Goes anywhere, in style

There is no real competition for the Cherokee Trailhawk. This is not the fastest, most luxurious or the most economical of the compact SUVs out there, but it is the most capable all-around car Ever. The little trailhawk can zip through traffic, cruise over 300 miles on a tank and go places off-road that no other stock car can travel. For folks that have jobs where you are critical personnel or you just li,e to have the option of going out for dinner in terrible weather, this is your car. Loaded with tech and safety features, insurance rates on the Trailhawk are lower that other off-road vehicles, and its much more hospitable on the street than a Wrangler.

Loaded with options & ready for anything!

Car in excellent condition; all options tested worked as expected. Pretty quick for a 4WD crossover; sport & offroad modes worked fine, and AC was ice cold. Great performance and lots of folks commented how cool it looks!

A phenomenal mid-size SUV that anyone can enjoy

I?ve owned 4 other SUV?s in the past 10 years and I have unquestionably enjoyed this one the most. My previous vehicles were a BMW X3, Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, and Range Rover HSE. All are great in their own respects but when you compare what you get for your money, reliability, maintenance costs, and ability to perform on or off the pavement (in a manner all SUV?s technically should), I can confidently say the Cherokee has atleast those vehicles best. It does seem smaller from the outside and had me concerned it would have a tougher ride like a lot of mid-size SUV?s tend to have. However, one you are inside, the amount of space and level of comfort truly surprised me. It?s also phenomenal to be able to go in and out of Manhattan and not be concerned about not being able to get around comfortably or find parking, due to it?s more compact build. I am thankful now, that I didn?t spend the extra money for the Grand Cherokee. This Jeep has definitely exceeded my expectations. My favorite SUV purchase so far and am planning to purchase another soon.

What a piece of junk.

Paid 23,000 for this thing in 2016.active grill shutter motor fried twice,have to reprogram the PCM because it failed,constantly triggering engine light for problems that don't exist re... having to re program the pcm, to the tune of $400.00. We couldn't figure out the problem, so we reprogrammed the PCM should be fine now,third times a charm. It's not a jeep it's a fiat. Never agian. A years salary.for a yard orniment.

I love the Jeep but Chrysler is horrible.

I bought a 2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.4l 4x4 Latitude Plus. I love the Jeep when its working properly however that's not always the case. I have had transmission issues from about 11k miles and every 10-15k miles since. Most of the issues were minor only requiring a flash of the transmission but major problems also arose too. Time and time again I have been left without my vehicle for a week or two just waiting for a Chrysler dealership to flash the transmission. I've filled several complaints to just have the transmission replaced with Chrysler but they always said they fixed the problem and it wouldn't happen again. Which is true to some extent. Its always had a different problem with it. I got the extended powertrain warranty to 100k miles from Chrysler however that has expired by now. And now I'm paying for the refresh of the transmission myself. $200+ each time. My Jeep is currently in the shop getting a transmission refresh for the 7th time. The next time it acts up I'm just going to trade it in and be rid of it.

1st Jeep I have owned

The vehicle performs well, pulls behind motor home with Active Drive II, mpg is 22-32 and only has 1 problem- 9 speed trans (replaced at 32000 miles). Dealership in Florida did good job and now it is performing excellent, however 9 speed transmissions are subject to problems (didn't know when I bought it used)

This is has been an extremely dependable car.

Has all the features of a techno car like bluetooth, xm radio, navigation, two usb ports. Very comfortable, smooth and quiet driving vehicle. Amazing amount of carrying capacity room esp when back seats are down. Surprised at how much one can fit in there. Just a joy to drive and own.
