Having done some research prior to making this purchase, I didn't waste my time even looking at the 4 cylinder model. The 3.2 6 cylinder does a very nice job with excellent acceleration and a very smooth feel. It is a bit hesitant to down shift in response to increased throttle; if you want the sportier feel you can set the 4 wheel drive to "sport" mode and the transmission response feels much quicker. The sport mode does cause a hit to fuel economy so there is a trade off. I've been getting right around 25 mpg for mostly highway (probably 70/30) driving in the standard setting which I feel is quite reasonable. As I'm older (65) the ability to easily get in and out of the car was important to me and as one would expect with an SUV, it is quite comfortable to enter. The seats are comfortable as well and the power adjustment along with adjustable steering column provides for very comfortable seating. That being said, leather would have been a nice option. Of the other vehicles I looked at the Chevy Equinox came closest. The Jeep won out with a more substantial feel, was better equipped for the price, and the jeep dealer was much more willing to discount the price; the discount for the Jeep was about $4500 while the Chevy dealer seemed to hit a hard stop at about $2300. I'm sure there are other small SUVs that might be better choices depending on the buyers requirements, but given my need for towing capability as well as basic transportation, the Jeep really seemed the right choice and after 2 months I've found no reason to believe otherwise. As things are right now, I'd make the same buying decision and would recommend the Cherokee to family or friends. Up date at 8 months and 6000 miles. The gas mileage has settled in to about 23 mpg as I've stopped trying to keep it up and become a bit more heavy footed. Still very happy with the car. It has been completely trouble free to this point (as would be expected for a new car in this day and age). I've had reason to use the heated seats and, unlike other cars I've owned, the heated seat can be set to two levels and the lower is quite comfortable with the high setting being a bit on the overkill side. The heated steering wheel, while not dual level causes a temperature rise that is quite comfortable. The performance continues to impress. UPDATE: Due to go out of warrantee in 4 months so I've had the Cherokee for almost 3 years and have just over 26,000 miles on it. Only thing that's gone wrong was the cooling fan and that was only one of three stages. Part was not in stock but since a loaner was provided (no charge) it was fairly painless. Car still runs great and I remain very pleased with my purchase. Everything that should be tight remains so, it feels stable on the road with good throttle response and the few times I've really needed the 4 wheel drive, it's come through for me wonderfully. The only thing that I wish this car had was a no cost mapping feature - mapping is available, but Jeep charges a monthly fee so I make do with my phone. The one thing this car has which I've really come to like is the remote starter, if I buy another IC car I'll most certainly have one included. UPDATE at 3 1/4 years into ownership. the Cherokee is still trouble free including all electronics. Feels as good on the road as it did the day I bought it. The pandemic has reduced the miles driven so I haven't quite hit 30K at this point. Edmund"s still doesn't offer the ability to show the Model as a Latitude 6 Cyl. so I expect that some will miss this review when searching; hopefully the title helps. Mileage remains at 22/23 depending on the driving mix. Performance still impresses. I check the oil occasionally between changes and I've not yet needed to add any. I still give this car a 5 star rating. I'm up to 4 1/4 years and 34,000 miles. Still running like a champ. No changes to the 5 star rating. Just about to hit 5 years of ownership at 37K miles. Only thing to update is tire wear. My front tires are in need of replacement and the rear are close enough that I'll replace those as well. These Goodyear tires were supposed to be 65K mile tires so they've failed miserably. Given their abysmal performance I'll be ignoring any savings I might get from the remaining warrantee and buy another brand. The car itself continues to delight. 5 years and 41k miles with no problems to speak of. I remain quite happy with my purchase. A few months beyond 6 years and just under 49k miles and still very happy with my purchase. This car has required nothing other than gas, oil, and washer fluid. All components continue to function as new. Great car.

