2015 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2015 Toyota Rav4

If you're trying to choose between the 2015 Jeep Cherokee and the Toyota RAV4, you're likely checking out their exteriors and thinking they look like they could both handle serious outdoor adventures. But the truth is that one is definitely more rugged on the inside than the other. 

Let's take a closer look in this vehicle comparison to see who gets to be your next road warrior companion. 

Performance Options

Offering three engine options, the Jeep Cherokee gives every buyer the opportunity to customize their driving experience. Whether you go with the 2.4-liter I4 MultiAir engine, 2.4-liter I4 PZEV M-Air engine, or 3.2-liter V6 24-valve Variable Valve Timing (VVT) engine with Stop/Start, you'll enjoy a powerful engine that's capable of handling all of life's biggest adventures. 

The Cherokee offers a nine-speed automatic transmission or a nine-speed transmission with Jeep Active Drive II, but both will give you strong acceleration and smooth transitions. The vehicle is also available with two suspension options: normal duty and off-road. 

The 2015 Toyota RAV4 offers one engine option, a 2.5 Liter four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine with Dual VVT-i. This engine is paired with a six-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with Intelligence (ECT-i) and comes standard with front-wheel drive. The vehicle is also available in dynamic torque-control all-wheel drive, but you'll have to upgrade to the most expensive model to get that feature, which means adventure might have to wait for those on a budget. 

Interior Features

On the interior, the 2015 Jeep Cherokee can stand up to the competition easily. Offering a standard 5.0-inch touchscreen display and six-speaker audio system with auxiliary input jack for mobile devices, a remote SD card slot, and integrated voice command with Bluetooth, the Cherokee is ready for all of your adventures whether you're driving around Abington, Fox Chase, and Jenkintown or journeying through the back trails of PA. 

The vehicle also offers an excellent upgrade to the 8.4-inch touchscreen display with a Uconnect 8.4AN AM/FM/ SXM/HD/BT/NAV audio system as well as add-ons, including SiriusXM Satellite Radio with a one-year radio subscription, HD radio, GPS navigation, and a USB port. 

The Toyota RAV4 comes standard with an impressive infotainment system that seems to give the Cherokee a run for its money. With a 6.1-inch touchscreen with an integrated backup camera, we're going to admit that it's nice. The trouble is, it's the only option the vehicle offers. Those who want the 8.4-inch touchscreen navigation system will have to just stick with the Jeep because you're not going to get a better option in the RAV4.
