Utility
The typical SUV will definitely prove handier than the Jeep Grand Cherokee for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The typical SUV is a better choice than the Jeep Grand Cherokee as far as transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of gear or big animals. The Grand Cherokee outpulls the average SUV by a big margin.

Performance
With respect to horsepower, the Grand Cherokee packs quite a wallop and will knock the average SUV down a few rungs. On the flip side, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Jeep Grand Cherokee's tank is approximately the same size as the typical SUV's, though the typical SUV's is slightly larger. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and the typical SUV compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
The Jeep Grand Cherokee's fuel tank will need to be replenished a bit more often than the unit in the typical SUV.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Jeep Grand Cherokee to the dealership as the typical SUV. With respect to gas mileage, the average SUV is a tad better than the Grand Cherokee, but not by much. Producing an accurate fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the typical SUV and the typical SUV perform roughly similarly regarding fuel economy. When it comes to MSRP, the typical SUV costs approximately as much as the Jeep Grand Cherokee (though the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a tad cheaper).

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the typical SUV likely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The typical SUV's engine isn't much larger than the Jeep Grand Cherokee's. The Grand Cherokee could learn a lesson or two from the typical SUV with respect to pickup.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the typical SUV offers a bit more head room than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the average SUV offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Grand Cherokee isn't quite as generous as the average SUV's.
