Engines
Gone is the 2.4-litre naturally-aspirated ‘Tigershark’ four-cylinder from the range, with the Cherokee now exclusively powered by a 3.2-litre naturally-aspirated V6.
This V6 produces 200kW of power and 315Nm of torque and is mated to a nine-speed automatic. Jeep claims a 0-100km/h time of 7.5 seconds for the Limited and S-Limited trims and 8.5 seconds for the Trailhawk.
In the Limted and S-Limited, power is sent to all four wheels through an all-wheel drive system.
With the Trailhawk on the other hand, power is sent through a four-wheel drive system with a two-speed transfer case and locking rear differential.
