2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs Ford Edge
When you start car shopping, it can be an overwhelming process, especially when you consider the many different options out there that you have to choose from. We are here to help breakdown some of the top SUVs on the market today! The first one we are looking at is the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which features a new package option, additional driver assistance aids for the Laredo trim, and a single-pane power sunroof for the Limited and Trailhawk models. The other SUV we are looking at is the 2020 Ford Edge. This model comes with a few new paint colors, and a new optional Titanium Elite package, which adds in cosmetic additions. Down below we're going to be comparing these two SUVs to figure out which one you should be driving home!
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Power & Handling
Jeep has always been known for having an engine lineup that impressed. This is further proven by the great lineup that comes with the 2020 Grand Cherokee. The base engine with this SUV is a 3.6-liter V6, which comes in 2WD or 4WD, and can output up to 295 horsepower. When you move up to another engine, you'll find the 5.7-liter V8, which can get you around 360 horsepower. For something that was created with performance in mind, you'll love the SRT's engine, or even the Trackhawk's engine. The SRT gets a 6.4-liter V8, which cranks out 475 horsepower. The Trackhawk offers a 6.2-liter supercharged V8, which produces 707 horsepower.
2020 Ford Edge Power & Handling
The 2020 Edge is available with only two engines. The base engine with this SUV is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, which can produce around 250 hp, and up to 275 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive being made available. The other engine we are looking at is a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6, which offers 380 pound-feet of torque. The lack of engine options, and the standard front-wheel drive, make this a pretty disappointing showing from Ford.
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Features & Design
Everyone knows that what keeps you coming back to a vehicle is the interior, and what sort of features are available. Jeep makes sure that the Grand Cherokee is not just powerful, but comfortable and modern. Standard features include Apple CarPlay, heated side mirrors, heated side mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, Android Auto, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Another trim to consider with the Grand Cherokee is Limited, which gets you a power sunroof, heated front seats, a power liftgate, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and navigation. A higher trim, Overland, adds 20-inch wheels, rain-sensing wipers, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof.
2020 Ford Edge Features & Design
Ford attempts to keep up with the Grand Cherokee, but just one look at the trim lineup, and the difference is clear. Standard features include Wi-Fi, rain-sensing wipers, a 4.2-inch infotainment display, and Ford Co-Pilot 360. The SEL trim, which sits right above the base model, includes power-adjustable front seats, Apple CarPlay, rear parking sensors, Android Auto, and an 8-inch touchscreen. A higher model, called Titanium, includes leather upholstery, wireless charging, a 110-volt outlet, and a hands-free tailgate.
