There's no doubt that the Subaru Outback is appealing to a wide range of drivers. Although, some key differences make the Jeep Cherokee the better option to purchase or lease. Here's how they stack up against one another:

• The new Jeep Cherokee stands out from many rivals for its cabin design and quality. This Jeep model comes with many high-end materials that contribute to a classy, upscale feel. The Subaru Outback's interior is less opulent and focuses more on practicality than design.
• Another differentiating factor is the powertrain options for each SUV. The Jeep Cherokee offers three engine options, topping out at 270 horsepower. The Subaru Outback offers two engine options, neither generating as much horsepower as the Jeep Cherokee's optional four-cylinder.
• When it comes to max towing capacity, the Jeep Cherokee near Kalkaska comes out on top over the Subaru Outback. This Jeep SUV has a max towing capacity of 4,500 pounds, plenty for pulling your boat or a loaded trailer. The Outback is only able to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
• Both models come with a slew of advanced safety features. However, the Jeep Cherokee comes standard with blind-spot monitoring, giving you added confidence when switching lanes. The Subaru Outback does not come standard with this safety technology.
