Jeep brought the Cherokee nameplate back in 2014 along with a controversial face. The 2019 Cherokee now wears a family grille that's closer to the ones on Grand Cherokee and Compass. Tom Voelk travels to Southern California to drive the 2019 Trailhawk and Limited models with Jeep’s powerful new engine, a 2-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder.

I love how you do better reviews than Car & Driver, MotorTrend, etc. They're perfect length videos, not too long, not too short. Perfect as always!

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

My apologies to Brian (not Brain) Nielander for the typo in the video. I'll argue he's smart enough so that the spelling gaffe isn't really a mistake. If I uploaded the corrected version, all of your witty comments would disappear.

It’s okay, Tom. Sometimes when you don’t have the spellcheck when both “Brian” and “Brain” are spelled correctly. To quote the sidekick of a ‘90s cartoon, “Narf!”

Great review Tom. Thanks for all you do! I have owned two Jeep Cherokee's, both were 2014 models with the 2.3 L V-6 Pentastar engines. Both were very capable, and dependable. First one was purchased new, second one was purchased as a repo, that had ALL the extra equipment in it.

I would say Tom is one of, if not the best automotive journalists out there, Always a pleasure to watch his reviews.Calm, informative, no screaming over-exuberance! (God knows why I watch his reviews as I am on a different continent, and most of the vehicles are notavailable here to buy, and I could not afford to buy any of them anyway (If i can't pay cash, I do without) :). Regardless, thanks for the great content.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

It's a well done rig, more expensive than many in this segment but it's also built for more off road prowess. My drive partner from Seeking Alfa really enjoyed the new engine. We both agreed it transforms the Cherokee, especially from the standard 2.4-liter four. I like the growl from the V6 better though. No shrimp or champagne. All meals were nice buffets and there was a coffee stop during the on-road drive route at The Coffee Bean (which frankly, made the worst mocha I've ever had). It's pretty much what a corporate retreat would offer at a nice hotel. I would be happy to stay at a Motel 6 and eat fast food if I had the same access to the cars and personnel. For me that's what I enjoy. I must have talked to Mike Downey the Vehicle Line Executive for three hours about what into the vehicle and why they did it. I'm a nerd that way.

As a '17 Trailhawk owner, i took her out on the trails stock with a bunch of wranglers...she impressed the crap out of me and most of the wranglers. I'll eventually lift and and do bigger tires, but i'll be taking her on the trails stock for a while. Not a fan of the new front end of the '19 though. Road noise with the A/T tires is actually barely noticeable imho, much quieter than my brothers xterra. Pavement handling is great, and on road trips i get ~25mpg. My only regret...didn't get the sunroof...

@ryaninanoria9533 5 лет назад

You think they have long travel suspension available for trailhawk. Cause I think . This thing can go anywhere with longer suspension Travel for articulation, and beefier tires . Maybe just 1.5 lift nothin crazy

@staciecarverd8136 Год назад

We owned 2 2016 AWD Sport models with the 2.4L engine. One of my favorite vehicles, and so much so we just purchased another, this time a used V6 Limited, to replace a different vehicle that was just totaled by someone running a red light. Thinking of trading my Ram 1500 in for another as these were the best vehicles for Western NY winters and(IMO) one of the best handling CUVs on the market. The 2.4L was also great on gas traveling at highway speeds. I easily averaged 28 MPG on my 30 mile commute and reached as high as 32 MPG on a drive through the hilly areas of the state on over-sized all terrain tires. Equipped with the cold weather package it was a hard to beat value.

Tom V., you state your review of autos remains unbiased, however, after doing this for so many years, have you not developed a strong affinity for a particular pack brand of softness and absorbency? is charmin or georgia-pacific paying you under the table? where is your full disclosure about that? :)

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Ah, those are serious accusations sir, one that could upend the bath tissue industry. Early on I chose Kirkland because I figured Costco wold always carry it (whereas other brands could be rotated). I needed a constant metric, plain and simple. I didn't consider that the bundle size would change though (they got slightly larger about 10 years ago). That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Did you try driving at night? Im curious to see how the factory LEDs perform compared to the halogens in the 2014s. Also, i see that you mentioned towing capacity but didnt see a hitch, is that an extra package youd have to buy for extra for the trailhawk?

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

I drove at dusk but it wasn't enough to tell. I'll assume they are better. Brian said the LED lights have an advantage over the outgoing versions because they are mounted higher so they could be aimed more optimally. Optional on all models, the tow package is only available for the 2L turbo and V6 engines.

Does the rear hatch have a height adjustment now so you can open the hatch in the garage?

