Infotainment Software
A cabin that offers intuitive and responsive technology while you're navigating through your daily commute is much appreciated, and the Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee can do this.
The new Ford Explorer touts the highly-revered SYNC® 3 system, which offers crisp responses and easy access to various applications. There's also the FordPass™ Connect setup and Voice-Activated Navigation System, each designed to make your travels more convenient.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a similar infotainment setup that can also connect to your smartphone for remote access to the vehicle. However, the available 10.1-inch LCD capacitive portrait touchscreen in the Explorer is larger and sharper than the available Jeep options.
Safety & Driver Assistance
It helps to have an SUV that looks out for your well-being as you maneuver through traffic, and the available features in the Ford Explorer outweigh the offerings in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee, for example, touts the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop capabilities. The Ford Explorer offers this same system as part of the Ford Safe and Smartâ„¢ Package, which includes additional boosts like rain-sensing wipers, auto high-beam headlamps, and a Lane-Keeping System that keeps you alert to vehicle drift. What really gives the Explorer the edge, though, is Park Assist 2.0â„¢, a feature that allows your SUV to park itself while you merely hold down a button in the cabin!
