The 2026 Jeep® Grand Cherokee and the 2026 Honda CR-V often end up on the same shortlist, but the two SUVs are not built for the same kind of driving. Below, you'll find how the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee stacks up against the 2026 Honda CR-V so you can choose with confidence near Kimball, Minnesota. A. M. Maus and Son put together this comparison to help you see the differences before you decide.
Power Comparison
A 2.0-liter Hurricane™ 4 Turbo engine anchors the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup, producing 324 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Select Laredo models still offer a 3.6-liter V6 for a naturally aspirated option. The 2026 Honda CR-V tops out well below that mark, with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder earning 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque in gas form, or a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle hybrid system that reaches 204 total system horsepower at its strongest.
Towing Comparison
The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee tows up to 6,200 lbs when properly equipped with the Hurricane™ 4 Turbo engine, enough for a mid-size camper or a loaded utility trailer. The 2026 Honda CR-V caps out at 1,500 lbs for gas models and 1,000 lbs for hybrid models, a difference of nearly 5,000 lbs. A. M. Maus and Son sees this gap matter most for anyone who tows on weekends.
Technology Comparison
Screen size and audio quality separate these cabins, too. The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee includes a 12.3-inch infotainment display standard on Laredo Altitude models and above, with an available 10.25-inch front-passenger screen, a digital rearview mirror, and a 19-speaker McIntosh® audio system on Summit models. The 2026 Honda CR-V comes with a 9-inch touchscreen as standard equipment, stepping up to a 10.2-inch TFT gauge cluster and a 12-speaker Bose® Premium Sound System on higher trims. Both SUVs offer wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, but the standard screen on the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee is larger from the base trim up. That same generous screen size carries over to every new Jeep SUV in the lineup.