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Didn't know. Usually it's done by putting the tailgate in the position wanted then holding down the button for five seconds or so until it beeps. Go give it a try and let me know.

@AStanton1966 6 лет назад

We have a 2017 Cherokee TH: there is no adjustment. With the remote hatch: you let it rip potato chip.

@nickr3441 6 лет назад

What does the Overland have that the Trailhawk doesn't?

@BrendanMacWade 5 лет назад

Heated rear seats, mainly. Also a leather wrapped dashboard. I think the Limited is a better value for a road-going model. The Trailhawk is best if you will be off-roading and want a quieter, smaller vehicle than a 4Runner or Wrangler.

@70xr7Cougar Год назад

Curious how good off road the cherokee limited is? (not for rock climbing but weekend camping in nature, still good or not?)

All depends on the terrain. But for most camping, Limited on forest service roads should be plenty good.

@DrivenCarReviews 3 года назад

There's been chatter about hard shifts, lurching, and a wiring harness issue that can cause sudden shutdowns. It's REALLY hard to nail things like this down, to find out how common they are. But start your search from there.

@AStanton1966 8 месяцев назад

We had a 2017 Cherokee Traillhawk with the 3.2 V-6. We traded it for a new 2023 Grand Cherokee L Limited trim. However we couldn't stand the new Uconnect 5. In fact JD Power just lowered their ratings for the Dodge Ram due to that new Uconnect5. We traded the Grand L back in for a new 2023 Cherokee Trailhawk with the 2.0 turbo and good old Uconnect4. On the highway we are getting 28 mpg! I always hated the oil filter system on that V-6 with the cartridge. The turbo has a conventional spin on filter. Only negative on the 3.2 the oil filter/cooling housing is plastic and cracked at about 70,000 miles. We lost 5 quarts of oil going down the road before the engine light came on. Watch those plastic housings like a hawk!

@mwcleaning 6 лет назад

Great review. As I would normally jump right into a Trailhawk, I will certainly take a serious look at the (city slicker) Limited- turbo 4 based on your review. The rear storage for camping gear..... or groceries... struck a cord.

@ivanlowjones 6 лет назад

Tom, how many people realistically "stash" their skis inside a crossover these days? I think the 60/40 second row split works well for most buyers.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

I do it all the time when I go skiing in my Volvo. No wind noise from a roof rack and my bindings stay clean and grit free. When I was bring my son and his friends it worked great. Also, boards and skis are harder to steal from inside the car. For a friend of mine, 40/20/40 was a deal breaker. I use the example to point out what I think would make the car a better vehicle. Not everyone is going to need that feature but for some it would improve the usability.

Guys just a simple question, The trailhawk is really good for offroading but how is it on road? Is it comfortable or is the limited a better option for daily drivers???

@DrivenCarReviews 5 лет назад

The Trailhawk will not be as comfortable on a day to day basis due to tires and suspension settings. It's not a huge difference but it's noticeable.

@lesterg3330 6 лет назад

KL Overland yeah I've seen alot of your vids. Good stuff! Personally I don't like that they made it look like the Grand C. I get that alot of people don't like it but then again alot of people don't like the Wrangler. So why listen to people who most likely will not buy it anyway? It was Jeeps number one seller for over a year and you change the look? I bought a 2016 trailhawk and have no intention of "upgrading" if it just looks like every other model.

@1500Overland 6 лет назад

Thanks! I think I'm going to be getting the new 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel when it comes out here in the next three or four months. I never liked the design of my Trailhawk, I bought it because I fell in love with the interior and was only considering vehicles with a rear locking diff. FCA is doing an amazing job with their interiors, and now that they listened to the public and added that rear locking diff, I'm sold. I just wish FCA made an offroad worthy truck halfway in size between the Wrangler and the Ram 1500.

@kspspaceadventures8676 6 лет назад

Huh? What does that have to do with anything? You said in the video you wonder who actually takes their Trailhawks offroad. He said he is one of the people who does. What does that have to do with a lifted Datsun? I mean people put monster lifts on Chevy Caprices, doesn't make them offroadable.

@lesterg3330 6 лет назад

KL Overland locking diff got me too. I'm fine with the way it looks. Especially when you do it up like yours. Gonna do the lift and tires at some point. I agree the interior is great but it was the off road ability that sold me. Cool bro can't wait to see your vids in the future. Wait if you switch to the RAM, are you gonna change your title?

Much improved, not as much cargo capacity as I'd want but a nice option to a Rav 4 or CRV. Just to show the Buick wagon has 70 cubes vs high 50's in the Cherokee and similar vehicles. I don't think many people understand the cargo capacity is not that great in the smaller CUV's.

