2018 Mazda CX-5 VS 2018 Jeep Cherokee: Design

Despite an identical wheelbase length, the 2018 Mazda CX-5 gives you a roomy interior and a tighter turning circle than the 2018 Jeep Cherokee. As a result, you'll have more room for cargo and plenty of space for passengers, and the Mazda CX-5 is even easier to park. You'll get improved visibility at night with long-lasting LED headlights standard on every Mazda CX-5. The Cherokee only gives you halogen lights. You'll even get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob standard on the 2018 Mazda CX-5, for a premium feel that still costs even less than the base 2018 Jeep Cherokee.

2018 Mazda CX-5 VS 2018 Jeep Cherokee: Performance

There's just one engine available inside the 2018 Mazda CX-5, the 2.5L SKYACTIV® four-cylinder. It's efficient, earning more estimated MPG than the 2018 Jeep Cherokee in EPA testing, thanks to technologies like cylinder deactivation. This is the first four-cylinder engine in the world available with this technology, which turns off two of the engine's four cylinders when at comfortable cruising speeds, using less fuel. You still get a handful more horsepower and torque compared to the base 2018 Jeep Cherokee, as well.

2018 Mazda CX-5 VS 2018 Jeep Cherokee: Safety

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee has already experienced two official recalls, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2018 Mazda CX-5 hasn't had any. It also outperformed the Cherokee in NHTSA crash tests, earning a perfect 5 stars in the frontal crash test. The Cherokee only managed a 4-star rating. And if that weren't enough, there are some active driver assistance features available on the Mazda CX-5 you just can't get on any 2018 Jeep Cherokee. You can equip your 2018 Mazda CX-5 with lane keep assist, which automatically corrects your steering to keep you safely centered in your lane, and adaptive front lighting, which will allow your headlights to turn in tandem with your steering to better illuminate corners and bends in the road. Neither of these features can be found on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee.
