Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Jeep Cherokee

When it comes to Jeep models, there are various options for drivers in the Sandusky and Avon Lake, Ohio, area. To determine which is best for your travels, you’ll want to see what makes each Jeep unique.

Below, our Firelands Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) team details what sets the Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Cherokee apart. That way, you can decide on the one suited for your journey each day along the roads of Willard, Port Clinton, and Fremont.

What Is the Difference Between the Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Cherokee?
 

Size plays a significant role in distinguishing the Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee, being the larger of the two, boasts a spacious interior.

This generous space makes it an excellent choice for family outings and those who appreciate added comfort during long journeys. That’s because the 2-row model has 145 cubic feet of passenger volume, and the 3-row model offers 152 cubic feet.

On the other hand, the Cherokee's compact design is perfect if it’ll be used for your commute to work each day and you need something suitable for trips with just yourself and your partner. That’s thanks to its maneuverability and nimble size, which allows it to navigate tight city streets with ease.

Performance Capabilities
 

Both the Grand Cherokee and Cherokee come equipped with impressive powertrains that cater to different driving needs. Looking first at the Jeep Cherokee, you’ll find a standard 2.4L engine under its hood. With it, you can enjoy efficient performance as it gets up an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG.

In contrast, the Grand Cherokee stands out with its robust power and towing capabilities. It boasts a powerful engine lineup, which starts with its standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine. Generating up to 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, this standard engine offers a towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds.

Of course, both of these models are Jeeps, which means you can configure them to handle all sorts of road conditions and terrain to give you the ability to drive where and when you want to!

Safety Systems of the Grand Cherokee vs Cherokee
 

Jeep always prioritizes safety for drivers and passengers, which is why you’ll find a variety of systems featured in both SUVs designed to help you reach your destination safe and sound.

They both have features to assist you when determining if it’s clear to change lanes and when there are sudden stops ahead of you as you drive. They both offer assistance when parking, whether along the street in the city or in a crowded parking lot.

Suppose you take long road trips or often commute home after sunset. In that case, the Grand Cherokee has both available Night Vision to help you see animals or pedestrians in your path and available Drowsy Driver Detection to let you know when to take a break.
