Performance
The Jeep Grand Cherokee comes equipped with multiple robust powertrains, including a 293-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine, a 357-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 engine, and a 375-horsepower plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain.

Feel the power for yourself in the Plainfield, NJ area today.
The GMC Acadia comes with similar powertrain options, but it is missing one crucial piece: a V8 engine choice. Instead, it features a 228-horsepower 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 310-horsepoewr 3.6-liter V6 engine. It also doesn’t have a hybrid option, making it a less versatile choice than its competitor.
Interior Space
When you take the Jeep Grand Cherokee on your next adventure, you won’t have to leave anything – or anyone – behind. This car boasts ample cabin space, with 39.9 inches of front headroom, 41.3 inches of legroom, and a whopping 70.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear row folded. In addition, the Jeep Grand Cherokee comes with a towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds.
The cabin and cargo areas of the GMC Acadia are roughly the same as its competitor, but its towing capacity is way smaller, coming in at only 4,000 pounds. Given this, when drive the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you’ll be able to haul way more of your belongings.
