In a head to head competition of the 2020 Jeep Cherokee against the 2020 Ford Explorer, you might think the smaller Cherokee is outmatched by the larger Explorer. But the 2020 Cherokee is actually a formidable match with the Explorer in many ways, some unexpected. 

At Woody Folsom CDJR in Baxley, Georgia, we're going to show how far the Cherokee can hold its own against the Explorer. Take a look with us and see for yourself!

 

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee's Engines Beat Ford's in Fuel-Efficiency

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee has three engine options: a 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine, a 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir 2 inline 4-cylinder engine, and a 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine. The three Cherokee engines are all more fuel-efficient than their Ford Explorer counterparts. 






The Cherokee's 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine gets up to 23 miles per gallon (MPG) in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, for a combined 26 MPG. The Ford Explorer's 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost inline 4-cylinder engine can only manage 21 MPG city and 29 MPG highway, for a combined 24 MPG. Cherokee wins. 

 









Cherokee's 2.4L Tigershark 4-cylinder squeezes more out of a gallon of fuel than the Explorer's 2.3L 4-cylinder EcoBoost, even though the Tigershark is larger. The Tigershark engine gets up to 22/31 city/highway MPG, while the Explorer's 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder only gets 21/29 city/highway MPG. Cherokee still wins. 











It's the Cherokee's 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine that really puts the wallop on Explorer's 3.3L V6 engine. While Ford's 3.3L V6 gets only 16/23 city/highway MPG, the 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine gets a much higher 20/29 city/highway MPG. 


A more fuel-efficient engine gets you more for your money on gas and saves time at the pump. If you like saving money (who doesn't?) we'd opt for the Cherokee over the Explorer.
