The Jeep Cherokee has always been known for its rugged build and tough performance, and the 2019 model builds upon these traits with brand new style and technology. While Chicago customers love this adventure-ready SUV, what have the experts been saying in the latest Jeep Cherokee reviews? The auto industry is buzzing over the new style and performance options, not to mention the off-road ready Trailhawk trim.

Cherokee Highlights

Many reviewers lauded the recent changes to the Jeep Cherokee exterior. The Car Connection lauded the changes in the lighting setup, creating a more streamlined look with the integrated daytime running lights and fog lights. Autoblog noted that abandoning the previous "shark nose" design allowed for 1.2 cubic feet of extra room in the rear cargo area. But the performance, most notably on the Trailhawk trim, was also a highlight for the majority of reviewers. Cars.com mentioned the Alfa Romeo-derived turbo 2.0 engine, while praising the tech-savvy safety features, and Motor Trend loved the off-road prowess of the Trailhawk.

Key Quotes

Want to hear the details directly from the leading experts in the auto industry? Check out some of the recent reviews below:
  • Car and Driver: "Since 2014, the Cherokee has offered true off-road ability and Jeep bona fides in one of the most contested segments in the business. While the Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V, and Hyundai Tucson are strong contenders, the Cherokee's numerous improvements, available V-6 and new turbo four engines, and extensive styling correction should make it a tougher competitor than ever."
  • Kelley Blue Book: "Its exceptional off-road prowess is reason enough to buy a Cherokee. The standard Cherokees are also solid off-road machines, and generally more confident in the rough stuff than their competitors. There's the 4,500-pound towing capacity as well, which doubles many others in its class."
  • Motor Trend: "The knobbier tires, one-inch higher ride height, 4-low mode, locking rear differential, and improved approach, departure, and breakover angles take what's already a surprisingly capable crossover and turn [the Trailhawk] into a vehicle that you'll have to drive a long way off the beaten path to find something it can't handle.
