2021 Toyota 4Runner vs 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Advantages of the 2021 Toyota 4Runner over the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is clearly the more powerful option of the two SUVs. It also offers an optional V-8 engine that produces 357 horsepower.  That said, the 4Runner aims at offering a subtle and friendly driving aesthetic to its customers. And if one wants to get into the technical aspects, the power-to-weight ratio advantage that the 4Runner has gives it a slight advantage over the Grand Cherokee. Also, a 9.0-inch ground clearance proves beneficial for off-roading and gives it a small push over the Grand Cherokee.

Talking about features, the 4Runner excels in this aspect with a wide range of standard features on offer.  This includes Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth connectivity, and Wi-Fi connectivity, to name some of the many features. The Grand Cherokee does not manage to offer as many features as the 4Runner, and this gives the 4Runner a slight advantage. The Grand Cherokee manages to outweigh the 4Runner with its luxurious upholstery offering compared to the 4Runner. However, the 4Runner excels in the practicality aspect thanks to its ease of maintenance.

Safety is never far away when you talk about a Toyota vehicle, and the 4Runner certainly tops the charts. The 4Runner comes with a wide range of standard safety features offered across all trims such as Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P), Star Safety System™, Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS), Rear Occupancy Alert, and Side-impact door beams. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee also has a good number of safety features on offer. However, it doesn’t come close to the 4Runner. This makes the 4Runner an all-around SUV.
