What to check on the Cherokee

Owners filed 328 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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.

Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.1 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14.11, and a 300 km weekend about $42.33. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

Good uses for the Cherokee

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Cherokee for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Cherokee is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Cherokee answers the big questions.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $141.10 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
