It might seem like apples and oranges to list the differences between a Jeep and a BMW, but with the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the BMW X5 there are quite a few similarities, and the results of a head to head comparison might even surprise you.
Of course, the BMW X5 is a great example of BMW’s approach to luxury vehicle design. The large cabin is roomy and stylish, and the interior features are clean and high-end. The BMW X5 offers everything you might expect in terms of large SUV vehicle performance, but all of that extra luxury comes with a large price tag. The BMW X5 is going to amount to a steep monthly payment with its starting MSRP of $82,000. The top trim levels will cost you more as well, so go in expecting an even steeper price for the higher end of the line.
But you don’t have to break the bank to get the most out of your SUV! The Jeep Grand Cherokee brings all the luxury amenities you need with a comparably modest starting MSRP of just $32,150. Plus, for fans of the renowned Jeep handling capability on-road as well as off-road, the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers the most bang for your buck. Luckily, you don’t have to sacrifice any sense of design or style with the Grand Cherokee either, as the model offers both polished trim options and contemporary interior decor as well.
If you’re looking to stretch your gas budget the furthest, the Grand Cherokee has an impressive advantage over the less economical BMW X5, with 19 MPG on city streets, and up to 26 MPG on the highway. Additionally, the Grand Cherokee offers a larger fuel tank capacity, meaning altogether fewer rest stops on your next road trip.
While the BMW X5 is certainly an impressive SUV, when it comes down to it, the Jeep Grand Cherokee outperforms it in most practical considerations. All in all, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is both an unbeatable off-road vehicle that holds its own when it comes to the luxury SUV market – and it won’t break the bank.
