Compact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Jeep Cherokee Mk5 (chassis code KL) is a compact crossover in production from 2013. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.2 liters.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Jeep Cherokee V (KL) uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Jeep Cherokee sits in a class of its own. Built to rival models like the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan. On price it actually competes with cars like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. The 2.2-litre diesel engine is an eager performer, especially when fited with the smooth-shifting 9-speed auto.

Pros

Impressive off-road capability
Good fuel economy

Cons

Pricey compared to rivals
Lacks dynamic edge

Reviewer score 63% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The Cherokee has favorable approach, departure and breakover angles, making it a surprisingly capable off-roader. The front bucket seats are almost like thrones, soft yet supportive and all-day usable. Unfortunately, the backseat is a bit tight on head- and legroom, at least for six-footers.

Pros

Impressive off-road capability
Powerful V6 engine
Responsive, responsive infotainment

Cons

Lackluster interior
No rear-seat storage
