If you’re shopping for a new ride and considering a midsize SUV, the 2021 Toyota 4Runner or 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee may be at the top of your list. While they are both popular among the Birmingham, Alabama area, we can’t help but brag on the loud and proud 2021 Toyota 4Runner. With ample amount of space and legroom, a multitude of standard features, and a powerful performance, this vehicle is simply unbeatable. Although, it’s no secret the Jeep Grand Cherokee is desirable among the community. Can the 4Runner surpass the Jeep Grand Cherokee? It sure can. Let’s compare the specs to find out.
Obviously, if you’re shopping for a SUV, you are looking for a substantial amount of space, so go big or go home with the 2021 Toyota 4Runner. While the 4Runner has 88.8 cubic-ft of space, the Grand Cherokee certainly falls behind with 68.3 cubic-ft of space. Think about all of the extra items you could bring along with the extra 20 cubic-ft of space. Not to mention, your passengers will love the ride, as the 2021 4Runner comes standard with bucket seats, while the 2021 Grand Cherokee offers them at a pricy upgrade. Also, while the 4Runner comes standard with seating for five, just as the Grand Cherokee, the 4Runner has an available seven-seater configuration. While some features may seem customizable in the Grand Cherokee to meet the 4Runner’s high standards, remember, you simply can’t upgrade space.
The 2021 4Runner overpowers the 2021 Grand Cherokee’s various engine options with the practicality of a base V6 4.0-liter engine. While the Grand Cherokee is luxurious on the outside, it may have trouble keeping up with the 4Runner’s off-roading capabilities. You see, when you’re traveling up and down highway 280 or around downtown, the 2021 4Runner puts the pedal to the metal, just as it does when you take it on your off-road adventures, while the Grand Cherokee’s focus on luxury may fall short. Not to mention, the 4Runner’s torque power triumphs the Grand Cherokee, with 270 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque.
Toyota’s number one priority, next to happy customers, is to keep passengers safe at all times, which is why the 2021 4Runner has a multitude of standard driving assistance features. Including forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control all in the base model, this SUV is a steal for the value you’re receiving. On the other hand, the 2021 Grand Cherokee has automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control only available at an upgraded price tag.
While both the 2021 4Runner and 2021 Grand Cherokee are desirable SUVS, it’s no secret the 4Runner is the better value, as you receive many more standard features. Also, if you are looking for an off-roading equipped SUV, the 4Runner can handle any conditions you throw its way, while the Grand Cherokee has a luxury approach.
