"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.

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.
