The 2021 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2021 Ford Explorer
Jeep drivers are known for their ambitious and adventurous spirit. One SUV that exemplifies this lifestyle is the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. Designed to tackle off-roading as confidently as it can conventional roads, the Cherokee is an excellent choice for the modern Michigan driver. Dependable and rugged, the Jeep continues its proud tradition of providing drivers with quality handling that is demanded for those off-roading excursions. Other SUVs on the market today, like the 2021 Ford Explorer, do not have the same heart for adventure that the Cherokee instills.
Performance
Highlighting its natural ability away from the paved road, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee uses its design to offer premium handling and stability in virtually any situation. The SUV is FWD as the standard drivetrain, with AWD being available. The suspension is set to be relatively firm which is ideal for maintaining a comfortable ride while undertaking everything from off-roading to pleasant highway cruising. The standard 2.4L four-cylinder engine provides reliable performance with its 180 horsepower and accompanying nine-speed automatic transmission. The 2021 Ford Explorer comes with a standard turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine that outputs 300 horsepower. Unlike the Cherokee, the base models are RWD with Intelligent 4WD able to be installed instead.
Interior Features
The 2021 Cherokee has a cabin that allows the driver and passengers to sit comfortably while keeping options open as to the extent of interior features they wish to have. Those who prefer a more simplistic ride as they use their Cherokee for adventuring will find select models fitting their straightforward mindset. For the rest who are interested in having many of the modern conveniences that drivers enjoy today, there are trims that cover them as well. The Jeep has a competitive array of infotainment technology to the more expensive Ford Explorer even at the base level. Smartphone integration to both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard on both the Cherokee and the Explorer for personalized media content with applicable devices. The Cherokee also features comfortable seating throughout the family of models so that passengers can spend their time enjoying the sights and sounds of their adventures.
Safety Features
Jeep offers similar standard driver-assistance technology to the Ford Explorer at the base level for a fraction of the cost. This means drivers get access to modern features including both Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert for enhanced protection for the rear of the SUV. Both Forward Collision Warning and Automated Emergency Braking are also present on every model of the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. When combined with the excellently agile design of the SUV, the Cherokee excels both off-road and out on the open highway.
