Congrats on 100k subs!
Glad you liked the seats! I work for the company that builds the Cherokee seats for Belvidere Assembly. I'm on the driver line, so I built that comfy seat that you were sitting in. I own a 2019 Latitude 4x4 and I love it! Great video!
Thank you
@@skylark5789 thanks for the compliment and support! Are you in the Northern Illinois area then?
Super comfy seats in my 2021 Cherokee 80th Anniv Edition! Thanks!
@@robertjohansen8572 glad to hear you love them!
@Dana Smethhurst thank you much for what you do! I recently got a ‘21 Lat Lux and I’ve had it for almost a year, the seats are oh so comfortable. My seats are finished in Ski Grey! They look gorgeous and the 2.0T is a blast!
Said it before and I’ll say it again, he makes great videos. 👍🏻
I have a 2017 cherokee limited FWD and it's a great SUV, the V6 is a phenomenal engine
Love the Canadian content guys!
Honestly I don't understand that much about cars, but I love watching your videos because they're easy to digest for someone without much knowledge.
Some good talk for Renegade 1.4 170hp A9 owner. After two years that Cherokee can be a naxt step. Just love that "snow", makes huge work on snow or ice
Love the new look and the 2.0 turbo it was a fun Jeep to have.
You’re right, it looks less juvenile!
Nice!
So all three of these 4x4 systems in the jeep do have the rear axle disconnect attribute in order to eliminate parasitic loss in the drivetrain to save fuel.
However, when it is that cold it will always be connected due to the possibility of ice and snow being present. 37 degrees Fahrenheit or colder this will happen. It will be heavily biased to the front wheels but connected nonetheless.
Hope this helps. Feel free to do the same test at warmer temps. You will probably see better results.
Excellent video and review of the Cherokee.
My 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk's (with 2.0L turbo) trip computer is always about 10% optimistic. On long mostly uninterrupted highway trips it will do it's rated 28-29mpg, but stop and go and city traffic really eats through fuel, worse than what it is rated for. After 23k miles I am averaging 21mpg (manually calculated) with about 60% of that city driving. Best tank so far was 27.5mpg and was 90-95% highway.
Thanks for showing the difference in snow and auto in selec-terrain
FCA is recalling the engine because of all the problems.
So thankful I went for the V6.
Which engine has the problems ?
@@dillonsouth1 the 4 cylinder turbo
Drove my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4X4 V-6 from New York to Florida and two weeks urban driving in Florida during January 2020. Maintained 75 mph on highway, when not in traffic, which did occur around city areas. My average was just under 27 mpg. Have driven 1600 miles mixed conditions I’ve taken mpg at every full up and consistently got over 26mpg. I’ve done this trip four times with the same mpg. Real world mileage using adaptive speed control on highway. My Cherokee is totally reliable and just so comfortable on the highway.
I have this exact model/year/color!! Still so much to learn on it but I love it!
We have a 2019 Cherokee Limited with the 2 liter turbo. On a trip from Colorado to Houston Texas, we averaged 30.3 mpg. We have done this trip twice in the last year, and the average has always been over 30 mpg.
he went 75 the whole way which murders fuel economy and the tires were so unbalanced he was likely turned 5-6 degrees to the left to drive straight
But how??? I have a 2022 Cherokee limited and average 23 mpg
One way from COL - HOU? that's downhill the overall
Great review man......subscribed!
Another quality video. A+
I have owned two Jeep Cherokee vehicles, both with the V-6 and 9-speed auto, and both were the "TRAIL HAWK" edition. Both were very good vehicles, and were comfortable and easy to drive for long distances with out getting tired!
Loving the background music
They're very efficient. Drove one up north and averaged 27 mpg. Top trim one. I love them after driving them despite the looks.
Excellent honest review. I love my 2015 I think it looks sporty, but I love that 2020 model engine! Uograde this year for sure.
i really loved my dads 77 wagoneer. had a 360ci v8 and a sweet sound system for that time
Im so glad u put it in mpg for the americans lol its verryyyyy much appreciated
This guy does a great job
Gotta love that B-roll
That color is everything.
Yes congrats on 100k subs in a pretty good pace. Much deserved. Anyway thanks for sharing this Steven, now that they FINALLY changed the alien/snake looking front end to something much more handsome and grown up, I am actually interested in the Cherokee if I can't get the Colorado ZR2 that I have wanted since they came out a few years ago. I would prefer the Trailhawk trim since I like to go hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping, etc... and since I won't be rock bashing/crawling that would work just fine.
