I have a new 19 Wrangler Sahara, and taking delivery of our /wife's new 19 Cherokee Limited on Saturday. I've had Jeeps, Toyota's, Honda's, Land Rovers, Kia's. Fords, Chevy's, you name it I've had it. Always loved my Jeeps, from 1990 new to 97 new, to now and Never had any major mechanical issues. My Toyota Tundra electrical system was horrible. Honda Ridgeline I loved but had quite a few brake jobs. VW Tiquan was excellent even though it had a horrible reliability history with Consumer Reports. My Ford F-150 was bulletproof. My 4 Land Rover/Range Rovers were all unbearably unreliable from start to finish. I could go on and on. Jeeps have a spotty reliability history, but I've had great luck with them, as did quite a few people I know. This new Cherokee is really nice!!!. If you feel like complaining about something you don't own and haven't owned, do it somewhere else.

I'm blown away with how nice the Cherokee rides. It is smooth, quiet, and tight feeling. Love it!

I've watched numerous vehicle reviews, but this one is the most professionally filmed, informative, and crisply edited presentation I've encountered thus far in my youtube meanderings. Fantastic Jeep model by the way. My favorite 2019 model Jeep Cherokee is the Trailhawk from both an aesthetic and offroad capability perspective, but the entire Cherokee line for 2019 and newer are both visually appealing and very capable from a performance standpoint.

I still prefer a v6. More durable than a four cylinder. Especially a turbo

The trailhawk is underestimated it’s a little mountain goat.

I wouldn’t mind owning a Jeep, they give great features for the price. But the stories I hear about Jeep reliability is what stops me from taking the dive.

Front end looks so much better now

You are the Best in the business when it comes to reviews ! 👍👊 Love the new look and 2.0 turbo Great job JEEP !

What a massive improvement, well done Jeep! This is how a Jeep should look. Typically fantastic review as well...

I like this way of road testing the cars precise and concise ,then make your conclusion, please keep up the good work

Thanks, this is one of the best reviews out there!

You are amazing. Best reviews ever.

Finally a professional solid review on the 2019 Cherokee. Thank you

Excellent Review

Awesome review Alex

Thanks for this great, detailed review. That white leather interior looked really nice!

Wow, this is refreshingly awesome, detailed and meaningful review!!! Thanks! That's a rarity these days!

Great video, you are very knowledgeable and it shows. Impressive, it was effortless for you to speak about the vehicle and that’s actually a really big deal when people are doing reviews on cars. Great job.

As a Jeep fan: This is my SUV to buy Alex.

Great demonstration in the end of video of the jeep crawling and off-roading...

Very professional review.

A Very Good in depth review. Thanks.

The best in its class! It does everything That I want it to do! Mechanically Jeeps are reliable! I know more than 10 people that own them and they love Them! I'm going to buy one this year. Nice review!

You are the best at what u do sir 👍🏾👍🏾

Looks much better than the previous model

Good review

The best reviews.

Jeep nailed it with this version!! I love the upgraded look and the size is perfect for my tastes!!! I love the 2.0 Turbo, I've had that engine in my last two cars (SUV and Coupe) and it was perfect in it's speed for my needs. I was seriously considering the Volvo XC40 but this one may be my next car. Safety features are important, you didn't mention too much about that or maybe I missed it.

This model looks really nice and comfortable. Love all jeeps models. looking to test drive this model in the near future; ! thank you for explaining very thouroghly well done.

Good stuff man!

i will give you a preliminary thumbs up for the good video.

I love it ! Maybe is my next car !

It's nice to see a review about a Cherokee that doesn't openly promote the CR-V or RAV4 instead. And thank you for actually showing this thing do some offroad that isn't just a dirt road (not that I would ever take a vehicle over boulders anyway...it's nice to see). Overall, I love the looks of this thing...just still squeamish about the reliability.

Finally a 2.0T with a proper AWD system. I knew it would good and priced right. Hoping the transmission bugs are worked out.

At least FCA made it look far better than the last model year!

I think this is the first Jeep Cherokee that really got my attention, kudos to Jeep for fixing their hideous front & back facia of previous Cherokee, but the interior is little bit dated for 2018/2019 market

I won't be driving that road if I can help it :). Good video!

