Name tweak: 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L updated with new name, tweaked features, and a new variant for Toyota Prado rival

The three-row Grand Cherokee L is now the Grand Cherokee 7 Seater, with the two-row called the 5 Seater.

Jeep Australia has updated the 2023 model range for the Grand Cherokee, but hasn’t raised pricing on most of its variants.

Instead, it’s changed features on the Jeep Grand Cherokee range, added a new model grade, and it’s even tweaked the naming conventions.

Instead of the seven-seater being named Grand Cherokee L, the two seating configurations are just called ‘7 Seater’ and ‘5 Seater’.

The 5 Seater, which launched at the start of February, remains unchanged as does its pricing, starting from $77,950 before on-road costs, but the 7 Seater has been the focus of this 2023 update, with a new Overland variant slotting in under the top-spec Summit Reserve variant.

Additionally, the Summit Reserve is the only variant with pricing changes, so the 7 Seater range still kicks off from $82,750 in Night Eagle guise, though now it tops out at $119,450, $3500 more than before.

All variants get updated connectivity, for features like 'emergency and roadside assistance calls' and 'internet related capabilities', as well as the aforementioned name change.

Other key changes include the changing of some leather to synthetic 'TechnoLeather', the removal of the headlight washer jets, and some variant-specific tweaks like the Night Eagle’s multimedia touchscreen being upped to a 10.1-inch unit over the old 8.4-inch version, or the Limited getting black headlining to replace the beige.

The 5 Seater remains as it was from launch in February 2023.

Racing video games, car-spotting on road trips, and helping wash the family VL Calais Turbo as a kid were all early indicators that an interest in cars would stay present in Chris’ life, but loading up his 1990 VW Golf GTI Mk2 and moving from hometown Brisbane to work in automotive publishing in Melbourne ensured cars would be a constant. With a few years as MOTOR Magazine’s first digital journalist under his belt, followed by a stint as a staff journalist for Wheels Magazine, Chris’ career already speaks to a passion for anything with four wheels, especially the 1989 Mazda MX-5 he currently owns. From spending entire weeks dissecting the dynamic abilities of sports cars to weighing up the practical options for car buyers from all walks of life, Chris’ love for writing and talking about cars means if you’ve got a motoring question, he can give you an answer.
