Comparison Review

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

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 is a better financial choice over the Porsche Macan, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a little wider than the Porsche Macan, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is slightly longer than the Porsche Macan.

Handling
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a smaller turning radius than the Porsche Macan, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is clearly the choice over the Porsche Macan for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has a lot less horsepower than the Porsche Macan.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Porsche Macan. With the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Porsche Macan.
