2015 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2015 Honda CR-V

There are many options on the market today when it comes to choosing an affordable SUV. Two of the most popular options are the 2015 Jeep Cherokee and the Honda CR-V. Both vehicles come from brands with excellent reputations for high quality and affordability, which means you may find it difficult to choose between the two. 

In this comparison, we'll take a closer look at how the two vehicles compare in terms of power and performance and interior features.  

Power and Performance

The 2015 Jeep Cherokee offers front- and four-wheel drive and is available in four models. The standard model is equipped with a 2.4-liter I4 MultiAir engine. The vehicle also offers a 2.4-liter I4 PZEV M-Air engine as well as a 3.2-iter V6 24-valve Variable Valve Timing engine with Stop/Start. 

The 2015 Cherokee offers two transmission options: a nine-speed automatic transmission and a nine-speed transmission with Jeep Active Drive II. Known for its capability, the Jeep Cherokee is ready to take on your adventures wherever you are, whether that's around Jenkintown, Abington, and Fox Chase or off-road at your favorite camp site. 

The 2015 Honda CR-V offers Real-Time All-Wheel Drive. The standard model is equipped with a 16-valve DLHC i-VTEC four-cylinder engine that's paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Unlike the 2015 Jeep Cherokee, which offers a few engine and capability options, the CR-V doesn't offer a way to customize your vehicle's performance. 

Comparing the two vehicles in terms of power and performance is simple if you look just at capability. The CR-V offers one engine that's comparable to the smallest engine available in the Cherokee. However, it can't compare to the largest available engine. In this round, the Cherokee is the prudent option. 

Interior Features

Inside, the 2015 Jeep Cherokee has quite a bit to offer, such as heated front seats, leather-trimmed or premium cloth bucket seats, and an eight-way power driver seat with four-way power lumbar adjust. The vehicle is equipped with a 5.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display with a Uconnect 5.0 AM/FM/BT audio system-and that's just the standard system. The vehicle also offers an 8.4-inch touchscreen display with a Uconnect 8.4AN AM/FM/SXM/HD/BT/NAV audio system and nine amplified speakers with a subwoofer. 

The vehicle also offers HD radio, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, GPS navigation, integrated voice command with Bluetooth, SiriusXM Travel Link, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a USB port, and an auxiliary audio connection. 

On the other hand, the 2015 Honda CR-V offers some more affordable and less luxurious options. You can choose leather-trimmed and heated front seats, but you'll have to do some expensive upgrading to get the touchscreen infotainment system offered by Honda, since the standard model of the CR-V is only equipped with a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers.
