In the mid-size SUV segment, two of
the most popular choices are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Edge. Both offer
drivers a variety of features to choose from. We'll compare the two to show you
why the Grand Cherokee is the superior choice.
Power
If you are looking for power in your
next SUV, the Grand Cherokee has what you need. It has four engine options to
choose from, including a 3.6-liter V6 rated at 295 horsepower, a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel
V6 (late availability) which makes 240 horsepower, a 360-horsepower 5.7-liter
V8, and a high-performance 475-horespower 6.4-liter V8 in the SRT model.
The Edge only offers three engines: a
245-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.5-liter V6 rated at
280 horsepower, and a turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 rated at 315 horsepower.
Off-Road Capabilities
When your adventures take you off the
beaten path, a Jeep will be your best companion. The Grand Cherokee has
numerous available features that will make hitting the dirt easy and fun, most
notably, its available four-wheel drive system. Other options include ski
plates, tow hooks, a two-speed transfer case, hill descent control, and other.
The Edge, on the other hand, has
available all-wheel drive, buy beyond that won't be very capable off-road.
Technology
Modern drivers want modern features
and both SUVs come with them, but the Grand Cherokee has more premium features
available. If you love hearing your music the way it was intended, the Jeep
Grand Cherokee has an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. This is
a huge step above the Edge's available Sony system, which only includes 12
speakers.
Buyers will also love the Grand
Cherokee's Uconnect system, which is one of the most highly-rated infotainment
systems in the industry.
