No one wants to ride in a cramped vehicle that doesn’t offer sufficient leg room or headroom. The Chevy Traverse wins in this category. There is room for up to eight passengers in the Traverse and only five in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The driver and front passenger will benefit from 41.3-inch headroom and 41-inch legroom. The Grand Cherokee offers slightly less headroom at 39.9-inches and legroom at 40.3-inches.
The passengers in the second-row seating in the Traverse will have similar legroom at 38.4-inches as compared to the 38.6-inch legroom in the Grand Cherokee. However, your passengers in the Traverse will have 62.2-inch shoulder room which is 4.2-inches more than in the Grand Cherokee. The second row features Enhanced Smart Slide second-row seating technology.
There is a third row in the Traverse but no such seating in the Grand Cherokee. So, if you want to have more people ride with you, then the Traverse is a much better option. These third-row passengers will have 38.2-inches of headroom, 57.5-inches of shoulder room, and 48.5-inches of hip room.
The maximum cargo space up to the front seat in the Traverse is 98.2 cu.ft. The maximum cargo space up to the front seat in the Grand Cherokee is 68.3 cu.ft. If you use the third row for seating in the Traverse, you’ll only have 23 cu.ft. of cargo space as compared to 36.3 cu.ft. of the back storage area in the Grand Cherokee. However, if you fold the third row down in the Traverse, you’ll have seating for up to five people and have 57.8 cu.ft. as compared to the normal five-passenger seating and 36.3 cu.ft. in the Grand Cherokee.
These SUVs have their own distinctive style and design. When deciding whether to purchase one or the other, you need to ascertain whether or not style and design play a huge role in your decision-making process.
The Chevy Traverse midsize SUV has a sporty design with a sleek look that features a streamlined design. There are a variety of trim levels to choose from like the LS, LT with cloth, or LT with leather seating, RS, Premier, and High Country. The cabin interior features the same sporty and sleek design. There is an available Dual SkyScapeTM 2-panel power sunroof as well as heated and ventilated front seats.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a more rugged design style that is meant to include a quality interior design in an SUV that is well-suited for off-road ability. This SUV is ideal for the individual who enjoys off-roading on challenging terrain.
So, in this debate between the Traverse and Grand Cherokee, you need to take an introspective look at what type of SUV you want. If a sportier and classier look is what you want to make a grand statement—then the Traverse is ideal for you. If you want the opportunity to head on off-road adventures, then the Grand Cherokee is what you want.
