When you’re taking on Mother Nature, you want to be confident. With the help of the Jeep and the Chevy, you can be a cool cat on any terrain.
As a Jeep, the Grand Cherokee was built for adventure. This model is equipped with several state-of-the-art adventuring features designed to take you wherever you want to go. For starters, you’ll have not one but three available 4×4 systems to choose from, including the Quadra Drive® II 4×4 system.
In the Traverse, you’ll have just one available all-wheel drive system, which isn’t quite as rugged as a 4×4 system.
The 2023 Grand Cherokee doesn’t stop there, though. This model can also be equipped with the optional Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System with five selectable drive modes: Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand.
The Chevy Traverse comes standard with a Driver Mode Selector; however, it only has four modes.
Want to elevate your next adventure? With the might and the willpower of the Grand Cherokee and the Traverse, anything is possible. Both models have the strength to forge through unsettled terrain; however, the added capabilities of the Jeep will help you move mountains too.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has three available engines:
- 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine: 293 horsepower
- Available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine: 357 horsepower
- Available 2.0L Plug-In Hybrid engine: 375 horsepower
Although the Chevy Traverse only has one 3.6L V6 engine, it manages to keep up with the Jeep’s higher engine configurations thanks to its 310-horsepower output. However, you can achieve quicker acceleration and more pulling power with the Grand Cherokee.
The Grand Cherokee and the Traverse are mighty SUVs, and when properly equipped, they can even tug along water skis, a pop-up camper, a small fishing boat, you name it. However, when it comes to maximum towing capacity, the Jeep will be able to tow more overall.
When properly equipped, the Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds. However, if you need additional pulling power, the Grand Cherokee can tow up to 7,200 pounds! An extra 2,200 pounds opens even more towing opportunities for adventurers like you.
Your time behind the wheel should be serene. You should feel at peace knowing your cargo is safely nestled in the trunk and that your loved ones are just a call away. When it’s time for some on-road “me time,” the Jeep and the Chevy deliver.
Inside the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Chevy Traverse, you’ll find ample cargo space for your camping gear, the kids’ sports equipment, or supplies for your next DIY home improvement project. Additionally, both models come equipped with an intuitive infotainment system that can keep you connected no matter where you’re heading.
When you stream your audio via standard Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ in the Grand Cherokee, you’re going to get a whole new experience thanks to the available 19-speaker premium McIntosh® sound system.
You’ll get the same kind of smartphone integration capability in the Chevy Traverse. However, your music, audiobooks, and podcasts won’t sound the same through the Traverse’s available 10-speaker Bose® premium audio system.
