Are you trying to decide between the 2022 Jeep Cherokee and the 2022 Toyota RAV4? If you’re looking for an SUV offering powertrain options, the Cherokee – which is available now at St. Paul Dodge – far exceeds its Japanese counterpart.
The 2022 Cherokee offers Alberta drivers the choice of three engines, starting with a 2.4L four-cylinder with 180 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. Moving up is a more robust 3.2L V6 that generates 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque. Finally, a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder ensures spirited performance with 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Regardless of the block you choose, all engines pair to a nine-speed automatic transmission delivering smooth shifting capabilities.
The 2022 Toyota RAV4 only matches the power of the Cherokee’s base engine with a 2.5L four-cylinder. This block generates 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque – but that’s where it ends. The RAV4 is not available with a V6 or any other gasoline engine. What you see is what you get – including an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Another advantage of the 2022 Cherokee is its trailering prowess. The Jeep SUV’s base engine surpasses the RAV4’s 680-kg hauling capability with a maximum 907-kg towing capacity. The V6 and turbocharged four-cylinder can also tow an impressive 2,041 and 1,814 kg, respectively. Whether you pull a boat or a camper, the Cherokee is well-equipped to handle your towing demands.
