When it comes to protecting you from vehicle theft, you will find that the 4Runner has a leg up in this department as well. This SUV features an engine immobilizer feature standard, which can shut your engine off completely in the event that your vehicle is stolen.

You won’t find this feature in the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, so you may be out of luck if your vehicle gets stolen. This Toyota model also comes with a front knee airbag that will activate in the event of an accident. The Jeep doesn’t come outfitted with this airbag.
