Renowned for its balanced appointments, the Outlander provides a curated blend of on and off-road features while sporting a competitive price tag. Discover how it supersedes the Grand Cherokee below.
Price
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander begins at 30,015 dollars, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee starts at 36,495 dollars.
Performance
The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander and the Jeep Grand Cherokee are both formidable options in the SUV market, yet they cater to different driving experiences and preferences. When comparing their performance.
- The Outlander's 2.5L inline-four generates 181 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, paired with a CVT for smooth driving dynamics.
- Its PHEV variant boasts a 20.0-kWh battery pack, enabling an impressive electric-only range of 38 miles, promoting fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
- Front-wheel drive comes standard, with an option for all-wheel drive, offering versatile capabilities tailored to various driving conditions around Ramsey, NJ.
In contrast, the Grand Cherokee offers:
- A 293-horsepower 3.6L V6 or a robust plug-in hybrid setup with a 2.0L inline-four and an electric motor, producing a combined 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
- The hybrid variant operates on a smaller 14.0-kWh battery pack.
- Rear-wheel drive as standard for the V6, with all-wheel drive standard for hybrid models, focussing on power over efficiency.
Favoring the Outlander, its configuration emphasizes a balance between performance, efficiency, and environmentally friendly driving, particularly attractive for those prioritizing a reduced carbon footprint without sacrificing reliability and versatility. The Outlander PHEV’s superior electric range and flexibility in drivetrain options underscore its appeal to a wide audience, marrying efficiency with everyday practicality.
Interior
Minimalism meets sophistication in the Mitsubishi Outlander's revamped interior, setting a new benchmark for the segment. Its transformation from the previous generation's budget feel to a contemporary haven of high-quality materials significantly elevates the cabin experience. Design and comfort converge with an elegant layout, modern accents, and surfaces that speak to meticulous craftsmanship. The Outlander further impresses with its tech-forward approach, featuring a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a head-up display among its array of contemporary amenities. The spaciousness of the first two rows, with enhanced hip and legroom, ensures comfort for all passengers, surpassing its predecessor and many competitors.
Contrastingly, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, although modernized, adheres to a traditional luxury path with its higher trims. It boasts quilted leather, open-pore wood trim, and advanced digital interfaces. However, it remains a two-row SUV, with the option to expand to the Grand Cherokee L for those in need of more seating. While admirable, its offerings feel tailored to a different audience, one not necessarily prioritizing the forward-thinking design and expansive, inclusive comfort found in the Outlander's interior.
Tech and Safety
The Mitsubishi Outlander and Jeep Grand Cherokee both offer robust tech and safety features, but the Outlander edges ahead with its user-focused design and connectivity options:
Mitsubishi Outlander Highlights
- Choice of an 8.0- or 9.0-inch touchscreen, with wireless Apple CarPlay on the 9.0-inch model
- Hard buttons and physical knobs for ease of use
- Advanced features like a 10-speaker Bose system and Mitsubishi Connect app services
- Comprehensive driver assistance, including adaptive cruise control and a semi-autonomous driving mode
Compared to the Grand Cherokee's impressive screens and digital integration, the Outlander prioritizes everyday usability and connectivity, ensuring drivers have convenient, intuitive access to both infotainment and safety technologies. This user-friendly approach, alongside exclusive features like wireless device charging and a subscription-based remote service app, makes the Outlander stand out in the realm of tech and safety.
