About the Jeep Cherokee

Built on a rich legacy of authentic style and go-anywhere performance, the iconic Jeep Cherokee remains the ultimate choice for drivers that are eager to get out and explore the path less traveled. Featuring your choice of two capable engines and 3 different variations of the proven Jeep® Active Drive 4X4 system – every Cherokee is engineered to excel where the tarmac turns to trails. To match its rugged performance capabilities, exterior styling elements of the Cherokee include its signature seven-slot front grille, available front recovery hooks, and optional bold 19-inch alloy wheels. When you need to escape from the harsh wilderness of the outdoors, a luxuriously-appointed interior awaits you with available premium features like heated leather upholstery, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and a Nine-Speaker Alpine® Premium Sound System. Connected technology is yet another strong suit of the Jeep Cherokee, featuring the responsive Uconnect® 4 infotainment system across the entire model range. Last but not least, every Cherokee comes standard with a full suite of active safety features to provide a helping hand when you need it the most.

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.

Jeep Cherokee Features

Go-Anywhere Performance

Infused with Trail Rated® principles, the Jeep Cherokee is engineered to go where other compact SUVs fear to venture. Beneath the hood, drivers can choose between a standard 3.2L Pentastar™ V6 (271 HP / 239 TQ) or available 2.0L Turbo I-4 engine (270 HP / 295 TQ), each paired with a responsive 9-speed automatic transmission. For maximum capability, the available Jeep® Active Drive Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) System features a unique disconnecting rear axle that adds efficiency to its exceptional capability. 4X4 Cherokee models benefit further from a Jeep Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System, giving you the power to take on Mother Nature’s toughest conditions. Individual drive modes include Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud, and Rock. Cherokee Trailhawk models stand out with their red tow recovery hooks and off-road accent-color fascias with rear fascia skid plates for added protection on the trails. Bold wheel flares prominently showcase the striking available off-road aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires of the Jeep Cherokee.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Elevating your drive by keeping you connected to your social circle, every Jeep Cherokee comes standard with the innovative Uconnect® 4 infotainment system with 8.4-inch touchscreen.

Better still, standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration makes accessing your favorite apps and media as simple as it would be on your smartphone. Drivers can also use the available Multi-View Display that instantly scrolls through vehicle data, accessed via steering-wheel buttons. You can monitor vehicle alerts, fuel consumption, and available navigation functions. For additional peace of mind, the Cherokee comes standard with a comprehensive array of active safety features.
