I own the Altitude model, and it is a bit more loaded than this Jeep. It has the 2.4L and 4WD, with Cold Weather and Comfort/Convenience group (which gives you an automatic liftgate and keyless ignition) and has returned 31-34 mpg on a few road trips across my state (thanks to the rear axle disconnect which is automatic in auto mode). In the snow, this thing is FUN. It gives me more confidence than driving my much heavier work truck in the snow/ice. Offroad, it is great for mild trail use. Obviously not as good as a purpose built rig for more extreme trails, but suprisingly better than I expected. The only thing I wish it had was Active Drive II for the added ground clearance and the additional modes for offroad use. This Jeep was money well spent for me. I am going back next year to buy a Trailhawk version for myself and give this one to the wife.

The “Sport” does not have a, 4WD low range mode, but it seems like the 9 speed has allowed 1st gear to be pretty low by itself. The Differential Brake Lock (DBL) system is what impressed me. It gives, even the Cherokee “Sport”, some impressive off-road capability. Probably way more capability than most people want to put their Family Truckser through. The capability is there, if you need it though.

Everyman Driver Dave - I drive about 40 miles per day, mostly highway, live in New England, and am looking to spend $25k-30k. I like the Cadillac ATS (base model) and the Honda Accord (Sport or EX). I've watched your review on the Honda Accord and it seems like you get a lot of "bang for your buck". Any other suggestions would be highly appeciated. Also, what is your view on AWD v. RWD? The ATS comes in both, but it also has a snow/ice mode, which is something I see more and more cars offering. Does this snow/ice mode negate the need for AWD?

@cutielulu59310 жыл бұрын
Guillaume Doriat Thanks for the quick reply! Congrats on the Trailhawk! I'm just looking for a winter daily driver. Won't do many, if any, trails, so I'm looking at the Latitude. It really doesn't much matter to me if it's a full time 4x4, as the fuel mileage is pretty respectable anyway. I'm just curious. I currently have a Camaro and drive it in the winter, just not on days that it snows ;) Luckily, I have had access to an old Jeep to drive on snow days. However, now I'm looking to purchase a full time winter ride so I can put the Camaro to sleep for a few months and keep her away from the salt! I agree about the size. I think it is very similar in size and shape to my mom's BMW X5, which would never be categorized as a compact crossover.
@NinjaEnShort10 жыл бұрын
cutielulu593 You're welcome. I most likely won't be doing much trail either but the Trailhawk comes with some pretty good options as well that weren't standard on Latitude trim (that's the North trim I think here in Canada). For example the Trailhawk comes with a full size spare tire, the exact same model as the "regular" 4 other tires actually which is always pretty nice. On the winter part particularly I live in Quebec so we have tons of snow every year (I don't know how your state compares) which means a LOT of salt and gravel everywhere (because the roads are poorly built in Quebec) and this will be the first winter for my car. If you're concerned about salt, Jeep offered me an extra anti rust treatment for the car when I ordered it at first (3 month waiting period almost to the day). A comment I sometimes got from a few "purists" was that it was "not a Jeep" (I replied it's simply not designed for the 60s) or looked like a "ladies car" just like the branding for the Compass and Patriot (the first being apparently considered to be more for women and the later for men). Now, despite the comments, I bought it and compared to the other models in the Jeep line-up in the "small SUV" (Patriot, Compass, Cherokee and Wrangler, the Grand Cherokee is really not playing in the same court) it is the best at many things: very spacious, the seats are very comfy (the Trailhawk comes standard with Premium Cloth, in fact they're about 50% leather, or the Standard Leather, Premium Leather is an option), some have said cargo space with seats unfolded is limited but I never had any issue with it (except for moving into a new apartment or going to Ikea of course), the gas consumption is reasonable on my V6 (that's an 1200$ option but I really advise to take it, makes the car much more reactive, especially since the Trailhawk is a bit heavier than the other) which is 12.5-13.5 liters per 100km mixed driving (I'm French so no idea what this is in imperial, obviously it also depends how you drive), the car is also very good at managing its consumption in cruise control. I had considered the Tiguan, the CRV, the RAV 4 and a few other SUVs in both new and used but the Cherokee really blew them out of the water on so many points the choice was pretty damn clear.
@cutielulu59310 жыл бұрын
Guillaume Doriat I live in Upstate New York, so we get tons of snow here, too. The Trailhawk looks awesome, but it's more than I want to spend. Since it'll just be my winter ride, I don't need all the bells and whistles. But the cold weather package is a must! I'm so glad Jeep offers heated cloth seats, so it's not necessary to upgrade to leather! I'll definitely be going with the V6! I've never driven anything with less and I don't think I could do it. I need the power!

So.......that's what "Trail Rated" has come to? I guess my XJ Cherokee will have to yank some of these out somewhere down the line on a real trail,sigh.... STILL,as equipped (not quite as "nicely equipped as say,my wife's Camry XLE V6,for eg,but nicely equipped with the good stuff where it counts I suppose) in this video,I won't insult the new Cherokee in the slightest. It obviously didn't have the same design parameters as the old Cherokees did (like my '98 Sport for eg),but as a family ride (where the weather isn't always perfect and the occasional FS road picnic trip would exist),in the video and from our own test drive in one,I have to say I like it (and no you cannot tell anyone in any of the XJ clubs I'm in,online or in person :P ). I have no doubts a similarly powered car (non-SUV) would run circles around it at the track (my Wife's Camry ran a best of 14.206 at 101.8MPH at Bristol,for eg),but then they wouldn't have the bad weather capabilities the Fiat...er...Jeep has (couldn't resist). I guess my opinion is this-I would definitely buy a new Cherokee for my Wife or daughter (not insinuating a gender bias,I mean them as individual persons and how I know they would personally use a daily driver),who would never have any intentions of ever going anywhere near a "real trail" to do anything resembling 4 wheeling,other than the possibility of the occasional gravel or FS road to get away for a picnic or nature walk (not quit a hike). My son and I would get good use out of one as well,as daily drivers to school/work of course...but I tend to like things lifted and capable off road or lowered and fast as does he (bearing in mind he's currently 12 :P ),so I'm glad the JK is at least still "Real Trail" rated,may Jeep never lose it's heritage in keeping at least one built-for-offroad-playing vehicle in it's line-up (take note Chrysler Corp....millions of loyal Jeep owners are watching ;) ).
