The Cherokee has among the worst fuel economy in its compact crossover-and-SUV segment, according to both the EPA and our real-world testing.

2022 Jeep Cherokee Adds X Off-Road Trim.

A firm-feeling brake pedal engenders calm in panic-braking scenarios, and the Cherokee's 70-mph-to-zero emergency-braking performance is average for its class.

We wish the steering provided more feedback from the road, but it's nicely weighted and accurate. Impacts are absorbed without much excess reverberation, and the Jeep never feels floaty on the highway. Relatively firm suspension tuning controls body roll in corners without compromising the ride quality. As you'd expect from a Jeep, the Cherokee drives with heftiness and solidity, making it feel larger than its rivals. We found it to be lackluster compared with the V-6 due to its dull responses to throttle inputs the four-cylinder Cherokee also has less towing capacity (4000 pounds maximum towing capacity versus the V-6 Cherokee's towing capacity of 4500 pounds). While we've yet to test the turbo engine at the track, we've spent time with it during our first drive. Both pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. The 270-hp 3.2-liter V-6 is the standard engine, and a torquier turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is optional.

We'd also select the Trailer Tow package, which unlocks the Cherokee's maximum towing capacity of 4500 pounds.

Other desirable standard features include an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a full-size spare tire, red tow hooks, a matte-black hood decal, an off-road suspension that increases the ride height, and 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. An advanced all-wheel-drive system that features a locking rear differential is included, too. We'd choose the Trailhawk model, which gets the stout V-6 as standard.
