2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2025 Toyota Highlander: Which SUV Should You Choose in Quebec?
At Poirier Chrysler in Rouyn-Noranda, many customers ask us how the all-new 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee compares to the 2025 Toyota Highlander. Both are popular mid-size SUVs, but they take very different approaches. Here’s our breakdown to help you make an informed choice.
1. Off-Road Capabilities: Jeep Takes the Lead
If you enjoy going off the beaten path, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a natural choice. With the Trailhawk or Overland trims, it offers:
The Toyota Highlander, even in AWD, is primarily designed for urban and family driving. It lacks the Jeep’s true off-road features.
2. Hybrid: Plug-In or Not?
The Grand Cherokee 4xe features a plug-in hybrid powertrain with up to 42 km of all-electric range, perfect for daily commutes without gas. You may also qualify for government incentives.
The Highlander Hybrid, on the other hand, is a self-charging hybrid (HEV): it’s fuel-efficient, but you cannot drive in 100% electric mode or charge at home.
3. Towing and Power
Have a trailer, boat, or utility trailer? The Grand Cherokee offers:
-
Up to 6,200 lbs towing with the V6
-
Up to 6,000 lbs towing with the 4xe
The Highlander tops out at 5,000 lbs (gas) and only 3,500 lbs for the hybrid version.
4. Interior Comfort and Luxury
In its high-end trims (Overland, Summit), the Jeep offers:
The Highlander is well-equipped but more conservative in design and interior finish.
5. Price and Family Space
The Toyota Highlander remains more affordable and comes standard with a third row, making it a popular choice for larger families.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a Grand Cherokee L version with three rows, but at a higher cost.
