What's the Difference: Dodge Durango vs Jeep Grand Cherokee

Dodge Durango vs Jeep Grand Cherokee

Midsize SUVs like the Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee are popular options for Columbus families on the go.

Thanks to spacious interiors that offer third-row seating with plenty of headroom, legroom, and ample cargo space, both the Durango and Grand Cherokee are great options for taking the kids to a Columbus Chatt-a-Hoots game or going on a road trip to Black Rock Mountain State Park for a day of adventure. Each model has several powerful engine options, including HEMI® power on certain Durango models and plug-in hybrid power on the Grand Cherokee 4xe. Grand Cherokee models are more suited for off-road adventures due to high ground clearance and several world-class 4x4 systems.

Overall, the Durango offers a family-friendly package with more passenger space and 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space along with some seriously thrilling high-horsepower HEMI® V8 engine options in SRT® Hellcat models. On the other hand, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a more luxury-focused package with both two-row and three-row configurations (Jeep Grand Cherokee L), but the overall cargo space is still less than the larger Durango.
