To demonstrate how unique and fitting the new Grand Cherokee can be with your lifestyle, we're going to compare it to the new Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer, so you can see first-hand that the competition can't compare to what the new Jeep Grand Cherokee brings to the table.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Honda Pilot

  • The Grand Cherokee comes equipped with a more powerful standard engine than the Pilot. The Grand Cherokee comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces an impressive 295-horsepower, while the new Pilot comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 280-horsepower. Furthermore, the Grand Cherokee is available with three other engine options that max out at 475-horsepower, and the Pilot only offers that one engine across all trims.
  • With such powerful engine options under the hood, the new Grand Cherokee is able to tow up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped, while the Pilot has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
  • The Grand Cherokee comes with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, while the Pilot comes with a six-speed automatic transmission.
  • Even in an SUV, maneuverability is important. The Grand Cherokee has a turning diameter of 37.1 feet, while the Pilot has a 39.4 foot turning diameter.
  • The Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with a 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan. The Honda Pilot comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile roadside assistance plan.




 

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Toyota Highlander

  • If you're looking for power in your next SUV, the Grand Cherokee has plenty more of it for you than the Highlander does. The Grand Cherokee comes equipped with a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 295-horsepower, while the Highlander falls short with a standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that produces just 185-horsepower. You'd have to pay extra and upgrade to the available 3.5-liter V6 offered in the Highlander just to match the 295-horsepower in the standard engine of the Grand Cherokee.
  • Even with a larger and more powerful engine under the hood, the new Grand Cherokee still achieves a higher estimated fuel economy than the highlander does, offering 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while the Highlander offers 20 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
  • With such larger engine options and capabilities, the Grand Cherokee offers up to 2,400 pounds of towing ability while the Highlander maxes out at 5,000.
  • The new Grand Cherokee comes with a five-years/100,000 miles powertrain warranty while the Highlander comes with a five-years/60,000 miles powertrain warranty.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Ford Explorer

  • Price should always play a factor in your decision about which vehicle is the best fit for you. The Grand Cherokee has a starting MSRP price of $30,395 while the Explorer starts at $31,660, allowing you to save over $1,000 choosing the Grand Cherokee.
  • The Grand Cherokee continues to out power the opposition with a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 295-horsepower. The Explorer, on the other hand, falls short with a similar 3.5-liter flex fuel V6 engine that produces 290-horsepower.
  • The Grand Cherokee proves that power doesn't always diminish fuel economy. The Grand Cherokee achieves an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while the Explorer offers 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
  • And with a fuel capacity of 24.6 gallons in the Grand Cherokee compared to the 18.6 gallon tank in the Explorer, you'll have to stop for gas far less frequently behind the wheel of the Grand Cherokee.
