How Powerful is the 2026 Jeep Cherokee?
Jeep's 2026 Cherokee debuts with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, paired with two electric motors for a combined output of around 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque.
- Efficiency is a standout: it's rated for about 37 mpg combined, helping you save at the pump.
- Despite being a hybrid, the Cherokee maintains standard all-wheel drive thanks to Jeep's Active Drive I system, which even lets the rear axle disconnect to boost fuel economy when 4x4 isn't needed.
- It still hauls: towing capacity is rated at 3,500 pounds, and Jeep claims impressive water-fording ability, making this not just efficient, but truly capable. This powertrain proves you don't have to compromise: you get hybrid fuel savings and genuine Jeep capability.
What's New for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee's Exterior?
The 2026 Cherokee's exterior embraces a bold, more angular design. Its upright, squared-off silhouette, combined with a rugged seven-slot grille and distinctive LED lighting, gives a confident, muscular presence. Ground clearance has risen to about 8 inches, improving both trail-readiness and visual command. Inside, the cabin feels more spacious and functional. Jeep claims about 30% more cargo space compared to the previous generation, making it ideal for road trips, work gear, or grocery runs. Materials throughout the interior are thoughtfully selected for longevity, making it resilient against daily wear from kids, pets, and weekend gear.

Advanced Technology for the Modern Driver
The 2026 Cherokee's tech is designed to enhance, not complicate, your driving life. A 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen offers intuitive access to infotainment, apps, navigation, and settings. Beneath, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster displays hybrid power flow, speed, and other critical driving information with crystal-clear graphics. Connectivity comes easy, thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus an available wireless charging pad to keep your phone topped off. Safety and driver support are equally strong: the Cherokee includes Active Driving Assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, and intersection collision assist for confidence on busy roads. Jeep also bundles in Connect One services at no extra cost for 10 years: that means over-the-air software updates, remote vehicle controls via smartphone, and built-in emergency calling.
