What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2022
For 2022, Jeep has slimmed down the Cherokee model range to a total of 4 trims. However, a new Cherokee X model makes its debut with unique exterior graphics, off-road performance features, and an exclusive interior. All Cherokee models now come standard with a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen display, replacing last year’s 7-inch unit. Finally, Cherokee Latitude Lux models gain a number of new standard features including a 7-inch gauge-cluster display, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 115-volt power outlet, and more.
