A Powerful Vehicle

The 2016 Cherokee is about what it does for the people it transports! You may be able to drive 500 miles on one tank of gas. The Cherokee will give you up to 31 miles per gallon (mpg) highway. The fuel tank will hold up to 15.8 gallons of the stuff that will transport you to your destination. When you do not need to have 4x4 capability with the Cherokee, you can use rear-axle disconnect to cause less energy to escape the vehicle for more fuel efficiency. The SUV offers up to 239 lb-ft of torque and 271 horsepower, and will tow up to 4,500 pounds worth of stuff. The Jeep Cherokee presents prospective purchasers with three different four-wheel drive (4WD) units: Active Drive I to cause your vehicle to perform with a power transfer unit (PTU), Active Drive II for great climbing capability, and Active Drive Lock to get excellent off-road capability. The Jeep Cherokee has a nine-speed automatic transmission, and is the only type of SUV with that. The SUV has great on-road capability, especially with its Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus that may allow you to travel straight on highways and like roads without steering. A 3.2-liter V-6 engine is available with a stop-start feature for each Sport model. Another engine you can get is the 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark I-4, which will provide up to 171 lb-ft of torque and 184 horsepower.  There is a Jeep Selec-Terrain traction control unit with five modes: Auto, Sand/Mud, Rock, Sport and Snow. The SUV provides low-range traction with its 56:1 crawl ratio.

The Composition

There are ten exterior colors available for this SUV with a ground clearance of 8.7 inches. As indicated before, the 2016 Cherokee has Siri Eyes Free, a voice command feature that allows people to text and call others, select music to listen to and perform other functions on the cell phone while keeping hands on the wheel while watching the road. Siri Eyes free works with the Apple iPhone 4s model and newer. Siri Eyes Free provides people with turn-by-turn directions as well. Do-Not Disturb is available for drivers who prefer to ignore their phone while driving, and want texters or callers to know that they're not currently available. Do-Not Disturb may be used through Cherokee's Uconnect screen, and will send calls to voicemail and automatic replies to people texting you. As also indicated above, the SUV has a Drag and Drop Menu on the touchscreen. The Drag and Drop Menu allows people to personalize the SUV's touchscreen to have one-button access to features they use most frequently, and examples of the available features may be cooled or heated seating, Yelp, and Travel Link.
