Serving Fairfax, VA
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee are two of the most appealing SUVs on the road, blending sporty capabilities with family-style comfort. So, which is the right SUV for you? Our comparison guide has the answers.
Performance
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee is a small SUV that’s smooth and comfortable on the pavement and plenty capable over rugged terrain. Its standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine kicks up dust with 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. Two optional engines offer even higher power. We’re especially big fans of the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which maxes out at 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. All Cherokee trim levels offer optional all-wheel drive, except for the off-road-ready Trailhawk, which comes standard with this traction-inducing equipment.
On the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you’ll find even higher power. This midsize, five-passenger SUV comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine rated for 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. There are four increasingly powerful engines available to the Cherokee, the most notable of which is the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8. It pumps out 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque for blazing speed.
Appearance
Both the 2019 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee feature trademark Jeep style, with rugged stances and simple grille design. The Cherokee is a small SUV, so it’s perhaps better suited to urban landscapes and parallel parking spaces. The Grand Cherokee is a midsize SUV, which means more legroom for passengers, but also a more significant presence, on-road and off.
Features
Both the 2019 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee excel at blending a comfortable daily drive with rugged off-road power. Inside, you’ll find supportive seating and high-tech infotainment gear. These SUVs come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, giving you hands-free access to your smartphone. Both the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee offer a unique off-road-ready trim level, the Trailhawk, which is loaded with the gear you need for a day on the trail. This includes four-wheel drive with low-range gearing and an electronic rear differential that works with terrain-selectable traction settings.
