The 2022 Jeep Cherokee is all set to starlight the space yet again as an expected carry-over model of the 2021 model year with its base 180 hp 2.4L I-4 engine. Fortuned with the same trim configurations of the Latitude, Freedom, Latitude Plus, Altitude, Latitude LUX, Limited, TrailHawk, and High Altitude, it will be specced to be priced at a speculated starting price of $28,135.

Charmed with ample roominess and 4-interior accents, the Jeep Cherokee radiates in up to 12 exterior contrasts that treat your visions. Though there has been no confirmation on its release dates yet but it is certain to go straight against the miles of the Mazda CX-5, the Honda CR-V, and the Subaru Forester for competitive pricing throughout.

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee is the best suited in its Latitude LUX configuration with a 4X4 layout as it is a blend of both interior accent and convenience quotient. It is also the trim with maximum numbers of exterior color cladding while the tech-ends on the inside are better than the lower trims and sufficient as compared to the ones in the higher variants. Even the optional packages that come entailed with it are sound enough to increment its value proposition by a mile to entice anyone.

Great Product Just Needs Some Improvement

Pros
Roomy interior and nice features inside, Sporty looking appearance on the outside

Cons
Strange electrical glitches, Not the best gas mileage

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee X is very sporty with an off-road appearance. Comes with more aggressive tire and wheel package. Nice leather interior makes for a comfortable ride. Gas mileage isn’t the best in this Jeep either, but if you’ve ever owned a Jeep you’d understand that most of them arent made for good gas mileage. However, the mechanical glitches are what turns me away from this vehicle. UCon... Read more

Pricing and Features
7.0/10

"Every Cherokee is well-equipped, but top trims add great features." - The Car Connection

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee is expected to be the same 8-trim SUV on offer with Latitude trim as the base model at $28,135. This trim features Uconnect 4 with 7-inch Display and 6-speaker audio system on the inside as the standard assets. Costing a little extra at $29,085 welcomes the Freedom configuration for which it gets Light-Tungsten Interior Accents and 18-inch Matte-Black Aluminum Wheels over the base model. With an expense of $30,200, the Latitude Plus takes its place with Cloth / Premium Vinyl Seats integrated with heating function alongside a heated steering wheel. However, the Trailer Sway Damping and Normal duty suspension remain constant for easy maneuvering among all for no additional charges.

At $31,640 comes the Altitude variant that further adds Piano-Black Interior Accents and Parksense Rear Park Assist with Stop in its inherent values. While the Latitude LUX for a price tag of $31,810 brings in Premium Leather-Trimmed Seats and complete front row power adjustability for the enhanced interior experience. However, the Limited packs an advanced Premium Alpine Speaker System for musical vibes and Uconnect 4 with 8.4-inch Display for configurable controls. And, the Trailhawk, at $36,785, is the off-road specialty in the lineup that sports Selec-Terrain System and Off-road suspension for traction superiority. In the end, is the High Altitude that costs $38,775 that can be availed of with exclusive Uconnect 4C NAV and eternal Anodized Gunmetal Interior Accents.

Buying Advice

Engine and Performance
7.5/10

"The Jeep Cherokee balances strong off-road capabilities with a pleasant level of on-road comfort and convenience." - TrueCar

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee has been empowered with a 2.4L I-4 engine that punches 180 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. It is hitched with a 9-speed automatic transmission either in FWD or 4x4 layout. However, the Latitude LUX, Limited, and Trailhawk relish the 271 hp 3.2L V6 engine with a thrust of 239 lb-ft. While the High Altitude dooms with its exclusive 2.0L Turbo I-4 powertrain that pushes up to 270 hp and 239 lb-ft.

Weighing over 3,000 lbs with a power curve ranging from 180 hp-271hp, the Jeep Cherokee demands no less than normal duty suspensions for maintaining that adept ride height. The handling pursuit goes on to another level with its off-road oriented TrailHawk that sports special off-road suspensions in pairing with Selec-Terrain System and Selec-Speed Control that ensure maximum grip all time.

Translating the fire within in a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs and payload of 1,000 lbs, the Cherokee labels itself as one of the finest haulers in the space. However, there has been no official record on its 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile timings. In addition to that, it fits 13-inch front and 11-inch rear disc brakes conjugated with 4-wheel ABS and Brake Assist to halt it within the limits.