Well, I have always wanted to own a Jeep, but year in and year out, consumer reports shreds the relibility of Jeep brands. Even now I am looking at Jeep but knowing what I know from consumer report and from friend thought the years, I don't think I can pull the trigger and buy a Jeep.

Seems to be a very good mid cycle refresh. Handsome looking and finally they give us a competent 4 cylinder turbo!

How tall is this dude?!

I asked my Jeep dealer service rep about the 19 Cherokee. He advised I keep my Patriot until they drop the 9 speed ! True.

If you are driving in a snowy environment (eg mountain Colorado) this is a great car. In LA or the east coast the robust 4WD is probably unnecessary, making this vehicle less attractive.

This is the absolute best of the many reviews on this vehicle. The only thing I'm surprised about is nobody mentions the fact that the Cherokee when equipped with Active Drive II can be towed flat with all four wheels down. This makes it the absolute best TOAD for any Motor-home traveler wanting to take along an automatic transmission vehicle.

Good review. I drove jeeps for over 20 years. Unfortunately had very bad luck in terms of reliability. Last one was a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sold it a few weeks ago. My daily driver is a Tesla Model S. On my second now. Sad how a company making cars for less then 10 years can make a car more reliable then Jeep. Hopefully Jeep will get better some day! Loved those things other then the reliability!

It Very Good Frind.. I vERY lIKE IT

Can you review the 2019 Jeep Cherokee limited again where you normally do the reviews

Any chance you can get your hands on a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for a full review?

This refresh is beyond amazing!

Did they add a height adjustment for the rear hatch so you can open the hatch in the garage?

Many improvements... I like that they went up on tow capacity from the 2,000 to now 4,500... Can't wait to see it in the dealers and take it for a test ride. And seems transmission issues are now fixed (something that stopped me from buying a 2018). Thank you for this review. Well done.

Thanks for another great review. On the 6 cylinder that has auto stop start can you deactivate it?

Man Alec with those sungalasses u look like Alan Arkin in the movie Wait until Dark. Great review as usual, but u didn't mention if that window in the tailgate can open or not.

I personally preferred the look of the old one especially the rear but I see why Jeep changed and in my opinion it still looks better the most other crossover

Great as always. Not sure what to make of an A rating on the cabin noise. I hope you go back to using decibels, as it's more precise.

I believe the trailhawk version also includes skid plates if I remember correctly.

Looks like the 2019 are arriving at the dealers but haven't seen any with the new 2.0L turbo.

Looks are in the eye of the beholder..I prefer the looks of the "Freaky Front" thats why I own the 2017 latitude...Billit Silver "4" Plenty of get up and go for me..I was fearful of the "Life after warranty" so I bought the extended warranty for a little peace of mind....All I can say its been great so far.. I am not terribly pleased with the gas consumption ...seems to be a bit extra thirsty..But all in all pleased with the vehicle..Planning on keeping it for a long time..I give it 4 Stars

Great review. They did a very good job addressing the cars shortcomings, but the optional 2.0 turbo isn't cheap. And why bother with 3 different motors? Also the cargo area is puny compared to Rav4 / CR-V, and pricing overall sure is ambitious.

Hey Alex - you may want to post a link to your Patreon either here, on your Facebook or on your website. I was unable to find such a link in any of these places.

Just test drove the 4 cylinder and the 6, love them both, in between this and the subaru forester right now, only thing stopping me is the transmission, which is just about infamous for failing early from what I've read. No point in buying a new vehicle if the transmission blows every 30k miles.

Will you be doing the 2018 Lincoln navigator black label L?

Hi alex, I'm thinking to buy this car a lot, but I'm worried about it's reliability, maintenance and long-term usability.. I trust in your opinions, I need your advice plz.

I love my Jeep 2019

Great video. I am aware that this is a refresh. However, I hope that they updated the crash protection. Glad to see a new engine option. Wish the 8 spd from the GC worked with this vehicle

I need to know what are the common issues with this brand and specific vehicle.

