Check it out if you'd like to learn more!
2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overview
The five-passenger 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available in five trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and SRT. The Grand Cherokee's base engine, a 295-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, gets a best-in-class V6 Highway Driving Range for maximum efficiency and powerful, precise handling. When paired with its standard eight-speed automatic transmission, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a capable and balanced performance both off-road and on the highway.
If you prefer an engine with extra potency, the Grand Cherokee offers an alternative 360-horsepower 3.2-liter V6 that generates 360 lb-ft of torque and offers a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of 7,400 lbs. Pair that with one of three 4X4 systems-Quadra-Trac I®, Quadra-Trac II®, and Quadra-Drive®-and you're in for a robust, unforgettable ride through Butler, Kinnelon, and Bloomingdale.
2016 Acura MDX Overview
The 2016 Acura MDX is only available in one trim, unlike the Grand Cherokee, which offers five trim levels. The MDX gets a nine-speed automatic transmission, a 3.5-liter V6 engine, and standard front-wheel drive. The Acura midsize SUV also comes in with an almost $10,000 higher price tag compared to the Grand Cherokee.
The 2016 Acura MDX's ride quality is comparable to the Jeep Grand Cherokee's, but it lacks its competitor's nimble off-road performance. Additionally, the Acura MDX comes with seating for seven passengers but may be tight for adult passengers sitting in the back. The Grand Cherokee may be the more comfortable choice, especially with its flexible cargo space and generous rear legroom.