Models	2022 Jeep Cherokee	2022 Honda CR-V	2022 Mazda CX-5	2022 Subaru Forester
MSRP	$28,135	$26,400	$25,900	$25,195
Engine	2.4L I-4	1.5L Turbocharged I-4	2.5L I-4	2.5L I-4
Drivetrain	FWD	FWD	AWD	AWD
Transmission	9-speed automatic	CVT	6-speed automatic	CVT
Power	180 hp @ 6,400 RPM	190 hp @ 5,600 RPM	187 hp @ 6,000 RPM	182 hp @ 5,800 RPM
Torque	171 lb-ft @ 4,600 RPM	179 lb-ft @ 2,000 RPM	186 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM	176 lb-ft @ 4,400 RPM
0-60 MPH	N/A	N/A	N/A	8.0 sec
Quarter-mile	N/A	N/A	N/A	16.3 sec
Top Speed	N/A	N/A	N/A	115 MPH

Costing approximately $1,700 more than the Honda CR-V, Jeep tows 500 lbs more cargo and loads 150 lbs extra to justify that price markup. Even the Forester lacks the towing skills by 500 lbs against the Cherokee but for a $3,000 smaller price tag this time. On the other hand, the CX-5 costs almost $2,000 less than the Cherokee yet has got nearly parallel power configurations with equal towing.

Fuel Economy
6.5/10

"The Cherokee has among the worst fuel economy in its compact-crossover and SUV segment." - Car and Driver

Returning a combined fuel economy of 25 MPG, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee covers a range of 395 miles with its 15.8-gallon fuel tank. But the mileage figures reduce by 2 MPG and 3 MPG for the more powerful 3.2L V6 and 2.0L Turbo I-4 engines.

Models	2022 Jeep Cherokee	2022 Honda CR-V	2022 Mazda CX-5	2022 Subaru Forester
MPG (City)	22	27	24	26
MPG (Highway)	31	32	30	33
MPG (Combined)	25	29	26	29
Fuel Capacity (Gallons)	15.8	14.0	15.3	16.6
Range (City/ Highway/Combined; Miles)	347/ 490/ 395	378/ 448/ 406	367/ 459/ 397	432/ 548/ 481

Going by the numbers, the Jeep Cherokee offers 42 miles extra peak range over Honda CR-V that decrease 31 miles up against the CX-5. However, it feels miserable at the same time by 58 miles when it is pitted against the range reach of the Subaru Forester.

Interior
8.0/10

"An attractive dashboard that mimic the larger and more expensive Grand Cherokee's layout helps cultivate an upscale feel." - Car and Driver

With a myriad of configurations comes the relative interior accents that personify the cabin of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee. Be it Freedom trim with Light-Tungsten interior shade or High Altitude variant with Anodized Gunmetal format, the ambiance shines bright in flow with those ambient interior lightings. And the seating from cloth upholstery in the Latitude furnishes to Premium Leatherette from Latitude LUX onwards.

Speaking of comfort hints at the heated front seats for the Latitude Plus and other higher trims of the Jeep Cherokee. Furthermore, the space feels more lively while having the open sky vision in the Limited and High Altitude editions thanks to their dual-pane panoramic sunroofs. However, the cargo capacity ranging from 25.8 cu-ft to 54.7 cu-ft remains the same throughout the lineup.

Models	2022 Jeep Cherokee	2022 Honda CR-V	2022 Mazda CX-5	2022 Subaru Forester
Seating Capacity	5	5	5	5
Front Row (Headroom/Shoulder Room/Legroom; inches)	39.4/57.6/41.1	40.1/57.9/41.3	39.7/57.1/41.0	41.2/58.2/43.3
Rear Row (Headroom/Shoulder Room/Legroom; inches)	38.5/55.1/40.3	39.2/55.6/40.4	39.0/54.8/39.6	39.6/57.2/39.4
Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)	25.8	39.2	30.9	28.9

Apart from standard assets, the comparisons indicate the cargo deficit of almost 13 cu-ft for the Cherokee when collated against the CR-V. But this gap reduces to 5 cu-ft when it is plotted in line with the CX-5. As far as seating roominess is concerned, all of them are parallel to one another to a large extent. In addition to that, the Jeep fixates with its Uconnect 4 with a 7-inch Display for its infotainment purpose.

