SEATING AND CARGO CAPACITY

Jeep Grand Cherokee 2-row models offer an impressive 70.8 cubic feet of cargo room while Grand Cherokee L (3-row) offers 84.6 cubic feet of cargo room when the second- and third-row seats are folded down. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers the most cargo volume for standard and long wheelbase models in its class—with the long wheelbase adding an additional 15.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row to create the most rear cargo volume in its class.

CAPABILITY

Looking for adventure? Select Jeep® Recon, Jeep Compass, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Gladiator, and Jeep Wrangler models are stamped with the Trail Rated® badge. It signifies that these vehicles have passed maneuverability, articulation, traction, ground clearance and water-fording tests on the most challenging terrain. Plus, Jeep Brand off-road SUVs are just as good at handling bad weather conditions on paved roads as they are handling off-road conditions.

PERFORMANCE

If you regularly drive long distances, an SUV that prioritizes efficiency, like the Jeep® Compass, is for you. If you want to tow equipment like a boat or trailer, you’ve got options. The Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds, and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. More generally, when comparing SUV engines, look for horsepower, torque and fuel economy numbers to find what’s right for you.

SUV FAQ

While there’s no concrete definition, in general SUVs, or Sport Utility Vehicles, combine off-roading features and greater passenger capacity, depending on the size of the SUV. Their off-roading capabilities, including four-wheel drive and traction control, make them suitable not just for rocky off-road trails but for winter driving on snowy or icy roads.

Sitting higher on the road than standard passenger cars, SUVs offer excellent visibility and a sense of security when driving. They feature generous seating capacity and lots of room for cargo, with many including plenty of storage options throughout the cabin. Many SUVs boast excellent efficiency, along with impressive engine performance to help you tow boats, campers and more.