Just because rough shifting is a design trait of 9sp doesn’t mean it’s acceptable. So they haven’t improved the shifts at all in refresh?

Monocoque chassis or Ladder frame, ALex¿?

What’s the link for zf 9 speed u mentioned in video?

Now this is much better, not that crap we had last time,

Did they fix the 9 speed transmission yet????? I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee laredo E more car for about the same money.

Will the new 2.0 turbo prove to be reliable, only time will tell. The damn ZF 9 speed transmission might be okay in this application depending on your driving style, but I personally hated it in the Acura TLX V-6.

Would not buy anything with that horrible 9 speed. Reason why my mom got rid of hers. I drove it and it was horrible. I will say everything else about the vehicle was amazing. Uconnect is the best and the interior on up trims is pure luxury in my opinion

We have the 17 trailhawk le plus edition and love it. Been very reliable and luxurious. Use it for commuting and off road. If you pay 42k you are nuts! Work the deal....

Got 70 miles on my 19 Cherokee no transmission issues still. Lol. It shifts really smooth though can’t even tell when it’s shifting most of the time. I also drive a 12 speed automatic volvo truck and the Jeep shifts way better.

At the end you said Cherokee Trackhawk instead of Trailhawk (minute 23:00). Other than this mishap it's a great review, good job!

Did Jeep improve the iihs small overlap crash scores?

What about reliability, service & maintenance cost of the 2.0L Turbo over the 3.2L V6? Are they both Direct Injected? Oil change & lubrication intervals the same? Other than this and missing the ground clearance differences between the 4x4 systems... really solid review Alex! Always appreciated! Aloha! 🤙🏼

I bought 2019 cherokee TH and at 5000 miles it sits at the dealer with manufacturer's best engineers trying to fix it. Day 15 at time of post. Beware of the bells and whistles and transmission

That road was making me car sick, just watching you drive it.

All I want to know is if this one is more reliable than previous models

Great reviews!!!! Please do a review on 2018 BMW X3!!!!

& another year goes without upgrading the trunk privacy cover. What's the point of this option with NO PRIVACY?

Alex, it looked like you had to turn that steering wheel a lot in turns and change your hand position. What was your impression of the steering ratio?

Just my 2019 today

Any suggestions on what car I should get as a first new car. I'm between the wrangler and cherokee. I will most likely lease it. I want something fun and reliable. I case it matters I've owned 3 grand cherokees between the model years 1999-2004. I'm just tired of used cars.

Here in Europe you can get it with a proper 6 speed manual transmission and a 2.0 diesel with 170 HP that gets 35 mpg.

You guys are reviewing a brand-new vehicle! All well and good, but how will it operate when it's five years old and has 60k miles on it?

Is there a block heater? I just bought one (not an elite) and forgot to check for that

I just looked at another review of the 2019 Cherokee, and they said the ZF 9-speed was still an issue. They tested a Trailhawk and an Overland, both with the turbo 2.0 4, and they said " this nine-speed’s lag problem is far from cured by the new engine; it’s merely less frequent and less noticeable at lower speed" and for passing, there was a very noticeable 2 to 3 second lag when hitting the gas pedal that "tests the limits of what’s safe and reasonable." Looking back, did you notice any of what they reported?

This Cherokee is a much better looking Jeep.

Does jeep still have a lot of engine and transmission problems?

Alex, you look like you’re towering over that Jeep! 🚗. It’s looks like a toy car!

take it back i just saw the tach jump

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Fuel grade for the turbo 4?

At least the old version was interesting. Now it just looks like every other SUV. Yawn.

This NEEDED to happen. No more hideous front

When talking about the rear cargo. You make it sound bad to have a compact spare tire! Maybe you didn't mean it that way. But, it's great that jeep is still putting a compact spare tire in the vehicle. I wish they would engineer the vehicle to support a full-size spare tire. I think it should be highly noted when a vehicle comes with a spare tire considering manufacturers are using our safety or lack of, to justify fuel savings and cargo capacity.

É da pro gasto

Besides rocks, Jeeps biggest obstacles are reliability. They seriously need to hire Toyota engineers to work out Jeep circuity issues. If that was done Jeep would triple in value.
