Review of the new Jeep Cherokee 2019-2020: appearance, interior, specifications, parameters, configuration, security systems and price. At the end of the article, a photo and video review of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover.

Review content:

Suffice it to name the Jeep brand, and you immediately remember SUVs with a powerful engine. The company began its history back in 1941 as a subsidiary of Chrysler. The first cars were produced for the needs of the army. The most famous to this day remains the Jeep Willys, a small military vehicle, all-terrain. After the Second World War, the car began to be produced as a production model.

During the hostilities, Jeep showed itself from various sides, in different situations, gaining considerable authority. There was also a considerable demand for an SUV. Today the manufacturer has several models of SUVs, constantly improving and modifying them. One of the latest novelties was the 2018 Jeep Cherokee. Compared to the fifth generation, the sixth received noticeable changes, both externally and in the cabin. The new 2018 Jeep Cherokee received an update rather than a complete redesign.

Exterior of the new Jeep Cherokee 2019-2020

The updated 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover was first unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2018. Despite the fact that this is a new generation, the SUV soon received partial updates, retaining the features of the previous generation. In addition to design changes, technical specifications and parameters have been finalized and updated.

The front of the 2019-2020 Jeep Cherokee crossover has received a new radiator grill and optics. The radiator grill is not to say that it has changed a lot, the designers have made more openings for air supply, with an expressive chrome edging. As before, the radiator grille is built into the end of the hood, and the chrome brand inscription is also located here. The 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover optics have been completely redesigned with a bend at the bottom. The upper part of the optics received LED daytime running lights, they also serve as direction indicators. To give a strict style, the background of the optics was painted black, and the lenses of the high and low beam were placed closer to the outer sides. Depending on the selected configuration of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee, the front optics will be halogen-based or all-LED.

Most of the front end of the new Jeep Cherokee 2018-2019 crossover is occupied by the bumper. As a result of the refinement of the grille and optics, the bumper also received changes. Near the radiator grill, the notch has become larger, and the side parts have acquired small protrusions. The bottom of the bumper of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee combines modern style and modern technology. In particular, these are new LED foglights with chrome edging and a black plastic insert.

The lower part of the front bumper of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee was taken under an additional radiator grill with two towing hooks. Depending on the wishes of the buyer, they can be chrome-plated or painted in a different color, the front bumper can also be of the same color (in body color or black). Thanks to the additional grille, the engineers not only improved the engine cooling, but also were able to position the radar, sensors and sensors. For maximum trim levels, the bottom of the front bumper is emphasized by a silvery insert, one might say it distinguishes the top version from the base version.

Changing the front optics of the 2019-2020 Jeep Cherokee pulled the hood changes of the crossover. In its shape, it now looks more like the latest generation Grand Cherokee. A bend appeared along the perimeter of the hood, raising the central part. The center of the bonnet, in turn, is highlighted by two additional lines. Thus, the designers not only updated the hood, but also gave a more "evil" and modern style to the new Jeep Cherokee 2018. The windshield of the crossover remains unchanged. In expensive trim levels or for an additional fee, there will be heating in the area of \u200b\u200bthe wiper parking, or full heating around the perimeter. Some experts say that such an update has deprived the new Jeep Cherokee 2018 of its individuality, while others say that it only improved the style, as sales of the previous generation went down.

If you do not take into account the changes in the front optics, then the side of the new Jeep Cherokee 2019-2020 has practically no changes. On the side, the designers have left all the same curved lines and flattened wheel arches. To protect the wheel arches, the standard set includes plastic overlays that can be painted in body color or black. The lower part of the front doors of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee is still adorned with a chrome model lettering.

The side mirrors of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee were left unchanged, the body was painted partly to match the body color and partly in black, LED turn signals were added at the junction. The mirrors have not changed in size, the standard set includes an electric drive for adjusting the mirrors and heating, for a fee or in more expensive configurations, automatic folding and memory for several positions will appear.

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee door handles are painted in body color, although chrome can be found in some comfort packages. In total, the side part is designed for 3 glasses, one on the doors and one deaf. The 2018 Jeep Cherokee glass is decorated with a black, but more often chrome edging along the contour of the glass, but the center pillar will only be black. For an additional fee, the buyer can tint the rear side windows and the tailgate glass.

