Harr Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
If it’s time to upgrade to a larger SUV, consider the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs the Chevy Traverse. They’re the size and style you’ve been searching for around Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, Massachusetts—but which is the better choice?
Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) created this comparison for you and others, weighing the merits of both models. Use this as part of your research to see which SUV reigns supreme.
A choice of engines can be found with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine comes standard, and the 2.0L I4 Turbo PHEV engine (Grand Cherokee 4xe) is available. The 4xe’s combined system output is 375 horsepower with 470 lb-ft of torque, and it has an estimated 25 miles of all-electric range and about 56 MPGe.*
By comparison, the Chevy Traverse only offers one engine.
You want the maximum towing capacity when you’re looking to tow a boat or trailer full of bikes or DIY materials. Make sure that you check to see how much you plan to haul or how much your boat can hold. With the Jeep, towing varies by powertrain, up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, and is best in its class.
In the Grand Cherokee, you can get premium devices and features such as the upgraded Uconnect® 5-equipped 10.1-inch touchscreen (with available front passenger interactive display) and available 19-speaker McIntosh® premium audio.
At its best, the Traverse provides a very large available center screen, runs Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 Plus system, and offers capable driver displays. The best seat in the Traverse lineup is generally less configurable than the top Grand Cherokee seats (Traverse typically has an 8-way power driver seat standard, with more advanced adjustments/lumbar only on upper trims).
The Bose® premium audio system in the Traverse is a factory-offered premium system. However, this available 10-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System in the Chevy cannot put on as good a show as the 19-speaker McIntosh® upgraded audio system you can enjoy when you cruise around in a Jeep.
While both vehicles offer many of the standard safety systems you’ve come to expect, like Blind Spot Monitoring and Adaptive Cruise Control, the Jeep has a few unexpected others.
First, the Grand Cherokee gives you Drowsy Driver Detection and Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist. These systems can help you stay aware when you’re tired or distracted and expertly pull you into a snug space you may have dismissed before driving the Jeep.
With Night Vision features, you can stay aware of your surroundings after the sun’s gone down.
The Chevy Traverse includes an extensive standard safety suite (Chevy Safety Assist) with features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and Super Cruise™ on certain trims. However, features like Jeep’s available Night Vision and some of the Grand Cherokee’s higher-tier intersection/thermal-detection options are unique to select Grand Cherokee trims.
