Great MPGs.... thats about it
I regret buying this jeep. They are not at all made the way they used to be made. Within the first 2 months of having it, the seat in the back bust at the zipper and cannot be repaired - has to be replaced. One week after purchasing I had to take it back in because the tint was bubbling. Now I'm at 15,000 miles and when you turn the car on, the RPMs go up and down and up and down and up and down.... then after about a minute they get back to normal. The transmission does not shift properly and jerks you around. I got the doors wet with rain and now all 4 of the door's interior are bubbling and destroyed. This is the most expensive piece of crap I've ever bought. I am so disappointed in Jeep. Will never buy a new jeep again.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM CHRYSLER PRODUCTS!!!
If I could negatively rate my Cherokee I would. I don't even know where to start with the issues... Purchased 3/29/2015- in the shop for the 1st time June 2015 with transmission issues (they claimed it just needed some updates) In the shop for 2nd time 10/1/2015- still with transmission issues. They replaced the valve body and harness. Brought car back home 10/13/2015 Had to bring it back to the shop the very next day, almost got in an accident with the transmission issues, my car stalled in the middle of an intersection. It bucks and has delayed acceleration/gear switching. It kicks itself out of drive while I am driving on the highway. It bucks and stalls in traffic. Had to bring my car back to the shop 10/14/2015 (as of today 10/23/2015 it is still in the shop with no end in sight) and escalated my case with Chrysler. Chrysler and the dealership have been an absolute nightmare to deal with. All I want is a safe car and to have my car bought back from me. Please stay away! Update: Chrysler did not do anything to honor the car being a lemon. I ended up having to take a $5,000 loss, but am in a Nissan Rouge now and I absolutely love it!

Looks like a great vehicle, but it isn't
Transmission problems make this a vehicle to avoid. My 2015 Cherokee (6 cyl, 9 speed transmission) looked great inside and out, and handled nicely. However, the powertrain was a disaster. The engine, the transmission, and the Auto Stop/Start system seemed to have declared war on each other, and the result was a vehicle that made any journey an adventure, in a bad way. It would shift into fourth gear by about 30 mph, then never be able to find an appropriate gear. The transmission's nine speeds should be named clunking, hesitating, surging, hunting, grinding, freewheeling and "3 overdrive gears that are never used". Its transmission was replaced at 900 miles, and started showing the same symptoms at 3000 miles. The vehicle had three recalls and 9 overnight stays in the dealers' repair bays in six months. It was one scary ride. This review is written in the past tense since I sold it to CarMax last month at 3200 miles and bought a 2016 Mazda CX-5 (which I love so far).

Good and bad
Pros: Off road capability, tow capacity, overall size. Cons: Short on cargo space, can't disable the auto engine shut off feature, U-Connect and radio software not reliable, transmission frequently clanks hard between gears.

Go with the V6
I bought a 2015 Trailhawk with the 3.2L V6 about 3 months ago and I love it. I was leaning towards a Charger or similar car and i drove a Jeep Cherokee Latitude and feel loved it. After doing a little research I saw that the Cherokee is a heavy vehicle and the V6 was a much better option. I ended up finding a 2015 Trailhawk model with the 3.2L V6 for a good price and I've been in love ever since. I wasn't sure about the 9 speed transmission 2015 being the first year but I must say I've had no performance issues at all. At 270+ HP it's got plenty of power and i pass people with no problem. It can be a little sluggish off the start while the 4x4 is in auto mode but not if you need a little extra boost put it in Sport Mode and your good to go. I've even taken the Trailhawk off road twice and I was blown away with the performance and ability of my new, "used" SUV. My only complaint is that I've had issues with the 8.5 inch Uconnect touch screen and have read that the issues with it are common but it's getting replaced free of charge. I've heard a ton of complaints about the limited power of the 2.4L 4cyl engine but as far as mine with the V6 so far I couldn't be happier.
