Jeep Cherokee vs Ford Escape

Tech-Savvy: Uconnect® vs SYNC® 3 

Both the 2021 Ford Escape and the Jeep Cherokee provide advanced tech systems for convenience, entertainment, and navigation. The Jeep Cherokee comes with the available Uconnect® 4C NAV system, while the Ford Escape offers the SYNC® 3 infotainment system.  

The optional Uconnect® 4C NAV has an 8.4-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay® compatibility, standard Android Auto™ integration, and Navigation. With the 2021 Jeep Cherokee navigation, drivers enjoy a personal co-pilot offering step-by-step directions to an intended destination. With this navigation system, you can also find ATMs, restaurants, and gas stations along your route for extra convenient pitstops. 

Over in the 2021 Ford Escape, the available SYNC® 3 infotainment system also offers Apple CarPlay® compatibility, Android Auto™ integration, and a similar navigation system on an 8-inch touchscreen display. The main difference between these two intuitive systems comes down to screen size. Larger screens are easier to read.
