The Jeep® Cherokee gives customers an “only in a Jeep” open-air experience with its industry-exclusive Sky Slider full-length open canvas roof.

In major European markets, the Jeep Cherokee’s 3.7-liter models offer interactive Decel Fuel Shut Off (iDFSO), which turns off fuel during vehicle deceleration. This improves fuel economy without any noticeable changes in engine performance. In addition, 3.7-liter engine models include the new fuel-saver indicator which displays when the vehicle is driven in a fuel-efficient manner. Other features offered include front-row Active Head Restraints, premium seat trim with stain-repel seat fabric, air filtration system and larger floor mats.

The Jeep Cherokee features the industry-exclusive Sky Slider full-length open canvas roof. The Sky Slider roof may be moved to several positions, including full forward, full rear or partially open to any position in between with a convenient express one-touch switch.

A 3.7-liter V-6 engine is offered on all Jeep Cherokee models. The 3.7-liter engine produces 151 kW (205 hp DIN) @ 5,200 rpm and 314 N•m (232 lb.-ft.) of torque @ 4,000 rpm. The optional 2.8-liter Common-rail Diesel (CRD) turbo diesel generates 130 kW (177 hp DIN) @ 3,800 rpm and 460 N•m (339 lb.-ft.) of torque @ 2,000 rpm.

Jeep Cherokee’s Selec-Trac II® is a full-time, active on-demand four-wheel-drive system. Selec-Trac II operates in 2WD, 4WD Auto, 4WD Low and Neutral. The 2WD position is for normal driving and achieves optimal fuel economy as the front driveshaft is disengaged from the transfer case and power is directed to rear wheels.

In the Selec-Trac II 4WD Auto position, the transfer case anticipates and prevents wheel slip. It is ideal for a range of road settings, including dry pavement conditions not typically suited for conventional part-time four-wheel-drive systems.

4WD Low is for true off-road conditions and is engaged at speeds of 0-2 mph. Front and rear driveshafts are locked together and a second gearset multiplies torque, which provides traditional Jeep capability. 4WD Low is suitable for speeds less than 30 mph.

Vehicles equipped with Jeep Cherokee’s four-wheel-drive systems are Trail Rated®.
