The Cherokee is one of the oldest compact SUVs on the market, with the current generation dating back to the 2014 model year. Regardless, this proud little Jeep continues to stand out with remarkable off-road capability, especially in Trailhawk configuration. Meanwhile, the optional, naturally aspirated 3.2-litre V6 engine can tow heavy loads of up to 4,500 pounds. That being said, the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder is almost as powerful yet more frugal at the pump.
Pros
- Good towing capacity (V6)
- Real off-road capabilities
- Eye-catching style
Cons
- Aging interior
- Noisy turbo engine during acceleration
- High fuel consumption (V6)
