2019 Jeep Cherokee

The Jeep Cherokee’s powertrain has undergone a complete transformation for 2019. This year’s model comes with an all-new available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Jeep introduced the engine to provide a strong, durable engine — 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque — with improved fuel economy when compared to the V6. The engine also improves the Cherokee’s 0-to-60 time.

Performance

At its core, the 2019 Jeep Cherokee sports off-roading performance worthy of the Jeep brand. All six trims are available in 4×4 so you can take the Cherokee with you on the furthest adventures. The standard Cherokee comes with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder MultiAir engine, paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission. This combination gives off 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.

The Cherokee also offers a 3.2-liter V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing for 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. The V6 is available on the Limited and comes standard on the Trailhawk, Overland, and Trailhawk Elite trims. All-new for 2019, the Cherokee is offering a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which gives off 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.


Efficiency

On the road or off, the Jeep Cherokee holds its own when it comes to fuel efficiency. At its base with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder, the 2019 Cherokee earns an estimated 22 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. If you decide to upgrade to the 3.2-liter V6, your efficiency ratings will drop to 18 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 21 mpg combined.
