Capabilities of the Grand Cherokee L

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L continues its legendary legacies of advanced capability, offering multiple engines, the 3.6L Pentastar V6, a class-exclusive V8 engine, and a class-exclusive PHEV powertrain that give you the power to explore. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine features Electronic Stop/Start Technology. It also delivers up to 293 horsepower and can tow up to 6,200 pounds. The 5.7L HEMI V8 engine provides up to 357 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds.

Capabilities of the Explorer

The 2022 Ford Explorer also offers a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4, 3.3-liter V6 Hybrid, and a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6. A turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine propels most versions of the 2022 Explorer. It makes 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. A new option for 2022 is the deletion of the automatic stop/restart function for this engine that saves fuel while idling but irritates some drivers when it kicks back in. A hybrid drivetrain pairs a naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for 318 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.

Cargo Room of the Grand Cherokee L

The Grand Cherokee L offers more passenger seating and more versatile cargo space. With seating for up to seven passengers and 17.2 cubic feet of cargo room, fold the third row down, and you will have room for up to five passengers and 46.9 cubic feet of cargo space, fold all the seats down and gain an impressive 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space—perfect for hauling home improvement supplies. In addition, the new Passenger Screen makes it easy for passengers to navigate the journey and send directions to the driver's display.

Cargo Room of the Explorer

The 2022 Explorer has a 7-seat configuration with a 3-person bench in the second row. Back in the third row, 32.2 inches of rear legroom and low-slung seat cushions make this space only suitable for the youngest family members. However, that bench can be swapped out or captains chairs in any of the higher trims for an extra cost. Cargo space goes from 18.2 cubic feet behind the third row. Overall, the cabin is acceptably quiet and comfortable, though not particularly attractive in basic form. There's a rotary gearshift, 10 cup holders, and five 12-volt outlets
