Whether you’re heading to the campground for a family vacation or carpooling the neighborhood kids to school, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Honda Pilot will add a kick to your commute.
Which model offers more power overall? Let’s explore their engines below:
- Jeep Grand Cherokee L 3.6L V6 Engine: 290 horsepower
- Honda Pilot V6 Engine: 280 horsepower
As you can see, the Jeep and the Honda’s power output are only separated by a hair. However, despite this slight difference, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is able to tow more than the Honda Pilot. When properly equipped, the Jeep can haul 7,200 pounds, whereas the Honda falls short with just 5,000 pounds.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L and the Honda Pilot both add a third row to their cabins, which brings seating up to seven in the Jeep and seating up to eight in the Honda.
Even though the Pilot offers an additional appointment, both models offer around 152 cubic feet of passenger volume for all riders to share.
Where these models begin to differ is in their cargo-carrying abilities. No matter if you have every seat occupied or you’re on a solo excursion, you’ll be able to hold lots of cargo in either SUV:

In fact, either model offers the following amenities:

- Digital Rearview Mirror - Via a liftgate-positioned camera, a crystal-clear image of what’s behind your Jeep will be displayed on your rearview mirror.
