Not only does the 2021 Jeep Cherokee beat the 2021 Chevy Equinox in terms of performance and standard safety systems, but it also is better equipped on the top-tier trim.
 

While both compact SUVs ride on 18-inch wheels and include hands-free power liftgates, the Cherokee is available with a robust V6 engine and plenty of additional elements that the Equinox doesn’t have.
 

The Cherokee Limited includes comforts such as driver seat memory settings and dual-zone climate control. It also comes with a panoramic sunroof to ventilate the cabin. Meanwhile, the Equinox Premier gets ambient lighting.
 

As for upgraded entrainment, the Cherokee Limited gets a 9-speaker stereo while the Equinox uses a 6-speaker unit.
 

Finally, the Cherokee comes with an auto-dimming rearview mirror and adaptive cruise control. In order to get any driving aids on the Equinox, you’ll have to add the Confidence and Convenience II package.

When it comes to standard safety systems, it’s hard to beat the new 2021 Jeep Cherokee. The 2021 Chevy Equinox certainly tries, but it ultimately comes up short.
 

Both compact SUVs are equipped with forward collision warning. Detecting oncoming obstacles and alerting you to the potential threat is what this driving aid does. If no action is taken to avoid a crash, the feature will activate the emergency brakes.
 

You will also find lane-departure assist on each vehicle. Keeping tabs on the lines in the road, it will let you know if you begin to drift. It can also guide you back to the centre if necessary.
 

Where these two models differentiate is with blindspot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. All of the Jeep Cherokee trims come with these two elements. However, the Equinox only gets these if you opt for the mid-level LT trim. You will also have to spring for the Confidence and Convenience Package.

Over the last few years, the market for compact crossovers has exploded across Canada. Offering more space for families and better off-roading capabilities than sedans, these models have gained rapid popularity.
 

With so many to choose from, you might be wondering which small SUV has the most power. Pitting the 2021 Jeep Cherokee against the 2021 Chevy Equinox, you can see which vehicle reigns supreme.
 

First, the Cherokee can be fitted with three different engines including a robust V6. Meanwhile, the Equinox is only available with two motors, and both are 4-cylinder units. Let’s look at the numbers for the standards.
 

You will find a 2.4-litre TigerShark MultiAir Inline-4 under the hood of the Cherokee. It generates 180 hp and has a maximum towing limit of 907 kg (2,000 lbs). On the other hand, the Equinox features a tiny 1.5-litre 4-cylinder that pushes out 170 hp and can only haul up to 680 kg (1,500 lbs).
