The center screen looks sleek though it's a 10.1-inch display that blends seamlessly into the center console. There are some chintzy plastics within reach and wood on the steering wheel is clearly fake, but that's not uncommon for the class. The cabin looks clean, with a mix of high-quality materials like aluminum, wood – and on this Overland model – standard Nappa leather. Thankfully, the slim LED taillights with a two-tone red-and-white housing do most of the heavy lifting stylistically. The shiny stuff on the front fascia extends to the side profile and across the trunk lid, and it doesn't look any better in the rear. The wheels are a set of 20-inch, 10-spoke units that fit the personality of the Grand Cherokee exceptionally well, and the Velvet Red paint is common on the Grand Cherokee – even though it is a $345 option. We're not too fond of the faux chrome treatment, but some customers will probably appreciate the upscale add-on compared to lesser trims. This Overland model also gets polished silvery trim around the grille pieces and lower opening.

Instead, it builds upon its predecessor's rugged styling with a flat hood line, slim headlights, and a large lower opening beneath the iconic seven-slat grille. The Grand Cherokee L doesn’t immediately wow you with its good looks.
