The Jeep Cherokee falls into the compact SUV category, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee sits within the grouping of midsize SUV. Finding the best option regarding space comes down to your personal needs.
To help, we’ve separated this comparison into two categories. Pick the phrase that’s most relatable to your situation and read on to see which vehicle fits the bill.
Local families love the Grand Cherokee, and we think yours will, too. It comes with split-folding rear seats for added flexibility and various configurations for passengers and cargo. Here’s a tip: Split-folding seating is great for storing longer items, such as your daughter’s field hockey stick or the skateboard you’re giving your son for his birthday.
As for your commute into the city, the Cherokee has an exterior length of 182 inches—a bit smaller than the 189.8 inches of the Grand Cherokee. With this smaller profile, you’ll be able to nab that last streetside parking spot with ease.
Speaking of your commute, did you know that these vehicles offer Apple CarPlay® integration? That’s right! Now you can finish up that client call while beating the rush-hour traffic. Simply connect your compatible smartphone for hands-free calls, texts, and much more.
Who doesn’t love a good road trip down US-45? While the distance may be far, it sure won’t feel like it inside of the Grand Cherokee, which offers heated and ventilated Nappa leather-trimmed front seats.
Kids won’t agree on which giant pool float to use on the waters of T.O. Fuller State Park? Bring them both, because the Grand Cherokee has 36.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row—slightly more than the 25.8 cubic feet of space seen inside the Cherokee.
While we’re discussing road trips, here’s a tip for keeping folks of all ages entertained during the drive: Add the optional Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System to your Grand Cherokee. This set includes 19 high-performance speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer for truly immersive sound.
The Jeep Cherokee does offer its own sound system—the Alpine® Premium Audio System—which comes with nine speakers and an 8-inch subwoofer.
Which category did you fall into? Are you a multitasking master, balancing between your downtown office and the carpool lane? Are you a rugged rider, instead, always planning your next exciting excursion?