I just purchased a 2017 Cherokee Latitude a few weeks ago, and continue to be impressed. To put it in perspective, I also have a 2016 Honda CRV and can make a good comparison now. I had shopped both cars and negotiated rock bottom deals on both. The sticker price of the Jeep was $36K but with big rebates to be had the price of both cars ended up within $100 of each other, or $27.5K out the door going with their mid level trim; Latitude for the Jeep and EX for the CRV. But compare what I got in terms of value: Power: the 6 cylinder engine of the Jeep is is much more powerful and smooth than the 4 cylinder in the Honda..a 90 hp difference..advantage Jeep. Convenience: The Jeep has Power tailgate, Much better/larger LCD Infotainment System, Remote Start, More Adjustable and comfortable power front seats Auto Mirror, integrated 911 system etc not on the CRV. The CRV came with heated seats and the blind spot camera, both nice things but not of the value of the Jeep. Utility: The Jeep came with Roof Rails, Tow package (can tow 4500 lbs!), and full size spare. Honda did not include roof rails at that price point or tow hitch, and can tow only 1500 lbs if so configured. Advantage Jeep. Design: The Jeep has a unique outdoorsey presence about it, with off color stitching. The Honda is a good design, but more boring. The Jeep has a full panoramic sunroof, while the Honda just has a small standard one. 4WD: The Jeep has adjustable settings of the drive system, not to mention higher ground clearance and approach angles. While not a Trailhawk, the Jeep Latitude wins vs the CRV re offroad capabilities. Ride Quality: This is a big factor.:The Jeep is as smooth as can be; The Honda is great compared to other small SUV's and has an impressive CVT transmission but compared to the Jeep ride quality is not as good and does not feel as substantial. Especially on long highway trips, the Jeep with the V6 is just a better place to be and feels like a luxury car. In fairness the CRV scores some points with more cargo room, better mpg, and the blind spot camera. So in terms of Value, the Jeep is the clear winner and would even be worth the sticker price. In terms of reliability, I guess that is TBD, but the Jeep seems impressively solid and unstressed. If that is a big concern, Jeep offers an insane Lifetime/Unlimited Miles Warranty Upgrade for $2-3K. Being an import car buyer since 1982 ( my CRV was assembled in Canada), I am now changing my perception. Honda and CRV are always rated at the top of pack, and there are some outdated perceptions out there that imports are somehow better. Jeep Cherokee has one of the highest US contents of any vehicle. It is great to support fellow hard working Americans who make a product that is world class. USA, USA, USA!!

This is a great SUV that is price right in the middle of the larger and smaller SUV, i.e Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Compass. If you are looking for a leap forward in power get the V6 rated at 271 HP compared to the 4 cylinder at 184 HP. A big plus is that you do not loose much in mileage. Over all the fit and finish is great and I have had no problems thus far. My vehicle: 2017 Cherokee 4X4 Latitude with the 8.4 Uconnect system and the 3.2 V6 engine.

2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4 WITH V-6

have the v-6, which is not an option when doing this review for some reason. I love this SUV. Handles great, gets awesome mpg's especially for a mid-sized 4x4 SUV with a v-6. I don't care for the transmission though at take off from a stop. And I don't care for the engine automaticly shutting off everytime I stop. I know I can turn that function off, but I have to turn it off everytime I get in the SUV and I usually forget until it has already shut off on me, I should be able to shut that feature off perminently if I want.

i purchased my 2017 Jeep Cherokee on Memorial day of this year. It is a Latitude with the V6 , 9 speed auto and all wheel drive-select one. I recently drove from Minnesota to Phoenix, a distance of 1800 miles and was pleasantly surprised at my gas mileage. My highway speeds were generally between 60-80 mph. On I90 in South Dakota my mileage dropped from 30 to 24.9 due to stiff crosswinds. When I turned south, the crosswinds became tailwinds and the mileage went back up to 30 as I arrived at Ogallala, Nebraska. It stayed relatively steady thru Colorado Springs and all the way to Gallup, New Mexico. As I approached Flagstaff, it had dropped to 28, but then the ride down the mountain to Phoenix bumped it back up to 31.4. The seats are comfortable, and the vehicle was quiet, except for varying tire noise on different pavement. The nav system worked well, although since it was just installed, the updates should have been more recent. They weren't. I maintained speeds at or near the legal limit. Overall, I would give this suv a 4. I also carried a full load of cargo. On combined trips, 80/20, highway/city, the mileage was between 25 and 28.
