Jeep Cherokee vs Ford Escape

Wondering if you should get the 2020 Jeep Cherokee or 2020 Ford Escape? To help our drivers in the Tunkhannock, Dallas, Harveys Lake, and Kingston, PA, area see which SUV they’d benefit the most from having, our Tunkhannock Auto Mart compared the performance and features of the 2020 Jeep Cherokee vs. Ford Escape below.

Heading Off-Roading?

If you like to get out and explore the amazing scenery right in our backyard, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee is ready to take you out for a true adventure. While the Ford Escape does have an available AWD system that’s mostly suited to help when the weather changes road conditions, the available 4x4 systems you can get in the 2020 Cherokee do much more.

They’re ready to give you the stability for smooth and controlled driving over rocks and through mud. High air intakes and great ground clearance even let the Jeep Cherokee drive through a stream and keep the underbody better protected when riding over rocks.

You’ll even be able to take your camper with you to the campground, since the Jeep Cherokee towing capacity reaches 4,500 pounds. At most, the 2020 Escape can tow 3,500 pounds.

Features Inside the Cherokee vs Escape

These 2020 SUVs both come with spacious seating for five. You can also use a great deal of the interior space for cargo when carrying bigger gear with you.

The big difference will be seen with the different features you get with each vehicle. They both have a standard infotainment system. The Ford Escape has the SYNC® system that allows you to use Bluetooth® technology to stream music and make calls.

The Uconnect® 4 system in the Jeep Cherokee can do this and more. By connecting via Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, more of your phone’s apps can be used while driving. This gives you more convenience since you can open your maps and quickly find the best route to get home or have your text messages read out loud to you. This kind of connection is only available in higher trim levels of the Escape. 

A Premium Interior Design

They both offer additional features and design options for the interior. If you’re looking for a luxurious ride, both have available leather seating and panoramic sunroofs. This includes the available high-end Nappa leather trim in the 2020 Cherokee.

You can even stay warm during the cold winter months with available heated seats and steering wheel within each SUV. When it gets hot and humid out, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee will help you stay cooled off, too, since it has available ventilated seats you can get, along with the available heated seats. Unfortunately, the Ford Escape doesn’t offer this same level of comfort when it’s hot out.

Deciding Between the 2020 Jeep Cherokee vs Ford Escape

If you’re looking to take your new SUV off-roading and want to stay comfortable no matter the season, any of the 2020 Jeep Cherokee trim levels will give you just that. That isn’t all it offers, either.
