2019 Jeep Cherokee
As distinctive as the previous Cherokee’s front fascia was, it seems that Jeep felt it was becoming a little long in the tooth; when you’re at once that distinctive and a little passé, you’ve got a problem. So they’ve toned it down a little for 2019. The quintessential 7-slat Jeep grille returns, but it’s no longer flanked by DRLs. Instead, they’ve moved the headlights up to their traditional spot. Power-wise, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 returns but it’s now joined by a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder good for 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque that also has auto start/stop technology. On the 4x4 front, three separate 4WD systems – Active Drive I, Active Drive II and Active Drive Lock – ensure that the 2019 Jeep Cherokee is more capable than ever.
