Jeep® is a brand synonymous with tough and durable SUVs, and the best of the bunch may very well be the 2021 Jeep Cherokee.
If you’re looking for a new Jeep Cherokee for sale, this is what you can expect.
Engines
You’ve got three engines to pick from with the 2021 Jeep Cherokee. The base is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that renders 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. An additional four-cylinder is a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that puts out 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Rounding out the lineup a 3.2-liter V6 offers 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. All engines are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
As for gas mileage, with the base engine, you will get 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.
Drivetrain
Front-wheel drive is standard in the Jeep Cherokee, but there are three types of four-wheel-drive systems available: Active Drive I, Active Drive II, and Active Drive Lock.
No matter which you go with, you will get good handling, and the excellent suspension system ensures that every ride is a smooth one.
Off-Road Ability
One of the really great things about the Jeep Cherokee is its versatility. While it performs very nicely on roads, it really excels off them. Any of the four-wheel-drive models offer fantastic off-road capability, but the Trailhawk is the real star of the show.
This comes with the Active Drive Lock system, an off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and a mechanical locking differential.
Towing
If you’ll need your Jeep Cherokee to do some towing, you’ll be happy with what it can do. While the base model can tow a respectable 2,000 lb, you can increase that to 4,500 lb with a properly equipped model. This number, by the way, is the best in class for compact SUVs.