Hmmm I wonder if it is the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer that they have had in the plans for a while. Something to give FCA a competitor to the body on frame extra large SUVs from GM, Ford, Toyota, etc.... They already announced the 4x4Es for 3 of 4 of their vehicles. Should be interesting to say the least.
My wife has a '19 Trailhawk in this color. Our 3rd trailhawk actually...excellent vehicle.
I have a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk. It gets about 5mpg better in the summer time. I've regularly seen near 30 mpg highway cruising at 70 mph- mostly flat Ohio. There are a LOT of features with the Active Drive settings, as they also adjust the traction control system. My TH has been completely reliable, and is better off-road than a stock Wrangler Sport (thanks to the traction control and rear locker). It can just about match a stock Rubicon, it's biggest weakness is the relatively low ground clearance (9") and of course it can't be modified to the extent the Wranglers can be. Just know your vehicle and drive within it's limits. A stock Rubicon Wrangler can't match a Wrangler running 4" lift and 38's, either. ;)
8.7 actually ;)
I have a lift and 32’s on my trailhawk. 12 inches of clearance (just shy of 12 to be exact)
I own a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude plus it's amazing!
Oh yeah i own a 2021 Cherokee Latitude plus waddup
I rented a 19 4x4 limited with the 3.2 I averaged 25-26 driving from Dallas to New Orleans
Love that you do American stats too
just got a 2020 gladiator
I have 1 of the cherokees that has the 2.0L turbo and I took it on a 88 mile trip and averaged 32.5 miles per gallon
Thank you for putting the MPG on there.
My V6 trailhawk gets at least that mileage on the highway, so 1k more for the same HP and marginally better TQ? Plus I think the max tow rating only comes with the V6
winter mpg tests are always a little tricky because of the way they change the fuels for winter affects mileage. Winter blend fuel has a higher reid vapor pressure so it properly atomizes at cold temps. the net result according to the EPA is that winter blends have 1.7% less net energy than summer blends. There are other factors as well such as road surfaces with high Mu (snow and salt) and denser air to slice through. All things being equal you should expect a loss of about 1-2 mpg compared to summer.
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THE U.S MEASUREMENTS‼️ That’s what I average in my 2016 Camry SE 😬
My 07 Grand Cherokee with the 3.0 diesel gets 22 mpg around town all day every day and it's lifted riding on 265's.
My '14 3.2 v6 sees 26-27 mpg on the highway in summer (hand calculated confirmed)
I have a 2018 Trailhawk 3.2 liter. If I keep the cruise set at 65-70, I average over 30 on the highway.
thank you for doing the actual math instead of just relying on computer! Really shows you have to track this stuff yourself with real numbers.
Depends on where you live, "warming up to 0C (32F)", gave me a smile living in California's central valley where we may get as low as 0C once or twice a year at predawn. Though, we can drive couple hours up into nearby Sierras high elevations for snow 'n' ice.
I have been driving a 2019 Cherokee Limited with this same engine and 4WD system in a rental for the past 3 weeks. I agree that the 2.0 L turbo is a great choice for this vehicle. In temps between 35F and 65F I have been averaging about 27mpg driving back and forth to work in mixed driving. In an 80 mile all highway run however this thing hit 30mpg. The rental is a few years old and has 33K miles on it so it is more broken in then the one in this video was. I love the vehicle when I am inside it. It has a ton of features like heated seats and steering wheel, remote start, keyless door handles, push button start, auto start stop, panoramic roof with sunroof, leather seats, apple carplay, navigation, and blind spot monitoring. The only thing I have never liked about these is the styling of the body. I can't wait to see what they do to the styling with the next generation Cherokee. I hope they keep the 2.0L turbo and also offer a hybrid.
I finally watched this. I own an 2006. I would love to own an new one yet this is why not at this time for me. Mine has an straight 6. Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust pipe. 180,000 + miles on it. Some work done. Yet I can get 22mpg. Then also I know how to dive on snow and ice. Extra settings for me personally is pointless. Yet I really do like the new ones. Those look very sharp. Who knows. Maybe some day. Yet we will see. I've been looking. Take care and thanks for sharing this new Jeep.
For US folks its about $38,872 USD doing the conversion. Could be slightly different with fees...
I’ve always wanted to know, so what’s the significance of a locking differential? Is it really that beneficial as compared to awd systems with non locking diffs? Great review BTW😀✌🏽(I opted for the 2019 RAV4 adventure trim solely because of Toyota’s reputation for reliability and I had a mopar vehicle before that gave me all kinds of problems, having said that, the Jeep Cherokee was an extremely attractive option, especially this high altitude version).
Since my 19 RAM has been in the shop for over a month for a leaking 3rd brake light. I don’t think I will be buying another FCA vehicle. Really hate the 9 speed in my Jeep Cherokee and that is with the v6. Might feel better with the turbo? Even with the v6 I average 28-31 mpg
Wagoneer? Is that the surprise coming to the Chicago Auto show?
I think the Wagoneer isn't ready just yet....But the G Cherokee has been seen with production sheet metal running around with cladding I think that is the one that will be shown at the Chicago Auto Show
It is a new Wrangler SE package.
Possibly the Ram Rebel TRX.
@@richfarfugnuven6308 That is not a JEEP
@@mikefoehr235 correct, but FCA may throw a curve at us...
I like the older body style better good job on telling it like it is
Got a 2019 Overland for mom with the upgraded Alfa motor - was really impressed. She loves it (has like 1k miles on it though so not much ). It's roomier inside than I expected and I like how it drives.
Edit: one thing that blew me away is how bad the city MPG is on this motor. She's 76 and drives like every other grandmother but I got in her car to change a setting the other day and she was averaging something like 13.8 MPG. Either she drives like a psycho or start and stop is a nightmare for this powertrain.
I have the 2.4l and have similar results in the city
@@JOSELUIS-ci2hs Good lord... this is silly, but I notice with almost the entire FCA lineup. Highway mileage is *amazing* (my 5.7 300 was ~25mpg highway, my 6.4 charger was 22 and so was my Jeep SRT, maybe more like 20/21 with the Jeep - Pacifica 3.6 was like 28 on flat road) but city driving in ALL of them is AWFUL. 17 for the 300, 14 for the Jeep SRT, 15 or 16 for the Charger SRT and I shit you not, 17 for the Pacifica. I wonder why they have this behavior so consistently across their line or maybe the side effect of big-heavy old school platforms?
@@rkalla It's unbelievable. In the high way is decent enough with 24 25 mpg but in city conditions it plunge to 13 15 which is below par independently as its seems of the engine or the car. Difficult to justify
@@100M2B oh sorry it's the Turbo 4 that is in this review also. It's almost straight out of the Stelvio (not the Q4 obviously) - at least that's what I've read and given a new motor costs about $1b to develop it made sense to me.
I do have the 2.0T and the city driving mpg is really bad. you have to press the gas to the perfection to not ruin your mpg. highway mpg is really good tho.
Much appreciated for providing the MPG fo USA buyers. I wish Jeep work on improving the MPG besides it is a good SUV .
Just a small correction as I work for Jeep. They don’t offer the 3.6 V6 in the Cherokee, instead it is actually a 3.2 V6. Different displacement. Just letting you guys know. Love the channel :)
can you install a diff locker in a normal cherokee? ( trailhawk is difficult to find in europe that is why i'm asking) (will buy a used one)
Why didn’t they just go with the 3.6 V6 engine?
@@Glad2BGolden Because it's too large and meant for the larger brother the Grand Cherokee. Both are VERY reliable V6 engines though. And i'd take a V6 over the turbo 4 any day.
I do have the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Elite 2.0T but you should have tested @ 100km/h to see better results.
I'm 6-5 and a big guy. I can fit in this, but liked the more room from the Grand Cherokee.
I have not had a turbo for a number of years. It needed an oil change every 3k with special turbo oil. Did not like the turbo lag, and it was very expensive to fix if something happened. I prefer a normally aspirated engine and would go with the V6. Otherwise I would like to see supercharging over turbocharging. Plus how is that transmission response with the 4 cylinder? Love the styling of the Cherokee and that color is great looking.
I have one I love it
I have an '18 Cherokee Trailhawk with the 6. Last time I took a trip and checked the mileage based on mileage and fuel used I got 30 mpg. What are you doing wrong? BTW, I actually like the looks of the '18 over the '19. Young at heart I guess.
Thank you for also showing u.s. figures!!
If it's the Wagoneer, that won't be a surprise. They've been talking about that model for 3 years now. I was even given details about it at my dealership 2 years ago when I was getting my JLU Wrangler.
I drove my 2019 Limited from California to DC last year and found I could increase MPG's about 6 to 8 by slowing from 75 MPH to between 60 and 65.
Yes, but you (i) add a SIGNIFICANT amount of time to your trip and (ii) potentially become a liability/danger to everyone else on the road by travelling at a rate of speed that is well below the posted speed limit. Stay safe.
@@RipReturns
Really?
The “slow” speeds were still at the limit or with traffic.
@@RepublicanJesusthe2nd - uhm, yeah. My personal experience with drivers doing 10-15 mph below the posted speed limit on interstates is that it is problematic. Mr. Porter indicated ↓↓ that he was with traffic and/or at the posted limit. :)
@@RipReturns
I was wondering,who said they were driving below the posted speed limit?
Nice 100k!
I’m getting 28-33(today 33) with 7800miles and a mix of driving. My last one was a 2015 with the crappy trans this 2020 has a very fast shifter-also it seems the mileage will drop when the temp drops to around 35f.
I love Jeeps! I'm retired @ Chrysler St. Louis Assembly Plant #1 South Fenton,Mo. I'll buy one!
I had a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Alttitude, I always got 30MPG on the freeway doing sub 70 MPH with 3.2 V-6.
Indy Dog the way the transmission is designed, you actually save gas the higher speed you’re in after 70mph
this is great and all but when are you guys going to do a comparison of these with the non-trailhawk cherokee. I can't find any good non-trailhawk cherokee data anywhere.
I like the front end.
I own a 2019 Cherokee Limited and my MPG is decent. I just wish the fuel tank was larger. I feel like I use a tank really quickly and have to re fuel too often. I average 21.8 MPG with a mix of city/hwy.
21.8 is good?
Same with my 2015 Cherokee limited
Beautiful Jeep but I would want the 3.2L V6
Made me laugh when you were in your home area and described it as dry road, in Britain that dusting of snow would have brought everything to a grinding halt. Excellent driving review.
john evans so true!
I have a 2019 Limited V6. The app I use for fuel mileage shows that over 18,510 miles, I have averaged 26.34 mpg. I think that's pretty good for a 4WD V6 vehicle.
What app do you use?
Absolutely insanely priced.
I paid 30k for my trailhawk
I paid 46k for my 2022 limited
I have a 2014 cherekee latutude with the 3.2 v6 and I Temps above 50 Celsius I get 27-28 miles per gallon (mostly highway) and 24-25 below 50 c
better looking than the previous, no match for the XJ
I don't think anything will be as cool as that boxy design.
Touche, I'll third that.
The XJ 2.0 would be Awesome
I hated the look of the xj
@Mississippi Ditch Fisher I have a kl. It's the new cherokee. Most offroad capably vehicle in its class but I wish it was as capable as an xj
Really like our 2016 Trailhawk. I do like the newer front end better, but not trading up just for that
Still happy with the car and reliability? ( looking to buy a used trailhawk but read some negative stuff about the 14/16 years...)
@@70xr7Cougar I don't have it any more. Was needing a truck more, so I traded it a while back. Never had an issues with mine though. I kept up the maintenance, oil changes every 5k. I wouldn't be afraid to get a used on that didn't have high mileage. I recommend the v6
@@No_nonsense302 thanks for the reply, appreciate it
Did you convert one mileage figure using US Gallons and the other using Imperial gallons?
you guy sure love that bailey bridge I put them together in the army new guy is he in Canada
I get 8.8 liter per 100 km on normal commute on the 2013 Kia Sorento 2.2TDI and on road trips I get down to 4 liters per 100 km.
I think for the price, you should consider the Grand Cherokee Laredo, with the Quad 1 full time 4-wheel drive. You can get with the altitude package, the convenience package etc with the leather, the nav, heated seats, heated steering wheel for 45k. It is not completely loaded, but well equipped and unless you are going hardcore off road, it is a very capable vehicle, a much more substantial vehicle than the Cherokee. The economy is not much less than the Cherokee either.
Our 2019 Trailhawk does a better, but I live in Wyoming. There isn't much city traffic to speak of. Thanks for the video
All you see up north in Ontario are Cherokee trailhawks, pretty sure they are more common than CRVs and RAV4s lol. I test drove a trailhawk with the 2.0L turbo and I was kind of let down cause I had higher expectations than that. The car overall is awesome and cool but the turbo motor is disappointing. Also, it would be better on fuel if it had a 3.23 axle ratio as apposed to a 3.73 ratio.
I got a 2019 latitude 2.4 fwd with the popular equipment package for 19k
Prices climb quickly, don't they?
With proper tires our Grandcherokee Altitude with quad 1 is the most confidence inspiring vehicle we have owned. Plus it averages 22 around town and 26 to 28 on the highway depending on how fast you drive it. We have owned front drive biased AWD systems before and you can tell a big difference in the snow , the quad 1 in the grand Cherokee does way better of course that’s our opinion.
Actually not quite. The original 2014 has the rear disconnect axle as well. I have the 2014. A most interesting vehicle. Your economy is about right. I beat that estimate around 25 or 27mpg on my trip to near Detroit from Nashville and did that no problem.
I have a 2019 Cherokee 2.0t limited. Got it from Crowley Jeep here in Connecticut. It cost me 29k out the door with everything jeep has to offer on it. We now have over 30k miles on her and have been up and down the east cost. Car averages 26mpg every tank. Hwy was 30+ all day with the active cruise control all the way up to Montreal Canada. Love it a lot. We upgraded from a 15 limited with the 3.2 liter engine and would never go back. They even fixed the transmission issues.
Steven Thompson was that the sketchy shifting?
@@kevinW826 what?
Steven Thompson the after transmission was known for sketchy shifting, so they had to work on reprogramming it. Other people had mechanical problems with the transmission. Which transmission issues did you have?
@@kevinW826 locking going up inclines in gear. Harsh downshifts. Downhill lock. No use of ninth gear. Also the old ones used range selector shifters the new ones are tap shifters. If you do not know what that means it is one keeps you from going over the gear that you select. The other is the transmission shifts to the gear. Huge improvement over the old hp90 units from ZF
I wonder how well that motor would work in the Gladiator?
Alot of electrical problems watch out for the screen overheating it caused my dash to catch on fire. Got a Toyota and have no complaints or flaws.
That price is a bit off I just priced a 2020 Jeep Cherokee High Altitude 4x4 with the 2.0 turbo fully loaded for about $43,000 so you can get one for better than $51k.
The color is “minivan red.”
😁😀😅😂🤣
i have a 2016 cherokee 3.2l, i've found that fuel economy drops considerably when the temp is below 40 degrees F. I believe the AWD system kicks on automatically at this temp (along with the other temp sensitive items like heated seats etc) and kicks you out of 2wd. I've gotten 30+MPG in the summer but struggle to get over 24 in the winter.
You are absolutely correct after the temps drop down past 36 degrees it automatically activates awd modes and sensors. I work at jeep that is how most of our systems work. Also turning on the wipers in heavy ran
@@scubafrost2007 thank you for confirming my suspicions and thanks for my Jeep :)
PS: please push android auto to older versions of uconnect
I like the Headlights on the wrong place(Bumper) . . . this 2020 looks Garden Variety Mundane now.
Has the 9 speed transmission's shifting algorithms gotten better by now ? Hope so !
23 MPG Highway is horrible for a Crossover powered by a 2.0L Turbo four banger.
Lol our 2020 trailhawk V6 gets less than 15 mi per gallon on average and maybe 20 on the highway but now that winter is here every winter we get about 12 to 13 mi per gallon 😂 might have never been stuck in snow thankfully. Getting out of it soon and into a 23 frontier. Definitely like the Jeep though
I wish there was some video on Jeep, Cherokee (not grand) towing! With the right tow package it can tow 4500 lbs. I have looked everywhere and have seen just one little clip. WE NEED INFO ON TOWING SMALL TRAVEL TRAILERS.!
Great road review trip on Jeep Cherokee👍fuel economy not bad, my V6 Holden ute does same amount. LOL -6 to 0 is not cold 🥶 i bet you don’t milk cows in open dairy like here in Australia.
Don't forget about the pump is temperature corrected but the vehicle is actual
My RAV4 gets 30mpg on the highway in winter. Not as fast but it's a larger vehicle interior wise
Yes, the MSRP is insanely high, but I bought my 2020 Trailhawk for 22k at the end of the month when the 2021 models were starting to come out. Better deals to be made at the end of year.
Typically FCA AWD systems fully engage below 7c ( or somewhere close) and your fuel economy really suffers. I get 9.8 with mine. In the summer, I can get mid 7’s, but I have the V6.
