Jeep did not end things there, as it has introduced a new 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged inline-4 with 270 hp and 295 lb-ft. Underneath its new skin, the upgraded Cherokee has the same FCA Compact Wide platform. While it has kept some of its original features, Jeep has gone out of their way to improve the Cherokee as an off-road vehicle while still promising a great commute experience.
Design Changes
One of the most notable changes for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee is its headlight. The former layout has been dropped by Jeep, giving the new car an upgraded look. While the previous layout did make Cherokee stand out from the competition, Jeep admitted that it also likely turned off potential customers. To avoid that, Jeep tweaked the hood and front clip for a more conventional style.
In addition, the car maker's team of designers refreshed the rear end. Taillights and exhaust tips were given a much-needed update, along with the rear license plate which has been moved from the bumper to the liftgate.
Although most of those changes were minor, Motor Trend claims they did an imppressive job of keeping the Cherokee's signature design fresh.
Variants and Price
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee has 18-Inch x 7-Inch polished/painted aluminum wheels. It comes in seven colors: Granite Crystal, Light Brownstone, Diamond Black, Bright White, Velvet Red, Olive Green and BIllet Silver. For the crossover's price, the four-wheel drive has a starting price of $30,375 while its 4x4 counterpart is priced at a slightly steeper $33,620.
