The Jeep Cherokee for 2014 marks the comeback of a classical Jeep nameplate. Former Jeep Cherokees were off road, no frills vehicles which offered little more than the basic transportation as you got them on the road. The Cherokee for 2014 is entirely different. It is a small crossover sports utility vehicle. Plus, while it still has a good amount of all terrain capability, the new Jeep is more amazing for its attractively furnished and spacious cabin, smooth V6 engine, and pleasant ride.
Even though the Cherokee for 2014 has around the exact same footprint as the Dodge Dart sedan (shares its fundamental platform architecture), it’ll feel more specious on the interior and possesses amongst the most accommodating rear seats of any small crossover within this pricing range. The downside here is that prioritizing space for passengers resulted within a reduced maximum cargo volume: With its folded rear seats, this Jeep has 10 to 15 less cubic feet than the majority of rivals.
Therefore, it will not haul as many packages of toilet paper, yet above-average rated Jeep Cherokee has something many rival sports utility vehicles do not: an optional V-6 engine. Based upon its powerful Pentastar 6-cylinder utilized inside the Grand Cherokee, the 3.2 L V-6 engine will make an impressive 271 hP and generates that power within a refined, smooth way through a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The 9-speed automatic also is included with its base 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine. The 4-cylinder, on paper, will make competitive power for this segment, however, this Cherokee is heavier than many competitors; thereby real world acceleration is sluggish.
