Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Lexus GX 550, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Lexus GX 550.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Lexus GX 550.

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). Clearly, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a better financial choice over the Lexus GX 550, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is a little narrower than the Lexus GX 550, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, which is slightly longer than the Lexus GX 550.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Lexus GX 550 is clearly the choice over the Jeep Grand Cherokee L for pulling heavy loads. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a little less horsepower than the Lexus GX 550.

Powertrain
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L has much lower torque than the Lexus GX 550, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers greater seating capacity than the Lexus GX 550, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L has less cargo space than the Lexus GX 550, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
