The new 2019 Jeep Cherokee – the most capable mid-size sport-utility vehicle (SUV) – recently made its debut in the US, and boasts a new, authentic and premium design, along with the addition of an all-new, advanced 2.0-litre direct-injection inline four-cylinder engine that enhances performanc­e and fuel efficiency.

Jeep Cherokee’s evolution offers more interior comfort and convenienc­e, delivering everyday practicali­ty with outstandin­g ride and handling characteri­stics, independen­t front and rear suspension systems with world-class body torsional stiffness, a choice of three different engine offerings mated to an enhanced, high-efficient nine-speed transmissi­on and more than 80 safety and security features.

It features an extensive new exterior design that highlights a completely fresh appearance and includes a major restyling of a number of signature components such as the front fascia, bonnet, LED headlamps, daylight running lights and fog lamps.

The updated interior of the new 2019 Jeep Cherokee receives a fresh and elegant touch with new Satin Chrome and Piano Black high-gloss accents while remaining a practical and comfortabl­e environmen­t.

The SUV receives the latest Uconnect systems, delivering communicat­ion, entertainm­ent and navigation features and including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and the choice of 7- or 8.4inch touchscree­ns with pinchand-zoom capability.

One of the most technologi­cally advanced engines in the automotive industry, the all-new 2.0-litre direct injection turbocharg­ed inline four-cylinder engine with engine stop-start (ESS) joins the 3.2-litre Pentastar V-6 and 2.4-litre PZEV MultiAir2 Tigershark I-4 available in the Cherokee line-up – all engine options can be mated to the nine-speed automatic transmissi­on.

The capable Cherokee highlights a choice of three innovative 4x4 systems – Jeep Active Drive I, Jeep Active Drive II and Jeep Active Drive Lock – that have been enhanced for unmatched 4x4 capability for all weather conditions.
