Jeep Cherokee vs Toyota RAV4: Specs

You want an SUV that confidently powers you forward in every driving situation. The Jeep Cherokee and RAV4 have potent engines, but you'll have more options when you choose the Jeep SUV.

The Jeep Cherokee offers three available engines, from the base Tigershark® MultiAir® 2 4-cylinder to an available turbocharged 4-cylinder and an award-winning Pentastar® V6. Choose the latter, and you'll see up to 271 horsepower and a max towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.

The Toyota RAV4's lone 4-cylinder engine may feel a bit underpowered by comparison. It cranks out 203 horsepower and tows up to 3,500 pounds at its best. Your best bet where capability is concerned will be the Jeep crossover vehicle in this case.

Off-Roading Where the Pavement Ends

When it comes to the Jeep Cherokee vs. Toyota RAV4, both models market themselves as off-road-ready adventure vehicles-and they are! The RAV4 Adventure is made for the trails, and the Cherokee Trailhawk lives up to its name.

With a ground clearance of up to 8.6 inches and available all-wheel-drive (AWD) technology, the RAV4 is a force to be reckoned with on light trails. Available Multi-terrain Select lets you choose between terrain modes and optimize for mud and sand or rock and dirt.

The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is Trail Rated® and will outperform even the RAV4 Adventure on rough terrain. Use its Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System to adapt to dusty trails and jagged rocks as needed. Choose from three available 4x4 systems-a freedom you won't have in the RAV4.

In-Car Technology

Connectivity comes easy in the Cherokee and RAV4. The two crossover vehicles make their infotainment systems standard, so you can connect to your smartphone from the dashboard touchscreen.

Use Bluetooth® to stream music and make hands-free calls as you drive. Let Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ be your guide when you want your own curated playlists. Access your favorite music apps on the go when you link your smartphone to the Jeep Uconnect® or Toyota multimedia system.

The Jeep Cherokee also offers available SiriusXM Guardianâ„¢. This handy feature lets you lock and unlock your vehicle and start your engine remotely. It's a feature lacking in the RAV4, unfortunately.

Should I Choose the Jeep Cherokee or Toyota RAV4?

We hope Cumming, Roswell, and Johns Creek, GA, drivers found this comparison between the Jeep Cherokee vs. Toyota RAV4 to be helpful! The Jeep Cherokee and Toyota RAV4 are capable compact SUVs you'll want to learn more about.

If you want more muscular engines, off-road ability, and advanced features, however, you'll find the Jeep Cherokee an excellent choice. It outcompetes the RAV4 at every opportunity.
