Grand Cherokee vs Acadia: Performance

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a better variety of engines and a better standard engine than the 2020 GMC Acadia. The standard engine for most Grand Cherokees is the 3.6L V6 engine with a 293-horsepower output. The standard engine for most Acadias is an inline 4-cylinder engine with only a 193-horsepower output.

The most powerful trim for the Jeep Grand Cherokee is the Trackhawk. It boasts a 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine with a thrilling 707-horsepower output. It can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 3.5 seconds.

Both SUVs are comfortable drives on city streets and highways. While the Acadia rides fine on uneven terrain, the Grand Cherokee performs much better. It’s considered one of the best off-road SUVs on the market. It offers 4x4 systems such as the Quadra-Trac® Active On-Demand 4x4 System as well as a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. On the other hand, while the Acadia does offer the option to upgrade to a 9-speed automatic transmission, it’s not even available on the base model! This gives the Jeep Grand Cherokee the edge for versatile driving.

Grand Cherokee vs Acadia: Interior and Cargo

Both the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2020 GMC Acadia have cloth seats with the option for leather upholstery. The Acadia can have three rows and can seat up to seven passengers. However, the third row has limited legroom, so adults seated there might feel cramped. The Cherokee has two rows and seats a maximum of five people. It makes up for less passenger capacity by providing plenty of legroom in both rows, which makes for a more comfortable ride, especially over long distances.

The Cherokee’s cargo space with the back row folded down is 68.3 cubic feet. The Acadia has slightly more room, but it can’t keep up when it comes to towing. If you need more hauling power for work or camping, the Cherokee can tow up to 7,200 lbs. when properly equipped. The Acadia can only tow up to 4,000 lbs.
