Whether you stick to the main roads of Norwich, CT or you venture a little off the beaten path, the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee is up for anything, and the team at Falvey's Motors, Inc. can introduce you. A versatile model with plenty to offer drivers of all personalities and lifestyles, the Grand Cherokee is a favorite model in our new vehicle inventory that stands out next to the competition.
In a sea of similarly looking four-door SUVs, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-sized model with signature Jeep brand characteristics that drivers love, including its iconic vertical-slot front grille, rugged off-road performance, and elevated ground clearance. Other SUVs try to keep up with the Jeep brand in all areas of performance, comfort, tech, and safety, but ours comes out ahead every time.
Whether you've been cruising around Connecticut in a Jeep Grand Cherokee for years, or you're just considering your first purchase today, we want to help you get to know the 2023 a little better. We specialize in delivering some of the most world-renowned brands and models at our conveniently located dealership, and we're here to guide you through every step of upgrading to a new Jeep Grand Cherokee.
To help you get to know this impressive SUV a little better, we've pit it side by side against a similar-sized option from another brand. Read on to discover some of the ways that the Grand Cherokee easily comes out ahead of the Toyota Highlander.
2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. 2023 Toyota Highlander
Both of these popular SUVs hail from renowned brand names that are known for their quality and reliability. But only ours also comes from a brand that's known for producing off-road ready vehicles that are capable of tackling any terrain, and that's not the only area where they differ. Read on and learn more:
- Engines. Three engine options await the driver who wishes to personalize the Jeep Grand Cherokee, including a V6 gas engine, V8, and a plug-in hybrid. Meanwhile, the Toyota Highlander has fewer options, with one gas engine and one traditional hybrid available.
- Performance. As mentioned, within their respective lineups of powertrains, both SUVs have hybrid functionality available for those drivers who are looking for something that's smooth and efficient. But the Jeep Grand Cherokee goes above and beyond with its hybrid option, a plug-in hybrid system that includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that works in conjunction with two electric motors to produce 375 horsepower and has a 26-mile electric-only driving range. The Highlander Hybrid is not a plug-in, which means it doesn't offer electric-only driving capabilities. It also only has a maximum of 243 horsepower.
- Interior. At first glance, the Toyota Highlander appears to have more to offer in terms of interior configuration. After all, it's a three-row model with extra seats. But when you look closer, as we have, you discover that the third row is nearly impossible for anyone to get comfortable in, except for small children. It offers only 27 inches of legroom. Plus, the third row cuts into cargo space in a big way, with the Highlander providing only 16 cubic feet of storage space, compared to nearly 38 cubic feet in the Grand Cherokee.
