For more than 80 years, Jeep has created iconic vehicles known for their versatile capability and dynamic power when navigating various terrains and road conditions. The Cherokee is a prime example of a Jeep SUV that easily handles obstacles while accommodating plenty of space for your cargo, family, and friends. Here’s what our Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CDJR) Plano team loves about the latest Jeep Cherokee and its trim levels.
Discover the Jeep Cherokee’s Stunning Trim Levels
The current Jeep Cherokee is available in two trims: the Altitude Lux and Trailhawk. Across both trim levels, you’ll get a 2,000-pound towing capacity, electric power-assist steering, and a Jeep Brand 4×4 system. Choose from alluring exterior paint colors, such as Hydro Blue Pearl, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl, or Granite Crystal Metallic, for either Jeep Cherokee trim. This impressive vehicle also gives you a five-person seating capacity and a maximum interior cargo volume of 54.7 cubic feet.
Standard infotainment and connectivity elements include an 8.4-inch touch-screen display on the dash with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility. Plus, you get a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet and a 12-volt cargo power outlet for backup power when you’re camping in North Texas. If you want your new Jeep Cherokee to match your style, consider purchasing one of the following trims to benefit from its exclusive features.
Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux
The Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux is sleek and stylish, offering premium interior design features and good gas mileage. If you prefer driving around the Dallas-Fort Worth area in style, choose this Cherokee trim.
Miles per Gallon and Performance
Decent fuel economy is a must in a reliable SUV. And you can save money with fewer trips to the gas station with the Altitude Lux’s 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. This trim has a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder MultiAir engine that generates 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. The engine features Jeep’s Stop/Start technology that helps improve fuel efficiency in stop-and-go traffic. Other performance perks on the Altitude Lux include a nine-speed automatic transmission and normal duty suspension for seamless driving in the city of Plano, Texas.
Exterior Styling and Interior Features
The Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux presents an attractive exterior, featuring a black grille with chrome and black fascia applique. The active grille shutters are stylish and functional, improving the SUV’s aerodynamics by automatically closing when you drive at high speeds. This action also reduces air drag, which helps boost the Jeep Cherokee’s fuel efficiency.
The Altitude Lux gives you two wheel options: the standard 17-inch gloss-black wheels or the available 18-inch gloss-black five-spoke aluminum wheels. The interior of this trim exudes luxury with premium leather-trimmed bucket seats. This richness extends to the wall panels and more with the Altitude Lux’s Piano Black interior accents.
Additional Packages
You can upgrade the Altitude Lux trim with the Mopar interior package to keep your flooring clean. This package adds a cargo-area liner and slush mats by Mopar to protect your SUV’s floors from damage and debris. Elevate the interior luxury of this Jeep Cherokee trim with the available Lux Elite Package, which adds ventilated front seats, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, a premium Alpine speaker system, exterior mirrors with memory, and a hands-free power liftgate.
Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
If you love off-roading, consider the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. This trim optimizes power and handling and offers a durable exterior that withstands rough terrains. Check out the following specs that make this Jeep SUV the ultimate adventure vehicle.
Miles per Gallon and Performance
For the best Jeep Cherokee engine performance, choose the Trailhawk trim. It features a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbo engine with a dual overhead camshaft. The turbo engine produces a mighty 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has decent fuel economy, reaching 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. While this trim has room for improvement with fuel efficiency, you get the most powerful engine option. Other noteworthy performance elements include a nine-speed automatic transmission with Active Drive II and an off-road suspension. Test the Trailhawk’s off-roading capabilities with hill-descent control for better handling on a slope and the Selec-Speed Control system that regulates the Jeep’s speed on inclines and declines.
Exterior Styling and Interior Features
The Trailhawk trim boasts a durable exterior with off-road wheel flares and available rock rails by Mopar, perfect for tackling any adventure. Your Jeep Cherokee will make a visual impact on the trails with its accent-colored surround grille and fascia appliques. It also features a black hood decal and exclusive Trailhawk and Trail-Rated badges.
The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk comes standard with 17-inch painted diamond-cut aluminum wheels. If you want an upgrade, select the available 17-inch black-painted aluminum wheels. The Trailhawk boasts a comfy interior, including cloth and premium vinyl bucket seats with red interior accent stitching. Light up your interior with the front map pocket LED lamps, and keep your carpets clean with all-season floor mats.
Additional Packages
Luxurious interior features are not exclusive to the Altitude Lux trim. The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has an available Premium Leather Package, which adds premium leather-trimmed bucket seats and ventilated front seats. Your front passenger will receive quality comfort with the eight-way power seat adjuster and power lumbar support. Additional benefits of this package include exterior mirrors with memory and a hands-free power liftgate.
The Sun and Sound Group package optimizes interior comforts on the Trailhawk trim with an active noise control system, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and a premium Alpine speaker system. Select the Trailer-Tow Group package if you prioritize outstanding towing abilities. This package features a seven- and four-pin wiring harness, a Class III receiver, and a trailer-tow wiring harness to ensure safe towing wherever you go in the great state of Texas.
