Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Grand Cherokee than in the Genesis GV70, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis GV70, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Genesis GV70, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Genesis GV70 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV70 is much slimmer than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Genesis GV70 is slightly shorter than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Genesis GV70 has the same turning radius as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is clearly the choice over the Genesis GV70 for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Genesis GV70 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Genesis GV70 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Genesis GV70 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Genesis GV70 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
