Buying the 2020 Jeep Cherokee North

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Jeep Cherokee North for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2020 Jeep Cherokee North before buying one.

Recalls and complaints

There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 328 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

Engine and fuel

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 9-speed automatic, drives it. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 9.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.11 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

When the Cherokee makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Room inside

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Cherokee answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
