Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs Hyundai Palisade

Performance and Engine Options

The Hyundai Palisade has one standard engine across all four of its trims. The 3.8 6-cylinder engine generates 291 horsepower and works with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. You’ll also have the option of Front Wheel Drive or HTRAC All Wheel Drive.

On the other hand, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L has two engine options, offering more versatility when you choose your model. The standard 3.6L Pentastar^® V6 engine delivers 293 horsepower, outdoing the Palisade right from the get-go.

The other engine option is an available 5.7L V8 engine with a whopping 357 horsepower. Both engines also have 4x2 or 4x4 capability, so you can get the traction you need on or off the beaten path.

Seating Inside the Cabin

The Palisade and the Grand Cherokee L have space for the whole family. They each seat up to seven riders without feeling like everyone is crammed in.

Both SUVs have standard cloth seats with the option to upgrade to leather-trimmed seats. Heated front seats are available for both SUVs as well.

The Grand Cherokee L has added luxury with open-pore wood trim and quilted leather seats. In fact, the front seats of the Grand Cherokee L can be upgraded to include massage functionality. Your front-seat passenger can relax while you drive and have a massaging seat take away your fatigue.

Technology Features

Technology is a big part of the Palisade and the Grand Cherokee L. Each model offers its own standard infotainment system with a large touchscreen that lets you stream music, play your favorite podcast, or get directions.

The Palisade’s touchscreen reaches over 10 inches as does the Grand Cherokee L’s. However, the Grand Cherokee L pulls away from the Palisade with the additional technology in its cabin.

The front-seat passenger inside the Grand Cherokee L gets their touchscreen to help copilot. They can input directions into their own 10.25-inch touchscreen, change the music, and more.

Second-row passengers can be kept occupied with the available dual 10.1-inch rear-seat entertainment displays with Amazon Fire TV. The kids can enjoy video games, movies, and music while you focus on the road.
