2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2020 Subaru Outback
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2020 Subaru Outback
When it comes to SUVs, nothing beats a Jeep or Subaru in terms of capability and reliability. Both brands have a long history of off-road ability, on-road smoothness, and innovative technology. Today we’re breaking down both of these brands’ top models to determine which is the best off-road and around town vehicle! On the left, we have the capable and luxurious 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and on the right is the 2020 Subaru Outback. Which model is the ultimate off-road champ? Keep reading this article to find out!
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Power & Handling
The 2020 Grand Cherokee has impressive credentials thanks to Jeep’s reputation, though this SUV is still remarkably civilized in the city and on the highway. The Grand Cherokee has a ride comfort indicative of a luxury SUV with the handling and power of a large sedan. Performance varies depending on which of the four engines you choose, although all provide plenty of power to get you where you need to go. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 engine that spits out 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Next up is the 5.7-liter V8 engine, although a 6.4-liter and 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine are also available. The SRT uses the 6.4-liter engine and boasts a 475 horsepower and blasts to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. On the other hand, the 6.2-liter engine roars to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds thanks to the 707 horsepower. Regardless of which engine you choose, you get an 8-speed automatic transmission, a 7,400-pound tow capacity, and either 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive. When it comes to off-road ability, nothing handles rugged terrain like a Jeep. The Grand Cherokee comes with numerous 4WD systems and generous ground clearance to take the SUV where rivals dare not tread.
2020 Subaru Outback Power & Handling
The 2020 Outback comes with a standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that is capable of 182-horsepower that struggles a little with the Outback’s increased weight. The Subaru comes with a continuously variable transmission that is smooth and provides a decent amount of response. Still, the Outback isn’t particularly speedy, and the reward is not worth it. A 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-4 engine is also available and provides more horsepower, but it is only available on specific models. The brake-induced active torque vectoring leads to capable handling, but nothing about the steering or suspension encourages enthusiasm. If you’re in an area with elevation, you’ll want to pass on the Outback since the altitude tends to make the powertrains feel weak and ineffective. When it comes to snowstorms and rugged terrain, the Outback remains competitive thanks to its standard all-wheel-drive. The Outback can handle slippery roads and puddly dirt roads, but around town, the SUV is less enjoyable. The athletic handling and enjoyable grumble have vanished in the 2020 model year, and the cabin is made less pleasant by intrusive noise.
2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Features & Design
The 2020 Grand Cherokee has seven incredible trims with the base Laredo offering standard features such as a high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitor, a rearview camera, and dual-zone climate control. Upgrades will get you features including a power liftgate, power sunroof, power and heated front seats, and an upgraded 8.4-inch touchscreen with navigation. No matter which model you choose, it can be refined with advanced 4WD systems. However, an off-road-focused Trailhawk model is available with Quadra-Drive II 4WD, a premium Harman Kardon audio system, and other off-road features. Safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning are also available. The SRT and Trackhawk models are designed for high-performance with several features that are designed to handle the increased powertrain.
2020 Subaru Outback Features & Design
The Subaru Outback also has seven trims with the base Outback offering highlights such as a rearview camera, keyless entry, Bluetooth, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features at this level include front collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. There is also an available 11.6-inch, tablet-style touchscreen that is great in theory, but it is tricky to use and not as intuitive as it could be. Other upgrades include a power sunroof, heated steering wheel, navigation, DriverFocus technology, navigation, 2nd-row sunshades, seat covers, floor liners, skid plates, and other features depending on trim level and how much you want to spend. A push-engine start, passive keyless entry, power tailgate, and rear-seat entertainment systems are also available at a cost.
Conclusion:
Whether you’re interested in off-road capability or on-road quality, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the clear winner! The Subaru Outback was a strong contender, but in the end, it was no match for the Grand Cherokee’s luxury design and impressive off-road capability. Even the base 2-wheel-drive Grand Cherokee is outmatched in versatility and ability, and the model’s suite of high-quality technology is best-in-class.
