The legendary Jeep has been an icon of off-roading mobility all around the globe. With numerous options to choose from, Jeep presents an array of 4 wheels according to your required set up under the hood as well as body type.

Priced between $25,740 to $38,495, the Jeep Cherokee is available in 8 trims powered by standard 4-cylinder and an optional V6 engine. There four other limited edition trims that build on top of their respective trims that they are based upon. With just a few enhancements here and there, the Limited Editions do not bring anything extraordinary to the already existing feature-list.

Apart from the already loaded trim family, Jeep has also provided a few limited trims for the 2020 production year. Although they sit slightly higher than their corresponding standard trims in terms of price, these limited editions bring along some exclusive features which will soon be unavailable by the end of this year. Segregated in four different limited trims, the key highlights of these limited trims are:

Which trim to go for?

Powered by a 3.2-liter V6 engine, we recommend the 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4dr 4X4 SUV because of its versatility and adaptability in any kind of terrain. A top of the range suspension mechanism makes the Cherokee Trailhawk adapt to the kind of terrain you find thrill in and makes the drive comfortable. Because it’s based on a typical city SUV chassis, the Cherokee proves to be an all-rounder even on city commutes.

Peeping through Cherokee Trailhawk’s chrome and black grille is a 3.2-liter V6 engine that hauls the SUV at 271 horsepower at 6500rpm. The 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk makes 239 lb./ft. torque at 4400 rpm.

The kind of performance you would expect out of a Jeep is what the Cherokee Trailhawk stands for. Stiff and strong on the tarmac, the SUV performs perfectly on the roads. Turn the steering steep on a curve and Cherokee communicates its performance versatility in all its glory. It doesn't feel like it's going to roll over the curve like most full-size SUVs.

Firm suspensions under the chassis holds the car like the Atlas holding the planet and adapting to all its bumps and curves. A nicely weighted steering wheel responds smoothly on any kind of surface and feels soft and edgy on the curves. Sudden speed bumps on the road won’t scare you if you are behind the wheels of a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk due to its firm braking pedal.

How fast is the Cherokee? 

Zero to sixty in-breath seconds is not how you measure the performance of an SUV of Cherokee’s size and capability. Although, if measured, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk accelerates zero to sixty in under 8 seconds.

Quarter miles range stands at 16 seconds at 85.9 miles per hour. A maximum cruising range of 284.40 miles makes the Cherokee a perfect long route SUV.

What about the Ride and Handling?

Smooth as it is supposed to be, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee breaks the stereotype people have when it comes to ride quality of off-roader SUVs. Although the 4 cylinder standard engine feels a bit dull and underpowered on the freeway, the V6 is a trailblazer under the hood.

Due to the underpowered engine, the towing capacity of the Cherokee takes a toll. The standard 4 cylinder engine has a towing capacity of 4000 pounds while the V6 engine can tow up to 4500 rpm. Tests have proved the capabilities of the Cherokee in terms of handling at various levels. When Compared with its competition in the segment such as the 2019 Mazda CX5 and 2019 Honda CR-V, the 2020Cherokee Trailhawk drives nearer to the road and performs razor-sharp on the trickiest of turns.

How good is the Braking?

You may break a thing or two while trekking through the Sierra Nevada but this 4250 lbs. monster can come to halt from 60 miles per hour in under 120 ft. 13 inches front brake discs and 12.6 inches on the rear provides amazing grip and safety to the 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk.

The brakes feel decent in operation and pedals are well-modulated. There is nose-dive, as expected from an SUV of this class. However, it's contained in a better manner than some of the other vehicles in the class.

The V6 engine powering the 2020 Jeep Cherokee is not the most fuel-efficient engine available in the market. Clocking 18 miles per gallon in the city and about 24 miles per gallon on the highway, the Cherokee Trailhawk makes a combined fuel economy of 21 miles per gallon.

Comfortable and supportive seats coupled with easy-to-use controls make Cherokee's cockpit a great place to be in. Mimicking the plush and extravagant dashboard console of the costlier Jeep Grand Cherokee, the console on the Cherokee Trailhawk feels smooth and functional.

Leather upholstery adds the luxurious charm in the SUV with high-end infotainment features. Large body size of the Cherokee adds that much needed spacious feel in an SUV.

Pull Up its rear and you will notice, the Cherokee Trailhawk’s cargo area is much smaller than most SUVs in this segment. High liftover height of the Trailhawk adds to the complexity of carrying load for you long trips as well as short commutes.

How much cargo can you carry?

While if you put the rear seats down, the trunk expands to about 68.3 cubic feet which is enough for airport trips and short road trips.

Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk vs. Mazda CX5 Signature

Jeep has done a tremendous job in making the Cherokee one of the most admired 4 wheels in the segment. Motorheads can trust the versatility of this SUV and expect performance like no other. When compared with the 2019 Mazda CX5 Signature 4dr All-wheel Drive Sport Utility, the Cherokee Trailhawk stands out for more horsepower and low price range. Although the Mazda CX5 makes more torque than the Cherokee, it doesn't provide much off-roading capabilities and stands low in terms of towing capacity.If looking for an SUV with maximum versatility in terms of performance and capabilities, the Cherokee Trailhawk wins the race with many miles.

Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk vs. Honda CR-V EX-L

The iconic Honda CR-V has its own fan base not just in America but all over the world. It's been in the market for way too long to be able to compete with the newer SUVs. But, when parked next to the Cherokee Trailhawk, the CR-V lacks the much-needed off-roader capability. The CR-V is priced lower than the Trailhawk but also is much underpowered both in terms of horsepower and torque. CR-V definitely scores higher than the Cherokee in terms of comfort and ride quality. If you are looking for a go-anywhere SUV, Jeep has done a great job in making Cherokee your choice. If comfort is your calling, go for the Japanese SUV and you won’t be disheartened.

Agree or not, there is nothing the Jeep Cherokee lacks. It definitely is not the best in all the segments which include ride quality and comfort but it scores average. This makes the 2020 Jeep Cherokee a perfect SUV for any type of terrain.
