Prado Vs Jeep Grand Cherokee
Last Updated: 18 October 2009

I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Speaking of names this one is just as odd as the ones from Japan if you think about it.

Introduced at about the same time as the Prado,  the Jeep Grand Cherokee is clearly North  American in design and focus.  It's key feature is the availability of a V8 engine in all markets.

The two are not compared very often for clear reasons.  It's a 5 seater and road orientated. The SRT version is probably one of the fastest 4wd in the world.
 

These two are very different in the flesh.  The Grand Cherokee feels cheaper if you must know my opinion.

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories. You should check the official Jeep  website for your country for the most up to date information.

Note that due to the 2007 fuel price rises and now 2008 financial crisis it's probably the cheapest they will ever get.
