The Jeep Cherokee is like any other compact crossover, but it comes with more towing ability than compact crossovers in its range. It is an ideal crossover for anyone looking for adventure as its powertrain and ground clearance allow it to venture off-road with great ease. As you move higher the trim, the car comes with more advanced features for convenience, safety, and drivability. The TrailHawk is the ultimate Cherokee for the off-road drivers in Santa Monica.
Any other Cherokee model will also venture off-road with great ease, thanks to the availability of the all-wheel-drive system. You will have a variety of powertrains to choose from, including the powerful V6 and the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The car can tow up to 4,500 pounds.
What's New?
Jeep is still working on the third generation of the Cherokee, but there seem to be some touches still left. The second generation continues, but the next model might come with a new face and so many changes.
There are more standard safety features on the 2021 Jeep Cherokee, including:
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Automated Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping Assist
There are also more comfort and convenience features such as heated exterior mirrors and power side windows. The Trailhawk adds heated steering wheel, remote start, and heated front seats. Jeep also introduced the 80th Anniversary Edition, which is based on the Latitude LUX trim.
Engine/Fuel Performance
If you need performance, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee has the features you need to tow and haul so much cargo. The crossover SUV is available in five trims:
- Latitude
- Latitude Plus
- Limited
- Trailhawk
- Overland
You can choose the car in either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive except for the Trailhawk, which only features advanced 4WD systems. All engine options pair with a 9-speed automatic transmission. You have the following engine options:
- Standard 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that generates 180 horsepower and 171 pound-feet torque.
- Optional 3.2L V6 that makes 271 horses and 239 pound-feet torque.

Interior Space
The 2021 Jeep Cherokee features supportive seats, plenty of leg- and headroom, and easy to use controls. The dash looks minimalist but has a large screen, almost like what the Grand Cherokee offers. The Cherokee is larger than most of its competitors, and this gives it a feeling of space. However, its high windowsills might make you feel confined. This compact crossover offers 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space, which is smaller than what the competition offers. From a car that looks big from outside, the car cargo space is small.
Even with its small cargo space, the Cherokee still offers some comfort features such as:
As you go higher on the trim levels, you enjoy features such as heated and ventilated front and rear seats and heated leather-wrapped steering wheels. Other features include wood inserts, a navigation system, upgraded leather upholstery, sound deadening windshield, and much more. These advanced features are available for the lower trims either as packages or as optional standalone items.
