2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 2.0T - Redline: Review

  • More refined exterior styling, a new turbocharged 2.0L engine, and new tech features make the 2019 Jeep Cherokee more appealing to compact crossover buyers. While the Trail Rated Trailhawk trim gives you nearly 9" inches of ground clearance and a real 4WD system for those who actually plan to use their Cherokee off road. However, those who plan to keep it on paved roads will find that its on-road dynamics continue to place it behind rivals and its frustrating 9-speed transmission still needs further improvements in shift response and smoothness.

    So car review guys says i don't like sport mode cuz it turns of traction control and then complains about it downshifting slow and was lagy.... UHH try putting it in sport mode that's what its for! I have the 200s with the V6, the 9speed is designed to get you the best MPG it wants to always be in the highest gear possible to save MPG. You switch it to sport mode and most of that lag and slow downshift goes away. It then wants to stay in lower gears and keep RPMS up.

      Another pet peave of mine is people comparing it to the CRV and saying well it doesn't handle as good as a CRV. Who is cross shopping a CRV and a trailhawk? If your going to say it doesn't handle like a CRV you should also say but the CRV can't climb a hill.

    It's a heavy car, expect it not to accelerate that quickly. Plus it has a lot of 4x4 gear. I owned a V6 Limited, loved it. I also found the transmission very smooth, perhaps on rare occasions it may have jerked forward. My seats felt great, not sure why Sofyan was uncomfortable.

    We have a 2019 Trailhawk and it’s just now turning up to 30,000. Miles and we love it so much. It has a plate underneath the transmission so it’s not too easy to steal or take parts off of it. It’s a 9 speed transmission and a 6 cylinder turbo motor with good gas we just float on the ground. We live on a mountain and if we have to leave it there and get away from it for our own safety this car will do the job. We love the fact that nobody can steal the catalytic converter or anything under our vehicle. 😊

    I leased a 2017 Trailhawk, after 4 trips to the dealer they finally fixed my transmission so it doesn't jolt me out the front window! With that said I have driven some other CUV size models and am liking this one more and more. However, I still leased it and will likely get out early, but I have no idea what I really want. I want a PHEV with most of these features you can get on the Jeep, but its not happening so far. The lack of instant acceleration does suck! The PHEV's are instant with no gear shifting, but you give up power and features so not ready for that just yet. Nice review! I love the ventilated seats and many do not offer it, well in my price range! I am just thinking of keeping the Jeep for 15 years, but not sure it can make it, I do drive low miles....

    This man should have done this review with the Limited or Overland model. The Limited and the overland models would compare nicely to the other competition reviews. The Trailhawk Elite is in a league of its own (off-road). POOR CHOICE BY THE REVIEWER . I drive the 2019 Limited and I am very pleased these last 8 months, comfort, design, engine performance (v6 3.2L) and the 4x4 in the Limited model is great for my Western New York winter that has hit us so far. I originally was looking at the Trailhawk but I have a family now and a budget. 4x4'ing (off road) in any Vehicle will cost you money and my bright white limited with chrome rims, less aggressive tires (MPG) and panoramic roof is my stress reliever these days. its a treat to drive! Its my first Jeep and I LOVE IT!Thank you for your time.

  • @ryanshannon7703
    @ryanshannon7703 4 роки тому

    Is this the same 9spd ZF that's in the Fiat 500x?
    I ask because my wife has that and in Normal/Auto mode it will sometimes 'stall' when slowing to a creep at a light, but let's say trying to accelerate back into traffic for a right turn. The problem (characteristic?) goes away when engaged in any other mode, or in the 'manual shift' mode. Honestly, I think manual mode is the most reliable way to drive with this transmission, but if I wanted to do that I'd just up and buy a proper manual transmission. The other option would be 'sport' mode, but I don't need it to keep 4500 rpms in 3rd gear going 45mph on a city street.
    I think it's really a result of the Transmission Control Module/Unit programming in Normal or Eco Mode (whichever the Cherokee has equipped). The problem definitely isn't present during the manual shift cycling, nor is it present in Sport or 'Traction' mode. I think either ZF or FCA tuned the transmission way too conservatively for the typical daily modes and just called it a day.

    Informative. But I don't understand why the host keeps referencing Rav 4's, CRV's and others as equal comparisons. This Jeep Trailhawk should be presented with an emphasis on its 4x4 off road capabilities. That is where the focus should be. It is the soul of this version of Cherokee. The gentleman should have presented a non Trailhawk Jeep, for that is where this review was predicated on. Glossing over the 4x4 capabilities of this version of the Cherokee, does it somewhat of a disservice.

      Yeah, there are a plethora of contradictions in this review. And for the record, I've owner a Cherokee Trailhawk for over six years, and the tires that come on these vehicles are some of the best in the business. The provide great performance, are not noisy in the least provided you rotate them regularly and keep your alignment in check (as with any tire), and they last forever. I replaced my first set at 65K miles, and not because they were worn out, but only because I was going into winter and thought a fresh set was a good idea. I have 30K miles on the second set now, and the last time I had it in for service the dealer said they could not see any discernible wear on the tires. They are quiet on the highway (no drumming noise that this idiot alludes to). I agree that the ride is very quiet, comfortable and calming. It's a relaxing vehicle to drive, yet can take you just about anywhere regardless of the conditions.

Not perfect, but for most drivers it will perform just fine. The 0-60 is equal between both vehicles, however the turbo accelerates better beyond 60. For kicks, I will take the new 2019 turbo to the strip and see how it will compare to the 14.803 @ 93.06 I was able to squeeze out of my 2015.

    I like all his videos on cars but he doesn't really understand what it is about Jeeps. When he first starts the video he says the trail rated badge is because of the tires, later he also mentions the 4X4 options. The trail badge means it has skid plates to protect against rocks, also has the air filter in a position to stay dry for water crossings, a transfer case for lower gearing to crawl out of places you get stuck in with regular gears. On the Cherokees you have the option to electronically lock rear end to a posi. Watching his videos I know he likes the Porsche and BMW's for powerful motors, Jeep is made for trails first and being comfortable on paved roads second. I love my '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 318 motor, it is so comfortable on and off road. It takes care of me in Colorado for the last 20 years. Once you own a Jeep, you learn to appreciate what they can do. If you just want to drive on the streets buy a Honda, hehe. Sorry, I had to throw the last part in, no offense to Honda lovers. I can take my Jeep up mountain trails over boulders with ice and my Jeep doesn't slip but if I have to get out and unlock a gate, I can barely keep my feet under me.

    AND... lastly, I had a 90 Wrangler new, a 92 Wrangler new, a 95 Wrangler new, a 97 TJ Wrangler new. Consumer Reports hated them. Yet, all 4 were really reliable oddly enough. Bunches of rattles that drove me nuts, otherwise they held up really well and I put over 50K miles on each one while I was in sales at the time. Then I had Toyotas, Hondas, Range Rovers, Ford and Chevy pickups. A Mini Countryman, even a couple of Mazda's and Kia Sorrento SXL-V6. After all that, I just purchased a new 19 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited 6CYL. Auto, 8spd. I love it and I'm enjoying it more then any of the other cars and trucks I ever had. I'll take the FCA risk. You only live once and I'm going to enjoy this. Then again, we may live more then once, there's a lot to be said for reincarnation. HA.

I am 5'6" in height so the seat comfort was adequate for me. The best Comfort Seats are perhaps the Cadillac and the Lexus but you can have two Jeeps for the price of one Cadillac or Lexus. I traded in two Jeep Cherokees for two 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elites. There is a noticeable lag when accelerating into traffic.

      Grand Cherokees are bigger with more luxury and options with interior, 4X4, motors. If you don't know you need to go to a dealer and have them explain it to you. I am looking at the Overland models, more specific the High Altitude, with 19 speakers, air shocks that you can raise and lower the vehicle. The trail hawks are a cheaper version of the Overland Jeep which is the more off road version of Jeep, then the High Altitude and Summit are the more luxurious version of Overland. Also look at all the videos of the different models on your computer. I don't think I want a 4 cylinder in a Jeep, 6 cylinder is the smallest I would go.
