At Ethan Hunt Automotive LLC, I’m all about helping you find vehicles that bring together comfort, performance, and peace of mind. Today, I’m taking a deep dive into three standout SUVs that each bring their own charm to the table: the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier, and the 2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium. All three offer the versatile Sport Utility 4D body style and are excellent choices depending on what you value most in your daily drive.
Whether you’re looking for luxury with power, fuel-efficient performance, or all-weather confidence, this comparison will help shed light on which SUV might suit you best.
Performance That Suits Every Lifestyle
Under the Hood
The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland is all about smooth strength. Its V6, VVT, 3.6-liter engine delivers reliable horsepower for both highway commutes and light off-road excursions. This Grand Cherokee is a pleasure to command whether you’re in city traffic or heading out to the trails.
Moving to the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier, this SUV brings efficiency to the forefront with a 4-cylinder, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. It provides a refined drive with strong pickup and excellent fuel economy—perfect for longer commutes or family errands around town.
Then there’s the 2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium, which features a 2.5-liter PZEV 4-cylinder engine that’s known for long-term reliability and smooth operation. Matched with Subaru’s standard all-wheel drive, it’s built for confidence in rain, snow, and everything in between.
Comfort and Utility Meet in the Cabin
Space and Style
The Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland impresses with a Brown interior that exudes premium feel. Supportive seating and a thoughtfully laid-out cabin create an atmosphere of quiet sophistication.
In the Chevrolet Equinox Premier, the Black interior is spacious and upscale, offering generous headroom and legroom for passengers. It feels tailored for modern families who want a balance between form and function.
As for the Subaru Forester, the cabin feels open and airy with its Black interior and elevated seating position. It’s practical, too, with one of the most generous cargo areas in its class.
Tech That Keeps You Connected
Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate what all three of these SUVs bring to the table. The Grand Cherokee Overland includes built-in navigation and an intuitive infotainment system, with smartphone integration that makes every trip seamless.
The Equinox Premier steps it up with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad, offering effortless connectivity for busy families and professionals on the move.
In the Forester Premium, Subaru’s infotainment system is responsive and easy to use. Bluetooth comes standard, and the available panoramic sunroof elevates the drive, quite literally.
Safety Comes First
All three of these SUVs were designed with safety as a top priority.
The Grand Cherokee Overland comes with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control for enhanced situational awareness.
The Chevrolet Equinox Premier features lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and automatic emergency braking—a suite of tools that provides great value in real-world driving.
Subaru’s commitment to safety is on full display with the Forester’s Eyesight Driver Assist Technology, which bundles adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and pre-collision braking for all-around peace of mind.
Built to Fit Your Budget
