I just watched the whole release video. I’m not a huge jeep fan, but I have to say that I admire their branding and sticking to design cues throughout their line. And their heritage and tying that to the new vehicles. I just wish our BMW guys would pull their heads out of their you know what’s, and do the same for BMW. Instead we get hodge podge of different looking grills across the line that don’t even have grills or lighting that has any bloodline left in it. Really should fire them all and get a design studio that understands why bmw is supposed to be special, then homologate the model line with similar design cues tied back to heritage in racing, and why our beamers are supposed to be special. Watching this jeep video should be an inspiration for those bmw designers looking for new jobs. Rant over. Sheesh.
Anyways good job team Jeep, good video, good release! Makes me want to go check one out.

Not the same platform. This is riding on Alfa Romeo's Giorgio Platform. Durango is on the aging MB GL/M-Class platform.

Looks functional. Not flashy but will appeal to families.

Man I really liked the last generation's sport look, especially with the SRT and trackhawk versions....I wonder how they are going to make this one look as sport with its newer more square proportions?

If I were to sell my f80, I was thinking about picking up an SRT but not sure now...unless I go used.

Grand Cherokee-L Pricing Announced

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Priced From $36,995, Top Trim Is $65,290

Jeep sailed through the 2010s with a strong lineup of crossovers and SUVs, though it lacked a proper three-row offering. That changed earlier this year with the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, an elongated GC with extra seats wedged in the back. The new SUV is set to arrive at dealerships later this year, but before it arrives, Jeep has detailed its pricing. The 2021 GC L will start at $36,995, excluding the $1,695 destination charge.

The entry-level price is for the two-wheel-drive Laredo model, which sports the company’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. Adding four-wheel drive, which is an available option on the Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, and Summit trims, adds $2,000. The next trim up, the Altitude, starts at $40,195. That’s followed by the Limited at $43,995. The V6-powered Overland starts at $52,995, though the V8 version, which uses the brand’s 5.7-liter V8, starts at $58,290.

Near the top of the range is the Summit trim that starts at $56,995. That’s for the V6 model, with the V8 commanding $62,290 to start. The top-tier offering is the Summit Reserve, which is only available with four-wheel drive, though customers can choose between spending $61,995 for the V6 one or $65,290 for one with the V8.

The V6 produces 290 horsepower (216 kilowatts) and 257 pound-feet (348 Newton-meters) of torque, while the V8 offers 357 hp (266 kW) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm). Both pair to the company’s TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic gearbox, with the V8 model offering up to a 7,200-pound (3,265-kilogram) towing capacity.

The new, longer Grand Cherokee L packs a new, more luxurious interior, with a revamped instrument panel stack, center console, and infotainment touchscreen that’s available in both 8.4 and 10.1 inches. The trim does determine the materials used inside, with the new-for-2021 Summit Reserve offering touches like open-pore waxed walnut wood covers, hand-wrapped Palermo leather seats, and more.

The SUV has no shortage of standard safety features, either, offering full-speed collision warning, rear cross-path detection, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane-keep assist, and more. Then there are the optional safety features that offer Level 2 automated assisted driving. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L will begin to arrive at dealerships in the second quarter of 2021.
