Had a 2015 Cherokee Limited, and liked it, but the 18 Overland is a real winner. Quieter, smoother, better seats. And I love the safety tech and the way the 4x4 sits up on the road. Happy, happy owner. And still extremely happy one year later. Great road trip car!

Beyond expectations

I actual have the 3.2L V6 Limited 4X4 trim version with heated front leather seats and steering wheel, dual zone climate control, BSM, Rear cross-traffic alert, Back up sensors, back-up camera, and automatic start stop. It totally has went above and beyond my expectations, I was a bit hesitant at first with the 9 speed transmission cause I had rented a 200 when they first came out with 9 speed, but it’s great in the Cherokee. I love the styling mines white with the the black cladding, I blacked out all the Crome and dipped the rims black. Acceleration, comfort, driving aid and entertainment are all great, but one major thumbs down is there is still no apple car-play in an 18 come onnnn. Would totally buy it again next the overland though.

2.4l has a nasty history of oil consumption

My wife leases this car and after 1.5 years i cannot wait to get rid of it. To begin it burns oil like crazy, 1 quart every 2,500 - 3,000 miles. When factoring that a typical engine using full synthetic oil should get 10,000 miles/change (Conservative), jeep recommends every 6,000 miles. I called the dealership about the excessive oil consumption and they told me with the 2.4L that 2,500 to 3,000 is actually NORMAL! In my opinion a car with less than 10,000 miles, it should not be burning oil like a 20 yr old car with 200K+ miles on it. I was told that if i was burning more than a quart of oil every 800 miles than they would do a engine swap after they preform their testing. (A quart of oil every 800 miles is by no means a reliable car). The worst part is that this oil consumption issues with the 2.4L has been an issue since 2015 and they still use this engine in new models. In addition, for a near top of the line model of this car, the interior is rather disappointing. Seats are narrow, no room for a passenger with a rear facing car seat, and i cant imagine a forward facing car seat would be like. Very average gas mileage, combine 19 mpg. I am writing because we recently bought a Subaru outback and i am blown away by how much better of a car it is compared to the jeep Cherokee for price, quality, fuel economy, AWD system, and interior is so much better it cant even compare. If you are in the market for a jeep go elsewhere because Fiat is going to run this company into the ground.

It's really a V-6

I put over 1,000 miles on it the first week. Very good on the highway and not bad on city streets. Compared to my 92 Wrangler with over 350,000 on the odometer this vehicle is a Limo. I do find it odd that FCA left 2014 technology in the radio when even they step down vehicle Compass has the new radio. Still very disappointed that Jeep lied about being able to upgrade the radio after the sale to include Android Auto. I also will NEVER buy another Jeep product after being lied to about being able to renew UConnect on an annual discounted basis. It's sad they tried to take advantage of their customers during the pandemic. **UPDATE** After 2 1/2 years and 35,000 miles I'm still happy with the 2018 Cherokee. But the dealership (several different) people that told me the car either came with Android Auto or it was a coming update tell me I should probably choose a different manufacturer next time.......one where the people actually know their vehicles.

Wrecked my scion during a bad storm. Insurance gave me a sizeable amount for a new rig, so I was checking out what I could afford. This was May 2019 and I picked up an unsold 2018 Cherokee, 18 miles on the clock, with a sticker price of under $20k. I couldnt go up to the $25k price range, so I had to choose between the V6 or 4WD. I went with the V6 in FWD and it was a good call. Say what you will about Fiat Chrysler, that Pentastar 3.2L is a peach.It loves to stretch its legs getting on to the highway. I heard a few complaints about the transmission shifting "weird", but that is just the design of the transmission. It has two gearsets that have dog-teeth rather than traditional clutch packs, so when shifting into these gears, the transmission internals have to stop completely before shifting. Strange shift feel but much stronger. Only problems I had after 30k miles was a defective oil filter o-ring that leaked oil onto the serpentine belt causing the alternator and power steering to slip (lit the dash up like a christmas tree) and a throttle position sensor that glitched out one time. Would I get one again? Eh, maybe. I mean it is a good car, but it is still a cheap car. A ford explorer with a V6 would set you back almost $50k. In fact, almost all SUVs with a V6 are over $30k, so this is a fantastic rig for the price. I drive about an hour to work and back every day, and used it to go 600 miles every weekend for about a year. Comfortable for the long rides and with enough room to fold the seats down and lay down for a nap in the back. I do not regret buying it.
