The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee raises the bar with superior on-road ride, handling and fuel economy, best-in-class 4×4 capability and top-notch technology.
This is for those who require both form and substance.
Perfectly-sized to perform with efficient skill, the New Jeep Cherokee goes far and wide with its legendary Jeep brand DNA.
Engineered to excel on all terrain, designed to hit the mark in any situation, new Cherokee invites the adventurer in you to get out and experience the best of all worlds.
Every sculpted inch of the new Cherokee has been thoughtfully designed to be efficient and capable.
Go and explore it in the detail, starting from the traditional seven-slot grille that stays true to its Jeep brand roots, with daring, sleek daytime running lights adding the next generation of safety and design distinction.
Notice also, the new command view dual-pane sunroof that offers wide-open viewing, day or night. It includes a power sliding glass front panel and a fixed glass panel with power sunshade in the rear.
The new Cherokee introduces a unique, fashionable style into the Jeep range.
Just take a look at all the details and you will also discover a premium, well-crafted interior with an extensive use of soft-touch materials: a sophisticated blend of hand-sculpted fluid shapes, high-quality materials, innovative colour and material choices, precision craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and features.
The new Cherokee takes legendary 4×4 capability to the next level for those who desire the distinct advantages of an all-weather, all-terrain Jeep.
It is purposefully designed to adapt to your surroundings with in-born confidence, thanks to its legendary Jeep brand DNA, arriving at destinations others only dream of reaching.
The Selec-Terrain System, for example, allows you to choose the on and off-road setting for optimum performance to help you successfully navigate specific road conditions.
Up to four customised settings are offered: auto, snow, sport and sand/mud. The new Cherokee is the first SUV in the segment to feature a 9-speed automatic transmission.
It’s all about driving, comfort and efficiency. Electronic Range Select supports a manual shifting capability that includes over 40 individual shift maps for specific conditions to help maximise efficiency, performance and drivability. Thus, performance is attuned to nearly any driving demand, both on and off-road, and gear shifts are almost imperceptible on every terrain.
The new Cherokee’s cabin allows you to command the road ahead from a very comfortable and informed vantage point.
The all new Cherokee’s advanced technology delivers data that can keep you on track, handing you the freedom to head out with confidence.
With the UConnect system, you are always connected, informed, entertained, and more productive.
You can connect your compatible media device, play compact discs, or display your photos on your UConnect screen via the USB port, SD media card, or auxiliary port. This is how you advance your world, in a world that’s very advanced.
The new Jeep steering wheel puts a wide range of controls safely at your fingertips. With a strong foundation forged from 65 percent high-strength steel, engineers have added a full range of active and passive available features to deliver peace-of-mind wherever you go.
The all-new Jeep Cherokee is available right now from Zimoco with two engine and trim options, these being the 2.4 L Longitude and the 3.2L Limited.
