Overview

2022 Jeep Cherokee Gallery 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trims and Prices

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee has a more practical approach as compared to other compact SUVs, as it comes mixed with the rugged off-road behavior and a solid engine setup. Slotted between the bigger Grand Cherokee and the smaller Jeep Wrangler in the segment, The 2022 Cherokee has no major changes being brought about this year, apart from minor tweaks in terms of performance, ride quality, and cabin comfort. Prices for the 2022 Cherokee are expected to start from an MSRP of $28,000.



As the 2021 Cherokee was previously updated, with sleeker body lines and a more upright presence, thanks to the bigger wheels. The updated front fascia will get thinner headlamps and it will retain its signature Jeep grille. Coming to the powertrain front, there are 3 engine options on offer, a 2.4L Inline-4, a 2.0L turbo-four, and a torquey yet solid 271 hp 3.2L V6. The V6 also allows the 2022 Cherokee to sprint from 0-60 MPH in just 6.8 seconds.

Buying Advice

If you intend to buy the Jeep Cherokee for experiencing its true potential and Jeep pedigree we recommend going for the Trailhawk trim without any doubt as it packs lots of 4x4 settings and features plus the optional and more powerful V6 engine. The smaller 17-inch wheels will ensure a cushy ride quality even over forgiving terrains. With a starting price of $38,000, the Cherokee Trailhawk is loaded with features and makes complete sense.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee will retain the available powertrain options with naturally-aspirated four-cylinder and turbocharged four-cylinder engines for the Latitude trim with over 6 configurations whereas the Limited and Trailhawk trims will offer V6 engines. The Cherokee offers exceptional off-road capabilities with its rugged performance. It also offers decent fuel economy. We'll be seeing a modernized cabin with a cool display and advanced tech for dynamics and safety. The 2022 model will retain the same platform where the expected price for the base trim is around $28,000. The 2022 Jeep Cherokee will compete with the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, and the Mazda CX-5.

What is the Price of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee?

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee will for obvious reasons cost you more than the ongoing model. You will have to shell out $28,000 for the base Latitude trim with an extra 1500 to 2000 bucks for the 4WD system. The Latitude Plus ranges between $28,500 and $30,500.

Fuel Economy
4.0/10

For the 2022 model, the Jeep Cherokee will retain its powertrain, thus the fuel economy will remain similar to the previous year’s model. The base Inline-4 engine powered 2022 Cherokee will deliver 22 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the highway, and 25 MPG combined. The Inline-4 engine will offer a lower 21 MPG in the city, 29 MPG on the highway, and 24 MPG combined. The V6 will deliver more or less similar MPG to the Inline-4 except it offers a lower 22 MPG combined economy. The massive 15.8-gallon fuel tank ensures that the Cherokee has a good enough 395 miles of combined mileage.

Opt for the 4WD Trailhawk model, and the 2022 Cherokee will deliver 18 and 24 MPG in the city and highway respectively, which is reasonable considering the off-road capabilities it puts on offer. As for the rivals, the Subaru Forester is the most fuel-efficient offering out of the rest, as it delivers a combined efficiency of 29 MPG, and it also comes with a segment-best 16.6-gallon fuel tank.

Interior
7.0/10

On the road, the Cherokee is comfortable thanks to its supportive seats and smooth ride - Motortrend

The Jeep Cherokee has been amazing since it arrived in terms of interior quality and space. The cabin is big enough for five people. The 2022 Cherokee will offer premium materials and better comfort levels than the outgoing model. You will also get the latest tech and entertainment features on the new Cherokee. With the 2022 Cherokee, we will get the dedicated Latitude LUX trim with a much more luxurious interior.

The interior space in the Jeep Cherokee is sufficient for all size adults. Compared to that among the rivals Subaru Forester offers the most spacious leg space in the front row of seats but gets mediocre rear-seat space. As for the rear seat space, the 2022 Honda CR-V is better among the rivals. Coming to the cargo space the Honda CR-V offers the most 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space, followed by the Subaru Forester with 31.1 cubic feet of cargo space.

