The Grand Cherokee L Vs Dodge Durango

Differences

The obvious difference is the exterior and look they each give off. The Dodge Durango gives off a sporty and aggressive look, while the Grand Cherokee L portrays a luxurious look. One major thing to note is the Dodge Durango hasn't been heavily updated in a while and the Grand Cherokee L is a new built model with many new features and add-ons which explains why the standard models have more updates than the Durango models. On standard vehicles they both offer similar features, but there are some that are standard to Grand Cherokee L , but would be an add on to the Dodge Durango models. For example, a 10.1 inch display screen comes with all standard features on Grand Cherokee L models, but not standard to Dodge Durangos unless it's added on. The passenger seating for the Grand Cherokee L offers 12 way positioning options with a massage function included, while the Dodge Durango only offers 8 way reclining positions. The Dodge Durango does offer a bigger engine and towing power that the Grand Cherokee L does not. An option Dodge offers is 6.4 L V8 engine, with Jeep having the biggest engine of only a 5.4 L V8. This explains why the Durango has more towing power as it can range from 6,200-8700 lbs depending on the options you choose. While they both offer the same seating, the amount of leg room is different, especially in the third row. Jeep offers spacious leg room in the third row, where even adults can sit there comfortably. Safety features that are offered as a standard in Grand Cherokees L, but optional on the Durango are the lane departure warning and the lane keeping assistant. These are some key differences between models that can lead you to making the right choice between the two.
