Although both vehicles are known for their tremendous off-road pedigree, only the Forester comes equipped with standard all-wheel drive. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard on all Forester models, offering the utmost traction and control when facing off with rugged terrain around Arizona. The Cherokee does offer a 4x4 system, but comes with standard front-wheel drive.

All 2020 Forester models come equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Boxer engine that produces 182-horsepower. The Cherokee falls slightly short with a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 180-horsepower.

To help you save at the pump, the Forester offers up to 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. The Cherokee offers slightly less, offering up to 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

In addition to higher fuel economy, the Forester also offers 16.6 gallons of fuel capacity. The Cherokee falls slightly short with 15.8 gallons of fuel capacity.

Interior and Features

If you often find yourself needing more cargo space to fit your things, the Forester can provide you with it. Easily fold down the rear seats and take advantage of up to 76.1 cubic feet of cargo space. The Cherokee falls short with 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space.

Both vehicles offer impressive standard safety features, with blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-path detection on the Cherokee. The Forester comes with a standard Eyesight Driver Assist Technology system with pre-collision braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.

Both vehicles offer standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to help you keep in control of your vehicle on the road. But the Cherokee doesn't offer the amount of accommodations as the Forester.
