The 2019 Jeep Cherokee and 2019 Honda HR-V are two of the top choices in the crossover SUV class. However, unlike the Honda HR-V, the 2019 Cherokee offers a capability that will make it equally adept at handling off-road driving conditions as it will on the pavement. Potential buyers of the new Jeep Cherokee will be able to choose a model with actual four-wheel-drive systems. All trim grades of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee that are equipped with four-wheel-drive will have the automaker's Selec-Terrain traction control system which offers five customizable settings: Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud and Rock. By comparison, the 2019 Honda does not offer anything even remotely coming close to this capability. In fact, the only drivetrain available with the 2019 Honda HR-V is front-wheel-drive.
