Jeep Cherokee 2020 review: Trailhawk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- So, you’ve seen the mainstream mid-size SUV players, and you’re looking for something… a little different.
Maybe you’re even looking for something with some off-road ability, and that’s maybe caused you to steer away from segment heavyweights like the Hyundai Tucson, Toyota RAV4, or Mazda CX-5.
Am I right so far? Maybe you’re just curious to find out what one of Jeep’s main models offers in 2020. Either way, I spent a week in this top-spec Trailhawk to find out if it’s the semi-off-roader it looks to be, or if it stands a chance against the mainstream players.
We'll look at the Cherokee's relative value, comprehensively cover off what features come in the box, and utilize its multimedia functions, as well as consider how it compares to mainstream rivals like the Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, and Toyota RAV4.
The Trailhawk is one of the few non-ladder-chassis based SUVs to come with a low-range transfer case and rear-locking differential, to add to its off-road credentials alongside an off-road suited suspension tune, sensible 17-inch alloy wheels, all-wheel drive, and recovery hooks.
We'll also look at the Cherokee's boot, including its features, capacity, and spare wheel.
Finally, the Cherokee will be analysed for its drive qualities, including handling, engine response and suspension feel. Its warranty, cost of ownership and active safety features will also be considered.

I've owned Cherokee trailhawk for about 3 years now... Nearly 120K... I also lifted it 2" and put 31" KO2s on it... It has never gotten stuck
I’ll be surprised if 10% of the people who commented actually have had a somewhat new Jeep before or even know someone who’s got one.
In the last 10 years or so Jeep has improved a lot ... same thing with Hyundai 20 years ago they were crap, now they are just fine.
In the USA and Canada you see them literally everywhere, specially outside NYC/LAX where everyone mostly drives small cars.
They can’t be that bad.I looked at the Outback, RAV4, CX5 ... they all paled in comparison, both in performance, features,etc.
I bought one 18months ago in despite mixed opinion from friends prior to me buying it, so far not a glitch ... it’s just superb, 5 years warranty, unlimited KMs.
All friends who’ve been in it are impressed. So far so good, crossing fingers it stays that way.
That's probably true..jeep communities tend to be very tight fit..dont like outsiders very much..we tend to look down on everything else..lol...ps 5th highest vehicle in north America...for a reason
@@dijin456 yes because when Daimler opened them the quality was worse. FIAT improved the quality of Jeep but you would never know that when listening to people who never owned a modern Jeep parrot myths like a broken record
My 2016 Cherokee trail hawk is a huge improvement over any Jeep I’ve ever owned and if you put the damn thing in sport mode it handles those tight turns like a seasoned pro!
I bought a brand new Cherokee TH last year. I would have loved to replace my 2013 Grand Cherokee 3.6 V6 2WD with a new 4WD model (I live on a mountaintop now) but for a lot less $$$ I got this beautiful and rugged Jeep. Does it have some quirks? Absolutely....like everything else I've ever owned. I feel totally at home in this vehicle. It's built for rough roads and deep snow.
I'm totally okay with a little body roll, if it gives you a soft ride offroad.
My Cherokee is 3 yrs old and has nothing go wrong while I've owned it. Fuel use is 9.5 l/100ks. I service it at a local mechanic who takes care of as per the service schedule at nearly half the price of the dealer.
I am into bushwalking and car camping. Sometimes we have to drive along very poor dirt roads to get to the start. And to drive off road in the bush to get tom a good campsite. For 15 years and 250,000k I had a 2004 Ford Escape (made in Japan by Mazda). Eventually it wore out.
There is no other car out there like my Ford Escape! Nothing to match it! I was in Canada and discovered the Jeep Cherokee - Trailhawk! I am aware of the poor after sales service of Jeep Australia so i did more research than otherwise. In the end I got a 2 door JL Wrangler! Its fantastic! I love my Jeep!
