Jeep Cherokee vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Cost

Both of these SUVs have a lot of power under the hood and a lot of room on the inside. But you get a little more SUV with the Grand Cherokee, so that’s going to be reflected in the price. Here are the starting prices of each:

  • 2021 Jeep Cherokee – $27,805
  • 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee – $33,865

Jeep Cherokee vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Power

Like we said, both SUVs are powerful, but the Grand Cherokee may be the better option for you if you have a lot of towing to do around the Blue Springs area. The towing capacity for the Grand Cherokee Laredo is 3,500 pounds, compared to 2,000 pounds for the Cherokee Latitude. That’s because the 2021 Cherokee Latitude comes with a 2.4L I-4 engine that produces 180 horsepower, while the 2021 Grand Cherokee Laredo has a 3.6L V-6 engine that produces 293 horsepower.

Jeep Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee: Fuel Economy

2021 Jeep Cherokee

  • City – 22 mpg
  • Highway – 31 mpg

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Highway – 26 mpg

Jeep Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee: Interior Space

Both the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee are downright cavernous on the inside. The 2021 Grand Cherokee has an incredible 68.3 cubic feet of cargo space, compared to 54.7 cubic feet in the Cherokee, which isn’t too shabby, either. On the other hand, your passengers will have more room in the Cherokee. It has 128 cubic feet of passenger space, compared to 105 cubic feet in the Grand Cherokee. So, when it comes to room on the inside, we have to call this Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee comparison a tie. Looking for more seating space in a Jeep SUV?
