2025 Palisade vs Grand Cherokee vs Chevy Traverse

Standard three-row seating
The Palisade comes standard with three rows, accommodating up to eight passengers. In contrast, three-row seating for the Grand Cherokee is only available on the more expensive "L" model.

Generous third row
third row in the Palisade is notably more spacious and usable for adults on a consistent basis. The third row in the Grand Cherokee L is more cramped.

Best-in-class cargo capacity
With all seats folded, the Palisade offers up to 86.4 cubic feet of cargo space, significantly more than the standard Grand Cherokee's 70.8 cubic feet. This makes it a more versatile hauler for luggage, gear, and bulk purchases.

Thoughtful family features
For added convenience, the Palisade offers features like available power-folding third-row seats, second-row heated and ventilated seats, and the "Passenger Talk" intercom system, which allows the driver to communicate with passengers in the rear.

Upscale finishes
The Palisade offers soft-touch materials, available Nappa leather, and a sleek, modern dash layout. Higher-end trims of the Grand Cherokee offer luxurious touches, but the Palisade provides a more upscale feel across all trim levels.

Tech-forward displays
The Palisade features a seamless, curved digital display integrating a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. While the Traverse offers a large 17.7-inch screen, the Palisade's setup feels more cohesive and premium. The Grand Cherokee's standard 8.4-inch screen also feels less advanced by comparison.

Standard tech features
Key features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all Palisade trims, and many driver-assist features are standard across the lineup.

Industry-leading warranty
The Palisade comes with America's Best Warranty: a 5-year/60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. This is significantly longer than the standard coverage from Jeep and Chevrolet.

Lower starting price
2025 Palisade has a lower starting MSRP than both the Grand Cherokee and the Traverse, meaning you can get into a well-equipped, eight-passenger SUV for less.

Higher predicted reliability
Reputable sources like J.D. Power and Consumer Reports consistently rate Hyundai's reliability higher than Jeep, offering more peace of mind to buyers.

Hyundai Smart Sense
Standard features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Lane Following Assist.

Advanced driver aids
The Palisade offers several advanced aids not found in standard Grand Cherokees or Traverses, such as Safe Exit Assist and Remote Smart Parking Assist.
