How Much Does a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Cost?

The 2017 Jeep Cherokee is offered in Sport, Latitude, Limited, Trailhawk and Overland trims. All Cherokees except the Trailhawk come with front-wheel drive as standard, offering all-wheel drive (Active Drive I) as an option. Latitude and Limited models with all-wheel drive are eligible for the Active Drive II upgrade, which adds low-range gearing and an off-road suspension. The Trailhawk comes standard with a special version of Active Drive II that includes a locking rear differential.

The base Sport ($24,590) comes with 17-in steel wheels, LED daytime running lights and taillights, remote keyless entry, a rear wiper, height-adjustable front seats, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, a 5-in touchscreen display and a 6-speaker audio system with an SD card reader, USB charging port and auxiliary input jack.

The Latitude ($26,540) has 17-in aluminum wheels, bi-xenon headlights, roof rails, a fold-flat front passenger seat with integrated seat-cushion storage, a rearview camera, a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with auxiliary audio controls, and eligibility for several options, including Uconnect with the 8.4-in touchscreen.

The Limited ($30,490) adds 18-in aluminum wheels, keyless entry with push-button start, leather upholstery, a power driver's seat (the passenger seat remains manual), a 7-in driver information display, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a universal garage door opener, a heated steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, USB connectivity and the excellent 8.4-in Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system (optional in the Latitude, unavailable in the Sport).

The Trailhawk ($32,190) loses the Limited's standard power driver's seat (it's an extra-cost option) and a few other convenience items but gains a more sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, unique 17-in alloy wheels, skid plates, an off-road suspension with a 1-in lift (raising ground clearance to a useful 8.7 inches), front and rear tow hooks, flared fenders and sporty cloth/vinyl/leather upholstery (leather is also optional).

The lavish Overland ($35,890) features body-colored fascias and side cladding, 18-in polished alloy wheels, power driver's and front passenger seats that are also heated and ventilated (memory with the driver's seat), a steering wheel with wood trim, a leather-wrapped instrument panel, Berber mats, an upgraded audio system, a power liftgate, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors.

Some of the higher trims' standard features are optional in the lower levels. The Technology Group package (Limited and Trailhawk only) brings adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a forward-collision warning system with automatic braking, lane-departure warning and parallel/perpendicular parking assist. There's also a lesser Safety Tec package consisting of a blind spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors and heated side mirrors.

When properly equipped, a V6-powered Cherokee can tow a maximum of 4,500 pounds. With the rear seats up, cargo space is 24.6 cu ft., about 5 cu ft. short of average. With the rears folded down, it's still only 54.9 cu ft.; many rivals have at least 10 cu ft. more.
