Performance sets the tone for your ride and can help you get the most out of the vehicle you choose. If you’ve got places to go and people to see, you’ll want to find something that offers plenty of power. Fortunately, both SUVs deliver.
Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Kia Telluride offer standard V6 engines that provide around 290 horsepower. So, with either option, you’ll be able to achieve hair-raising acceleration. However, that’s the only powertrain available for the Telluride. The Grand Cherokee L, on the other hand, also offers a 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with 357 horsepower and a plug-in hybrid powertrain capable of 375 horsepower.
If what you’re looking for is strength, you can depend on the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. When properly equipped, the Jeep can tow up to 7,200 pounds. On the other hand, the Kia Telluride can tow up to 5,000 pounds. So, if you have a heavier camper or boat to take along on your next adventure, the Grand Cherokee L can take it wherever you need to go.
Another aspect of performance that drivers love is quality gas mileage and fuel economy. This helps you keep going on longer trips while making fewer stops at the pump.
Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Kia Telluride offer about the same amount of fuel efficiency, meaning no matter which vehicle you choose, you’ll have the capability to get there. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 city/26 highway MPG, and the Telluride offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 20 city/26 highway MPG, making them equally adept at handling the open road. Beyond this, there’s one more important factor to consider when it comes to fuel efficiency.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a larger fuel tank capacity, at 23 gallons, compared to the Kia Telluride’s tank that holds just 18.8 gallons. This means you’ll be able travel farther and longer in the Grand Cherokee L without having to stop as often to refuel.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Kia Telluride both offer the ability to go off-road. However, their equipped systems differ, with one having a more advanced system capable of going nearly anywhere.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers an available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, which allows you to select a drive mode that fits your current situation. These modes include Auto, Sport, Rock, Snow, and Mud/Sand.
The Kia Telluride can provide all-wheel drive capabilities and Drive Mode Select; however, this drive select system goes without comparable Rock and Mud/Sand modes that will help you navigate the road once it transitions from pavement to dirt. This gives the Jeep Grand Cherokee L a leg up on the competition when it comes to off-road performance.
As you can see, both the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Kia Telluride are quality SUVs that provide the features you need for successful driving in Richmond, New Baltimore, and Detroit, MI.
