Comparison Between Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota 4Runner at AutoNation Chrysler Jeep Broadway

If you're in the market for a midsize SUV that's ready for anything, there are just a few good choices--and the two best contenders are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Toyota 4Runner. But which of these is the better choice? Which one has the power, versatility, safety, and comfort that you need? Read on to find out more.

Jeep Grand Cherokee VS Toyota 4Runner: Performance Information

The engine is a large part of what makes an SUV powerful, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers. All trim levels come with a 3.6L V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque; the Toyota 4Runner, on the other hand, comes with a 4L V6 engine that only produces 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. That engine is the only one available for the 4Runner, but the Grand Cherokee's standard engine is only the beginning: additional engines are also available, including an efficient 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel engine (240 horsepower, 420 pound-feet of torque) and a 5.7L V8 HEMI engine (360 horsepower, 390 pound-feet of torque). If you're looking for ultimate power, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT comes with a 6.4L V8 HEMI engine that can produce an astounding 470 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. And despite being more powerful, the standard V6 engine of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is also more efficient than its counterpart on the 4Runner: while the Toyota 4Runner gets a maximum of 22 highway mpg, the Jeep Grand Cherokee gets up to 25 highway mpg. Moreover, four-wheel drive is a much cheaper option on the Grand Cherokee--in fact, the most basic four-wheel drive Jeep Grand Cherokee trim level is still cheaper than the most basic two-wheel drive Toyota 4Runner trim level. When you're looking for the vehicle with more power, a better selection of engines, and more capability, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the best choice, hands down.

Jeep Grand Cherokee VS Toyota 4Runner: Safety Information

The Toyota 4Runner is a safe vehicle; it comes with features like vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, smart stop, seatbelts, and airbags--standard for most Toyota vehicles. The Grand Cherokee, however, has safety features that match its performance. Traction control or 4-wheel traction control, active head restraints, advanced airbags, three-point seatbelts, child seat anchor system and upper tether anchorages, electronic stability control, enhanced accident response system, front passenger seat belt alert, hill start assist, rain brake support, ready alert braking, and trailer sway damping are standard features on even the lowest trim level. As you move up to higher trim levels, you can take advantage of even more advanced safety features, like adaptive cruise control, blind spot and rear cross path detection, electronic limited-slip rear differential, hill descent control, ParkSense park assist system, ParkView rear back-up camera, and forward collision warning with crash mitigation. Both vehicles take important steps to keep you safe, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee goes above and beyond.

Jeep Grand Cherokee VS Toyota 4Runner: Interior and Amenities

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is cheaper than the Toyota 4Runner, yet it has incredible safety features and engines that outperform that of the 4Runner, so you'd expect the interior of the 4Runner to be superior to justify the increased price. This is not the case. The Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with a number of standard and optional features that outclass those of the 4Runner. For example, only one trim level of the 4Runner comes with dual zone automatic climate control--the others come with standard air conditioning. All trim levels of the Jeep Grand Cherokee come with dual zone automatic temperature control. The range of audio options is better in the Grand Cherokee, as well: from a six-speaker audio system all the way to nineteen premium speakers, including subwoofer. The interior materials of the Grand Cherokee are high quality, no matter which ones you choose--from cloth all the way to high performance Laguna leather. When you drive the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you're driving a vehicle that's incredibly comfortable and convenient.