My wife has said firmly that the next car must have 4 doors. So, in 5 years I will be looking at a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk (or the equivalent).
.
I wonder if anyone testing the Trailhawk actually bothered to look underneath it to see the size and scope of the Cherokee Trailhawk's steel skid plates? Here's a look at some of what makes it much heavier than a RAV4 Edge, Mazda CX-5 or Subaru Forrester and why it needs more power than those other vehicles.

Here in the U.S. I have a 2019 Trailhawk 4cyl turbo w the beefier all-terrain tires and I love it!
Looks good
Love my 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, the ride is awesome.
3636lk my friend does your hood shakes when you speed ?
@@hamlet616723 No it doesn't but I did notice that when I opened it I had a hard time getting it to latch correctly when I closed it. I had to open and close it several times till all the latches latched. Make sure it's properly closed.
3636lk I will try every time i go over 70 miles the hood shakes i took it to the dealer ship they said they fix it but nothing change. I will try to do what you said . Thank you
@@hamlet616723 Make sure the hood catches at the front on both sides, you may have to open and shut a few times or push down on the front side or sides if they don't seem to be latching. Good Luck
3636lk thank you appreciate your reply thats the plan for now I will try it
Such a great SUV and superb looking. Shame about the Jeep reputation we don't see many of these on the road!
Because all the GM closing down no One want to by this crap, is similar like u, does't have a money but still looking for the quality
Fantastic
I have the 2019 jeep cherokee limited and is actually pretty reliable and have a good ride quality. Im am satisfy with how it handles
It's one year old, you can't know it's reliable.
@@leesonneville1817 It is close to two as I bought in November 2018 but as of now it drives great
@@JOSELUIS-ci2hs OK let me know in ten years how it's holding up.
“Hear that.....it’s the sound of fuel usage!” Love that quote......have owned one and loved it but know what you mean.
Can you tell me how realistically the fuel usage is on the roads
@@aliabkan4471 good question and it actually isn’t that bad the 6 cylinder is pretty efficient at highway speeds if you drive within the speed limit and around town it’s is as described in the mileage from Jeep...the issue with the trailhawk is it is slightly heavier than the other Cherokee models so mileage is worse than the other models....if you’re considering it though...do it.....it’s a great vehicle, great look and great around town. Take care
@@chriscowan6630 Thank you so much for the comprehensive answer. Much appreciate it.
Who cares? You want to save gas, get a Honda Fit.
No 2.0 Turbo for Australia? That's weird
03:00 ...now discontinued renegade? Can you expand more on that?
The Renegade model is no longer on Jeep Australia's website. 😐
FCA just isn’t into Australia. It makes no profit.
It hasn't been discontinued in all markets...still being made for the US market.
Any of these come with Bose or good sound system??
Yes the trailhawk elite comes with a pioneer system and woofer in the ba ck. I got mine 2 days ago and sound system is awesome.
Nice 💞
U dont by an off road 4×4 and expect good gas mileage..this is purpose built off road..not gravel road..chk u tube..off road capability..I have a 20 17.and its awesome..u want sporty go get a lotus..
Complaining about 12 litres per 100kms?? It's a true offroad capable mid size 4wd... What the hell did you expect?
agrojim1975 I’ve got one and for 75% city driving, 25% highway driving the best I get is 15L/100km
Get your foot out of it . I average 10/100 rural driving.
@@dmelfa1 Probably not the ideal city car then if economy is a priority.
Why risk $50k on a Jeep just to be different?
Cause it looks stunningly beautiful drive very well ,very comfy seats and ride but that were it all ends then potentially turns into a nightmare troublesome pos as it ages and you can't dispose of them on the used çar market unlike a rav 4 even after 20 years they still command a premium .Chrysler jeep sales are lowest they have ever been in aus as the punters are wising up
Robert Ceroli couldn’t agree with you more
Ur right dont by a jeep. get ur rav 4..that's really different..