" I wouldn't do this in a CRV or Rav-4 " Jeeps officials - " Hey don't do this in a non trailhawk jeep " Oh the irony.

@atmartens 6 лет назад

Toyota4Life hahaha. I thought that was funny as well. The only thing is that there isn't any CRV or RAV4 package you could get to do that kind of off-roading. I would love to see a Forester tackle this course though.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Some backstory here- Talking to the Jeep Jamboree crew that built the course, FCA asked them to increase the difficulty from the original version they created to show off the extra ground clearance, 4WD system and increased approach and departure angles of the Trailhawk. Video doesn't show how steep the grades are or the size of the rocks well. It was a very challenging drive that CR-V, RAV4 and others simply can't tackle. A Jeep engineer said a standard Cherokee with Active Drive II could probably have made it with upgraded tires but they didn't want to risk scuffed fascias or pranged undercarriages because of the lower ground clearance. Other crossovers in this segment have fine attributes, but Jeep owns it when it comes to off roading. As I always suggest, buy what you need.

@Toyota4Life 6 лет назад

alex martens I agree also lol. The rav 4 adventure grade would do okay off road

@lesterg3330 6 лет назад

Bruno TaTa air suspension. The GC can alter it's height and make it's center of gravity lower. Ask off roaders though if air suspension is good off road and most will say that's it's just one more thing to worry about.

Why the hell is the turbo four only a $500 premium in the Cherokee, and in the Wrangler it’s a $2000 premium?

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

In Cherokee it's a $500 premium over the V6 which costs $1,745 in most Cherokees (Overland 4x4 and Trailhawk come standard with the V6. For the rest the standard engine is the 2.4-liter non-turbo four). The Wrangler's standard engine is the V6 and its turbo four-cylinder gets a mild hybrid system that Cherokee doesn't get because of packaging constraints. .

@NemeanLion- 6 лет назад

I forgot about that mild hybrid system. Thank you. Very helpful answer.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

@babasan5411 6 лет назад

Nice review, Tom. I rented a V6 Trailhawk for a 5 hour round trip and thought the vehicle looked sharp, except for that weird front end. However, I thought the engine was a bit weak. I actually thought it was a turbo four at first and was impressed with the grunt but when I found out it was actually a V6, I got disappointed. The highway ride was not comfortable. The off road suspension was bouncy and steering and vehicle were wondering around at highway speeds. I hope the new model has improved on road feel. It does look nicer, although the rear end reminds me of a Mitsubishi Outlander circa 2006/7 model year.

I have the 2016 and agree with you. Why make the whole line up look like the Grand Cherokee? Why not just buy the GC? I have no idea why they would this if it's been selling so well.

Exactly

It's funny that you call the 2019 model "soft", all the new Jeeps are "soft" other than Wrangler. No solid axles and terrible 4WD systems? I'll keep my 2003 WJ with the 4.0 I6, NP242 t-case, and Dana solid axles. Heated steering wheel or otherwise. They can keep all that crappy computer controlled 4WD to themselves too.

I envy the Americans! In Russia: Sport - from 34000$ Longitude - from 40000$ Limited - from 45600$ Trailhawk - from 46500$ Overland - from 50750$

Fantastic video. The new turbo might have the lowest CO2 emissions of any Jeep ever. Government numbers coming soon.

Curious how it would stack up against the Wrangler that adds e-assist.

Hey the XJs, ZJs, and WJz had them back in the 2000s.

If jeep would still build the classic cherokee and make it affordable , no frills, just solid , square and badass, they would sell millions. Nothing built today can equal the offlroad performance of the classic cherokee, these new cherokee's cost too much, aren't as capable and have too many electronics. Jeep has lost its way, it used to be the everymans 4x4, now its all marketing.

The new front end looks horribleee🤢 just like a clone of all the other suv crossovers. The previous model front end is much better, looks way cooler and sets it apart from all the other vehicles.

So how can you call this trail rated when you can not even get a real trail tire for it? Don't get much response from jeep. they just say we will void your warranty if you put a bigger tire on it. 1500 miles on my 2018 trailhawk and I am ready to get rid of it. This CAR is for trail rides.......Paved bicycle trails.

I rented a Limited with the normally aspirated 4. I’m not sure why it is okay to offer that power train. It’s shit. You are only as good as your worst model.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

I actually talked about rentals with some of the FCA folks. The versions that make it to the rental fleets are egregiously bad. That's what wealthy people who can afford to travel (and buy cars) are exposed to. Practically drives them from the brand.

@AStanton1966 6 лет назад

You are correct. We bought a 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk and even the salesman recommended the V-6. Go big or go back.
