The "Talking Cars" podcast episode provides initial impressions of the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, highlighting its significant update after a decade. While praised for its spaciousness and comfortable front seats, the vehicle falls short in key areas for its price point. Reviewers noted vague steering, a disappointing and noisy V6 engine that feels underpowered when loaded, and questionable interior fit-and-finish issues, including rattling panels and cheap-feeling materials. The new Uconnect 5 infotainment system, though logically organized, is described as complex with small text and buttons, and poorly placed, glare-prone physical controls. Despite a capable highway ride and decent handling for its size, the overall impression suggests the Grand Cherokee L may not stack up as favorably against competitors as expected, pending full testing.
