The latest 2022 Jeep Cherokee ditches its nontraditional styling for a more familial Grand Cherokee Light design. The V6 here is still an option, but there's a hot turbocharged 2.0-liter engine as well. In proper Jeep fashion, the Cherokee remains one of the most capable compact SUVs in the segment.

Overview
The 2022 Jeep Cherokee is one of many small SUVs in a very competitive segment. All Cherokees offer a comfortable ride and good visibility. And Jeep offers five trim levels, so there's likely one that matches your budget or your desired level of off-road capability. If you plan on doing some off-roading with your Cherokee, we'd strongly suggest getting the Trailhawk version. Its raised suspension, special four-wheel-drive system and all-terrain tires really help out on rutted and rocky trails.

As capable as the Cherokee is, it's not the roomiest SUV in its class. Rivals such as the Honda CR-V and the Mazda CX-5 both offer more space and a bit more refinement. Since the Cherokee received a few updates for 2021, mainly in the form of additional standard features and advanced driver aids, we don't expect the 2022 model to be much different. Check out our Expert Rating to get our test team's full evaluation of the Cherokee's comfort, performance and more.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Good
7.8
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Jeep Cherokee on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Cherokee drive? We're pleasantly surprised by the Cherokee's sporty nature, especially when you consider Jeep's reputation for off-road capability. The steering is nicely weighted and feels direct. It also transmits some of the road texture to the driver. The wheel is well balanced, and there's a good sense of on-center feel. Shifts feels sluggish with the nine-speed automatic, so we'd probably opt for the turbo 2.0-liter engine, which outperforms the V6.
The brake pedal makes it easy and predictable to stop smoothly in everyday driving. Off-roading is above average too, with multiple trim levels from which to choose that offer varying levels of capability in the dirt.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the Cherokee? The Cherokee does a fine job of softening harsh roads but is less adept at controlling the ups and downs of smoother undulating roads. We found the seats to be comfortable, with nice, breathable upholstery, even if they don't provide a lot of lateral support. There's an average amount of road and wind noise, not enough to be distracting, but we wouldn't call it quiet either.
The climate control system maintains temperature well, and the controls are easy to locate and adjust. Some functions such as the seat and steering wheel heaters are located in the touchscreen, requiring an extra step, but pop up immediately when you start the car — a nice touch. The seat heaters get toasty quickly, too.

The seat heaters get toasty quickly, too.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The high-mounted cabin is easy to climb into and see out of, and there's an ample amount of headroom. The view straight back is free of obstructions, and the generous glass — including the small window at each rear flank — also helps to minimize blind spots. There's also a generous amount of seat height adjustment, which should suit a wide range of driver types. Backseat passengers will appreciate the generous legroom.
This Jeep is not only easy to use, it's also easy to figure out, thanks to a straightforward Uconnect infotainment system and large, easy-to-wield knobs and buttons. However, those who are eyesight-challenged might want to upgrade to the larger 8.4-inch infotainment screen.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard and the entry-level infotainment interface is nice, even if the icons are on the small side. The touchscreen menu is pretty straightforward, providing prompts that are helpful in guiding you through the available commands. You can make calls, tune to a radio station, and even set the climate control system through voice commands. There are two USB ports up front and two more for charging in the back, and the upgraded audio system delivers great sound.
Our test car did not have many driver aids, but the alerts (such as blind-spot warning) can be configured to be audible or visual only. Adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist are only available on higher trims.

Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? Despite the trunk's small volume dimensions, its layout is clever and useful. The adjustable load floor is handy and liftover height is manageable, but the Cherokee has one of the small trunks in the segment with 24.6 cubic feet of cargo space. There's a good variety of cabin storage options for the items people commonly bring inside.
Child safety seat anchors are clearly marked and accessible between the rear seatback and bottom cushion. Likewise, the rear tethers are easy to access on the back of the seats. For those who tow trailers, an optional tow package increases the Cherokee's capacity to a useful 4,500 pounds max.

Fuel Economy
6.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? Our V6 test vehicle is rated at 22 mpg (19 city/27 highway), which is well below what competitors return. We averaged 20.9 mpg over the course of two weeks, with a best return of 25.2 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation loop. The optional turbo 2.0-liter is not only more efficient but makes more power.
Value
7/10
Is the Cherokee a good value? Our midlevel Cherokee model was missing some interior refinement, but things weren't all bad. The control knobs have soft detents and rubberized knurling that makes for easy adjustment. The hard plastic trim has a ruggedness to it, but it looks a bit cheap compared to what's in segment leaders.
The Cherokee has a three-year/36,000-mile basic and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, which matches most rivals. Roadside assistance is covered for five years/60,000 miles, which is better than some rivals. For pure value, segment leaders offer more standard features, but many of the Jeep's add-ons are affordable, and some are not offered by competitors. Ultimately, you're paying more for Jeep capability.

