2019 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2019 Mazda CX-5

Finding an SUV that delivers bold performance and a hi-tech interior can leave Corpus Christi drivers stumped. At Allen Samuels CDJR Aransas Pass we compare the 2019 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2019 Mazda CX-5, which both offer exciting interior features like infotainment systems, 7-inch touchscreens, and Bluetooth capability. Where they differ, though, is in how well they perform — and the options you’ll have.


Engine Options

Are you a driver who needs an SUV engineered for off-road? What about one built for the daily commute? When we look at the 2019 Jeep Cherokee engine options, it’s clear that there actually are options, three of them:

  • 2.4L TIGERSHARK® MULTIAIR® 2 Engine
  • 3.2L Pentastar® V6 Engine
  • 2.0L Turbo Engine

The Mazda CX-5, on the other hand, only offers two powertrains, each paired to a 6-speed automatic (the Cherokee sports a more advanced 9-speed automatic transmission).

Towing

The additional engine options of the Jeep Cherokee deliver impressive towing capabilities compared to that of the Mazda CX-5:

  • Jeep Cherokee Towing: The Cherokee offers a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 lbs and a base towing capacity of 2,000 lbs.
  • Mazda CX-5 Towing: The CX-5 max towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.

Towing is made easier on the Cherokee with standard Trailer Sway Damping and available Flat Tow Wiring Kit.

Off-Road Capability

When it comes to off-road capabilities, SUV shoppers in Port Lavaca know that it is impossible to top a Jeep. While the CX-5 does include i-ACTIV AWD, it simply can’t keep up with the off-road features of the Cherokee:

  • Trail Rated® Badge: This badge is a marker that the Cherokee has been put to the test in maneuverability, traction, articulation, water fording, and ground clearance.
  • Jeep 4×4 Systems: Choose between the Jeep® Active Drive I 4×4 System, Jeep® Active Drive II 4×4 System, and Jeep® Active Drive Lock 4×4 System for unmatched off-road performance.
  • Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System: Boost your Cherokee performance with five drive modes including Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud, and Rock.

You won’t find any comparable features on the CX-5.
