Performance: Hybrid Power Meets Trail-Rated Capability
The 2026 Cherokee is equipped with a refined 1.6-liter inline-four Hybrid Turbocharged engine, generating 210 horsepower. This gasoline-electric hybrid combines with a CVT transmission to provide exceptionally smooth power transfer. Its automatic full-time four-wheel drive system offers reliable handling in all weather conditions, making it a perfect option for Morristown drivers dealing with diverse seasonal weather.
The hybrid powertrain delivers an EPA-estimated 39 MPG in the city, 35 MPG on the highway, and 37 MPG combined. Its efficiency results from combining a lithium-ion battery system, which varies between 17 kWh or 51 ampere-hours based on the trim. The electric motor works smoothly with the turbocharged engine to enhance power and fuel efficiency.
The Cherokee, with a weight of 4,295 pounds and a 113-inch wheelbase, provides excellent stability and well-balanced handling. Its 13.7-gallon fuel tank combined with the hybrid system's efficiency gives a substantial driving range for longer journeys. Moreover, the optional Selec-Terrain system, featuring multiple drive modes, allows drivers to customize performance for different terrains.
