2015 Jeep Cherokee review

1. Trailhawk for the trails 

The Trailhawk trim is a highlight of the Cherokee lineup if you love to get out on the trails. It features Jeep’s Active Drive II system with low-range gearing and an increased ground clearance of 8.7 inches to help you navigate rocky terrain. This trim is equipped to handle all life's adventures and you'll appreciate the off-road-focused features like tow hooks and specialized fascias. 

2. Robust V6 with towing capability 

The optional 3.2L Pentastar^® V6 engine offers a blend of power and versatility. This makes it suitable for anything from moving days to fun mountain drives. With 271 horsepower and the ability to tow up to an estimated 4,500 lbs when properly equipped, your weekends will become more adventurous than ever.

3. Practical four-cylinder engine 

If you prioritize fuel-sipping performance, the standard 2.4L four-cylinder engine is a solid choice. It delivers 184 horsepower and achieves an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive models, offering a balance of performance and economy.

4. Plenty of space to stretch out 

The Cherokee's interior is roomy and practical, with ample space for everyone to stretch out. Front seat passengers are treated to 41.1 inches of legroom, while those in the rear get 40.3 inches. The cargo area provides 24.8 cu-ft of space, which is plenty for your day-to-day needs but it’s expandable to 54.9 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. This gives you more flexibility for hauling furniture or transporting sports equipment.  

5. Comfortable ride with lots of features 

Across all trims, the Cherokee provides a comfortable ride with its well-tuned suspension. The available Selec-Terrain^™ system allows for tailored driving dynamics based on the conditions — even across snow, sand, and mud. Higher trims, like the Latitude and Limited, add luxury touches such as privacy glass and leather-trimmed seats, enhancing the overall comfort and style.
