2022 Jeep Cherokee vs 2022 Toyota RAV4 Exterior

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee and the 2022 Toyota RAV4 have entirely different aesthetics. The 2022 RAV4 is angular with a protruding front. We find it blends in with other SUVs on the road and is not as masterfully designed as the 2022 Cherokee. The 2022 Cherokee holds true to that legendary Jeep style with world-class craftsmanship in every fit and finish. Bold and rugged, its curved body and stylish profile embody the spirit of adventure and reflect its capability. A robust front fascia, iconic seven‑slot grille, and sleek, slim LED headlights make the 2022 Cherokee stand out no matter where you go. The Altitude trim adds daring 18‑inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, and a hands-free power liftgate is offered on the optional package for effortless loading and unloading of cargo.

The Trailhawk is the ultimate off-roader 2022 Cherokee. Equipped with an Active Drive Lock 4x4 system, the Trailhawk is exceptional on all terrains and can even drive through water at depths of up to 19-inches. The Trailhawk has a remarkably high ground clearance of 8.7-inches compared to 8.4 inches on the 2022 RAV4. Add an optional package to the 2022 Cherokee and get heavy-duty engine cooling for more reliable off-roading. With the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, you can choose from Auto, Sport, Snow or Sand/Mud driving modes to get all-weather capability and optimal performance.

The 2022 Cherokee has incredible handling. It's solid with a firm suspension that controls body roll in corners without compromising the ride quality. Impacts are absorbed well, and a firm-feeling brake pedal along with steering that is nicely weighted and accurate provides a hefty driving experience. The 2022 RAV4, on the other hand, has suspension that's unsophisticated and unresponsive. The engine sounds coarse at high revs, and the drive overall is underwhelming.
