Jeep Grand Cherokee vs GMC Terrain: Performance Capabilities
Most likely, if you're looking for an SUV, you're looking for something that can take you wherever you need to go with few limitations. The available 6.2L V8 engine of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is something that the GMC Terrain just can't beat. With the Grand Cherokee's ability to reach 707 horsepower, the Terrain falls short with its available 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that gets up to just 252 horsepower.
With great power comes great responsibility. The same can be said when discussing performance between the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the GMC Terrain. One might say that with great horsepower comes great towing responsibility.
When properly equipped, the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is able to tow up to 7,200 pounds. Plus, with the proven 4X4 system and available Quadra-Lift® Suspension System, you're able to take your trailer on any road, even the ones that don't exist.
The GMC Terrain, which has no extra off-roading features and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, just can't keep up with the quality performance of the Grand Cherokee.
2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs GMC Terrain: Interior
The Jeep Grand Cherokee aims to keep you entertained and comfortable throughout your journey with both standard and available interior options. While both vehicles come with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, what really makes the Grand Cherokee stand out is the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System. This system gives you the ability to have a concert in your car every day.
With 19 high-performance speakers that are placed strategically in the cabin, plus a 10-inch subwoofer, you and your passengers will be treated to an immersive sound experience unlike any other. Why choose the Terrain, which only has seven speakers, when you can get 19 with the Grand Cherokee?
If you're looking for a luxurious experience inside your SUV on top of a premium entertainment experience, Jeep has GMC beat yet again. In addition to the premium audio system and available heated and ventilated front seats, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has optional exotic open-pore wood trim and anodized metal accents, taking that luxurious look and feel one step further.
Only having available soft-material and aluminum trim, the GMC Terrain cannot compete with the Jeep's deluxe interior.
Grand Cherokee vs Terrain: Safety Features
With more and more distractions every day, the need for state-of-the-art safety features is a must. Unfortunately for GMC Terrain drivers, you'll have to pay for any additional safety features. Why should you have to pay extra to assure you and your family's safety when you can get standard safety features like the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system, ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera, ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System, and more in the Jeep Grand Cherokee?
For instance, the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System of the Grand Cherokee uses sensors located at the rear of your vehicle and alerts you if you're too close to an obstacle. Taking it a step further, this feature will also automatically stop your vehicle if an object is detected in your path while driving at low speeds.
Equipped with more than 70 standard and available safety and security technologies, in terms of the Jeep Grand Cherokee vs GMC Terrain, the Grand Cherokee pushes past the Terrain.