The body colors of the new 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover are modest:

• the black;
• granite;
• burgundy;
• grey;
• light blue;
• olive;
• dark beige;
• red;
• pearl white;
• silver;
• dark grey;
• white.

Only a specially equipped version of the Jeep Cherokee 2018, which has received the maximum set of protection and off-road driving, will receive a bright body color. Otherwise, the colors of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover will be strict, in dark shades. As an addition, the color can be metallic or mother-of-pearl.

Following the front end, changes have also been made to the rear end of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee. At first glance, the changes are not so noticeable, since the upper part has remained almost the same, but most of all the designers have modified the bottom of the crossover. The lower part of the trunk lid received a notch for license plates and a rear-view camera, and the rough horizontal line was replaced with a smooth one. The rear feet of the Jeep Cherokee 2018 are now LED in all trim levels, the background and side optics are LED. Part, as before, is located on the trunk lid, the second part is on the crossover body.

The upper section of the boot lid of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee remains the same, a large sports spoiler with LED stop indicator. To add uniqueness and style, the rear window of the crossover has been rounded at the sides. The rear bumper attracts more attention, by getting rid of the number panel, the designers have added a large diffuser with oblong fog lights on the sides. The bottom of the bumper of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee is adorned with two exhaust tips. There are also hidden sensors for the contactless opening of the trunk, as well as some security systems. Following the new forms, the towing hook disappeared, the engineers placed it in the luggage compartment, and if necessary, it can be installed in place by pulling out the plug in the bumper.

The last in the appearance of the new Jeep Cherokee 2018 crossover is the roof. Starting from the basic configuration, the manufacturer installs rails for attaching an additional luggage compartment or oversized cargo, as well as a whip antenna. In more expensive trim levels or for an additional fee, you can install an electric sunroof, but the top versions will get a panoramic cover with a sliding front part.

Comparing the updates of the 5th and 6th generations, the differences are significant and we can say that the designers took into account the wishes of the owners, removing the futuristic style details and adding more strict features. Such improvements to the appearance of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee not only benefited sales, but also improved the technical characteristics of the crossover.

The interior of the new Jeep Cherokee 2018

In appearance, the changes in the new generation of the Jeep Cherokee 2018 are clearly visible, but in the interior of the crossover they are almost invisible, only experienced motorists will tell you where and what has changed. Despite the loud statements from the manufacturer, in fact, the interior of the new 2018 Jeep Cherokee has remained much the same.

Nevertheless, if you look closely, then the differences can be found, in particular, this is the design of the center console of the Jeep Cherokee 2018-2019. The designers made the edging around the multimedia system thinner, and the buttons got richer shades, the side deflectors got a similar lively edging. The lower part of the dash panel will change color to match the color of the seat trim. The multimedia system of the Jeep Cherokee 2018 crossover is based on a 7 "or 8.4" touchscreen display. In the basic set of multimedia, the set of functions is minimal with the basis of Android Auto, after paying $ 795, the buyer of the crossover will receive two systems, including Apple CarPlay, a navigation system, a 4G modem and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Around the central display, there are two air ducts. Under the display are the parking assistant control buttons, the emergency parking button and a couple of other systems, depending on the configuration of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee. Going down below, the previously known dual-zone climate control panel is installed with the ability to turn off information on the central display.

The panel around the automatic transmission lever of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee will surprise you in its own way, the designers have made it as convenient as possible with many useful functions. The set of the central tunnel includes a charging panel (USB connector, AUX input, SD card slot and 12V socket), next to it is a selector for selecting one of the suspension modes, in the case of an all-wheel drive, it is also responsible for its control. On top of that, an electromechanical parking brake button is installed behind the gearshift lever; mechanics are not provided for in the new generation. A completely imperceptible change - the automatic transmission lever has lost its silver edging.

Finishes the central tunnel of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee interior with two cup holders and a center armrest (the smoker's package must be purchased at an additional cost, not included in the standard set). For passengers of the second row behind the armrest there will be a USB connector and a 12V socket for recharging.

Following the front panel of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee, minimal changes were made to the interior of the crossover. Front and rear seats in the full sense of the word migrated from the 5th generation. The front seats of the crossovers are made in a sporty style, with good lateral support and high head restraints. Adjustment of the front seats depends on the configuration of the crossover, both mechanical and electronic are available. The second row of seats of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover is designed for three passengers, although only the top version will have three head restraints, in the rest the head restraints are the same as for the first row of seats. The proportion of folding the rear seats is standard - 60/40, another is not provided.

