2019 Jeep Cherokee

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee is available in six different trims: Latitude, Latitude Plus, Altitude, Trailhawk, Limited, and Overland. Although the design has been revised and updated, some Jeep signature design features remain, such as the seven-slot grille. All models come with standard LED daytime running lamps, headlamps, and fog lamps. Streamline is key in the new Jeep Cherokee design, where small details matter like having the license plate in the center of the liftgate. A liftgate that, by the way, is foot-activated.

When it comes to engine options, Jeep Cherokee keeps it simple. All models come with a nine-speed automatic transmission. If you want a car with a powerful engine, opt for the Overland or Trailhawk trims, which come with a 3.2-liter V-6 engine with 271 horsepower. Every other model comes with a 2.4-liter engine with 180 horsepower, which many may consider as being enough for an SUV.

Overall, driving a Jeep Cherokee is a safe and reliable experience, particularly when tested in rough ground. But don't assume this car is perfect for off-road adventures only. For drivers looking for a car for daily errands and trips, this is a reliable and comfortable ride. When it comes to fuel economy, the Cherokee is one of the best in its class with an average 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.

If the exterior design has gotten you excited, wait until you see the choice of interiors in this surprisingly roomy five-seater. Comfort meets style with leather interior options in all models. If you want the one that has it all, then go for the Overland. As for technology, the Latitude, Latitude Plus, and Altitude models are equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen display. The Limited and Overland models take it up a notch with an 8.4-inch display. The user-friendly Uconnect system comes standard in all trims. Regarding cargo capacity, if the 54.7 cubic feet is not enough, you can use the extra storage under the cargo floor.

Safety in the Jeep Cherokee is taken very seriously, and it starts at the sturdy high-strength steel body, built to decrease the impact of a potential crash. On top of that, the rear back up camera and eight airbags throughout the vehicle come standard in every model to ensure maximum safety for all passengers at all times. Top available safety features include blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and rear and front park assist system. Need more to make a decision?