However, the Uconnect 4 with 8.4-inch Display in the Limited and Uconnect 4C NAV with exclusive GPS Navigation in the High Altitude oust that inherent infotainment system. Not just that, even the 6-speaker audio system that stays functional for all has to settle against a more advanced Premium Alpine Speaker System for the aforementioned trims. Some of the notable interior features have been mentioned below:

Cloth upholstery/Leather upholstery
Heated front seats
Ambient interior lighting
Power-adjustability front seats
6-speaker audio system
Uconnect 4
7-inch Touchscreen Display

Exterior

"The Jeep Cherokee is a charming small SUV." - Edmunds

Enshrined with up to 12 exterior colors such as Velvet Red Pearl and Light Brownstone Pearl, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee glitters in trend along with active grille shutters on the front. The staring stance is further propounded by its black bezel integrated automatic LED High-Low Beam headlights.

Inching that glare of the Jeep Cherokee are those masculine 17-inch and 18-inch alloy wheels with either all-season or all-terrain tires depending on the trim. Moreover, the roof rails with varying finishes including the Gloss-Black and Granite Crystal add the flair to the top while the MOPAR rock rails cost an extra $1,030 as per trim specifics.

Models	2022 Jeep Cherokee	2022 Honda CR-V	2022 Mazda CX-5	2022 Subaru Forester
Curb Weight (lbs)	3,590	3,337	3,691	3,454
Length (inches)	182.0	182.1	179.1	182.7
Width (inches)	73.2	73.0	72.5	71.5

Ground Clearance (inches)	N/A	8.2	7.5	8.7
Wheelbase (inches)	106.5	104.7	106.2	105.1

Based on the analysis, the Cherokee weighs nearly 250 lbs more than the Honda CR-V with a 2-inch smaller wheelbase. While the Subaru Forester is 2.5-inch less wide and 2-inch taller than the Jeep emblem. However, all these dimensional variations don't impact the driving dynamics at all on the whole.

Safety
9.0/10

"Its safety features are just as plentiful." - Kelley Blue Book

Assumed to be mechanically unchanged, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee is bound to score a 4-star NHTSA and a "Good" safety rating in its crash tests. However, it is nowhere close to be named in the "Top Safety Pick" award. Regarding the tech-ends for its safety gear, it does inherit a melange of advanced safety features including the below mentioned as per trim level:

Blind-spot monitoring system
Rear cross-traffic alert
Forward collision mitigation
LaneSense Lane-keeping assist
Rear automatic braking
Adaptive cruise control

Competition
8.0/10

2022 Jeep Cherokee vs 2022 Honda CR-V

Both the 2022 Jeep Cherokee and Honda CR-V are potent SUVs in their own rights. However, when it is a subject of pure loading the Cherokee has been armed with slight superiority over the latter along with better peak range reach. In terms of interior spaciousness, both are somewhat on the same block but the CR-V offers better cargo capacity with underwhelming ambiance. So, one has to give preference to Cherokee between the two.

2022 Jeep Cherokee vs. 2022 Mazda CX-5

Having better power figures and towing prowess, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 does give the 2022 Jeep Cherokee a nightmare in powertrain thumping. Even the seating and cargo volumes are better in the CX-5 than the Cherokee but by a fewer margin. Meanwhile, the maximum range coverage favors the Cherokee, however, misses to outclass its lower priced rival on the totality.

2022 Jeep Cherokee vs 2022 Subaru Forester

One of the closest rivals in off-roading capabilities of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee could be the 2022 Subaru Forester with its standard and optional packages. And its miles scale and cabin space have got edges too against the likes of the Cherokee. Except for the towing figures and overall interior fashion, the Cherokee fails to outdo the Forester, thereby, making the Subaru favorite for now.

Final Verdict

With such a multitude of options, posing everything from comfort to luxury to pure off-road stance, the 2022 Jeep Cherokee is one class of an SUV to own. But one can't be insensitive to the fact that its rivals have been proposed with comparable features too for relatively lower prices for lower trims making only the higher and more expensive configurations of the Cherokee to be worthy for investment. Hence, one can't pick it as one's top choice in this segment.
