2019 Jeep Cherokee Carthage TX

What is the engine lineup?

Power is no obstacle while you’re inside the 2019 Cherokee. This impressive SUV is offered with three different engine options. All of them can be paired with either front-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. The first engine is a 2.4-liter inline-4, which creates 180 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. Next up is an optional 3.2-liter V6, which produces 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque. Last, but certainly not least, is the all-new turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4. This engine can output 295 lb-ft of torque and 270 hp. Every available engine is connected to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The shifting is smooth, and you’ll love the purr whenever you press down on the accelerator.

What trim options are offered?

The combination of a smooth ride with an adventurous spirit seems hard to fit into an SUV. But the Cherokee balances both with ease, especially among the five different trim level options. First up is Latitude, which sits as the base model. Latitude comes in with Bluetooth, automatic xenon headlights, a folding front passenger seat, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rearview camera, 17-inch wheels, a 6-speaker audio system, a USB port, and a seven-inch touchscreen interface. To give things an extra boost, you might want to consider Trailhawk. This trim was made for those looking to take on the great outdoors, especially as it comes with increased ground clearance, unique leather and cloth upholstery, tow hooks, a locking rear differential, all-terrain tires, hill ascent and descent control, off-road-oriented suspension tuning, 17-inch wheels, and skid plates. Looping back around is the luxurious and comfortable Overland model. This trim adds a leather-wrapped instrument panel, 18-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, a 9-speaker audio system, HD radio, driver-seat memory functions, sound-deadening front windows and windshield, wood steering-wheel inserts, and a power-adjustable passenger seat.

What are a few safety features?

The Cherokee ensures that no matter where you’re going, you and your passengers will be safe. There is a long list of available safety features for you to choose from with this SUV, starting with electronic stability control. This system allows you to have a backup system should it be detected that you’re veering off of your intended path. It even has the capability to correct under/oversteering. Other available features include rear cross path detection, full-speed forward collision warning, LaneSense lane departure warning, eight standard airbags, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, a standard ParkView rear backup camera, and parallel and perpendicular park assist.
