Most vehicles these days come with some sort of infotainment system, and the Ford Edge and Jeep Cherokee are no exceptions. However, these systems do have some differences between them.

The first thing you'll notice is the screen size. While the Jeep Cherokee comes with a 7-inch display, the touchscreen in the Ford Edge is much larger, measuring in at 12 inches. Plus, the Edge comes with the incredibly innovative SYNC® 4A system, which has functions that you can't get with Jeep's Uconnect® system.

The SYNC® 4A system lets you wirelessly connect your smartphone instead of having to keep it plugged in, like you would in the Cherokee. Plus, it features automatic software updates for the latest capabilities offered by Ford, access to Ford's apps like Waze and Ford+Alexa, plus the ability to control the system with simple, conversational commands.

An SUV Meant for Your Everyday Commute

The Jeep Cherokee is known to provide smooth performance, along with off-roading capabilities when configured properly. What you will find with the Edge, though, is that it is more suitable for normal, everyday commuting, thanks to the performance it provides.

With the Ford Edge, its standard engine delivers 250 horsepower while also providing efficient performance. It also comes standard with an all-wheel drive system, which can adjust where engine power goes to make sure you enjoy controlled, stable driving even when the roads become slick from rain, snow, or ice. With the Cherokee, its standard engine only generates 180 horsepower. Plus, it comes standard with front-wheel drive, which isn't as adept at handling winter weather conditions.
