Sporty SUVs could take a few notes from the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. After all, high-end performance and interactive tech features are more than enough to satisfy modern cravings. Add in a set of cutting-edge safety systems, and you have a Jeep that’s built with customer appreciation in mind. Here are five of the Cherokee’s most exciting features.
-
Trim Variety
Choosing your perfect trim could prove daunting given the extensive list of options. You have the Latitude, which starts at $23,995, followed by the Latitude Plus, Limited, and Overland. All are available in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The 4×4 lineup adds a little something extra with the inclusion of the Trailhawk and Trailhawk Elite trims, both geared for off-road maneuvering.

Exterior
Looking for an SUV that’s sporty and refined? You can find all that with the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. It features shiny aluminum wheels with sizes ranging from 17 to 19 inches, full LED lighting, and heated outside mirrors. You also have the option to add a dual-pane panoramic sunroof. The Overland goes even further and adds to your package a power liftgate and acoustic glass for the front door and windshield.

Performance
Two standard engines power the all-new Cherokee — and both are just as big as they are capable. A 2.4-liter MultiAir engine gets up to 180 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. A 3.2-liter 24-valve V6 is next in line and outputs 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. An optional 2.0-liter DOHC turbo engine produces 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. We round out this list of hardware with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of performance, the Jeep Cherokee does well on its own to keep up with demanding surfaces. A Selec-Terrain Traction Management System for 4×4 models offers excellent control in a variety of conditions, including snow and mud. Opt for the Trailhawk or Trailhawk Elite for an exclusive off-road suspension, protective skid plates, and a 32.2-degree departure angle.

Interior
You’ll find plenty to love inside this SUV’s cabin. Standards include illuminated front cup holders, rear heating ducts, and an electronics storage bin. On the optional side, heated and ventilated front seats with power lumbar support are available.
In terms of media and infotainment services, there are plenty of both for ultimate convenience. For instance, the Cherokee packed features such as a touch-screen display, smartphone integration, and Bluetooth connectivity with voice-recognition software. Plus, the Overland offers five years of SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link services so you can stay up-to-date on traffic and road conditions. The latter also has HD radio and GPS navigation.

Safety
Peace of mind isn’t hard to come by in the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. It boasts an enhanced accident-response system that automatically unlocks the doors and alerts others of your situation. You’ll also find supplemental and multistage airbags and a keyless entry system with panic alarm. The Limited, Overland, and Trailhawk Elite also get upgrades for their lane departure and full-speed collision mitigation warning systems.
