Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Grand Cherokee than in the BMW X3, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the BMW X3 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Convenience
With the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the BMW X3, 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 BMW X3 is somewhat more expensive than the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X3 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 BMW X3 is slightly shorter than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW X3 has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X3 has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the BMW X3 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X3 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The BMW X3 has less cargo space than the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
