"The Jeep Cherokee is elegant, comfortable and capable off-road, but it can not keep its main competitors when it comes to the everyday driving is "
The Jeep Cherokee is certainly not without heritage. the first SUV in the world, it was essential the benefits of increased driving and seat position in highlighting and redefining well as we thought about large family cars and 4x4s. Since its introduction over 30 years ago, things have moved on. While the Cherokee now developed a completely different car to the one who called European competitors such as the Land Rover Discovery Sport, BMW X3 and Audi Q5 launched in 1984, the SUV concept in a way that Jeep has not.
The Cherokee is undoubtedly an extremely capable car, when it comes to difficult terrain, but under the asphalt, speedbumps and highways, where most SUVs are found, it feels the tempo from. The Audi Q5, Mazda CX-5 and BMW X3 are better deliver on what people really want from a SUV: a comfortable, spacious and easy access interior and a great driving experience, which is that of a conventional car, broadly comparable. Off-Road tends ability to be relatively unimportant compared to these characteristics and even if this is something that you need from your SUV, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is to just be able to rough as Cherokee, but it's better the road to drive. In the favor of
Jeep, though, is the price: you will spend around £ 6,000 more for an entry-level Discovery Sport, X3 or Q5 and although style is a matter of opinion, the Cherokee is probably more pronounced than many of its competitors.

Jeep offers the Cherokee with a choice four motors. The only petrol is a 3.2-liter, which is not without charm, relatively old-fashioned, and cut reserved for tough "Trailhawk". His honest but unsophisticated nature is in its lower 30mpg fuel consumption and high CO2 emissions, which will leave you in charge of a strong annual road tax bill of £ 295th
Understandably, most Cherokee customers select a diesel engine. The range starts off with a 138bhp 2.0-liter, which is two or four wheel drive available. In the drive form two-, this engine takes the Cherokee from 0-62mph in 10.9 seconds and gives a tasty 53.3mpg, while CO2 emissions are 139 g / km CO2 are to make tax per year £ 130 Street. Opting for all-wheel drive will cost around £ 2,000 and provides economic dip of only 3mpg while road tax £ 145 rising slightly - although the performance suffers with this option, remember - 0-62mph leisurely 12 seconds takes. This entry-level engine is the only one in the region which is only available with two-wheel drive and comes with a manual transmission; all other Cherokees are with all-wheel drive with an automatic transmission.
further £ 4,500 or so to get a more powerful 182bhp 2.2-liter diesel engine, complete with all-wheel drive and spend the aforementioned automatic transmission. Economy and emissions are largely independent of this engine upgrade, the Jeep says will return 50.4mpg while the vehicle tax remains the same at £ 145 per year. The extra power this engine brings (0-62mph takes 8.8 seconds) means it is recommended the engine, if you can afford the higher price.

at the top of the diesel engine range is the same 2.2-liter, albeit with 197bhp. Performance is improved much, if you get this engine, and it is even higher trim levels available. Consequently, this is an expensive engine choice, and not what we recommend -. Even if the economy and emissions the same as the 182bhp version are
Towards the soft suspension results of Cherokee in noticeable body lean when cornering, while the steering feels vague. These properties mean sharply drivers should look elsewhere the Jeep prefer comfort-oriented setting (in the direction of a BMW X3, for example), but some will. The soft suspension, the Cherokee is mean not a sports car on a winding B road but it is to make for a comfortable experience over broken asphalt and speed limits.
Despite American cars built a questionable reputation for interior work with and quality, the Cherokee acquits himself well in this area. The dashboard and plastics are not making up to Audi standards, but you have no real compromise; the Cherokee feels well built and modern inside. get front and rear passengers plenty of space, while the decent 591-liter boot, the volume to an impressive 714 liters when the rear seats slide forward.
Once you have decided on the engine, you would like a Cherokee order can be a somewhat confusing process. There are seven trim levels, starting with length and increases by length +, Limited, Trailhawk, Night Eagle, 75 years, with Overland to crown the range. All vehicles are equipped with a five-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio, air conditioning, 17-inch alloys, cruise control and rear parking sensors. Length + adds Navi and an improved stereo, while all higher trim levels come with leather seats.
move through the range of the Cherokee dents its price-performance ratio credentials even extras like a self-parking system, wireless mobile phone charger and a digital dashboard display hold a certain attraction - although not in a few year period may be reflected in the second-hand market. This is especially true with the top-spec Overland model. During his soft Napa leather seats heated and ventilated, wooden wheel steering and Alpine stereo improved mean this is a seriously well-equipped and luxurious car, his near £ 40,000 asking price makes it an expensive, well. Note that the Trailhawk model is also something of a niche set :. It is only available with the thirsty 3.2-liter gasoline engine, and has a number of extras to improve off-road capability of the Cherokee
The property set is the Cherokee welcoming old as Jeeps : the reputation of the brand was something of a resurgence in recent years, and that was in our 2016 driver Power customer satisfaction survey clearly where it came from 32 manufacturers 11 - a 15 place jump over poll last year. Security is also impressive, thanks to the NCAP Cherokee five-star rating from Euro.
