Your next SUV needs to be able to handle the demands of your thrilling excursions.

To give you a breakdown of its efficiency and capabilities, Beaver County Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram created this review of the Cherokee MPG. Adventure seekers in Beaver Falls, Pittsburgh, Aliquippa, and Ellwood City should read on to learn more and contact us with any questions.
Engine Options and Efficiency
To find the blend of power and fuel economy needed to tackle your next big adventure, the Jeep Cherokee offers three engine options. Two of these motors, the standard 2.4-liter Tigershark® MultiAir®2 4-cylinder engine and the available 2.0-liter 4-cylinder Turbo engine, can achieve an EPA-estimated 31 MPG on the highway.
If you need to tow your lightweight travel trailer, though, consider the available 3.2-liter Pentastar® V6 engine. This motor generates 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque, which, when combined with the available Trailer Tow Group, can haul up to 4,500 pounds. Despite this power, it still boasts an EPA-estimated 29 MPG on the highway to help you sail past gas stations on the way to your campsite.
Fuel-Saving Technologies
So how does the Jeep Cherokee achieve such a stellar fuel economy? Engine Stop/Start Technology is equipped on all the motors, helping you travel long distances before needing to refuel. This system shuts the engine off when you're idling at a stoplight or in rush hour traffic, to conserve power. When movement resumes, it'll seamlessly restart your motor, so performance is never compromised.
The available 2.0-liter 270 horsepower engine takes efficiency to the next level with direct injection, as well. Fuel metering is controlled and precise to ensure you're getting the most out of every drop of gasoline, so you can travel over 485 highway miles on just one tank of gas alone.
Stray Off the Beaten Path
Such an impressive MPG means you'll travel far from civilization with confidence knowing you have enough fuel for the journey. To help you take on whatever off-road challenges come your way, the Jeep Cherokee has three 4-wheel drive systems. Available Jeep Active Drive Lock provides water fording up to 20 inches along with an 8.7-inch ground clearance to help you sail over obstacles and through flooded areas.
To further improve your off-road capability in the Cherokee, a Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System pairs with your selected 4x4 system. Choose from Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud, and available Rock modes to coordinate 12 vehicle components for optimal grip and performance over various uneven and challenging terrain.