Exterior
5.0/10

The second generation of the Jeep Cherokee has never been better. The upcoming model will offer better features and advanced tech. The upcoming model will retain its glory by slaying similar body lines yet slightly different from the previous generation. The spy shots say that the design is slightly sharpened with a sleeker grille, thinner LED headlamps, and new bumpers. However, the 2022 Cherokee will not be as boxy as its successor. The compact SUV platform is the most rugged and stylish in the whole segment. It gets a rigid structure that allows it to stay intact and deliver amazing capabilities both on the road and off the road.

The off-road capability will be the top priority of Jeep as the Cherokee is known for its massive ground clearance and the new one will walk on the same path. The adjustable suspension will enhance its capabilities in all types of challenging terrains. The leaked images show a wider body stance and better height. The 2020 Jeep Cherokee is rumored to get bigger wheels to become more capable. We have 18-inch standard and 19-inch optional alloy wheels as well.

The dimension of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee is expected to be mostly the same as the outgoing model. As for the rivals except for the Mazda CX-5, all the others have the almost same length. While Mazda CX-5 is 2-inches shorter in length compared to the Cherokee. As for the wheelbase the Jeep Cherokee has the longest 106.5-inches followed by Mazda CX-5 with an almost similar wheelbase.

Safety
5.0/10

The 2021 Jeep Cherokee used steel and magnesium to provide durability to the structure by keeping the weight on the lower side. The unibody structure comprises 60% high-strength steel that will keep it in good shape for longer. As it sits on the FCA Compact SUV platform, the Cherokee has rigid underpinnings. The safety features in the 2022 Cherokee vary according to the trims whereas the top trims offer the latest and most advanced safety tech. The 2022 Jeep Cherokee hasn’t been crash-tested so we will take the 2021 Cherokee’s data to give you an idea. The 2021 Cherokee was tested by the NHTSA where it scored overall four out of five-star ratings. However, the IIHS ratings tell another story as it scored an overall ‘Good’ rating in all the parameters and the front crash prevention is rated superior. The Cherokee will carry the same safety standards for 2022 MY.

Highlights of the safety ratings of the 2022 Jeep Cherokee include:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Rear Cross-Path detection
  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Lane departure warning
  • Forward Collision warning
  • Active Lane Assist
  • Driveline Traction Control

Competition
8.0/10

2022 Jeep Cherokee vs 2022 Subaru Forester

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee will be a very unique offering in the segment. It offers a mix of both power and off-road capabilities with a hint of a modern daily-driven SUV. The Subaru Forester is a worthy rival with similar performance but better practicality and space. That said, with the Jeep Cherokee you get robust performance whereas the Forester is more of an outdoor touring vehicle.

2022 Jeep Cherokee vs 2022 Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V gives direct competition to Jeep Cherokee as it offers better performance and also outright practicality, fuel economy, and reliability. But when it comes to off-roading the Jeep Cherokee aces this test, which can’t be said about the Honda CR-V. Still, both the cars enjoy separate demand in the market as both of them are unique in their way. With the 2022 model, the Cherokee can now compete better against the feature-rich Honda CR-V. While the CR-V offers a great value for money, Cherokee has a huge line-up of capable trim levels and multiple engine options.

Final Verdict

The Cherokee is one of the best-selling compact SUVs in the Jeep marque. With its second generation, it has gotten much better with better design and new optional features. The vehicle is updated with new styling and modern exterior accents. Yet it looks classy as ever. The 2022 Jeep Cherokee is focused on better quality and safety. The performance quotient and off-road capabilities have been unmatchable. With advanced tech inside, it is no less than the Grand Cherokee. The available optional features make it much better and competitive in comparison to its rivals. This nameplate has certainly survived for so long without losing its charm.
