2015 Jeep Cherokee | 5 Reasons to Buy | Autotrader
24The 2015 Jeep Cherokee has wheels in two worlds: the road and the mud. Most compact crossovers can't handle the rough stuff, but a Jeep always has to be a Jeep. Here are five reasons why this could be the most versatile Cherokee yet.
9 on the Spline
One of the Cherokee's big selling points is its 9-speed automatic transmission. More gears means the engine spends more time operating at maximum efficiency. As a result, the Cherokee gets up to 31 miles per gallon on the highway, which is pretty good for a crossover.
Terrific Cabin
The Chrysler group has made huge strides in cabin quality, and the Cherokee is the latest case in point. We can't think of another compact crossover that can match the Cherokee's supple materials and overall premium feel. We like the way the rear seats slide forward or back for extra cargo space or legroom. And we also love the iPad-like 8.4-inch uConnect touchscreen -- it's one of the best in any vehicle.
2 Solid Engines
The Cherokee starts off with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that makes 184 horsepower yet gives you 31 mpg with front-wheel drive. Stepping up to the snarling 3.2-liter V6 brings 271 hp and a still-respectable 27 mpg. Many rivals only offer one engine these days, so it's good that Jeep lets you choose.
Carlike Handling
The current Cherokee has only been around for 2 years and, like its rivals, is based on a car platform. That pays big dividends on the pavement. Thanks to a foundation shared with the Dodge Dart sedan, the Cherokee takes bumps in its stride, and it can even dance a little on winding roads.
Still a Real Jeep
Jeep has a glorious reputation to protect, so the Cherokee needs to handle well off-road, too. That's where the Trailhawk model comes in. With low-range gearing and a lifted suspension, the Trailhawk has skills any Cherokee would be proud of -- and it looks pretty cool, too.
Autotrader Says
The 2015 Jeep Cherokee offers something for almost everyone -- even those who want real Jeep talents. Take one for a spin, and try not to keep it too clean.
