Newsweek has awarded the all-new 2021 Jeep® Grand Cherokee L (WL75) its “Best Family SUV” award as part of the publication’s annual 2021 Auto Awards competition. It continues to show strength with the new three-row offering in the Grand Cherokee lineup, as the Grand Cherokee L has won numerous awards over the past several months.

Unique features and attributes particularly appealing to families were specifically considered during vehicle evaluations. Newsweek staff noted that the Grand Cherokee’s spacious third-row, innovative infotainment system, next-generation technologies, and incredible passenger comfort were significant factors that helped the model earn its award.

“The Jeep Grand Cherokee L does more than expand the Grand Cherokee family,” said Eileen Falkenberg-Hull, senior editor of autos for Newsweek. “It elevates the three-row SUV experience, making it possible to transport family members in comfort and style thanks to an outstanding list of standard and available features paired with classic Jeep 4×4 capability.”

The third-row passenger space paired with its ample comfort and convenience appointments gave the Grand Cherokee L the edge in the Newsweek competition. With premium styling and craftsmanship inside and out, the state-of-the-art Jeep Grand Cherokee L features more than 110 advanced safety and security features, including advanced driver-assist systems, 360-degree surround view, and night vision cameras. Segment-leading, next-generation technologies include 10-inch digital screens, windshield head-up display, rear-seat monitoring camera, an available premium 19-speaker McIntosh audio system and class-leading USB ports to keep the entire family connected.

The Grand Cherokee L wasn’t the only Jeep SUV to take home awards in the competition. The all-new full-size three-row Wagoneer (WS) won the “Best Full-Size SUV” award, while the all-new more luxurious Grand Wagoneer took home the “Best Luxury SUV” honor.

“The Wagoneer brand is back, bringing with it a new way to experience full-size three-row SUVs,” Falkenberg-Hull noted. “The Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer punch above their price tag weight, delivering the types of features, capability, and design that families are seeking. On top of that, both models are incredibly easy to drive.”
