The build quality and materials used inside the cabin of the Cherokee now seems a lot more premium and upmarket than what it used to be a few years ago. The quality gap between the Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee isn’t as wide as it used to, and that’s a good sign for the Cherokee buyers.
The seats offer comfortable seating positions with the driver seat getting sufficient to adjust, but the steering has limited height adjust which is strange, considering all cars have a similar range of adjusting. The rear seat offers great comfort on long rides as it also offers recline adjustability, but that does affect the luggage space.

The Cherokee offers the best combination of space for all its occupants, both at the front and the back but lacks in terms of cargo-carrying capacity. The CR-V offers similar front row space but lacks a bit in the rear seats but compensates with a much larger trunk capacity. The Outlander Sport on the other hand is the compact crossover in both passenger and cargo capacity. Major interior features include-
- 12-Way Power Driver Seat with Power 4-Way Lumbar Support
- 6-Way Passenger Seat with Fold Flat adjustability
- Leather-Trimmed Heated Bucket Seats
- 60-40 Folding Split-Bench Rear Seat
- Heated Leather Steering Wheel
- Dual Zone Front Automatic Air Conditioning
- Garage Door Transmitter
