The 2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited and the 2021 Honda CR-V Black Edition are premium models that offer a variety of attractive interior and exterior features. However, these eye-catching components only add value if backed up by a solid engine and drivetrain. How do the two trims compare when you look under the hood?Â
Â
Transmission: CVT Drive Type: Real Time 4x4Â Traction Management: Vehicle Stability Assist Wheels: 19-inch Tires: P235/55 R19Â
The Cherokee Limited pairs a 3.2L V6 engine with a nine-speed automatic shifter. This feature alone puts it ahead of the less reliable continuous variable transmission (CVT) on the Honda. Meanwhile, the Jeep's Selec Terrain system lets you customise performance for sand, mud, snow, or pavement. The CR-V does not provide this level of control. Â

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee Altitude and 2021 Honda CR-V Touring are mid-trim SUVs that can handle a variety of tasks. Though they are compact, both have impressive towing capabilities. What size trailer can these vehicles accommodate?Â
Â

Honda CR-V Touring
Engine: 1.5L Turbocharged I-4 Torque: 179 lb.-ft Horsepower: 190 Max Towing: 680 kg

The 2021 Jeep Compass and 2021 Nissan Kicks can both accommodate five passengers. The primary question for these compact SUVs, however, is whether or not riders can travel in comfort. What kind of the back-seat experience do they offer?

Capacity: Five Rear Seat Legroom: 978 mm Shoulder Room: 1400 Hip Room: 1250 Seat Design: 60/40 split-folding bench with retractable armrest
