What are the engine options for the Cherokee?
There are three engine options available for the Jeep Cherokee, and each one delivers in terms of power and capability. The standard engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque available at the base trim level. As you move higher up the trim mountain, you get more powerful engines, such as a 3.2-liter V6 that pumps out 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. The last engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that delivers a solid 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Every version of the Cherokee connects to a smooth sailing nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel-drive is standard on the first few trims of the Cherokee, while all-wheel-drive is optional. Higher trims, like the Limited and Trailhawk, have all-wheel-drive standard.
What are a few of the standard features for the Cherokee?
On top of all of the extraordinary power that the Cherokee possesses, there are also quite a bit of unique standard features here as well. The base trim is the Altitude, and it is very well-equipped with features like cloth/premium vinyl seats, air conditioning, cruise control, dual USB ports, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and LED lighting. There are plenty of safety features available here, too, as the Cherokee is dedicated to keeping you and your family safe no matter where you travel! These standard safety items include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Still not convinced? Well, take a gander at these tech features! At the base Altitude, you get things like an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
What do higher trims of the Cherokee offer?
If you decide on one of the higher trims of the Cherokee, you are sure to be blown away by all of its amazing features. Take, for instance, the spectacular Latitude Lux trim, which comes with leather seats, a 115V power outlet, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 7-inch TFT color display in the gauge cluster, a power liftgate, and a universal garage door opener. New to the Cherokee lineup this year is the X trim which has an off-road attitude with features like Active Drive I AWD system with Selec-Terrain. There is also an appearance package that comes with unique cloth seats. If you want to travel further into the wilderness, the Trailhawk trim has special wheels, a black hood decal, functional skid plates, and red tow hooks. Additional features include off-road suspension, heavy-duty engine cooling, and the Active Drive II AWD system with a 2-speed transfer case, all-terrain tires, hill descent control, and Selec-Speed control. The most premium of all the trims is the Limited, which adds many luxury items such as a sunroof, leather seats, Alpine premium audio, and more tech features like adaptive cruise control, side distance warning, and automatic high beams.
