The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude and the 2021 Toyota 4Runner Trail are family-size SUVs with off-road capabilities. Both can handle daily commutes and utility tasks, but one stands out when it comes to efficiency.Â
If you plan to use your SUV every day, fuel economy matters. Here is how the Grand Cherokee and 4Runner compare in this area.Â
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee AltitudeÂ
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6 Transmission: 8-Speed Automatic Fuel Economy (City): 12.7 L/100 km Fuel Economy (Highway): 9.6 L/100 km Tank Capacity: 93.1 LÂ
2021 Toyota 4Runner Trail
Engine: 4.0L DOHC V6 Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic Fuel Economy (City): 14.8 L/100 km Fuel Economy (Highway): 12.5 L/100 km Tank Capacity: 87 L
The 2021 Grand Cherokee Altitude comes out far ahead in this comparison. Its city gas use nearly matches the Toyota's highway fuel economy figures. Furthermore, the Jeep's larger (93L) tank means that you can go significantly longer between fill-ups.Â
The Grand Cherokee is so frugal thanks to features like Engine Start/Stop (ESS) technology, which shuts off the motor when the SUV is idling. At the same time, the Jeep is extremely capable. Its Quadra-Trac I 4x4 system automatically adjusts torque and traction to meet current road conditions.Â
