Jeep Grand Cherokee and Volvo XC90 are the only 2 SUVs with a 2.0L turbo petrol engine. The German trio, that is the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, offer 3.0L turbo petrol engines. Additionally, the X5 and GLE also offer the option of turbo diesel engines. The Grand Cherokee not only falls short on displacement, but it is also the least powerful SUV in the segment. Hence, we can expect Jeep to price the Grand Cherokee competitively.
