Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Tiguan than in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Volkswagen Tiguan.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Jeep Grand Cherokee will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is much wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Handling
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Tiguan, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen Tiguan for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Grand Cherokee greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Jeep Grand Cherokee transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
