Compare the 2018 Ford Explorer to the 2018 Jeep Cherokee in Springfield

When you're in the market for a new SUV for life in Springfield, there are many options and that can be overwhelming at times. We're here to take the confusion and frustration out of your SUV shopping experience. If you're looking at the Jeep Cherokee for your next SUV in Chester, we encourage you to take a look at the Ford Explorer instead. Take a look at the features outlined below to notice why the Ford Explorer beats the Cherokee.

Performance and Capability

  • The Explorer offers a hearty twin-turbo V6 engine option, leaving the Cherokee engines feeling underpowered.
  • The Cherokee also gets comparable fuel-economy ratings to the Explorer, even with smaller engine options. You'll be able to get more powerful engine, for the same miles per gallon estimate.
  • The Jeep Cherokee might be better for off-roading adventures, but the Explorer is a well-rounded SUV offering seamless transitions between rough roads to city streets with ease.
  • They do both offer the same towing capacity at a maximum of 2,000-pounds when properly equipped.

Interior Comforts and Technology

  • The Explorer offers seating for 7 adults, compared to the Cherokee which only holds five adults. The seats are spacious and comfortable, perfect for road trips, daily driving, and everything in between for life in Philadelphia.

  • The Explorer offers a spacious 151.7 cubic feet of cargo space, compared to the cramped 105.4 cubic feet of the Cherokee. This added space translates to a more comfortable ride for everyone you pack up in Wilmington.
  • As you might expect, cargo space is also larger with the Explorer, offering 80.7 cubic feet when you fold the rear seats down, while the Cherokee can only hold 54.9 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded.
  • Another benefit of choosing the Ford Explorer is the fact that you'll get the advanced SYNC 3® infotainment system that's available, along with smart-phone integration included standard, a feature you'd have to pay more for on the Cherokee.
