2020 Jeep Cherokee

The trim levels of the Jeep Cherokee are Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, SRT and Trackhawk. You can choose either rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive on most models. However, the Trailhawk is four-wheel-drive only. The SRT and the Trackhawk get specialized all-wheel-drive systems.

The Laredo has a beefy V-6 engine and an eight-speed transmission. It features stylish 18-inch painted alloy wheels. The Limited presents the 5.7-liter aggressive V-8 engine option. In the Trailhawk trim, you'll see unique exterior styling, off-road tires, and underbody skid plates. The Overland is turned out similarly, with the exception of the off-road specific upgrades.

The Summit adds plush interior touches, while the SRT trim gets the 6.4-liter V-8 engine. The SRT bolts on a specialized all-wheel-drive system, summer performance tires, and a sport body kit. The top of the line brings you to the Trackhawk, with its high-performance tires on lightweight 20-inch wheels.

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee gives you plenty of engine choices! First, there's the standard 3.6-liter V-6 supplying 295 horsepower. Next, you have three V-8 engines to choose from like the 5.7-liter V-8 with 360 horsepower, your engine option for the Limited. The high-horsepower SRT trim has a 6.4-liter V-8, which has a beefy 475 horsepower making 470-pound feet of torque.

Topping out the performance list is the Trackhawk with its 6.2-liter V-8 with a brawny 707 horsepower, and an impressive 645-pound feet of torque. This engine is mated to an upgraded, responsive eight-speed transmission.

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee SRT with its Bembo performance brakes will stop from 70 miles per hour to zero in just 168 feet. The muscular SRT can bolt from zero-to-60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. With its sport-tuned suspension, this Jeep can handle well enough to keep up on the country roads. It can also tow up to 7,200 pounds. The Trackhawk conquers both the drag strip and the open road.

The 2020 Jeep Cherokee provides substantial interior space with considerable headroom and legroom in all four seating positions, and everything is within the driver's reach. Highlights of the Laredo begin with dual-zone climate control, a 7-inch touch screen, a six-speaker sound system, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The Limited adds comfort with heated front and rear leather seats, and a heated steering wheel. The touch screen size increases to 8.4 inches, and the front seats are power-adjustable. The luxury-oriented Summit brings in active noise-canceling technology, upgraded leather upholstery, and you can blast the tunes with the 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

Three favorite safety features are Blind-Spot Monitoring to protect against accidents, Forward Collision Mitigation, and Lane Departure Warning. The NHTSA gives the Cherokee a four-star safety rating overall.
