Overview
Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV’s) offer a higher seating position and stable ride on and off-road. Below is a quick guide to all of Jeep’s SUVs and what they have to offer in terms of power and driver-assist features. Read on for a better look at which used Jeep SUV would suit you best.
New Grand Cherokee
The new Grand Cherokee is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that produces 375 horsepower and gets 57/56 mpg with standard rear-wheel drive. This Jeep SUV is great for a refined driving experience decked out in luxury and its own fair share of off-roading capabilities.
Wrangler
The Jeep Wrangler gets its power from a 3.6-liter V-6 which makes 285 horsepower or an optional turbocharged 4-cylinder paired to an electric motor. On top of those is an available 3-liter V-6, a plug-in hybrid powertrain and a 6.4-liter V-8. The Wrangler is designed to tackle the off-road more than it is to be a regular city-commuter.
Compass
The Jeep Compass is powered by a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder that makes 180 horsepower and 22/31 mpg. The Compass is a nice off-road crawler in between the sizes of the smaller Renegade and larger Cherokee.
Cherokee
The Jeep Cherokee gets its power from a 3.2-liter V-6 which makes 270 horsepower or an optional turbocharged 2-liter 4-cylinder. Fuel economy is 23/31 mpg and it can tow 4,500 pounds. The Cherokee is the perfect combination of on-road comfort, off-road capabilities and towing capabilities. Although less impressive on the inside, the Cherokee seems to combine the best features of all other Jeep SUVs.
Renegade
The Jeep Renegade’s engine is a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder paired to a 9-speed automatic that offers front or all-wheel drive. It gets 24/32 mpg. The Renegade is a good entry-level Jeep SUV with rugged capabilities and a spacious interior.
