Jeep Cherokee vs Jeep Grand Cherokee Tunkhannock PA

So, you’re planning to buy a small family SUV. Congratulations! There are many reasons a Jeep could fit your needs, but one size doesn’t fit all. At Tunkhannock Auto Mart, you can check our range of vehicles, including the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

For the hopeful SUV owner of Tunkhannock, Dallas, Harveys Lake, or Kingston, PA, let’s pop open the hood and look over some choices!

What Can the Jeeps Deliver?

Jeep Cherokee Red Both SUVs deliver quality off-road performances with Jeep’s available Trail Rated® capabilities. These ratings are focused on the following:

Traction
Water fording
Maneuverability
Articulation
Ground clearance

For camping at the lakeside or treks into the mountains, you’ll be set with either Jeep. They both also come with all-season tires and optional technology upgrades to enhance the off-road experience.

Let’s Look Inside

As expected, the Grand Cherokee is the larger vehicle, with the Cherokee just a few inches smaller:

	Jeep Cherokee	Jeep Grand Cherokee
Length	182.0 inches	189.8 inches
Width	73.2 inches	76.5 inches
Height	65.7 inches	69.3 inches

Despite this, the Cherokee has more passenger volume. Both SUVs seat five, but the Grand Cherokee has a passenger volume of 105 cubic feet. Meanwhile, the Cherokee contains 128 cubic feet of passenger volume, affording more elbow room.

Towing and Cargo Space

As for cargo space, the Grand Cherokee has a maximum volume of 68.3 cubic feet, while the Cherokee possesses 54.7 cubic feet. Both have towing capacities in case you need to bring even more along.

The Cherokee can tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped. Meanwhile, the Grand Cherokee’s maximum towing capacity can clock in up to 7,200 pounds when properly configured for the heavy-duty camper’s needs.

The Grand Cherokee’s extra towing capacity is partially due to its three available engines, all V8s. To achieve the maximum towing capacity in the Cherokee, you need to equip its available 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine.

But Does it Have Wi-Fi?

When it comes to technology, both have the optional Uconnect® 4C NAV system, which comes with an 8.4-inch touchscreen. For your convenience, they also offer the optional SiriusXM Guardian^TM with benefits that include:

Remote vehicle start lets you turn the car on to allow the engine to run/adjust the temperature before even stepping out of the house.
Vehicle health report is a monthly update on vehicle systems for easy maintenance.
Send & Go allows you to use the navigation features to find locations and display them on the touchscreen.
SOS Call for roadside assistance

Both Jeeps have an optional 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot that can connect up to eight devices at a time. However, when it comes to interior comfort, the Grand Cherokee Cherokee has a few more offerings, including an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System.