@@robertceroli3512 definitely not my experience..but then I live in northern canada..20 below and 3 ft.of snow ..u want a trendy grocery getter ..I would still by a jeep..
@@robertceroli3512 There sales in the USA increase every year. Also you might as well say why risk with well over 15 brands. I mean if i wanted to be dead inside I would buy a soulless Toyota with there typical low displacement, wimpy ass powertrain that makes you feel like a grandmother. I have lost count of the amount of people I know that wanted to buy a RAV4 in the past 6 years but opted out because Toyota removed the V6 option not to mention only offer a CVT transmission.
Is this a Russian channel?
yes we all speak russian dont you see?
The big downsides of this vehicle are its infamous poor reliability in 2015-2017 years (especially the auto transmission) and the relatively small boot. The V6 is thirsty, but VERY smooth, strong and reliable. No direct injection, no turbo, no fancy stuff to break. There is a turbo 4 in North America available with even more power, but FCA turbo 4s are as reliable as their Diesels, which is to say they’re not... at all.
This Jeep is heavy, but quiet, comfortable and very capable off-road.
Also, that infotainment screen is 8.4 inches, not 8.
I have a 2017..haven't had any proablems.. where are u getting ur info from...
dijin456 You’re joking, right? The ZF9 transmission woes are highly publicized. Ignorance must be bliss. Just because you haven’t had a problem doesn’t mean this problem isn’t widespread.
@@afcgeo882 the quality issues were resolved in late 2016. Don't try and act like you are knowledgable about the ZF-9 when you are going off old and not accurate information. What the ZF-9 was notorious for was the 5th and 7th dogteeth scyco gears which relies on a very sophisticated AI algorithm to pre-spin them in order to downshift on demand. There can be a 1.5-2 sec delay. Again this isn't much if an issue since 2016 models from FCA. Honda, land rover etc... never really refined there ZF-9 versions like FCA did.
Paul J Nice try, but the ZF-9 transmission issues lead to total failures, not just delays in shifting, and FCA took three years of constant reprogramming to try to fix it. They eventually did, but the Cherokees from 2015 to early 2017 were, IN FACT, affected. Data on that is not “old” it is accurate.
As for Honda and LR not refining their ZF-9s.... their ZF-9s didn’t exhibit the issues that FCA cars did. Screwing things up is not refining, no matter how much you try to spin it.
@@afcgeo882 your other reply is gone, I did read it on the bell. What happened?
why would you buy this over a Toyota or Honda ?? Evens a mitsubishi would be better then this
haha. i haven't been in a jeep ever
This review is typical of low quality... how you can even mention a car that is $20000.00 more is beyond me as a comparison.... it’s a Jeep... expensive to run...expensive to maintain... that’s all review had to say to get some cred... at least you didn’t go on about cup holders like the other girl
I think he was referring to the decent offroad ability as well as being a mid-sized SUV.
I don't think he was making a comparison, he was pointing out that there really isn't anything else like the Jeep in its class, and to get something else that is similar you would need to go up market to the Land Rover.
U either own a jeep..or u drive a Ford
@@jwa2088 not decent..its a mountain goat...
I own a 2015 Grand Cherokee(102,000 K) and the 2016 trailhawk(for the wife) and they are both realible. How come it's not costing me all this money to keep them running? I doubt you ever owned a modern Jeep
That gear lever is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!
Awful quality and too expensive, buy the new SsangYong Korando Ultimate way better quality and value
So u owned a lot of them..jeep owners can always tell .who's ligit and well..let's say the pretenders...
@@dijin456 I know right. They are just parroting myths like a broken record. Both jeeps I own have been very realible. My 2015 GC is over 100k and no major issues so far.
@@shaun1900 Get you’re head out of the sand.....🤦🏼♂️
@@shaun1900 I don’t but I know about cars and have driven both, the difference is clear to me.
@@shaun1900 No and thank you.
