2019 Jeep Cherokee Specs

There are three capable powertrains available for the 2019 Jeep Cherokee. Each one works with a versatile 9-speed automatic transmission that delivers precise shifting on any terrain. 

The first option is a 2.4L MultiAir®2 Tigershark I-4 engine that gets up to 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. The next step up from there is a 2.0L Turbo I-4 that features an exciting 270 horsepower and an impressive 295 lb-ft of torque. The strongest engine is a 3.2L Pentastar® V6. It provides you with up to 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. 

The Pentastar® powertrain is also your best bet for hauling extra cargo. It can easily bring your trailer, ATVs, or a boat along for the ride with its best-in-class towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds.  

2019 Jeep Cherokee Interior Dimensions

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee interior features seating for up to five people with a choice between comfortable cloth, sleek vinyl, or refined leather seats. Behind the cabin there’s plenty of space in the trunk, plus an available hands-free power liftgate that makes loading up easy. When you need to make extra space, the 60/40 split folding rear seats can help you get more than double the cargo room.

2019 Jeep Cherokee Capability

While it delivers a smooth and comfortable ride on city streets, the 2019 Jeep Cherokee is just as capable of off-roading as ever. There are three versatile 4x4 systems to choose from: Jeep Active Drive I, Active Drive II, and Active Drive Lock. Each one is designed to maintain traction whether you’re driving through a storm or taking on some trails. 

With all the 4x4 systems, the Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System can help you further prepare. It features five selectable driving modes that you can switch between to match the terrain you’re on. The five modes include:

• Auto
• Snow
• Sport
• Sand/Mud
• Rock

You can feel just as confident driving over obstacles in your path like ditches, debris, and streams, too. The Jeep Cherokee SUV can be configured to ride high with a ground clearance of 8.7 inches. That allows you to take on hills with a 28.8-degree approach angle and drive through water that’s up to 20 inches deep.
