Have you been looking for a do-it-all SUV? You’ve got two great options in the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. Both of these SUVs come ready to provide capable performances across the board, offering versatile powertrains, spacious interiors, and plenty of technology.

Ready to see if either of these SUVs could fit your Clarkston, Clio, Lapeer, and Lake Orion, Michigan, area lifestyle? Check out this Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Dodge Durango comparison from our team here at Feldman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) of Clarkston.

Quite Capable Under the Hood

---

In evaluating the powertrains on both the Grand Cherokee and Durango, you will find both offer capable performances. In fact, both come with the same setup – a 3.6L V6 engine. As you’d expect, these engines offer you very similar outputs, coming ready to pump out 293 horsepower while earning an EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway MPG.

Similarly, you will find both the Jeep and the Dodge offer available All-Wheel Drive. This could prove quite important in Michigan, providing great traction whether you’re adventuring at the lake in the summer, or a winter snowstorm rolls in months later.

In exploring the Grand Cherokee, though, you will find it is especially versatile with its available Trail Rated® Badge. On certain Grand Cherokee models, like the Trailhawk, this badge signifies excellence in a number of off-road categories. Unfortunately, the Dodge cannot match this level of off-road capability.

Room for Comfort and Cargo Inside the Grand Cherokee and Durango

Interior space is another important area to evaluate when considering your SUV options. Looking at passenger volume, you will find the Jeep is a bit bigger. While the Grand Cherokee offers 145 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Durango measures in with 141 cubic feet of passenger volume. While this difference may appear slight, it will weigh heavily when it comes to headroom, legroom, and other dimensions.

In terms of cargo space, you will find again that the Grand Cherokee offers more space – by a wide margin, too. The Grand Cherokee measures in with 37.7 cubic feet of cargo volume, while the Durango offers just 17.2 cubic feet of cargo volume. So, you will be able to store much, much more inside the cabin of the Grand Cherokee.

A Connected and Secure Driving Experience

---

Whether you get behind the wheel of the Jeep SUV or the Dodge, you will find that you have plenty of technology at your fingertips. In terms of connectivity, you will find both vehicles come with a Uconnect® 5 multimedia system. Through this system, you will have access to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, able to easily integrate your cellphone on the go.

Technology does not just include entertainment, though. It also includes safety, where the Grand Cherokee will excel with its driver assistive features. Take the standard Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus feature, for example, which does not come standard on the Dodge.
