I recently drove the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L for the first time. They seem to be slowly popping up in the fleet. The old model was one of my favorites to rent so I was excited. It's a very sharp-looking car (though it looks less like a Jeep). This one had captain's chairs in the second row and a bench in the third. Leg room seemed pretty paltry, but that was the only real negative. It's a remarkably smooth ride, the interior looks good, the seats are comfortable, the powertrain is capable, real-world MPG is slightly better, etc. I'm hoping the new model becomes as common across the fleet as the old one.
i skipped it once I saw the rear bumper was scraped up pretty bad and big scratch on the passenger door. Didn’t want that to come back and haunt me later.

q3/x2 fall under that category , both are base trim and the q3 even has a turn key ignition . The x2 doesn't support Android auto, only carplay

I haven't driven the 2022 two-row so I couldn't compare those. It didn't feel any heftier than the 2021 and prior.

i just saw one on the lot for the first time. Almost snagged it to swap out my XT5 with (monthly rental). It seemed huge though, did it feel like driving a boat compared to the two row version?

Weird question - I have been keeping an eye on Alamo rates for an upcoming rental- primarily interested in the Premium Elite and Full Sized Elite sedans and yesterday and today there is no description (aka its blank) for that option next to the picture of the BMW 5 series and it still has a price and you can select but it won’t show the class of car are renting which stopped me from proceeding because I always want that stated in the reservation
