If you're looking for a capable Jeep® SUV, you can't go wrong with either the 2023 Jeep Cherokee or the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both are equipped for tough towing jobs and more than ready for an off-road adventure.
However, there are some key differences between these two models that shoppers at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Harrisburg should be aware of. Here's how these two excellent SUVs compare in some important areas.
Interior Space
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is essentially a big brother to the Jeep Cherokee, so it shouldn't surprise you that it offers more interior space. Both seat five, but the Jeep Cherokee maxes out at 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the back row folded down. The Jeep Grand Cherokee can make up to 70.8 cubic feet of space.
On top of that, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is now available with a third row. So it can seat up to seven people, or you can fold down both back rows to make up to 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room.
Engine Options
The 2023 Jeep Cherokee is available with two engines, including a potent 2.0-liter turbo that helps it best any other SUV in its class with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. A less powerful option maxes out at 180 horsepower.
The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee can be equipped with two different engines, including a HEMI® V8 engine that produces more than 350 horsepower. This SUV is also available as a hybrid.
Towing Capacity
The difference in power between these two SUVs also means differences in towing capacity. The 2023 Jeep Cherokee can tow an impressive 4,000 lbs, but the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee has it beat with a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 polbsunds.
