New / Significantly Updated
- 2014 Jeep Cherokee
- The Jeep Cherokee returns effectively replacing the Liberty in the lineup. Compared to the Liberty, the new Cherokee rides on a similar wheelbase, but is about six inches longer overall. The vehicle is wider, but shorter in height than the liberty. With aggressive styling, the Cherokee is distinctly styled amongst a lineup of very blocky vehicles. The Cherokee offers a 2.4l four-cylinder engine rated at 184-bhp or a 3.2l V6 rated at 271-bhp. Both engines are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and are offered with either FWD or AWD. Three different all-wheel-drive systems are offered.
