For those looking for a hard-working SUV that is reliable and elegant, the 2019 Jeep Cherokee offers trim packages that propel it to the top of its class. There are many different styles and features that the Cherokee can come equipped with, so let’s take a look at what makes this SUV such a good deal.
Trim Levels
The Cherokee comes in five trims with a total of nine different major configurations. The trim levels include the Latitude, Latitude Plus, Limited, Trailhawk, and Overland, with all but the Trailhawk offering both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) options. The Trailhawk is strictly an AWD vehicle and is designed to spend more time off-road than on the street.
Every trim level of the 2019 Cherokee offers a nine-speed automatic/manual transmission, and you’ll have a choice between Jeep’s 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter I-4 engine or 271-horsepower, 3.2-liter V-6 engine on the Limited. The two Latitude trims only come with the I-4 engine, while the Trailhawk and Overland only have the V-6.
Off-Road Capabilities
While the Trailhawk is billed as the trim level of the 2019 Cherokee built for off-road conditions, in fact, all trim levels are designed to handle rough terrain quite well. The Active-Drive system on the AWD trims automatically regulates power delivery to the rear wheels dependent upon terrain conditions.
The Trailhawk has an advanced version of Active-Drive with a low-range option for more difficult terrain as well as a front and rear bumper design that allows it to traverse larger obstacles with ease. Another feature of the Trailhawk worth mentioning is its Selec-Speed control that allows for slow speed cruise control for uphill and downhill applications.
Safety Features
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee comes with a plethora of active safety features designed to keep drivers safe no matter how crowded the roads might be. Onboard computer systems monitor blind spots as well as the front and rear of the vehicle for possible collisions, while the LaneSense lane departure warning system will not only alert drivers to drifting but will also actively steer the vehicle back into its lane. Adaptive cruise control effectively adjusts speeds to compensate for changing traffic conditions automatically, and 360-degree cameras help drivers to park in the tightest spots without fear of fender benders.
Interior Design
The Jeep Cherokee is designed as a rugged SUV that can handle rough off-road terrain while also giving drivers and passengers a luxurious ride. This full-sized SUV can comfortably fit seven and comes in either cloth or premium vinyl. Every 2019 Jeep Cherokee comes with the U Connect system that includes a 7-inch touch-screen display, full steering wheel mounted controls, Bluetooth, and Sirius XM Guardian, which gives drivers remote start, roadside, and emergency assistance.
There are also a bunch of extra features like a sunroof, an Alpine premium sound system, and a powered liftgate to further enhance the driving experience.
With all these features and well-developed design, it’s easy to see why the 2019 Jeep Cherokee is a great choice for those looking for an SUV that can handle commutes both on-road and off. Browse our inventory today to find the one that’s right for you.
