Thinking of buying the 2017 Jeep Cherokee?
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2017 Jeep Cherokee before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2017 Jeep Cherokee for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Cherokee
NHTSA has 1,337 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, unknown or other and electrical system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 9.6 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $44.64 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Cherokee
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who rents the Cherokee
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $148.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
