Best Jeep for Everyday Driving

Top 2024 Jeep Model for Daily Driving

It’s almost unfair. The Jeep Wrangler is so iconic for its off-road capabilities that it’s sometimes easy to forget that Jeep offers a whole slate of other vehicles that are perfect for your everyday drive. The Grand Cherokee, for instance, is Jeep’s best-selling vehicle. By incorporating a smoothly tuned suspension and a family-friendly interior, the Grand Cherokee has become a favorite on city streets and highways. (And because it’s a Jeep, it can head off-road, too.) But it’s not the only highlight in Jeep’s lineup, so let’s take a look at which models stand out and why.

Most Fuel-Efficient

Every time you crank your vehicle, you glance at the fuel gauge. That’s natural because gasoline remains expensive. If you’re looking for the most fuel-efficient Jeep models, it’s time to consider the 2024 Grand Cherokee 4xE or the 2024 Wrangler 4xe. These electric vehicles can be charged for less than a third of the cost of a tank of gas, so they’re worth considering. However, if you’ve yet to be convinced of the EV future, the 2024 Renegade and the 2024 Compass will leave you pleased with their fuel-efficient gas mileage.

Most Standard Safety Features

Safety systems and driver-assistance technology aren’t fun to talk about. But driving isn’t just about fun. That’s why it’s important to know about the technology that plays a big part in keeping you safe and confident on the road. Jeep’s slate of safety and driver assistance tech is impressive, but the features do vary by model and trim level. If the safety of you and your loved ones is paramount in your new vehicle shopping, the Jeep Cherokee 4xe should be your top pick. While the gas-powered version of the Cherokee is also a strong contender, the Jeep Compass offers great safety for the price as well. Here are some of the features you’ll find in all three models:

• Lane-Departure Warning with Lane-Keeping Assist
• Rear Seat Alert
• Rearview Camera
• Forward Collision Warning with Forward Automatic Emergency Braking
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Most Standard Infotainment and Technology Features

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee and its nameplate siblings (4xe and L) are the hostesses with the mostest when it comes to infotainment and overall tech features. While the 2024 Jeep Gladiator has a larger infotainment screen, the Grand Cherokee is tops when it comes to comfort and connectivity, offering features like a rear-seat entertainment center and available quad-zone climate control in addition to the standard Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, and Amazon Alexa.

Best Visibility and Maneuverability

The entire Jeep lineup offers blind-spot monitoring and a rear-view camera as either standard of available equipment for 2024. But finding the Jeep with the best visibility is a little bit of a divisive task. The Grand Cherokee’s driver’s seat offers a higher perch and a wider rear windshield, the Compass might have the edge. Because the Compass is the smallest model in Jeep’s lineup, it also has the smallest turn radius. If you’re a city-focused driver, the Compass is easier to corner, turn around, and parallel park. The Cherokee has a longer wheelbase and that gives it larger blind spots than the Compass.

Most Passenger and Cargo Capacity

Now we’re talking space, the final frontier. Whoops, wrong space. We’re talking passenger and cargo space. And if you want to max out those variables, the choice is pretty clearly the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. With the longest wheelbase in its class, this three-row SUV seats seven passengers comfortably. The cargo room behind the third row is relatively small at 17.2 cubic feet, but with the those seats folded down, that expands to 46.9 cubic feet of space. With the third and second rows folded down, the Grand Cherokee L offers a cavernous 84.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
