Now that the prices are out, we can find interesting comparisons. For example, consider the 2014 Cherokee vs the 2014 Durango, both Limited versions:
Durango Limited RWD invoice $40,527 with V8, 2nd row captain’s chairs, navigation and power lift gate, Safety/Security and Convenience (cross traffic, rain sensing wipers) and standard: tri-zone automatic HVAC, remote start, Homelink, rear camera
MPG 14/23
Cherokee Limited AWD(drives more like RWD) invoice: $36,366 with V6, navigation, luxury, and technology and standard: remote start, rear camera, Homelink
MPG19/27
The differences are:
$4,161 (11.4% more to get a Durango instead of a Cherokee, or 10.3% less to get a Cherokee instead of a Durango)
easier to park the Cherokee
more space in the Durango
less fuel used by the Cherokee
a few more fancy features on the Durango
By the way, the Grand Cherokee Limited (RWD, V8) with similar equipment is even more expensive, with an invoice price of $43,195.
