We know that making the decision to purchase a new vehicle can be an exciting and challenging time, especially when you've got great vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee and Honda CR-V from which to choose. At Troncalli Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we've written a Jeep Cherokee vs. Honda CR-V comparison for our neighbors from Cumming, Roswell, and Johns Creek, GA.
Jeep Cherokee vs. Honda CR-V: Passenger Space
When setting out on a new adventure, having ample space for your passengers is important. Comparing the passenger volume of each vehicle gives us an idea of what to expect for your passengers. While both vehicles seat five, they differ in the volume they offer.
For example, the Jeep Cherokee has a passenger volume of 128 cubic feet, while the Honda CR-V has a passenger volume of 105.9 cubic feet. This substantial difference between volumes means that passengers within the Jeep Cherokee will have more room to get comfortable in the cabin and not feel quite boxed in like they may inside the CV-R cabin.
Jeep Cherokee vs. Honda CR-V: Towing Capacity
Sometimes, you'll find that towing is necessary for the job or journey you're about to embark on. You'll need a vehicle that can tow the most, and these two put up great efforts but are not equal. While both vehicles' engines have a torque output over 170 lb-ft, one is stronger than the other.
Speaking of engines, the Jeep Cherokee comes standardly equipped with a 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 4-cylinder engine. While on the smaller size of the Cherokee lineup, it still provides an impressive maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Looking at the Honda CR-V, it possesses a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Almost a full liter smaller than the Cherokee's engine, it shows the difference with a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly configured. That deficiency of five hundred pounds makes a major impact as it limits what types of material you can take with you to work or recreation.
Jeep Cherokee vs. Honda CR-V: Exterior Measurements
Having a bigger vehicle can be great for tackling the outdoors or any type of terrain that would give smaller vehicles some difficulty. When sizing both vehicles, we paid close attention to their exterior measurements, which we'll highlight here:
Jeep Cherokee
- Exterior Length: 182 inches
- Exterior Width: 73.2 inches
- Exterior Height: 65.7 inches
- Wheelbase: 106.5 inches
Front & Rear Track: 62.7 inches/63.1 inches
Front & Rear Track:Honda CR-V
- Exterior Length: 182.1 inches
- Exterior Width: 73 inches
- Exterior Height (2WD/AWD): 66.1 inches/66.5 inches
- Wheelbase (2WD/AWD): 104.8 inches/104.7 inches
- Front & Rear Track: 63.0 inches/63.7 inches
As you can see, the measurements show that the Jeep Cherokee takes the advantage here. Granted, there are some areas where the CR-V excels, but that is negated by the overwhelmingly impressive measurements that the Cherokee provides.
