Interested in the Ford Escape?
Are You Thinking About A Ford Escape? The Ford Escape is a well-known Compact Crossover with a great reputation. It comes with many great features. But before you settle on the Escape, consider the Jeep Cherokee and all it has to offer.
The Jeep Cherokee is the original model in this segment, dating back to 1974 as a body-on-frame compact-sized 4-wheel drive, 2-or 4-door wagon for outdoor enthusiasts. In 1984, the Cherokee switched to unibody construction but maintained its off-road capability. The model was redesigned and named Liberty in 2001 but returned in 2014 as a thoroughly modern crossover. Over that time, an entire category of crossovers has emerged to compete with the Cherokee. This segment has now expanded to be the largest automotive category in the U.S. The Cherokee has grown in sophistication over the years but remains an off-road vehicle true to the Jeep brand. Jeep Cherokee is positioned as a premium model in this class, offering only well-equipped models with standard features such as leather seating and four-wheel drive. All of this is backed by a 36 Month/36,000 Mile Basic Warranty and a 60 Month/60,000 Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty with 60 Month/60,000 Mile Roadside Assistance Support. When you are looking for a compact crossover that can take you anywhere you want to go, the Jeep Cherokee is the first stop and top of the very long list of the Compact SUV list. Get yours today!
