Jeep Cherokee vs Chevy Equinox
 

On the hunt for a new SUV? If so, then you're probably in need of something where space is abundant. Where technology acts as your copilot along your commute in Sandusky, Ohio. A vehicle that can be taken anywhere at any time when traveling around Avon Lake and Willard.

To find that all in one ride, it's time to look at two of the more versatile, well-equipped options. Below, our Firelands Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) team provides a closer look at the  Jeep Cherokee vs. Chevy Equinox to see which one checks all the boxes for your needs!

Space and Comfort Inside the Cherokee vs Equinox
 

Let's first look at the space you'll find in the Cherokee vs. Equinox. While both models have seating for five passengers, the amount of room everyone will get differs. The 2023 Cherokee has 128 cubic feet of passenger volume. That includes 40.3 inches of rear legroom that your friends are sure to enjoy.

The Equinox comes with 103.5 cubic feet of passenger volume with 39.9 inches of rear legroom. While each vehicle too offers the ability to keep you warm and cozy in the winter and cool in the summer, the Cherokee can elevate your comfort with its luxurious Black Nappa leather-trimmed seats it has available. The Equinox also offers available leather seats, but the Nappa leather in the Cherokee provides added style and comfort with its unique qualities.

Chevy Equinox vs Jeep Cherokee: Performance Capabilities
 

When it comes to the power and performance of these vehicles, there are slight differences. The Cherokee gives you two engine options. You can enjoy up to 270 horsepower and a towing capacity of 4,000 pounds thanks to its available turbo engine.

The Equinox comes with just one engine. With its 4-cylinder engine, it produces 175 horsepower and can only tow up to 1,500 pounds.

The Jeep Cherokee is also built for all-weather, all-terrain performance. That starts with the stability its available 4X4 systems provide and the available mechanical rear axle lock that enhances traction even more.

It also offers the available Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System. Choose from modes like Snow, Sand/Mud, and Rock and let the Cherokee optimize performance for your path ahead.

Added Assistance for Your Safety and Convenience
 

Safety is a top priority with both SUVs. They each offer features that can help you park your SUV right outside the restaurant and help you change lanes on the highway. However, in certain scenarios, the Jeep Cherokee is able to help out even more so you can confidently and conveniently drive.

That includes when the weather changes and you need to ensure visibility is always maximized. If it starts to rain or snow, the rain-sensing windshield wipers of the Cherokee will be able to detect that and automatically turn on at the speed needed to ensure you continue to see the road ahead clearly.
