2024 Defender vs. 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Performance

When comparing the base trims of each model, the Defender has slightly more horsepower and torque than the Grand Cherokee, churning out 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque compared to the Grand Cherokee's 293 horsepower and 257 lb-ft.

The real gap in horsepower shows through as you ascend the trim lineup of each SUV, with the Defender V8 achieving a maximum mark of 518 horsepower, comfortably more than the 375 horsepower in the Trailhawk or Summit Reserve 4xe trims of the Grand Cherokee.

Standard Amenities

While both SUVs have a variety of technologies for convenience and driver assistance, the Defender offers many more standard features. A surround view camera, remote engine start, panoramic moonroof and a premium audio system are all standard in the Defender and only optional in the Grand Cherokee.

The Defender keeps convenience at the forefront with rain sensing windshield wipers (variable intermittent in the Grand Cherokee), as well as standard multi-level front heated seats and driver seat memory. You can also view new trim levels of the Defender 90, 110, 130 to learn more about the available and upgradable features.
