Fuel-Saver

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not have the former models’ ultra-efficient diesel engine yet, but you can still be at peace because it does have decent gas mileage. Highway driving averages up to 26 mpg with a V6 engine. Running on the V8 engine models will give you a fuel efficiency of about 14 mpg in the city.

Safety Features

The 3-star rollover rating given by the NHTSA could better. Despite this flow, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a safe vehicle.

The Grand Cherokee comes with a backup camera and accident-avoidance devices like an automatic emergency brake, blind-spot monitoring, and warning lane departure.

City driving can be more exciting using the automated parking system of the Grand Cherokee. This makes parallel parking an absolute breeze.

Entertainment Features

The new Grand Cherokee is equipped with the latest technology. The Uconnect infotainment system is the highlight of this Jeep. Anyone who will ride in this Jeep will enjoy using the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto touchscreen interface. The upgraded versions are equipped with 8.4-inch touchscreen navigation which is bigger than standard 7-inch model.

The Harman Kardon premium audio system will surely be a hit for all music fans because it is packed with 19 speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer for even better bass. Most people who tried it loved the overall sound quality of the system.

The rear entertainment system is made specifically for the kids because they can enjoy long trips while watching movies and playing video games. To help prevent bickering over the system, dual screens are used.

How Is It Against Its Competitors (Same Class)

Grand Cherokee vs Subaru Outback

2020 Subaru Outback is nearly as good as the Grand Cherokee in terms of off-roading and fuel efficiency. The main difference is that the Outback’s styling looks dull and boring compared to the Grand Cherokee. Its towing capacity is also lower than the Grand Cherokee.

Grand Cherokee vs Toyota 4Runner

Both of these SUVs are made for off-roading and they compare favorably in this regard. The Grand Cherokee performs better with street driving which is why we give it an edge over the 4Runner.

Another edge for the Grand Cherokee is fuel efficiency. In terms of seating capacity, 4Runner can accommodate up to five people yet the back row’s legroom is not as spacious.

Conclusion

The all-new 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is an incredible sport utility vehicle. There are so many pros and barely any cons. Whether you want this vehicle for off-roading or street driving, you will surely be impressed by what Jeep offers. The low price and incredible styling make this SUV a must buy.
