This 2021 Jeep Cherokee vs. Ford Escape comparison has been put together by the folks over at Century Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to help drivers in Mt. Airy, Woodbine, and Frederick, Maryland, decide which one matches their preferences the best. If you have had these two fully capable SUVs in your sights, take a moment to find out how they stack up to one another when placed side by side.


Jeep Cherokee vs Ford Escape: Spotlight on Engine Specs

Jeep Cherokee Engine SpecsBoth SUVs provide you with impressive engine options to propel you down the street. Here are the three possibilities for the Cherokee:

  • 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine
  • 2.0L Turbo engine
  • 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine

The 2.4L engine is the standard offering. You can rely on it to supply you with up to 180 horsepower. The available 2.0L engine is capable of producing an even more commanding 270 horsepower, and the available 3.2L option generates a maximum of 271 horsepower.

The maximum horsepower for the Escape is only 250 horsepower. That simply cannot stand up to the maximum horsepower that you’ll find under the Cherokee’s hood.


The Convenience Comparison

Jeep Cherokee

As we move on to the topic of convenience, the Jeep Cherokee continues to hold its own against the competition due to the fact that it’s available with the Uconnect® 4C NAV that boasts a touchscreen that measures 8.4 inches. With this at your disposal, it’s likely to be easier for you to see and access its various features quickly in order to devote as much of your attention as possible to the drive itself.

While the biggest available touchscreen for the Ford Escape is quite large at 8 inches, it’s not as accommodating as the one inside the Cherokee.


Exterior Measurements for the Jeep Cherokee vs Ford Escape

The Jeep Cherokee has a wheelbase that measures at 106.5 inches, a width of 73.2 inches, and a height of 65.7 inches. The Ford Escape is considerably larger with its 106.7-inch wheelbase, its 85.6 inches of width, and its height that measures at 66.1 inches. The Cherokee’s smaller stature is a benefit due to the fact that it makes it easier for you to corner more effectively when taking on tight turns.


A Look at Performance

Jeep Cherokee Off-Road

Both of these SUVs supply you with various drive modes that allow you to adapt according to whatever road condition you happen to encounter during your travels. For example, they each give you modes that can tackle sand and snow. However, only the Cherokee’s Select-Terrain® Traction Management System boasts an available Rock mode that uses Trail-Rated® locking rear differentials to let you safely make your way over rocky surfaces when off-roading.
