2022 Jeep Cherokee Trims Comparison

2022 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:

Altitude
Starts you off with:

  • 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque)
  • Nine-speed automatic transmission
  • Roof rails
  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Keyless ignition and entry
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker audio system

Standard driver aids include:

  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Cherokee back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Latitude Lux
Adds the following features:

  • 3.2-liter V6 engine (271 hp and 239 lb-ft) or optional turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (270 hp and 295 lb-ft)
  • Power liftgate
  • Leather upholstery
  • Upgraded driver information display
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Household-style power outlet

Cherokee X
This new trim has the features of the Altitude plus a bit more capability by way of:

  • V6 engine only
  • All-terrain tires
  • Off-road-tuned suspension
  • Wheel arch extensions
  • Rear tow hook

Trailhawk
Feature-wise, the off-road-oriented Trailhawk is similar to the Cherokee X. But it does also come with:

  • V6 engine only
  • Upgraded 4WD system with locking rear axle (enhances traction when off roading)
  • Black hood decals
  • All-terrain tires
  • Upgraded off-road suspension
  • Underbody skid plate

Limited
The most luxurious trim in the Cherokee range boasts:

  • Standard V6 or optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine
  • 18-inch wheels
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Nine-speaker premium audio system
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Jeep and the car in front, even in heavy traffic)
  • Automated parking system

Many of the extra standard features on the upper trims can be added to the lower trims as options. Other main options include:

  • Elite package (Limited trim only)
    • 19-inch wheels
    • Ventilated front seats
    • Heated rear seats
    • Hands-free liftgate
    • Integrated navigation system
  • Trailer tow package
    • Class III receiver hitch
    • Seven-pin wiring harness
    • Upgraded engine cooling

Which 2022 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.
