2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2019 Jeep Wrangler The entire Jeep brand is built around creating tough and powerful off-road models. However, which is the best out of all of them? For that, we look to the 2 top pinnacles of the Jeep catalog. Those are the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2019 Jeep Wrangler. more 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler Engine Options and  Power Output Starting with the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the standard engine is a 3.6L V6 engine. This produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. However, there are additional engine upgrade options for higher trim levels. Those include a 5.7L V8 with 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, a 6.4L V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, and a 6.2L supercharged V8 with 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. As for the 2019 Jeep Wrangler, the standard engine is also a 3.6L V6 engine. Here it offers a baseline 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. A turbocharged and more efficient 2L inline 4 engine with 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque is also available. So, as we are beginning to see, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is more concerned with power. It also has the advantage of passenger seating and cargo space. Meanwhile, the 2019 Jeep Wrangler will show itself to be the prime choice for an off-road adventure. The primary reason behind this is the dimensions and weight of the Wrangler over those of the Grand Cherokee. 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler Dimensions The dimensions of the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee are 189.9” x 84.8” x 70” (L x W x H).

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Kenosha WI The new Grand Cherokee is already a winner. How many times do you get a win right out of the gate? Although the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Kenosha WI hasn’t been out very long, it’s already been given a pretty significant award. The Grand Cherokee beat out the competition in the Cars.com/USA Today Midsize SUV Challenger recently. It’s bad news for the competition that is going to have to deal with this new 2014 Grand Cherokee for an entire model year now. more And this isn’t just any old competition by some no-name company trying to get a news story out there. These are experts from the respected Cars.com and USA Today that drove the six vehicles in the category. The tests themselves were pretty grueling as well, as the Grand Cherokee and its competitors were put through 200 miles of driving in all kinds of road conditions. And every one of the experts had a chance to try each vehicle to fully balance it out. There was one more part of the test as well. Every vehicle was evaluated to see how good it was for families by being driven…by an actual family. This was the part that seemed to really give the Grand Cherokee the street cred it needed to take the win in this competition. Even Jeep Brand CEO Mike Manley was impressed with this portion. “Winning this award is especially gratifying since the judges included a typical family of four, in addition to experts from three prestigious media outlets,” he said. But you don’t have to take our word – or even the word of the testing family of four. What we suggest is that you get over to Palmen Motors and try out the new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Kenosha WI for yourself. Bring your family – and let us know how it stacks up in your personal competition.
