Sherman Jeep – Is the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L’s Third Row and Cargo Space Truly Family-Ready for Glenview, IL Drivers?
Families who need real versatility often ask how the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L balances adult-friendly seating with everyday cargo needs. If you regularly juggle school drop-offs, weekend sports, and long highway drives around Glenview, IL, the answer comes down to usable space, quick reconfiguration, and comfort in all three rows.
Start with the foundation. The Grand Cherokee L (3-row) rides on an extended wheelbase, which helps deliver both a smooth, planted drive and a more accommodating cabin. The second row offers Best-in-Class legroom, so growing teens have room to stretch. Choose available second-row bucket seats for individualized comfort and easy third-row access, or go with the available bench to seat up to seven. The third row is designed for family practicality—kids will love it, and adults will find it workable for shorter trips thanks to a natural seating position and smart footwell design.
When life demands more cargo space, the Grand Cherokee L is quick to adapt. The available power-folding third-row bench makes switching between people and packages almost effortless. With both rear rows folded, the cabin transforms into a box-friendly load floor for big retailers runs or bulky gear. The wide liftgate opening and thoughtful load height further simplify packing for road trips or moving days.
- Daily commuting: Keep the third row up for school carpools, then drop one side for band instruments or sports gear.
- Weekend getaways: Fold the third row flat for luggage and coolers while keeping second-row buckets for comfort.
- Big-box errands: Fold the second and third rows to create a long, level space for furniture, strollers, or home projects.
Comfort and oversight matter, too. Available Quad-Zone Automatic Temperature Control allows the driver, front passenger, and second row to set individual temperatures, easing climate disputes. Across all three rows, six USB-A and USB-C ports—two per row—keep tablets and phones charged for the long haul. Parents appreciate the available Rear-Seat Monitoring Camera, which streams both back rows to the Uconnect® 5 touchscreen and even lets you zoom, making it easier to check belts and booster seats without turning around.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the third row comfortable enough for teens on longer drives?
Yes, especially with the extended wheelbase that improves seat placement and foot space. Teens typically prefer the second row’s Best-in-Class legroom, but the third row is genuinely usable and can handle longer stints with smart rotation between rows.
Can I switch from people to cargo without wrestling with heavy seats?
If equipped, the available power-folding third-row bench lets you flatten or raise the seatbacks with the push of a button. It’s ideal when you’re juggling groceries, strollers, or sports bags and need hands-light flexibility.
How can I keep kids comfortable and devices powered on road trips?
Available Quad-Zone Automatic Temperature Control allows individual settings in front and second rows, and there are six USB-A and USB-C ports across all three rows to keep devices charged. Pair that with Uconnect® 5 for intuitive media and navigation, and you’ll have fewer “Are we there yet?” moments.
