Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Kia Telluride: Power Under the Hood

The first thing you start to think of when considering replacing your current SUV is will the new one hold up to how well the old one got all the kids to their out-of-town tournaments?

Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Kia Telluride have some serious power under the hood, but the Grand Cherokee does give you more options, including a Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV). Below is a chart outlining the specifications of each:

As you can see from the chart above, the Jeep Grand Cherokee certainly has the edge in terms of power, but seems to fall short when it comes to fuel economy. What you also have to take into account is that the Kia Telluride has an 18.8-gallon tank, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee has a 23-gallon tank, meaning you can get some extra miles in miles per gallon.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Kia Telluride: Comfort and Convenience

Now that you know you have enough power under the hood to get where you’re going, then it’s time to think about what’s going on inside the cabin—you have a soccer team to keep entertained on the way to regionals.

The Kia Telluride comes standard with three rows and seating for either seven or eight. If you don’t need that may seats, the Jeep Grand Cherokee comes in two models, a two row five seat or a three row seven seat.

When it comes to staying entertained, the Kia Telluride has a standard 6-speaker system or an available 10-speaker Harman Kardon® sounds system. On the other hand, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has three options: a standard 6-speaker, an available 9-speaker, or the available premium McIntosh® 19-speaker system with 10-inch subwoofer.

Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Kia Telluride: Safety on the Road

A powerful engine and an impressive sound system aren’t the only things to think about, though. The most important thing is to keep everyone safe all the way to the tournament and all the way back. Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Kia Telluride have impressive suites of standard safety features, including:

• Forward Collision Warning
• Lane Keeping Systems
• Rear View Parking Monitors

If you don’t like taking your eyes off the road for even a second as you drive, then you’ll want to choose a model with the available Head-Up Display. This feature projects important driver information straight onto the windshield for ease of access.

If you choose the Kia Telluride, then you’ll have to go with the highest trim level, the SX to get it, but the Jeep grand Cherokee offers this feature on the Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims.
