Auto loans: the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk before buying one.

Before you sign for the Cherokee

NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 176 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

The 3.2L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 9-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The EPA rates it at 11.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $53.01 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who the Cherokee suits

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.

The Cherokee in everyday use

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

A longer test drive

If the Cherokee is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Cherokee on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Cherokee tells you more than any review.

Picking a year and a trim

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.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.67 in fuel.
