Performance

Jeep vehicles are built for adventure, so it’s no surprise that the Jeep Grand Cherokee specs deliver the top-notch performance that Libertyville and Crystal Lake drivers want. The Grand Cherokee packs a 3.5L V6 under the hood with 295 hp, while the mild-mannered Toyota Highlander was built with a 2.7L 4-cylinder with only 185 hp. As for the optional powertrain configurations, the Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 and Toyota Highlander V6 are hardly on the same page. Check out the results below from Motor Trend.
