Jeep Cherokee vs Ford Edge

If you’re in the market for a new SUV that can handle any adventure in the areas of Tunkhannock, Dallas, Harveys Lake, and Kingston, you have a few great options to choose from like the Jeep Cherokee.

One of the Cherokee model’s closest competitors is the Ford Edge, which offers an array of impressive features. However, only one can come out on top. See which one it is in this comparison put together by our team at Tunkhannock Auto Mart!

Cherokee vs Edge: Performance & Capability Specs

The Jeep Cherokee is a powerhouse when it comes to power and capability. This model gives you three different engines to choose from including a 2.0L turbo engine, a 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 engine, and a 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine.

The former two offer up to an EPA-estimated 31 highway MPG while the latter focuses on performance.¹ With the V6 engine, you’ll get a powerful 271 horsepower while still achieving up to an EPA-estimated 31 highway MPG: the best of both worlds.²

The Edge, on the other hand, only offers two engine options. No matter which engine you pick with this model, the best fuel economy you’ll get is an EPA-estimated 29 highway MPG, which will make a big difference in the long run.

Cherokee vs Edge: Off-Road Readiness & Capability

The Jeep Cherokee is all about getting you where you need to go with everything you need for when you get there. When properly equipped, the Cherokee offers a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.³ Hitch the family fishing boat, a pop-up camper, or a few ATVs with ease.

Additionally, the Cherokee can be equipped with a number of traction-boosting systems for off-road adventuring. Opt for the available 4x4 system with Jeep Active Drive and the Selec-TerrainÒ Traction Management System, which lets you choose among several different drive modes.

With the Edge, you’ll get a few similar systems including an intelligent all-wheel-drive system. But you’ll miss out on a traction select system and you’ll also be limited to a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

Cherokee vs Edge: Cabin Comfort, Convenience, & Tech

Inside both the Jeep Cherokee and the Ford Edge, you’ll find five spacious seats with more than 40 inches of legroom to enjoy no matter what seat you sit in. But enjoyment inside the cabin hinges on a lot more than just wiggle room.

Both models ramp up comfort inside the cabin with available features like a heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control capability.

Additionally, both models offer intuitive infotainment systems with everything you need to stay connected behind the wheel. Use the touchscreens of these displays to follow navigation, access smartphone apps, take advantage of the built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspots, and more.
