The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Land Rover Discovery Sport. The Jeep Grand Cherokee will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

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 Land Rover Discovery Sport.

If you go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Grand Cherokee doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
