Edmunds compares Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee L

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 14:04 · Archive

Edmunds tested the muscle-focused Dodge Durango and family-oriented Jeep Grand Cherokee L, two similarly priced three-row SUVs.

Edmunds' auto experts tested the Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee L, two three-row SUVs that share corporate roots and similar pricing but appeal to different buyers. The Durango adopts an extroverted, muscle-focused design with a prominent chin, bright paint colours and hood scoop, with a standard V8 engine on every 2027 model. The Grand Cherokee L, a longer version of the Grand Cherokee, takes Jeep's off-road reputation and recasts it as a modern family hauler.

Both vehicles seat up to seven passengers, but differ in comfort and layout. The Jeep is about 4 inches longer and 2 inches wider, creating more elbow and legroom overall. The Durango claims more third-row legroom on paper, but its fixed second-row seats and low-mounted third row create a cramped environment. The Jeep's sliding second row eases access to the third row and provides substantial legroom there. Edmunds found the Grand Cherokee has a smoother ride over bumps and more comfortable front seats for long drives.

Surprisingly, the Grand Cherokee's size advantage does not translate to greater cargo capacity. Both vehicles offer identical 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, and similar space with the second and third rows folded down.
