Dealer Allocation Opens For 2021 Jeep® Grand Cherokee L Laredo & Altitude Models:

In February, we released details thanks to our dealer sources that the Jeep® brand had opened up ordering on selected packages of its highly-anticipated three-row 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. At the time, ordering was only available for dealers for select pre-configured packages for Limited and Summit models. Then Overland models became available for ordering. Now, our dealer sources are telling us that Jeep has now opened ordering for the entry-level Laredo and sporty Altitude models as well.

Although the Laredo model might be the entry-level model, the Laredo comes packed with tons of standard equipment. Customers can expect the following…

• 18-Inch x 8-Inch Fine Silver Aluminum Wheels
• 265/60R18 Michelin Primacy XC A/S or Michelin Primacy LTX A/S Tires
• Premium LED Reflector Headlamps with Integrated Amber-Colored DRLs
• LED Taillamps
• Automatic Headlamps
• Power Mirrors – Manual Foldaway with Heating Element and Blind-Spot Indicator (Fine Silver Cap)
• Cloth Seating
• Power 8-Way Driver and Manual Front-Passenger Seats with Driver Lumbar Adjuster
• Manually Adjustable Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
• 50/50 Manual-Folding Third-Row Bench Seat
• Electronic Paddle Shifters
• 10.1-Inch Uconnect 5 Touchscreen Infotainment 
• Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
• 10.3-Inch Digital Gauge Cluster
• 6-Speaker Audio System
• 12-USB Ports (Including Type-A & Type-C)
• Roof Rack – Black Rails with Bright Stainless Insert

Dealers will be able to order from three different pre-configurator packages for the new Laredo models. We have broken down those packages below.

Slotted just above the Grand Cherokee L Laredo, is the Altitude model. Based on the Laredo, the Altitude adds the popular dark treatment people have come to love on models across the Jeep vehicle portfolio for the past decade. 

• 20-Inch x 8-Inch Gloss Black Aluminum Wheels
• 265/50R20 Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus Black Sidewall A/S Tires
• Gloss Black Grille
• Gloss Black Lower Fascia Trim
• Gloss Black Badges
• Gloss Black Exterior Mirrors
• Black DLO Side Window Trim
• Dark Headlamp Bezels
• Dark Taillamps

With the addition of the Laredo and Altitude models, there also comes some good news for those who have been waiting for the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. Our dealer sources also note that dealers can now order the HEMI on Overland and Summit models. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 delivers a robust 357 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. The HEMI is mated to a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission and the brawny HEMI V8 with 4×4 has ratings up to 7,200 lbs. (matching the Durango R/T’s standard rating, but coming in at 1,500 lbs. less than the new R/T Tow & Go package, SRT392, and Hellcat models ratings of 8,700 lbs.

We expect the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models to be arriving in dealerships within the next couple of weeks. For more information about ordering availability, you can contact your local Jeep dealer.
