2020 Jeep Cherokee vs 2020 Ford Escape

Serving Dickson, TN

When crossover SUV shoppers visit Steve Jones Auto, they frequently inquire about differences between the Jeep Cherokee and other comparable models. The Ford Escape and the Jeep Cherokee are priced in the same ballpark, have a two-row cabin, and share some features. Because of these similarities, a more thorough comparison is naturally in order.

Exterior

Across the exterior of the 2020 Jeep Cherokee, you can appreciate confident, practical design elements. This is a trail-rated crossover, so you will not be surprised to find thick body molding, skid plates, and raised roof rails. At the same time, the 2020 Cherokee is a sophisticated vehicle that looks natural cruising through urban and suburban areas. From its LED headlights to its power liftgate, the Cherokee is a modern, well-equipped crossover. In comparison, the 2020 Ford Escape has a unique look with bulging, triangular headlights and a wide grille that sits very low to the ground. Its façade is relatively smooth with modest definition.

Interior

At various trim levels, both the 2020 Cherokee and the 2020 Escape come with leather seating, heat and power adjustments for the front seats, a sunroof, smart device integration, and other features. The Cherokee is also available with a premium Alpine sound system, an 8-inch subwoofer, and other premium features. With many shared features across various trim levels, a detailed comparison with a test drive or two is in order.

Performance

One of the areas where the differences between the 2020 Jeep Cherokee and the 2020 Ford Escape is most noticeable is their performance capabilities. The Cherokee’s standard engine is a 180-horsepower, Tigershark 2.4-liter Multiair 2 design. Two other powertrains are also available. Active Drive Lock, Jeep Active Drive, and three available four-wheel-drive systems add to the Cherokee’s capabilities. The 2020 Ford Escape’s base engine is a 165-horsepower, four-cylinder EcoBoost design. Whether you choose this powertrain or other powertrains, the Escape has several driving modes.
