Jeep Grand Cherokee WK vs New Jeep Grand Cherokee

Compare the New Jeep® Grand Cherokee and Jeep® Grand Cherokee WK

If you're shopping the Jeep® lineup for an exceptional midsize SUV, you'll find that there are actually two Jeep® Grand Cherokee models to choose from - the Grand Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee WK. So, what's the difference between the two? You'll find a range of differences between them, but the most notable is size. The Grand Cherokee is larger and suited more for growing families. The Grand Cherokee WK, on the other hand, offers less seating space and a smaller price tag.

Both models are fantastic options for any driver with an adventurous streak, but your personal needs might make one of these rugged yet refined SUVs a better fit than the other. Take a closer look at what the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee WK have to offer when you explore our comparison.

Seating Capacity

The Grand Cherokee is available with a third row, granting it the ability to carry up to seven passengers. You can also take advantage of a variety of seating configurations to accommodate passengers and cargo on the fly. The Grand Cherokee WK offers seating for five and ample cargo space, so it might come down to how much seating you need.

The new Grand Cherokee offers up to 145 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the Grand Cherokee WK offers 105 cubic feet of passenger volume, so we invite you to take a closer look at both models to see if you should take the extra step to get more room for your family.

Performance

Both the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee WK come standard with a V6 engine that can churn out approximately 290 horsepower and 257 pound-feet of torque, so you'll have plenty of power on tap regardless of the model you pick. You can enjoy up to 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway with both models, so you can count on either model to provide excellent efficiency for your daily adventures around Fort Wayne, IN and Huntington.

Capability

SUVs like the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee WK are designed to give you the perfect blend of off-road capability and on-road refinement. Both models can handle themselves on rough terrain, tapping into the legendary legacy of the Jeep lineup. Which one you choose might depend on how much muscle you need for your daily adventures and weekend getaways.

The new Grand Cherokee offers impressive towing power right off the bat, supplying Auburn, IN drivers with a towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds. That's plenty for towing your big toys around town and gearing up to head out to your favorite campsite. The Grand Cherokee WK offers a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, so it's perfect if you need a little extra power to get you through your adventures.

Exterior Dimensions

How do the Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee WK look when you set them side by side? The Grand Cherokee is a bit bigger to allow it to offer enhanced interior space, so it stands at 193.5 inches long versus the 189.8-inch-long Grand Cherokee WK. The Grand Cherokee is also a touch wider and taller, helping to account for the extra space inside. Both are easy to maneuver, but you may find that the shorter length of the Grand Cherokee WK makes it easier to drive around Decatur, IN.