Wildcard
8/10
The Cherokee is much easier on the eyes after Jeep's midcycle refresh for 2019, but its design definitely lost some of its predecessor's boldness. Couple that with the fact that it's one of the most capable off-road vehicles in the class that's also surprisingly fun to drive on the road, and it's a rig we'd be happy to drive daily.
2022 Jeep Cherokee trim level differences
The 2022 Jeep Cherokee small SUV is available in five main trim levels: the base Altitude, the more comprehensively equipped Latitude Lux, the new X, the rugged Trailhawk and the range-topping Limited. The Altitude and Latitude Lux Cherokees come with front-wheel drive and offer four-wheel drive as an option. For 2022, the Cherokee X, Trailhawk and Limited trims all come with 4WD as standard equipment. Main feature highlights include: Compare the 2022 Jeep Cherokee trim levels in-depth.
Which Cherokee trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Latitude Lux trim is the way to go because it delivers a lot of features that enhance the Cherokee ownership experience at a reasonable price. Also get the optional turbocharged engine upgrade since the base engine is rather anemic. If you're planning to venture into any sort of off-roading, however, the Trailhawk is the clear winner.

2021 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4dr SUV (3.2L 6cyl 9A)
Time for a new lease as my Tiguan went back. I looked at a new Tiguan, Subaru Outback, Jeep Cherokee and the Volvo X 40. I chose the Jeep Cherokee.
The Jeep felt the most substantial by far. I was surprised by the cheap plastic center in the Subaru and the Volvo. The Tiguan was all plastic but for 289.00 a month all in (including all taxes and fees) the Tiguan Se was the least … expensive vehicle I have ever leased. The same equipped Tiguan was 370.00 a month. I really missed the heated steering wheel from my previous BMW so it was a must for my new lease. A Tiguan with a heated steering wheel was 407.00 a month. I set out for a new compact SUV for 350.00 a month. I never thought of leasing a Jeep but in my budget it kept coming up so I test drove it. I knew instantly this would be my next vehicle. I leased a Jeep Cherokee V6 Limited with Elite Pkg. for 381.00 a month including taxes and all fees. This was the most equipped car I ever had. Cooled seats front and back it even can parallel park. I love the remote start which automatically turns on the heated seats and steering wheel. This Jeep is on par with my X3. Which was 500.00 a month a new one 700. a month to lease. Value wise this is the best vehicle you will find. It took months of tracking prices and negotiating for me to get this price.
The Jeep ride is great, acceleration is great too. The Volvo was slightly better but the Jeep was pretty close. It rides more like the X3. The info entertainment is easy to use intuitive and fast which really makes for a great driving experience. The Jeep is compact unlike the Tiguan which felt like you had so much space in the cabin. Handling is sharp seats are comfortable. Since it mainly me and one other person most of the time I can live with the snug cabin. I took Delivery at the end of November and have had no problems. Fit and finish is great so I am thinking it should be pretty reliable.
Update: I still love my Cherokee. The Adaptive cruise control is amazing. Life changing feature. The stop and go really takes the sting out of heavy traffic. The automatic high beams are amazing. The ride is great it really takes any size pot hole no problem. Well not quite the razor sharp handle of a BMW it’s much more comfortable. The ride, handling, and acceleration strike a great balance. The lane keep assist is the cars big down fall. It’s will pull slightly at the wheel for no reason. Less on the highway than around town. It feels like you hit a piece of ice. I doesn’t bother me as much now but at first it was annoying as hell. I tried to disable it but couldn’t. I just put it on the lowest setting. Hopefully they will use a lane centering on the next update. The car feels so high tech it’s quite unexpected.. I am so glad I got this Jeep. I would have never considered it, if not for the chip shortage. Inventories were starting to get tight and they had the inventory. I got this lease at such a great deal.I am so grateful as prices are skyrocketing on leases. Blown away by the luxury driving experience from a Jeep, Who knew!
Love it!

2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux 4dr SUV (3.2L 6cyl 9A)
This is my second Jeep Cherokee. I am totally blown away with this SUV. I love the color, the interior, the v6 the features, I could go on and on. I previously had a 4 cylinder and thought that it was way under powered. I recommend everyone I know to test drive a Jeep Cherokee, they will be hooked as I am.

2021 Jeep Cherokee 80th Anniversary Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (3.2L 6cyl 9A)
I purchased the limited edition 80th anniversary Jeep Cherokee because I loved the look, handling and the price was right with factory employee discount. Less than 1500 miles on the vehicle and it's been in twice for service the last two days, today the vehicle won't stay started. I was told last evening that there was a bad relay sensor, which was replaced. This morning the car … started, but turned off almost immediately. Not good for a brand new "showroom" vehicle.
Love my Trailhawk Elite

2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (3.2L 6cyl 9A)
I wouldn't trade my 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk for anything. It is my commuter car as well as my "farm truck"--it tows my horse trailer and I use it when I need to drag round hay bales out to my horses. Snowy country roads are easy to get through. It's a quiet, comfortable ride. Safe too--my new 2019 Trailhawk was written off following a collision--it took a beating but I walked away … with only bruises; I was very impressed at how it did its job and absorbed the impact. After that I had no doubt that I wanted to replace it with the 2021 Trailhawk. I've now owned the 2021 for almost 5 years and still I haven't a bad thing to say about it. I'm hooked on Jeep!