The buyer practically cannot choose the material for the seat upholstery of the Jeep Cherokee 2018. In the basic configuration, the upholstery is fabric, black or beige. More expensive configurations received leather upholstery in black or gray. The center part of the seats in any configuration of the Jeep Cherokee 2018 will be perforated, the side ones are made of solid material, and for a more modern style, an embossed Jeep lettering was added to the seat backs.

The third and less noticeable change to the interior of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee touched the driver's seat, namely the instrument panel. The silver edging of the instruments has become an order of magnitude smaller, in the same way as on the central display. The instrument panel of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee remained essentially the same, on the sides of the dashboard there is a tachometer and a speedometer with white backlighting, and the center is reserved for the color display of the on-board computer.

The steering wheel of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover also received slight changes, due to an increase in the silver edging, the shape and function buttons were changed. The center is reserved for the manufacturer's emblem, airbag and horn. The steering wheel can be adjusted in height and depth, with a good margin of adjustment. On the sides behind the wheel you can find the crossover light control selector and the Start / Stop button, which is included in all trim levels of the new 2018 Jeep Cherokee.

To say that the interior of the new 2018 Jeep Cherokee crossover has changed would be too loud. The new details are almost invisible, just like the cladding material. By changing the edging around the perimeter of the devices, the crossover in the cabin has become more expressive and modern, but in no way better in terms of functionality or more comfortable.

It used components from Mercedes-Benz, including a lot of electronic systems. The SUV began to be positioned as a more prestigious model with very powerful engines.

More reviews of new crossovers:

The revolutionary changes in the appearance of the new generation Jeep Cherokee immediately divided the army of fans of the American SUV into two camps. Representatives of the first are indignant, the second half is intrigued by design innovations. We certainly cannot say how American designers (without the participation of an Italian studio) ventured to change the traditional and classic appearance inherent in the previous generation of the model, but ... the appearance of the "brick on wheels" (this is how Cherokee SUVs look since 1974) can be called stylish and attractive impossible. Did the Americans guess with the "new face" of the car? We will receive the answer in the fall of 2013, when sales of the new model will begin in the USA.

Before starting to describe the appearance of the model, it is worth noting that the new Jeep Cherokee 2013-2014 is presented in four versions. The first three - Cherokee Sport, Cherokee Latitude and Cherokee Limited look like crossovers and differ from each other only in small external decor details, but the Cherokee Trailhawk is a real off-road conqueror with off-road tires, compact front and rear bumpers made of black plastic, engine compartment protection and elements of the all-wheel drive transmission with metal sheets, two towing eyes at the front and one at the rear, painted in bright red and increased ground clearance to 220 mm (for other versions clearance 195 mm). The outer dimensions of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee body are: 4625 mm long, 1860 mm wide, 1680 mm high, with a 2700 mm wheelbase.

The body of the Cherokee Trailhawk also has geometric cross-country characteristics worthy of an SUV: 29.8 degrees - the angle of entry, 23.3 degrees - the angle of the ramp to overcome, 32.1 degrees - the angle of departure, the ford depth available for forcing at speeds up to 8 km / h is 510 mm ...

The new Cherokee looks amazing in our opinion. Seven branded (Jeep's business card) grille slots are dressed in chrome, a stylish front bumper with a huge additional streamlined air intake is protected at the bottom by unpainted plastic, the headlights are located on three levels. The upper stylish strips of head lighting equipment with strokes of LEDs, the central blocks of additional light in neat wells are organically complemented by large foglights. The waves on the hood look amazing, forming ridges in the transitions to the swollen front fenders.

Side part of the body with square-like wheel arches designed to accommodate rubber 215/60 R17 or tire 215/55 R18 on 17 inch steel or light alloy disks 17-18 radius, curved and high sill line, smooth surfaces of the sidewalls, falling roofline, compact coma - a crossover of pure water.

If the Jeep logo was not on the surface of the tailgate, the car could be ranked as any European or Asian manufacturer. A huge bumper with integrated trapeziums of muffler nozzles, carefully covering the body of the crossover at the rear, a compact tailgate is crowned with a spoiler, narrow shades of marker lamps with LED filling try to repeat the shape and size of the headlights of the head lighting equipment, while the shades are placed very high above the road surface and support the glass with a heel doors.

Originality, style and space exterior design break all stereotypes regarding the conservative exterior of the Jeep Cherokee of previous generations. It is also worth noting that the new body has a low drag coefficient of air flow, which has a beneficial effect not only on fuel efficiency, but also on the car's handling.

• It remains only to mention the options offered flowers enamels for painting the body of the new Jeep Cherokee: Bright White (white), Billet Silver (dark silver), Cashmere Pearl (beige), Granite (dark gray), True Blue (dark blue), Eco Green (dark green) , Mango Tango (orange), Deep Cherry Red (red) and Brilliant Black (black).

The interior of the new Jeep Cherokee in 2014 matches the exterior of the novelty, and compared to the interior of the previous generation, the model has changed beyond recognition. The quality of the materials used (soft plastics, fabric or leather), according to Jeep representatives, is of premium class.

Inside the car, a completely new dashboard is installed with a 3.5-inch screen of a bot computer or a 7-inch full-color screen, a multifunctional steering wheel, new driver and front passenger seats with bright lateral support. As an option, it is possible to order an electric adjustment, heating and ventilation of the front seats.

On the center console of the initial versions of the new Cherokee, a 5-inch color touchscreen is installed, in more expensive trim levels an 8.4-inch touchscreen monitor.

As options responsible for comfort and safety, there is a huge list of systems: an advanced multimedia system with 9 speakers, navigation, a rear view camera, a parallel and perpendicular parking assistant, front and rear parking sensors, systems monitoring blind spots, lane markings, adaptive cruise control capable of braking and completely stopping the car, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and engine start with a button, panoramic roof and other chips.

For three passengers of the second row of seats with a margin in all directions, the rear row is able to move along the passenger compartment, thus increasing the legroom of passengers or the size of the trunk, the split backrest changes the angle of inclination. The rear seats fold down to form a flat cargo area.

Specifications new generation Jeep Cherokee 2013-2014: the car is built on a platform. The suspension is fully independent with classic MacPherson struts in front and multi-link architecture at the rear, disc brakes, electric power steering is installed. The novelty with three different types of all-wheel drive transmission is capable of expanding the audience of potential crossover owners, but the Cherokee Trailhawk version can still be safely attributed to the class of SUVs, because the car is equipped with an advanced Active Drive Lock all-wheel drive system (two-way transfer case with a reduction gear, active redistribution of torque along the axles , locking center and rear differential, Selec-Terrain system with five modes).

The Active Drive II transmission is slightly simpler, its difference from the most advanced all-wheel drive system is the absence of a rear differential lock.
The simplest Active Drvive I system is typically crossover, the electronics are responsible for the distribution of torque along the axes, and by default the thrust from the engine is transferred to the front wheels, and only when slipping, up to 50% of the moment is transferred to the rear wheels.
The engines for the new Jeep Cherokee 2014 from the beginning of sales are provided for two gasoline:

• Four-cylinder Tigershark Multiair series 2.4-liter (186 hp) and 3.2-liter V6 Pentastar (271 hp). The newest automatic machine with 9 works in tandem with the motors !!! steps - box 9 automatic transmission.

Fuel consumption: the manufacturer promises that the 186 horsepower engine is content with only 7.6 liters of gasoline in the combined driving mode.

It will be possible to buy a new generation Jeep Cherokee in Russia from the spring of 2014, the price of the new item will become known closer to the start of sales.

5 doors SUVs

History of the Jeep Cherokee / Jeep Cherokee

In 1974, the Jeep SJ was built on the basis of Wagoneer. Its 3-inch shorter, 2-door version was named the Cherokee. The car had a Quadra-Trac transfer case (the first fully automatic permanent all-wheel drive system). The line of power units consisted of two 4.2 liter engines. and a 5.2 liter V8. The Jeep Cherokee / SJ was produced from 1974 to 1983. In total, about 376 thousand units were produced.

For the 1984 model year, American Motors Corp. (AMC) has unveiled the second generation of the Jeep Cherokee SUV as the XJ. 1986 Chrysler buys AMC.

Cherokee XJ received a frameless body on an all-wheel drive chassis. It is noteworthy that at that time the Cherokee was the only car in the compact class to have four doors and two all-wheel drive systems - CommandTrac and SelectTrac. Although rear-wheel drive models are often found in the United States, which Americans like to use as tractors for a variety of trailers, these cars cannot boast of good cross-country ability. The front suspension is spring, the rear suspension is spring. Available in 3-door and 5-door versions. Moreover, five-door luxury jeeps of the new generation were sold under the name Wagoneer. They were distinguished by four small headlights, built one above the other, as well as side trims "under the tree".

In the role of the main driving force, two gasoline engines were installed: a 4-cylinder with a volume of 2.5 liters. (128 hp) and a 6-cylinder 4.0 liter. (193 hp). An economical Renault turbodiesel (21 DT) with a volume of 2.1 liters was also installed. (80 hp), in 1991 it was replaced by a more powerful Italian VM turbodiesel with a volume of 2.5 liters (116 hp). Gasoline engines were combined with a 5-speed manual, or 3 or 4-speed automatic transmissions, with diesels, only a manual transmission was installed.

Cherokee is voracious. The average gas mileage of the 4-liter six-cylinder engine, offered from 1988 to 1991, is 14 l / 100 km. In all-wheel drive mode, this figure can rise to 20 l / 100 km even with moderate driving style. The 21 DT turbodiesel seems to be more economical, the average consumption of which is 10 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km, but in normal operation the fuel consumption also increases to 14-17 liters. The reason for this, along with the Cherokee's 1,580 kg curb weight, is an angular body with poor aerodynamic performance.

The interior of the Cherokee is decorated in a typical American style: a lot of chrome, not always logical arrangement of switches and levers, a high transmission tunnel in the middle of the cabin. The driver's seat is quite comfortable and has several adjustments. The back seat is also quite spacious - you can ride three people. The Jeep Cherokee Limited (Country) modification is rich in equipment.

On March 22, 1990, the millionth XJ-series SUV, the bright red Cherokee Limited, was launched. In seven years of production, the Cherokee has become not only the epitome of an exemplary off-road vehicle, but also the most popular model of the Chrysler corporation in Europe.

At the beginning of 1997, the front end was restyled, the radiator grille was changed: its pattern became different, with large vertical slots. New bumpers and taillights were installed, the list of trim levels and options was significantly expanded.

In the 1998 model year, the radiator grille was changed again (instead of a 10-slot, it became a 7-slot).

The car was offered in three trim levels: the base Mounty, the improved Sport and the prestigious Limited with leather seats and six-way electric adjustments. The standard equipment includes power steering, ABS, power windows, light-alloy wheels.

In 2001, at the Detroit Auto Show, the third generation of the Jeep Cherokee SUV was presented under the KJ designation, which replaced the outdated Jeep Cherokee XJ. However, this name was retained only for the European market, and in the USA the model is called Jeep Liberty.

There are two basic trim levels - Sport and Limited. The Sport version is easily recognizable externally: the car has unpainted bumpers and wheel arch linings, as well as a shiny “Cherokee Sport” patch on the front doors. The Limited has body-colored exterior panels, leather, polished aluminum and a host of comfort enhancements in the cabin.

In addition to its unusual appearance, the Jeep Cherokee KJ has a very rigid body. The car does not have a frame in the usual sense - instead, engineers have created a powerful frame made of high-strength steel with developed spars along the entire bottom, thanks to which the supporting body is as strong as the frame structure. In addition, a new chassis with independent front suspension was developed for the new SUV, which makes the car very comfortable on public roads, and at the same time maintains its excellent off-road qualities.

The Cherokee has enormous suspension endurance potential. The lower arms are cast from ductile iron and the upper arms are forged steel. All this, together with the anti-roll bar and the rack and pinion steering mechanism, is covered from below by a powerful steel subframe half a finger thick.

Retaining the traditional seven slots in the radiator grille and round headlights, the designers noticeably smoothed the chopped body lines. The distinctive roofline, the external spare wheel and the wide wheel arches give this SUV a muscular, dynamic and overpowering look. Visually, the new Cherokee appears to be shorter than the old one. But this is an optical illusion - in fact, it is 25 cm longer. Optical illusion is a consequence of the fact that the new car is also 24 cm taller.

The increased angle of inclination of the windshield, aggressive appearance of the radiator grille emphasize the solid appearance of the car. Four halogen headlights brilliantly illuminate the path ahead, minimizing dazzle for oncoming drivers.

The interior of the Jeep Cherokee KJ is thought out to the smallest detail and is in perfect harmony with the exterior design of the car. The salon combines modern design and individual elements in a retro style. The quality of the finish has improved markedly. The entire interior is made in a combination of rounded shapes and colors of black and white. The instrument panel is designed in a laconic and no-frills way. Round white scales, at the head - a large speedometer and tachometer, on either side of them - indicators of temperature and fuel level. The center console and tunnel have silver polished aluminum inserts. Round cutouts of the air conditioner, rounded handles on embossed doors with deep well thought out pockets and places for glasses all add a kind of "aesthetic-practical" comfort to the Cherokee interior. The fluorescent lighting for the instrument panel and the audio system display adds a sense of comfort.

A wide door opens the way to the driver's seat, and a handle located on the A-pillar will help to overcome the high threshold. The seat has electrical adjustments (with the exception of the backrest angle), which allow you to quickly take a comfortable position. The Cherokee's rear seat can be folded with one hand in a 65/35 ratio. Loops and hooks located in the load compartment will help to securely secure the transported cargo. The steering wheel has a wide range of adjustments and a well-chosen diameter.

The Jeep Cherokee KJ has several engines, the most powerful of which is the 3.7-liter V6 with 210 horsepower, which comes only with a four-speed automatic transmission. Next comes the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 154 hp. In addition, a 2.5-liter turbo diesel with 140 hp is also available.

For those looking to buy a real off-road vehicle, there is a special Up Country Suspension package, which includes underbody plates, hitch, suspension with increased ground clearance, and an automatic body leveling system when towing heavy loads.

As before, the Jeep Cherokee offers two four-wheel drive systems. The standard Command-Track system with front axle disengagement provides excellent traction in all conditions - whether driving on snowy trails or off-road. Keep in mind, however, that the Command-Track Cherokee is a purely rear-wheel-drive vehicle whose front wheels can only be connected for off-road use. The Selec-Trac permanent all-wheel drive system provides the driver with additional convenience. At the same time, the system provides high fuel efficiency and reliable operation of the transmission in all road conditions.

The highlight of both systems is the ability to switch transmission modes while the vehicle is moving. In particular, this allows you to engage all-wheel drive on the go, there is no longer a need to reduce the speed.

The Jeep Cherokee is equipped with a range of features to help the driver feel more confident in difficult road conditions, especially when driving on slippery and uneven roads. These include, first of all, the anti-lock braking system (ABS), the Trac-Lok rear axle limited-slip differential, and the torque control system transmitted to the vehicle's wheels. These and other systems provide the Jeep Cherokee with a phenomenal ride quality that allows the driver to fully enjoy off-road driving.

For the 2005 model year, the Cherokee was restyled. The changes affected the shape of the bumpers and the radiator grille, which now houses the fog lights, located in the updated version just below the headlights. In addition, for a number of modifications of this car, the radiator grille has become chrome.

Jeep Cherokee is loved for its discreet, emphasized strict appearance, remarkable off-road qualities, reliability and versatility. The combination of endurance, strength, safety and excellent ride quality allows Cherokee owners to move around in all conditions with confidence and comfort.

The world-famous 2014 Grand Cherokee SUV made its debut in early 2013 in Detroit, and a more compact Jeep Cherokee with a drastically redesigned Chrysler company presented at the New York show in the spring.

The new exterior can be called controversial, but at the same time quite original and modern. American designers (without the participation of an Italian studio) dared to change the traditional and classic appearance inherent in the previous generation of the model.

It is noteworthy that the Cherokee 2013-2014 is presented in four versions. The first three - Sport, Latitude and Limited look like crossovers and differ from each other only in small external decor details, but the Cherokee Trailhawk is a real off-road conqueror with off-road tires, compact front and rear bumpers made of black plastic, engine compartment protection and four-wheel drive elements transmissions with metal sheets, two towing eyes at the front and one at the rear, painted in bright red, and increased ground clearance to 220 mm (for other versions, the clearance is 195 mm). The body of the Cherokee Trailhawk also has geometric cross-country characteristics worthy for an SUV: 29.8 degrees - the angle of entry, 23.3 degrees - the angle of the ramp to overcome, 32.1 degrees - the angle of the exit, the ford depth available for forcing at speeds up to 8 km / h is 510 mm.

The 2014 Cherokee is built on the Fiat platform, which is already used for the Dodge Dart sedan and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchback. The front suspension of the SUV is "MacPherson", the rear is an independent multi-link. The maximum suspension travel is 17 centimeters at the front and 18 centimeters at the rear. External dimensions of the body are: 4625 mm long, 1860 mm wide, 1680 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm.

On the bonnet with smooth relief lines, there are seven vertically arranged radiator grille ovals with a chrome edging, and the lower grille located in the bumper opposite, stretches horizontally between the fog lights integrated into the bumper, and is also accented with chrome. The front bumper itself is protected at the bottom by unpainted plastic. Stylish narrow headlights with LED strokes and integrated direction indicators have found shelter in the wings. Another pair of more noticeable "eyes" below, directly above the bumper. Large foglights complete the image.

The side part of the body is characterized by square-like wheel arches designed to accommodate rubber 215/60 R17 or tires 215/55 R18 on 17-inch steel or light-alloy wheels of 17-18 radius, curved and high sill line, smooth sidewall surfaces and a sloping roof line. Along the entire perimeter, including arches and sills, the body is endowed with protective plastic, hinting at good off-road conquest abilities, and on the roof, in addition to the roof rails, it is possible to install a panoramic sunroof filling the interior with natural light. The compact stern received a huge bumper with integrated trapeziums of muffler nozzles, a compact tailgate, crowned with a spoiler, and narrow shades of marker lights with LED filling.

It should also be noted that the new body has a low drag coefficient of air flow, which favorably affects not only fuel efficiency, but also the car's handling.

The interior of the new Jeep Cherokee 2014 matches the exterior, and compared to the interior of the previous generation, the model has changed beyond recognition. The quality of the materials used (soft plastics, fabric or leather), according to Jeep representatives, is of premium class. The buyer has a choice of five different color themes for interior decoration.

Depending on the configuration, the dashboard of the SUV can be equipped with either a 3.5-inch TFT display or a seven-inch color screen. They can display data from the navigation system, fuel consumption figures or information about the song being played by the audio system. The initial 2014 Cherokee has a 5-inch color touchscreen on the center console, while more expensive trims have an 8.4-inch touchscreen monitor. It controls the Uconnect Access multimedia complex.

The steering wheel, with the help of integrated buttons, will allow the driver to control many functions without being distracted from the road, and the instruments are represented by a pair of large round dials of the tachometer and speedometer, with an electronic display built in between them, informing the driver about the modes of operation of the car.

New driver and front passenger seats with bright side bolsters. As an option, it is possible to order an electric adjustment, heating and ventilation of the front seats. For three passengers in the second row of seats with a margin in all directions, the rear row is able to move along the passenger compartment, thus increasing passenger legroom or trunk dimensions. The split backrest changes the angle of inclination. The rear seats fold down to form a flat cargo area.

The motor range of the model includes two gasoline engines. For the basic version, a 186-horsepower "Fiat" four-cylinder 2.4 engine of the Tigershark MultiAir 2 family is offered. The top modification will receive a 3.2-liter V-shaped "six" Pentastar, which develops 271 horsepower and 315 Nm of torque. In tandem with the motors, a new "automatic" with 9 steps works.

For Cherokee 2014 prepared three options for the all-wheel drive system. The first - Active Drive I - automatically connects the rear axle if necessary, leaving the car in front-wheel drive in normal driving modes.

Active Drive II has a 4-Low mode for driving off-road at low speeds and towing a trailer. In its activation, the center differential is blocked, the role of which is played by the multi-plate clutch. The ground clearance in this version is 2.5 centimeters larger.

Drive Lock system - designed for particularly difficult road conditions, based on Drive II, but with locking not only the center, but also the rear differential.

As options responsible for comfort and safety, there is a huge list of systems: an advanced multimedia system with 9 speakers, navigation, a rear view camera, a parallel and perpendicular parking assistant, front and rear parking sensors, systems monitoring blind spots, lane markings, adaptive cruise control capable of braking and completely stopping the car, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and engine start with a button, panoramic roof and other chips.
