At Tri State Auto, we understand that shopping for a vehicle on a budget doesn’t mean settling for less. That’s why we’ve gathered three impressive options that combine affordability, reliability, and features that make them stand out. In this comparison, we’re taking a closer look at the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox FWD LS, the 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude FWD, and the 2015 Audi Q7 Quattro Premium Plus. Each brings its own strengths to the table, appealing to drivers with different needs—from practicality to luxury.

Everyday Versatility: The Chevrolet Equinox

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox is a strong contender for drivers who prioritize space, fuel efficiency, and modern design. With 102,586 miles, this SUV has proven reliability and still has a lot of road left ahead. Its 1.5L 170 horsepower engine is efficient enough for city driving yet strong enough for weekend road trips. The Silver exterior combined with a Gray interior gives it a clean, refined look that fits any setting. For only $13,990, the Equinox represents a great value for everyday functionality.

Low Mileage Excellence: The Jeep Cherokee Latitude

Next in line is the 2018 Jeep Cherokee Latitude FWD, with an impressively low mileage of just 17,177 miles. If you’re looking for a relatively newer used vehicle with minimal wear, this one stands out. The 2.4L engine gives it enough strength to handle city drives and weekend getaways with confidence. It sports a Beige exterior and matching interior, offering a warm, upscale look that feels cozy and polished. At $13,990, the Cherokee provides nearly-new quality at a pre-owned price.

Luxury and Power Combined: The Audi Q7

The 2015 Audi Q7 Quattro Premium Plus takes this comparison into luxury territory. With 136,347 miles, it has seen more of the road, but it makes up for that with its upscale performance and build quality. Powered by a 3.0L 280 horsepower engine, the Q7 offers dynamic performance whether you’re navigating city traffic or tackling long-distance trips. Its Silver exterior and elegant cabin design create a premium experience that still feels modern today. Also priced at $13,990, it delivers incredible value for buyers seeking affordable luxury.

Comparing Performance on the Road

All three vehicles deliver a comfortable and capable driving experience, but each caters to a different style. The Equinox is light on its feet, perfect for suburban commuting and daily errands. Its smooth steering and fuel efficiency make it ideal for practical drivers. The Cherokee, with its agile handling and slightly stronger engine, bridges the gap between utility and comfort. It drives like a more rugged crossover, ready for the unexpected. The Audi Q7, meanwhile, is tuned for performance. It offers a composed ride with impressive highway power and Quattro all-wheel drive confidence, making it the most performance-oriented of the three.

Inside the Cabin: Comfort, Space, and Tech

Step into the Equinox, and you’re greeted by a spacious interior that comfortably fits five passengers, with intuitive controls and easy-to-clean materials. The Cherokee’s interior feels warm and modern, with quality finishes and a well-designed dashboard that reflects Jeep’s commitment to function and style. The Audi Q7 takes interior quality to another level. Leather seating, premium accents, and advanced technology create a luxurious environment perfect for drivers who want comfort with a touch of prestige.

Each model offers connectivity options, user-friendly infotainment systems, and safety features designed to make every journey safer and more enjoyable. Whether it’s the Equinox’s practicality, the Cherokee’s tech-forward cabin, or the Q7’s premium feel, each vehicle delivers its own type of value.

Breaking Down the Real Value

All three vehicles are priced at $13,990, but what you get for your money depends on what you prioritize. The Equinox delivers on space and low operating costs. It’s a great choice for families or commuters who need a solid all-rounder. The Cherokee’s ultra-low mileage adds significant appeal, offering a newer feel at a used price. And the Audi Q7, despite higher mileage, delivers features and driving satisfaction you’d typically find in much more expensive models.

Long-term value also involves maintenance. The Equinox and Cherokee will likely have lower upkeep costs, while the Q7 may require more frequent service due to its luxury components—but for many, the trade-off is worth the comfort and performance it offers.
