2020 Jeep Cherokee
The 2020 Jeep Cherokee is an adventure-bound SUV with diverse capabilities. It offers sleekness and sophistication on the highway and dons a fierce and rugged face best left to backcountry trails. Here's a look at this vehicle's potential on and off the road.
Trim Levels (Exterior)
The Jeep Cherokee comes in both front-wheel and four-wheel drive. The former introduces the Latitude, Latitude Plus, Altitude, Limited, and High Altitude trims. The latter adds a few more to the lineup, including the Upland, North Edition, Trailhawk, and Trailhawk Elite. This SUV's front fascia features a split, seven-slot grille adorned with active shutters and chrome trim. Across the body are accents ranging from LED lamps to side roof rails that unleash a multitude of upper haul possibilities. An interest in higher trims unlocks even more, including bold exhaust tips, multi-function mirrors, and a hands-free power liftgate.
Engine (Power)
A 2.4-liter Tigershark inline-four engine, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, delivers 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. An available 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6 raises output to 271 horsepower and 239 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, an optional 2.0-liter turbocharged engine generates 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
Also impressive is the SUV's built-in engine stop/start mechanism, which scales down emissions and fuel waste by eliminating engine idling. Further preventing premature wear is the Trailhawk and Trailhawk Elite's heavy-duty engine cooler. This feature vents out the heat surplus caused by continuous engine use.
Performance
The best mpg ratings for this vehicle come courtesy of the turbocharged engine in front-wheel drive: 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. Plus, with its all-season tires, anti-locking disc brakes, and traction management system, there's no arguing the Cherokee's trail-rated distinction.
Outdoor resilience is two-fold in four-wheel drive. The Upland, for instance, adds all-terrain tires and off-road wheel flares. The Trailhawk and Trailhawk Elite incorporate an off-road-tuned suspension and between 3 and 11 degrees of additional ground clearance. You also get a towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds, making heavy-load hauls simple and convenient.
Interior
The Cherokee offers ample space for passengers and cargo. Leg room extends up to 41.1 inches and shoulder room up to 57.6 inches. Even with all five seats occupied, this SUV whips out 24.6 cubic feet of storage space behind the second row, and more than double that behind the first.
Additional perks include front power lumbar support and premium seating surfaces, not to mention a slew of entertainment options. A Uconnect touch screen and smartphone integration come standard, while higher trims indulge you further with GPS navigation and free trial subscriptions to SiriusXM services.
Safety Features
The 2020 Jeep Cherokee offers key safety elements such as an updated accident response system, a rear backup camera, and comprehensive roadside assistance. Crash protection is also enhanced thanks to front multistage air bags with inflatable knee bolsters and supplemental side-curtain air bags across the cabin. Other preventive add-ons range from blind-spot and lane departure detection to full-speed forward collision warning. Models that include the latter, plus LED projector headlamps, will find their Cherokee stamped with Top Safety Pick approval from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
