Jeep Cherokee vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Pricing
If affordability is your top priority, then you’ll want to go with the Cherokee. A comparison of the Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee price by trim level shows lower pricing across the entire Cherokee lineup. That makes it a sensible choice for budget-conscious Dunlap families. Still, off-road enthusiasts looking for heavy-duty capability on the trail might prefer the size and specs of the Grand Cherokee.
Jeep Cherokee vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee: Engines and Capability
Bartonville drivers looking for an off-road-ready ready SUV will love the Cherokee Trailhawk® trim that can tow up to 2,000 pounds. For most Galesburg families, that’s plenty for pulling a small boat or trailer. The 2021 Cherokee also has a significant advantage in fuel economy with a remarkable 22 mpg in the city and 31 miles on the highway.
The Grand Cherokee makes up in power for what it lacks in fuel efficiency. The entry-level Laredo E can tow up to 3,500 pounds, and you can tow up to 7,200 pounds with the SRT® and Trackhawk trims. Compare the Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee engine specs below:
