Meet The Updated 2023 Jeep Cherokee

Chloe Taylor·January 16, 2023·0 comments

Equipped with class-leading off-road abilities and tow capacity, it’s evident that Jeep’s expertise in making rough and rugged SUVs did not elude the compact Cherokee.

Though the Cherokee is gearing up for a total makeover in the coming model year, Jeep has made a few changes to spice up its 2023 model. These changes include reducing the crossover’s lineup to two trims and dropping the crossover’s top-spec V6 engine in favor of a gutsy turbocharged four-cylinder. If you’d love to lease the latest Jeep Cherokee, here is what you should know.

Engine And Transmission

The 2023 Jeep Cherokee gets two different engines for its two trim levels. The entry-level Altitude Lux is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Opting for the off-road-ready Trailhawk model unlocks a zesty 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that replaces the optional 271-hp V6 from last year. The turbo-four puts out 270 horses and an impressive 295 lb-ft of torque. Both engines hook up with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Despite its small size, the Cherokee still drives like other Jeep models, which means it feels heavier but still delivers a well-mannered ride. It also boasts class-leading off-road performance. The 2023 Jeep Cherokee has a max towing capacity of 4000 lbs.

Fuel Economy

According to EPA, the Altitude Lux model gets a rating of 21 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway. The Trailhawk model, with its powerful 270-hp turbo-four is rated 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.

Interior

The Cherokee has a roomy, comfortable interior adorned with user-friendly controls and essential convenience features. It features Jeep’s top-rated Uconnect4 infotainment system, which runs on an 8.4-inch touchscreen display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the Cherokee’s trim levels. Other standard features include premium leather-trimmed bucket seats, built-in navigation, a six-speaker audio system, etc. Shoppers looking to deck out the Cherokee’s interior can choose from the SUV’s long list of optional features and packages.

Safety And Driver Assistance

The Cherokee is not shy of enhanced safety and driver assistance technologies. Highlights of the 2023 Jeep Cherokee include;

Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection
Full-speed forward collision warning with active braking
Lane departure warning with lane keep assist
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
Front and rear park assist with rear stop
Parallel and perpendicular park assist with full stop, etc.
