Hey, would you look at that! Another award for the Jeep Grand Cherokee. One of the newest offerings in the lineup, the three-row Grand Cherokee L, was named one of the Best 7-Passenger SUVs of 2022 by the experts at Forbes.

The new Grand Cherokee L ranked No. 3 in the standings, with Forbes Wheels contributor Jen Dunnaway noting that the seven-seater version of the SUV “lays in a middle ground between mass-market and luxury SUVs.” Factors considered by Forbes in the awards include fuel economy, price, safety features, and driving experience.
Other strong points highlighted are consistent with the qualities that have made the Grand Cherokee the most award-winning SUV of all time. Namely, great off-road capabilities, ample towing for its size, premium interior quality, and leading-edge technologies.
Among the pros listed out are the luxurious higher trim options like the Summit and Summit Reserve, superior towing stats compared to the competition, and a smooth-handling ride.
“With its true four-low range, available adjustable air suspension, and 6,200-pound maximum towing capacity, the Grand Cherokee L also packs much more capability than most three-row crossovers, making it a great choice for families who play hard but enjoy the finer things as well,” Dunnaway writes.
The Quadra-Lift air suspension and Selec-Terrain traction management system are options that ensure the connection between the luxurious three-row SUV and Jeep’s off-road-ready roots. Of course, you’ve got the trio of 4×4 systems — Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II — and a Trail Rated badge on the Grand Cherokee L Overland.
This is just the most recent honor for the Grand Cherokee L, which also picked up the title of Best Full-Size SUV from Good Housekeeping earlier this year.
