The brand-new Cherokee has a 180-horsepower naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that connects to a nine-speed auto transmission. You should expect the entry-level 2.4-liter engine to generate approximately 171 pound-feet of torque at 4600 revolutions per minute. The V6 engine provides an added advantage in acceleration and speeds for more acceleration than the 2.0-liter powertrain. Therefore, you should expect nothing short of 271 horsepower and a traction rating of 239 pound-feet.
However, the 2.0-liter turbo inline-4 provides reliable statistics for more traction and torque than the other engine variants. It offers drivers a substantial 295 pound-feet of torque and an impressive 270 horsepower. In addition, drivers should expect faster acceleration from the turbocharged engine than the other two variants discussed. Irrespective of the powertrains, the Jeep Cherokee can tow up to 4500 pounds.
The Jeep Cherokee boasts impressive off-road capabilities. It has three four-wheel-drive configurations, where each variant contains a Selec-terrain traction management system with five modes.
