Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. Chevrolet Blazer

If capable all-terrain performance is the name of the game, then the Jeep Grand Cherokee has come to play. It’s available with any of three 4x4 systems, while the Chevy Blazer is only available with all-wheel drive.

When you choose the Grand Cherokee, you’ll have the capability of:

You can also dial in your performance with up to five selectable drive modes with either SUV. The Blazer is available with an Off-Road Mode, while the Grand Cherokee comes with an enhanced Sand/Mud Mode for when you’re really in the thick of things.

The Quadra-Lift® Air Suspension is one performance system you’ll only find in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This available feature will automatically lower the vehicle at highway speeds to achieve superior aerodynamics. When you’re out on the trails, you can raise the vehicle to give it more ground clearance and clear any obstacles in your path and even ford up to 24 inches of water.

The Chevy Blazer brings plenty of power to the table with its standard 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine, which produces 228 horsepower. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine —standard on the Grand Cherokee—generates 293 horsepower.

The extra power available in the Jeep Grand Cherokee gives it the ability to tow up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped, whereas the Blazer only manages a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.

Once you’re out on the road, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection —available in both SUVs—will give you more confidence with a trailer in tow. You’ll receive an alert when there’s a vehicle traveling alongside or crossing behind you, so you can change lanes and merge with ease.

Plus, both SUVs offer an available 360° Surround View Camera that provides a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings so you can navigate around nearby objects—also very helpful when you have a trailer behind you.

Once you slide inside the cabin of either model, you’ll notice both SUVs make your comfort a priority. The Grand Cherokee makes it easier to personalize your support, though, with the available 16-way adjustable front seats. The Chevy Blazer is only available with an 8-way power driver seat and a 6-way front power passenger seat. You can also loosen up those tight muscles in the Grand Cherokee with the available massaging front seats.

Both models put plenty of innovation at your fingertips. Their infotainment systems provide access to a similar set of standard and available technologies., including:
