20000 kilometers of pure pleasure with the 2.0 turbo. Love it!
Hi I recently bought the 2019 jeep with the 2.0L turbo. Does your engine make a lot of noise? Mine is a bit noisy.
I still use coins, the only money Congress is authorized to mint. If you drive around Chicago coins are a must, since most toll areas are unmanned. And not everyone has a "I" pass ( same as e-z pass). Took delivery of two Trail-hawks Elites, if you go off road the Trail-hawk's. 17 inch tires are the best for rock climbing. The Luxury Overlander 's 20 inch tires and rims are difficult to find snow tires for and expense is high. The suspension of the jeep Cherokee elite is stronger than the jeep Cherokee Limited which I traded in. Over all all of the Jeep Cherokee 'S are comfortable and all the amenities are easy to use.
The little compartment on top of the dash would be a good spot for the I-pass - e-z pass 🙂
Thank you. One of the few reviewers telling me about seat comfort over a long trip. I have no idea why modern car seats are so firm. My 1993 ford explorer seating is very comfortable. I will certainly be looking at the 2019 cherokee overland edition.
It was a looooong trip and the seats were really comfortable!
Thanks Fadra.
You got it goin on.
Can I hit that
@@bennyaoneblanco4626 No. She is not into basement trolls
I have a 2019 limited with the High Altitude Package. Basically an overland without the ac in the seats. While it's not as capable as the trailhawk off road, i can vouch for it's ability. Went to George Washington National forest for a weekend off road and it did great. No, it's not a rock crawler, but certainly fine for getting you through some light off roading. The 9 speed transmission in mine has been fine for the 31,000 miles i've put on it.
Thanks for the great video.
I’m late to the party, but I’ve actually found myself really interested in the Jeep Cherokee after watching this video. The thing that still gives me pause though is Jeep’s overall reliability issues in the past. I remember when the Cherokee first came out a few years ago that both it and the Renegade had quite a few problems with the new 9 speed transmission. Has the reliability improved at all since then?
Shawn B I’ve had my 2019 Cherokee Limited a year now and it hasn’t given me any trouble. The transmission isn’t super refined and sometimes doesn’t seem to know whether it wants to be in the gear its in, but it doesn’t hurt the drive at all. With all the incentives I got like $4,500 knocked off MSRP and there really is nothing in the same price point that matches its power, comfort and capability. Get the turbo though. It’s a surprisingly spirited engine.
Nice job , by far the best female commentator .
You opened the video with saying people comment that you don’t talk about how the cars drive. So I was figuring you would do that in this video. I think I must have missed it. Most reviewers talk about handling, like
How was the engine power? How was acceleration from a stop? How was it at acceleration at highway speeds to pass?
Did the transmission up-shift and down-shift responsively? Some complaints in the past have been about unresponsive transmission that feels jerky at times. Was there a lot of body lean in turns.
How was the feel of the steering, the braking?
Fair point. Honestly, the reason why I don’t talk about driving too much is because it’s a good driving experience. I usually only mention it when some is outstanding (like the acceleration of the Acura RDX or the sluggishness of the Jeep Compass). I did a fairly long drive in this vehicle for a week and didn’t have any issues with anything you mentioned.
Just took one out for a test drive. The transmission is very disappointing. 3.2 v6, trailhawk. I went to pass, the lag was absurd. A Critic once said about the jeep transmission, it is not sure what to do, I now understand what he meant. To bad, I could not live with that.
Yeah, not sure why the wheel wells are square either. However, I like the fact that they are trimmed in body color cladding! I see all to many vehicles that have ( black ) plastic cladding trim on the wheel wells.. they usually fade... Overall, you presented the vehicle well & articulated the positives in a professional like manner! Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
I hate that plastic cladding too. You will find it on the Trailhawk but I'm guessing it's because you wouldn't want all that paint getting scraped up when you go off road. BTW with the right product, you can restore that faded black cladding - I've done it!
The wheel wells are not square they are called trapezoidal (trapezoid is an actual shape). That has been the style since 1941 it is the jeep heritage. Alot of things jeep does is a throw back to the origins where it all began with the WWII military jeep.
@@donnalopez2126 Exactly this is a Jeep Thing, Every model, every trimm since 1941.
Sunglasses...it’s for sunglasses. I just bought a Jeep Cherokee and I pick it up Monday. Good job with the demonstration.
Thanks, Karen. Hope you’re enjoying your Cherokee!
No Karen, there's a cubby up by the sun visor for your sunnies. I think it's for doobies.. yes, definitely doobies..
She drove it off road now i know its really capable especially having 25valves😄 what more can you ask for
Hey - that was a VERY deep, VERY muddy puddle 😂
@@Allthingsfadra I think he's just wondering which cylinder gets the bonus valve. Also, how did you talk about the luxury without highlighting the hands free power lift gate? That's one of the best luxury features, IMO.
Thanks for this! Great video :)
What is the price on this model, ? Great job ,my wife loves when woman do the reviews. ..she says men miss a lot of the most important details...we were looking at the grand cherokee. .. but after seeing your video she is strongly considering , this one ....thank you so much for your frank review. We are both retired so this might fit into our budget better.
It is a Jeep! 👍
I'm really starting to like it and ive never liked jeeps or have I ever owned one. Possibly looking to trade my 2016 ford fusion in for a Cherokee 4x4 limited. For a family of 4. I live in Indiana. Would it be worth it. They are some good looking suv's
Nice review except where you went in the "mud" . That was a water hole not mud lol
So I’ve been told 😂
Right now I have a 2019 Jeep Compass Limited, it's a lease. It's due to go back soon. I want to purchase a vehicle, the compass is slow and lacks saftey features. I'm looking ay a certified 2019 Cherokee Overland with 25k miles. Thoughts?
I definitely preferred the Cherokee over the Compass and the Overland is such a nice trim package. If you’ve been happy with Jeep, that’s a great direction to go.
Thank you so much! Very good presentation. I think that will be my next car
Not as aggressive as the trailhawk, this one is not trail rated the whole reason you buy a jeep. Nice options. No w4d low. No skid plate. It is all about luxury. But it is a nice option. Is it really 4wd? you can not lock it in 4wd.
If you’re not buying the Trailhawk, then you probably aren’t too concerned about trail rating. The Overland is definitely for the suburban warriors who want a comfortable ride but still feel confident on less than perfect driving surfaces.
The wheel is round lol
i love jeep cherokee i big fan
Such a nice car - especially the Overland!
So like this Jeep and priced competitively,as you mentioned serious off readers would need the Trailhawk, good weekend.
I'd love the Trailhawk but doubt I'd ever really spend serious time off road. I loved the 4x4 of the Overland!
I don't really care about cup holders, fancy upholstery, etc...Show me up front under the bonnet...I want to see what makes this thing tick.
"25 valve V6"...Each cylinder has only 4 valves per cylinder.
24 valves - hey, YOU try remembering all of this on camera and not making any mistakes!
And by the way, I don't generally talk too much about the engine except for the drive experience. It's kinda my thing.
@@Allthingsfadra OK, got it.
I have plan will buy Cherokee 2019 not the legs hi hi...
It's okay. Legs aren't for sale. But it's a great choice to buy this car. It's one of the few I really didn't want to give back!
I use change lol
As a Land Rover owner, I'm not impressed with this Jeep. I enjoyed the fact that you finally demonstrated the driving dynamics. But, that small mud filled rut is not a good indication of off road capability. My 2005 LR3 can ford water, climb mountains and push stalled SUV's. I doubt this FCA Jeep imposter can match the Go Anywhere spirit of my Solihull brute. I am not judging your review. I love the process you use to review vehicles. As a Toledo, OH native I am a bit ashamed of what our hometown favorite has become.
Okay, well, let's be honest. Comparing a Land Rover to a Jeep Cherokee is like apples to oranges. If you're talking strictly off road capability, you'd want to compare it to the Trailhawk. But the Overland gives you all the luxury (which I like). And although that was a puddle, it was a muddy puddle! It was deeper than I thought and the 4 wheel drive actually kicked in to climb out of the puddle. The reason I picked that location is that another vehicle I reviewed (which shall remain nameless) actually got stuck in that same location. Plus it was fun to drive through that puddle 😉
@@Allthingsfadra Something tells me the other vehicle was that pitiful, grocery getter 2018 Land Rover Discovery. Land Rover lost their mind when they stripped the Discovery line of it's masculine persona.
Also, something tells me that debating automobiles with an expert like yourself is fruitless. I will be honest, the only knowledge that I have is pumping gas, starting the engine and attempting to look cute. Don't hurt me Fadra for being dumb.
have fun with literally the worst quality vehicles of any luxury manufacturer. Complete slabs. Every land rover dealer in every city has the biggest loaner fleet because they break all the time. You are comparing 2 different things. If anything, land rover is pretending to be a Jeep. Jeep invented the segment in 1941.
@@shanemathews4177 You need Jesus in your life
@@Brian-jv8iy With the name Cherokee FCA had a legacy to fulfill. Instead they designed this thing which is nothing like the original.
I think I would choose the Limited over the Overland. But I defend the Cherokee. FCA has fixed most of what was wrong. It's still on my shortlist of 2019 new car candidates.
I’m a luxury kind of girl so I’d go Overland all the way. If I didn’t do Overland, I’d definitely do the Trailhawk.
I am leasing my second Jeep Cherokee, this time I moved up to the Overland after a pleasant three years with my 2015 Limited and the new Cherokee is much improved and clearly is best in class as I agree with your accessment. . The quality, driving characteristics, comfort, reliability and overall value is noteworthy. Yes those front seats rival luxury brands in comfort and material quality. I continue to be impressed by the Cherokee everyday as it never stops exceeding my expectation. Most important, my wife absolutely loves this Jeep, as it offers everything the luxury brands offer, with ledgendary Jeep performance in a just right size. I would recommend the Overland Cherokee for a test drive before you buy or lease a luxury import SUV. We did and we chose the Jeep as superior in driving dynamics, at least comparable comfort, more features and clearly a much better value than the luxury import.
It's nice to hear from an actual Jeep owner. I've heard a few questions about Jeep reliability but if you're a repeat owner, then clearly you've had a good experience. After driving the Overland and the Trailhawk, I'm definitely an Overland kind of gal!
You did a hell of a job with this review - really felt like you made a big effort to show us this car, it was great!
Well, thanks!! I read all of my comments so I’m always trying to give the people what they want!
Great review! ; )
Nice review Fadra! And welcome to long island!
Thanks, Ron! This is my third year going up to visit my friend in Westhampton Beach. So picturesque and a great excuse for a road trip!
🗣Absolutely Gorgeous Looking Jeep Cherokee!! & Such A Great Down To Earth Review!! I Actually Drive A 2018 UK Spec Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland In The Same Granite Crystal Colour & Absolutely Love It!! The Colour Draws A Lot Of Positive Comments Too About It!! It's Great Seeing The Jeep Brand Going From Strength to Strength!! ❤🚗
I’ve driven quite a few Jeeps and this has definitely been my favorite!
Looking good I like this model 😍
It comes with 8.4 inch color display touchscreen? As oppose to black and white lol? Good summary review tho
Some of that language comes from the manufacturer spec sheet so really the important point was the size of the screen (size matters!). But there are plenty of vehicle that have a 2 color display only (black with colored type). Those are usually just displays though and not touchscreens.
I like the Jeep Cherokee high altitude my question is can I bargain the price due to the next year models coming out?
Definitely! If you're satisfied with the 2019 model (or even the 2018 model), you can definitely get a deal on them on the lots. The deal is especially good if there are been major redesign changes.
Good overall review for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee in the Overland trim. As for the big sun roof the auto manufacturers in general refer to it as the panoramic sunroof. That was great Jeep was able to throw in a V6 engine in their compact SUV lineup. That was never done before by them. Good power. As a whole I like the Jeep branded SUVs. The SUV I currently have by them is the bigger brother Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have the 2005 model Jeep Grand Cherokee in the Limited trim level nicely equipped with a V8 engine. Excellent performance. Nice vehicle. The current generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is nice as well. Loaded with more bells and whistles than my generation Grand Cherokee. Couple years ago I test drove the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was GRRREAT!! The one I test drove was well equipped with a big 5.7 liter HEMI V8 engine. Good acceleration. Excellent performance across the board. If possible and if you get the chance maybe you can test drive the bigger brother Jeep Grand Cherokee. You'll like it. Let me know if you'll be able to. OBTW, Happy New Year to you!! 👍👍
Happy belated new year! I’m definitely putting the Grand Cherokee on my list to review this year.
@@Allthingsfadra Oh. Ok. That sounds great!
How has transmission held up?
I only had this vehicle as a loan for a week for I can’t answer that!
3:58
Legs. Yup, I get to look at them every day.
Square to change tires
Good theory. Not sure if I totally buy it but I'm going to research it now!
Jeep states on their website the wheel wells are trapezoidal because the original 1941 jeep was and it is the heritage of jeep.
That explains the trapezoidal wheel well for the Jeep Wrangler (and fun fact too!) but doesn't explain the square on the Cherokee!
What square, put a carpenters square on the wheel well and you will see the sides have an angle. I see a trapezoid, the same trapezoid that you also see on the renegade, compass, grand cherokee and wrangler. The reason you notice the angle is different for wrangler is because it is common to put oversize tires on them which requires more room. I guess it's why jeep says " it's a jeep thing you wouldn't understand ".
Mom shorts
Jonnie Johnson II I wore my finest mom shorts just for you.
Oh my
O:50 We hit everything... I definitely would hit it ;)...
We just got the Limited which seems more luxurious. V6, didn't want to take any chances on the Alpha Romeo turbo 4. Under rear cargo tray the Limited has a good area of storage space unlike the Overland. Transmission is VERY smooth no more issues. Traded a Mazda CX-5 for it and the Cherokee rides smoother, is quieter, very comfortable seats, Reliability is good according to Consumer Reports. Much nicer then the CX-5.
Well, I drive a CX-5 so I can’t dis my own ride. But I Drive this Jeep Cherokee to Long Island and back and was super impressed. Congrats on your purchase!
ggolds5 the Overland mode is made to be the most luxurious Cherokee available, as it is the highest trim level. A Limited is NOT more luxurious
