If you're shopping for a three-row SUV in Summerside, PE, chances are the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited and the 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line have caught your attention. Both offer bold designs, strong engines, and advanced tech. but when you dig into the details, one stands out just a bit more for everyday versatility, long-haul comfort, and rugged capability.
Performance and Powertrain
Let’s start under the hood. The 2025 Grand Cherokee L Limited runs on a 3.6-litre Pentastar™ VVT V6 engine with Engine Stop/Start tech, producing 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, giving it confident pull and solid performance.
On the other hand, the Explorer ST-Line features a 2.3-litre Turbocharged EcoBoost® I-4 engine delivering 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s a touch stronger in specs, especially in torque, which gives it strong initial acceleration.
While the Ford offers slightly more torque, Jeep’s naturally aspirated V6 delivers a well-balanced ride and stronger towing performance.
Towing and Capability
If you plan to haul a trailer, camper, or gear for weekend adventures, towing capacity matters. The Grand Cherokee L Limited can tow up to 2,812 kg, thanks in part to its robust V6. The Explorer ST-Line comes in lower, at 2,268 kg. Jeep also adds trail-ready features like the Quadra-Trac I® 4x4 system, Selec-Terrain® Traction Management, and Sport Mode—making it ready for anything from slippery roads to mild off-road conditions. The Jeep offers better towing capability and more traction control features for Canadian roads and adventures.
Fuel Efficiency
Despite its larger engine, the Grand Cherokee L Limited holds its own on fuel efficiency with ratings of 12.3 L/100 km city and 9.2 L/100 km highway. The Explorer ST-Line posts a slightly better highway number at 8.7 L/100 km and 11.9 L/100 km in the city. Ford has a slight edge in highway mileage, but Jeep holds its own in being impressively efficient for a V6-powered SUV with greater towing capacity.
Interior Comfort and Technology
Inside the Grand Cherokee L Limited, comfort takes centre stage. You’ll find heated Capri leatherette seats in both the first and second rows, a heated techno-leather-wrapped steering wheel, and soft-touch surfaces throughout. The front seats are 8-way power adjustable, and the driver gets memory settings for seat, mirrors, and audio.The Uconnect® 5 NAV system includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen with GPS, traffic updates, and a premium 6-speaker system with active noise cancellation. It’s paired with a crisp 10.25-inch frameless digital gauge cluster.
The Explorer ST-Line features ActiveX™ trimmed seats with cloth inserts, a 12.3-inch productivity screen, and a 10-speaker sound system. It also includes heated front seats and an 8-way power passenger seat. Both SUVs are well-equipped, but the Jeep's leatherette finish, advanced noise cancellation, and premium feel edge it forward in day-to-day comfort.
Design and Road Presence
Both SUVs bring unique design cues. The Grand Cherokee L Limited features polished 18-inch aluminum wheels that are ideal for city manoeuvring and paired with low-rolling-resistance all-season tires. Chrome accents, body-colour door handles, and gloss black power mirrors round out its upscale look.
The Explorer ST-Line stands out with 20-inch machined wheels and sporty exterior detailing. While they add presence, the larger wheels may trade some urban agility. The Grand Cherokee strikes a balance between refined elegance and rugged charm, with a design that feels purpose-built yet premium.
Safety and Confidence
Jeep loads up the Grand Cherokee L Limited with high-tech safety, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with Pedestrian/Cyclist Emergency Braking, and the Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist System with Active Braking.
Ford’s ST-Line matches that with systems like AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™, SOS Post-Crash Alert, and a full set of airbags including side-curtain protection. Both models take safety seriously, but Jeep adds a few more layers of active driver assistance that elevate confidence behind the wheel.
