Compare 2020 vs 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Performance

The 2020 model is not too different from the 2019 model in terms of performance. Regardless, they both still have excellent power on the road. Both models come standard with a 3.6-liter engine. They have a similar amount of horsepower, with the 2020 vehicle having 295 and the 2019 version having 293hp. The 2020 and 2019 models both have a V6 engine. Their city and highway mileage are identical, having 18 mpg and 25 mpg, respectively. Both models have four-wheel drive. That way, you have better control when driving through the harshest road conditions. They have an 8-speed shiftable automatic. Both pull the same amount of torque at 260 ft-lbs at 4000 rotations per minute. Being relatively large vehicles, you can rest easy knowing they both have descent control. Conveniently, each model has an electronic hi-lo gear selection.

Appearance

If you put a 2019 and 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee side by side, then you'll see minimal differences. One slight distinction you may notice is that the back of the front mirrors and the car handles on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee had a shiny, metal look. In the 2019 model, they're the same color as the vehicle. There are eight exterior colors available for both models, and they remain consistent. So if you couldn't choose between two hues when you got the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you have a chance to get the other color when you decide to purchase the 2020 model.

Features

Both models have pretty good safety and technological features that can make the car-riding experience more convenient. There's a lot of what you may expect of each vehicle, like rear door child safety locks and a remote anti-theft alarm system. That would only be new if you were someone who has been driving a 20-year old vehicle since you got your license. However, you'll be happy to hear that they contain safety features like child seat anchors and a Blind Spot Warning Accident Avoidance system. Both models have emergency braking preparation, which can save you from many fender benders. Each has traction control to help drivers on those slippery roads.

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a significant difference from its previous counterpart. This vehicle will be partially self-driving, which the car industry refers to as Level 2 Autonomous Driving. That means that the 2020 model will be able to brake, accelerate, and steer without driver input. It also means that a license holder must still be behind the wheel to keep an eye for obstacles and take control in case of an emergency. The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee can change lanes automatically, and this is an extra feature for a Level 2 vehicle. Whether you're interested in operating a partially self-driving car will help you determine which model is best for you.
