4x4 suggestions?

My pregnant daughter is moving with her husband to the Peak District a is looking to buy a Jeep Cherokee or Audi Q5 - she wants the Cherokee her husband wants her to try the Audi Q5. She will be travelling around narrow roads in wintry weather and I want her to have the best advice for these daily journeys to work. What do you think of these two?

A Jeep Cherokee is a much more capable off roader and is narrower than a Q5. But a Q5 is a much better trimmed vehicle that carries far more status. But benefit from fitting either winter tyres or the new compromise all weather tyres such as Michelin CrossClimate or Nokian Weatherproof.
