Our Feldman CDJR Woodhaven team has crafted this Jeep Cherokee vs. Hyundai Tucson comparison to help you decide confidently.

SUVs are versatile, which is good for drivers with an active lifestyle. Whether you prefer bike riding, hiking, or swimming, the Jeep Cherokee and the Hyundai Tucson can give you an energy boost to get your blood pumping.
The Jeep and the Hyundai have similar base engines, each outputting at least 180 horsepower and at least 170 lb-ft of torque. This amount of power is exciting and will ensure seamless acceleration.
If you are looking for more exhilarating power, the Cherokee has an available 2.0L Turbo engine that produces 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Talk about making a power move! Unfortunately, the Hyundai Tucson only has one engine available.
The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and the Hyundai Tucson XRT are the designated rugged-and-ready trims of these SUVs. However, the Jeep’s Trailhawk trim is the forerunner in the off-roading department thanks to its Trail Rated® Badge. This badge is a household item for Jeep models, and it indicates the Cherokee’s expertise in these key areas:
- Traction
- Water Fording
- Maneuverability
- Articulation
- Ground Clearance
On top of that reassurance, the Jeep comes with a standard Active Drive 4x4 system, which delivers precise handling and articulation on all roads or lack thereof. The Hyundai has standard Front Wheel Drive and available HTRAC All Wheel Drive.
Whether you’re navigating the bumpy trails of Rouch World Off Road Park, or cruising down Interstate 75, one thing will be apparent in both SUVs: They prioritize your comfort. The Jeep’s and Hyundai’s cabins are driver- and passenger-centric, meaning you can expect a cozy ride wherever your travels take you.
You know those warm and fuzzy feelings you get in the pit of your stomach? The Jeep Cherokee and the Hyundai Tucson easily emulate those feelings in their cabins! In fact, both models will warm your heart with these amenities:
- Heated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
The difference? These features come standard on the Cherokee, whereas they’re all available with a trim upgrade on the Tucson.
The Jeep and the Hyundai have the comfort amenities you’re looking for. Do they have the space to match? Both SUVs are built to accommodate all your gear, like groceries, instrument cases, picnic baskets, or kayak oars. However, they truly shine in the passenger department. Which model has more space for your peeps?
- Jeep Cherokee Passenger Volume: 128 cubic feet
- Hyundai Tucson Passenger Volume: 108.2 cubic feet
With 20 more cubic feet of wiggle room available in the Cherokee, drivers and passengers of all sizes will feel comfortable no matter where they’re seated.
Long road trips and work commutes can be mended by some in-car entertainment. Good thing the Jeep Cherokee and the Hyundai Tucson have impressive infotainment suites on board! Which one offers even more convenience, though?
The Hyundai Tucson equips an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Jeep Cherokee has an 8.4-inch display connected to its Uconnect® 4C NAV system. Both models are compatible with smartphone integration, which helps you easily toggle your playlists or podcasts.
Only the Jeep comes with a standard navigation system! This feature will help you return to civilization after a week of camping under the stars or help you find new restaurants in town. A navigation system is available on the Hyundai with an upgrade.
You have a wild side, and the adventure bug strikes often. Although you have all the know-how you need to tackle dirt roads and uneven terrain, the Cherokee has a failsafe for you: Off-Road Pages. This standard feature keeps you in the loop as you escape the asphalt. It displays off-roading insights, such as:
- Wheel articulation
- Transmission temperature
- Suspension height
- Drive modes
Plus, all the information is conveniently located in the Jeep’s central display. Without a similar amenity in the Hyundai, you’ll have to rely on your own expertise out on the trails.
The 2023 Cherokee and the 2023 Tucson are worthy rivals, proving that either will work for your lifestyle and look good in your driveway. However, with its heightened power and capabilities, cozier cabin, and convenient technology, the Jeep Cherokee outcompetes the Hyundai Tucson.
