Compare 2015 CR-V vs Cherokee

2015 Honda CR-V vs Jeep Cherokee

The Honda CR-V is the best-selling SUV in the U.S ten years running and the 2015 CR-V has been named the Motor Trend Sport Utility of the Year award. With accolades like that, we don't have to brag much about the CR-V. But, how does it hold up when compared with one of its main competitors, the 2015 Jeep Cherokee? While the Jeep Cherokee has its charms, we think there are a lot of ways it is bested by the all new CR-V. For starters, Cherokee is one of the models the CR-V beat out to win the Motor Trend award for 2015. Let's continue.

Economy and Efficiency

Serving Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg

The Honda CR-V posts significantly better fuel economy numbers than the Jeep Cherokee, meaning more time on the road and less time at the pump. It also means less of your hard-earned dollars going into the gas tank. Honda takes a very forward-thinking approach when it comes to economy and ecology. The automaker continues to develop better ways to lower the carbon footprint of its vehicles without losing out on performance - and the CR-V represents this philosophy in the SUV segment.

Power and Performance

Both SUVs in this comparison are available with bigger motors and 4-wheel drive. Even at the base level, the 2015 Honda CR-V has more torque for more power on the ground. It also has more horsepower making it every bit the beefy utility vehicle you'll want when you're heading out in inclement weather or traversing rugged terrain. When it comes to agility, the CR-V handily beats the Cherokee. The more slender profile of the CR-V allows for much easier maneuvering in and out of tight spaces like parking spots.

Comfort and Convenience

The 2015 Honda CR-V has more utility space, so you can fit more of your stuff with you. The Jeep Cherokee is surprisingly skimpy when it comes to cargo room. This holds true with the interior spaces, too. Reviewers have lamented the lack of passenger space in the Cherokee, while they have praised the ample cabin in the CR-V. The CR-V is also available in a wider variety of exterior colors and interior materials so you can create your perfect vehicle.
