The Cherokee includes all-wheel drive on every trim and tows up to 3,500 pounds, more than double the CR-V’s rating. The CR-V starts front-wheel drive with all-wheel drive available, and it is tuned mainly for on-road comfort rather than towing or trails.
The CR-V starts several thousand dollars lower and, in hybrid form, matches the Cherokee’s roughly 37 mpg. The difference is that the Cherokee includes the hybrid and all-wheel drive as standard, while the CR-V reaches its best mileage only when you step up to the hybrid.
The Cherokee’s hybrid makes 210 horsepower with standard all-wheel-drive traction. The gas CR-V uses a 190-horsepower turbo, with a hybrid option that adds electric torque and better efficiency.
Choose the CR-V for a lower entry price and Honda’s strong reputation for resale. Choose the Cherokee for a standard hybrid, standard all-wheel drive, and far more towing. At ALM CDJR Perry, a new Cherokee can add ALM VIP Club benefits and our Included Lifetime Warranty on qualifying vehicles.
