2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overview
The midsize crossover is among the most popular vehicle types in Fort Myers Florida, and there are some very compelling options on the market. Chief among them is the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is a nameplate that has earned more industry awards than any other SUV. The Grand Cherokee seats up to five and provides ample legroom and cargo space. A popular alternative to the Grand Cherokee is the Traverse. Chevrolet takes a different approach by being more economy focused and including a third row that allows seating for up to seven but provides less cargo space. Let us compare the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2021 Chevrolet Traverse with an eye on the major differences.

While both vehicles are midsize crossovers, the 2021 Chevrolet Traverse is a bit larger overall in order to accommodate the third row of seating. It measures 204.3 inches in overall length, which is about 17 feet. The Grand Cherokee, on the other hand, measures 189.8 inches, which is under 16 feet. A big part of what makes the Grand Cherokee so popular is its iconic and unmistakable Jeep style. The Traverse is an attractive vehicle in its own right, but the aesthetic mirrors many other crossovers. Both vehicles come standard with 18-inch alloy wheels and offer wheel sizes as large as 20 inches.
Interior - 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Fort Myers FL
The interior is perhaps the most interesting aspect of a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2021 Chevrolet Traverse comparison. It really comes down to whether you want a five-passenger crossover on the roomier end of that spectrum or a seven-passenger spectrum on the smaller end of that spectrum. The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee available at Galeana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram seats up to five. It provides 40.3 inches of front-row legroom and 38.6 inches of second-row legroom. It also provides 36.3 cubic feet of dedicated cargo space. The 2021 Chevrolet Traverse seats up to five and is similar in terms of the front-row and second-row legroom that it provides. However, it offers just 23.0 cubic feet of dedicated cargo space, and that sacrifice is made in order to allow for 33.5 inches of third-row legroom.
