Pros
With fuel economy improvements of more than 45%, the implementation of several state-of-the-art technologies, superior road handling and a new design to boot, the new Jeep Cherokee 2014 is sure to catch people's attention.
Price
The MSRPs of the Sport, Latitude, Limited and Trailhawk models have not yet been revealed.
Fuel Economy
Equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee is rated at an average of 7.6 L/100 km. The combined rating for the V6 engine is estimated at 8.1 L/100 km.
Specifications
Three four-wheel-drive systems are on offer:
A 5-mode traction control system.

Exterior Styling
This mid-size SUV now has a new aerodynamic design, with sleek headlights and a modernized, 7-slot grille. The designers were determined to pass on the Jeep's DNA to this new model. With fluid lines, a defined hood, clearly separated from the front fender, and LED tail lights, the Jeep's contours strike a nice balance between forcefulness and modernity.
Drivetrain
The Cherokee is offered with a 4-cylinder, 2.4 litres engine that delivers 184 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque or a brand new 3.2-litre V6 litres, which packs 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission, one of the Jeep's latest advances in technology.

The Cherokee's cargo capacity remains to be seen.
According to its press release, it offers second-row, 60/40 seating as well as a fold-flat passenger seat.
