It comes with Jeep's seven-slot grille, all-season tires, 17-inch wheels, fog lights, narrow automatic LED headlights, fog lights, daytime running lights, perimeter approach lights, turn signals for the heated side mirrors, and a mesh lower grille. Tire-fill alert lets you know when you fill your tires to the correct air pressure. You'll also get a rear spoiler, roof rails, rain-sensing windshield wipers, tinted windows, and a rear wiper. You can choose 18- or 19-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, a windshield wiper de-icer, and an acoustic windshield as well.

You can choose a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque, or a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, turbocharged motor that provides 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. You can also select a 3.2-liter V-6 that gives 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. All three motors use a nine-speed automatic transmission with overdrive capabilities and a manual mode.

The Cherokee is maneuverable and fun to drive on tough trails or the highway, and it can tow up to 4,500 pounds. It can also stay in front-wheel drive to conserve fuel and then activate four-wheel-drive mode if you have the correct options equipped. You can choose an off-road suspension for handling rough terrain or a traction management system with snow, sand/mud, sport, and auto modes. The Trailhawk comes with a rock mode as well. The 2021 Cherokee can travel 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the open road.

The interior of the 2021 Jeep Cherokee is as comfortable as its exterior is tough.

Additional options include dual-zone climate control, heated and cooled seats with memory settings, navigation, a CD player, and extra storage underneath the cargo floor.
