The 2020 Dodge Durango and
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee are two of today's most impressive options in
the SUV class. They both offer powerful engines, comfort, spacious
interiors, and an array of exciting technology, but which one will work
better for your needs and lifestyle?
Drivers in St. Albans, Chittenden County, and South Burlington, Vermont, can learn more about these exceptional SUVs by checking out the 2020 Dodge Durango vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee comparison our Goss Dodge Chrysler team has made for you!
Dodge Durango vs Jeep Grand Cherokee: Performance
Jump inside either of these SUVs and enjoy exhilarating performance, thanks to their robust engine options. In both models, the standard engine is the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.
A
leap in power is provided by the available 6.4L V8 engine that releases
475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque that you can also get with
either the Grand Cherokee or Durango.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn't stop there, either. Also available in this SUV is a Supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that generates an impressive 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This is able to get the Grand Cherokee to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.5 seconds.
While there is more available power under the hood of the Jeep Grand Cherokee that gives you extremely fast acceleration, the Dodge Durango has stronger capabilities. The 2020 Grand Cherokee is able to tow up to 7,200 pounds, which might be plenty for your trailer or boat. If you have a larger boat or equipment, though, the 2020 Durango has a maximum towing capacity of 8,700 pounds.
Dodge Durango vs Jeep Grand Cherokee: Interior
The
Durango and the Grand Cherokee have well-appointed interiors with
soft-touch materials and high-end accents. Both share comfortable,
supportive seating that give passengers more than enough space to
stretch out and relax.
Within each SUV, there is an identical amount of headroom in the front seats as well as the same amount of legroom in each of their back rows. The main difference in space will be when carrying extra cargo in your SUV.
If you frequently travel with bigger gear, you will have an easier time fitting it all in the Dodge Durango. That is because with the rear seats folded down, it offers 84.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. With the seats folded down in the Grand Cherokee, you'll have a maximum storage capacity of 68.3 cubic feet.
Dodge Durango vs Jeep Grand Cherokee: Safety Technology
Each
of these vehicles are equipped to give you safe driving in all the
different situations you may face. During inclement weather, they can
help keep your visibility at it's best and you in control over slippery
road conditions. They even have systems that keep everything stable
while towing.
Driver-assistive features are also found in both SUVs. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, standard with the Jeep Grand Cherokee and available in the Dodge Durango, keeps you aware of your surroundings for more confidence when you are backing up or changing lanes.
To get even more of the most advanced safety features, the 2020 Grand Cherokee also has available packages you can get like the Advanced ProTech II package. This package features Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist that will be able to safely steer you into open spots.
