size luxury SUVs like Mercedes-Benz GLE, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X5, it maintains Jaguar’s motoring heritage. I test drove the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace R-Dynamic S model, which was roomy, practical, and fun to drive.

Models/Price: The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace comes in four different configurations: P250 ($52,050), P250 S ($55,150), P340 S ($60,750), and the P400 R-Dynamic S ($66,650 MSRP).

Power: The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace offers three engine options: the base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder six-cylinder that generates 246 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder that produces 335 horsepower, and a supercharged six that gets 395 horses. All models are all-wheel drive and have an eight-speed automatic transmission tuned for sporty performance.

Fuel Economy: The EPA rates the F-Pace’s four-cylinder at 22 city/27 highway mpg. The six-cylinder averages 20 city/27 highway mpg.

All F-Pace models have standard collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

They also include a standard 11.4-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, controls for the Meridian stereo system with 14 speakers, and optional built-in navigation.

To overcome past perceptions of maintenance problems, Jaguar offers the best coverage in the segment, including extended complimentary scheduled maintenance and a powertrain warranty for five years or 60,0000 miles.
