The new Jeep Cherokee arrives with three different powertrains under the hood to achieve impressive horsepower and torque. Firstly, the entry-level trim of the new Jeep Cherokee is the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that couples to a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. The duo released a substantial 171 pound-feet of torque and 180 horsepower. You should expect the front-wheel-drive (FWD) to have a combined fuel economy of 26.5 mpg while the all-wheel-drive (AWD) has 25 mpg.
Alternatively, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine exists that combines with the nine-speed auto transmission. It puts out 270 horsepower and a torque value of 295 pound-feet. The turbocharged powertrain is optional for the Limited and Latitude models of the Jeep Cherokee. In addition, it has a maximum towing capacity of 4000 pounds.
Also available on higher trim levels is the powerful and reliable 3.2-liter V6 engine connected to the smooth-shifting nine-speed transmission. The powertrains release 271 horsepower at 6500 revolutions per minute and 239 pound-feet of torque. It has a maximum towing capacity of 4500 pounds.
