Jeep vs. Toyota: Horsepower & Torque

The Toyota RAV4 offers no options when it comes to what’s under the hood — every model comes fitted with a 203 hp, 184 lb-ft of torque 2.5L 4-cylinder. In contrast, the Jeep Cherokee lets you choose between these three impressive powerhouses:

  • 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir®: Standard for up to 180 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque.
  • 2.0L Turbo: Available for up to 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
  • 3.2L Pentastar® V6: Available for up to 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque.

Jeep vs. Toyota: Towing & Off-Roading

One reason drivers turn to the crossover SUV is to find models capable of handling off-road trails and hauling heavy loads from Conway to North Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, the Toyota RAV4 only ever tows up to 1,500 pounds to the Jeep Cherokee’s 4,500 pounds maximum rating. It also uses AWD systems best suited to on-road performance, whereas the Cherokee offers Trail Rated capability and the following off-road systems:

  • Jeep® Active Drive I 4×4
  • Jeep® Active Drive II 4×4
  • Jeep® Active Drive Lock 4×4

Jeep vs. Toyota: Interior Features

You’ll find a wide range of features available with both the Cherokee and the RAV4, but there are still a few amenities only offered by the Jeep. Highlights include:

  • 8.4-Inch Touchscreen: Provides a wide surface from which to control your interior environment.
  • SiriusXM Guardian™: Lets you connect remotely with your vehicle to access information, provide the Cherokee’s location, and more.
  • Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Full Stop: Recognizes open parking spaces, then takes care of steering as you operate the brake, accelerator, and gears.
