2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. 2015 Honda Pilot

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2015 Honda Pilot are two popular options for those searching for an affordable SUV. So how will you decide between the two? 

In this vehicle comparison, we look at the two factors you most value in your vehicle to help you decide which is the best choice for you. Let's look at the engine options and standard features on the interior of the two to see who comes out on top. 

Powerful Engine Options

With several powerful engine options, the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee may already be the winner of this competition. The vehicle offers a powerful SRT 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine as well as three more efficient options: a 3.0-liter V6 EcoDiesel engine, a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, and a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine.

The vehicle comes standard with an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and offers several 4x4 systems, the Quadra-Trac Active On Demand 4WD, Quadra-Drive I 4WD system, and a Quadra-Drive II 4WD system. The vehicle offers excellent suspension to give you a standard ride no matter where you're driving, including an active damping suspension, normal-duty suspension, and Bilstein active suspension. 

The 2015 Honda Pilot is equipped with a 3.5-liter aluminum alloy 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC engine. This engine is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with grade logic control. The biggest downside of this vehicle overall is the lack of options. While you're offered four engine options in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you're offered no options in the Pilot and are forced to deal with the one moderately powered engine. 

Interior Excellence Standards

The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers an interior that's loaded with great technology features, including the standard 5.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a six-speaker audio system. As an available option, you may opt to upgrade the already amazing infotainment system to the Uconnect 8.4A AM/FM/SXM/BT/NAV audio system, which comes with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display that's amazing. The vehicle also offers an upgraded audio system: the 19 Harman Kardon speaker system with subwoofers. 

The 2015 Honda Pilot comes standard with an 8-inch multi-information display that looks amazing-on paper. The trouble is in the actual functionality of the system. While it seems like it's perfectly capable of handling the most basic of instructions, the Pilot's infotainment system feels more like a backseat driver than the copilot you were hoping for. A bit out of reach for the normal-sized human and lacking buttons, nobs, or even mildly intuitive controls, the system is downright confusing to use.
