Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Toyota Highlander

Which SUV Flexes More Power?

Power is the essence of an SUV. It enables quicker acceleration on city streets and offers the muscle to conquer the beaten pathways of Michigan.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee flexes power through three available engines. The option which presents the strongest blend of acceleration and muscle is the available 2.0L I4 DOHC DI Turbo PHEV engine. The powerful engine is a one-two punch that is an asset to adventure-ready drivers, with:

• Up to 375 horsepower
• Up to 470 lb-ft of torque

How does the Toyota Highlander measure up? It connects drivers with two available engines. Its strongest option is the 3.5L V6 engine that only generates up to 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee has more power than the Toyota Highlander. That means you’ll have a greater ability to forge a path to new destinations in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Which SUV Has a Higher Towing Capacity?

Power reaches beyond the rumble underneath the hood. The towing capacity is the practical application of an SUV’s power. Does the Grand Cherokee or the Highlander have the strength that drivers are searching for?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee towing capacity reaches up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. That’s enough to haul the tools you need for adventure, including:

• Boats
• Trailers
• ATVs
• Campers

The Toyota Highlander’s towing capacity only reaches 5,000 pounds. That means you’ll have more choices at your disposal when you plan a vacation in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Once you’ve established base camp, you’ll also be able to explore safely. The Jeep Grand Cherokee can ford up to 24 inches of water and over 11 inches of ground clearance can help you navigate the trails of Michigan.

Is the Grand Cherokee or the Highlander More Comfortable?

Both SUVs provide drivers with access to comfort when they’re driving home. Each model includes available amenities, like:

• Heated front seats
• Ventilated front seats
• Leather-trimmed seating
• 3-zone climate control

Heated front seats can keep you warm when a Michigan winter hits the area. The 3-zone climate control can help passengers and drivers feel at ease without debating the ideal temperature of the cabin.

The ultimate comfort, however, comes in the ideal listening experience. The Toyota Highlander maxes out with a sound system with 11 JBL® speakers.

You can feel at home when you listen to the groove of a 19-speaker McIntosh® sound system inside the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This premium audio system delivers an array of beats that soothe your soul like a massage. You can also dial up a playlist via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ integration, helping you set the tone for the ride.
