Decisions, Decisions, Gas Mileage Decisions

While the Jeep Cherokee is an all-around fuel-efficient vehicle, your MPG will vary depending on a few choices. First, there are three engines to consider: the 2.0L Turbo engine, 2.4L Tigershark® Multiair®2 engine, and the 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine.

The other factor affecting your Cherokee MPG will be whether you choose the forward-wheel drive, 4x4, or 4x4 Active Drive II configuration. Let’s break it down.

2.0L Turbo Engine

The 2.0L Turbo engine in its forward-wheel drive configuration will grant you the best fuel economy, boasting an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway/26 combined MPG. Meanwhile, the 4x4 configuration offers an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway/24 combined MPG. Further, with the Active Drive II configuration, you can expect an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway/23 combined MPG.

Outside of fuel economy, this engine also provides 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, which is the most torque output of the three engine choices. Want to bring along a canoe to explore the lake? Go ahead—this engine provides a maximum towing capacity of 4,000 pounds when properly equipped.

2.4L Tigershark® Multiair® 2 Engine

Next is the 2.4L Tigershark® Multiair® 2 engine, which is only available in the forward-wheel drive and 4x4 configuration. In forward-wheel drive, you can expect an EPA-estimated 22 city/31 highway/25 combined MPG, while the 4x4 configuration delivers an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway/24 combined MPG.

With 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque, this engine provides up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, great for attaching a small camper for when you want to get away.

3.2L Pentastar® V6 Engine

The third engine choice is the 3.2L Pentastar® V6 engine, which again comes in forward-wheel drive, 4x4, and Active Drive II configurations. In forward-wheel drive, you can expect an EPA-estimated 20 city/29 highway/23 combined MPG. Meanwhile, the 4x4 configuration provides an EPA-estimated 19 city/27 highway/22 combined MPG, and Active Drive II delivers an EPA-estimated 18 city/26 highway/21 combined MPG.

To help increase efficiency, this engine uses a sophisticated control strategy that turns the engine off when coming to a full stop, so you can get the most out of your stops at the pump. In terms of power, this engine offers 271 horsepower, 239 lb-ft of torque, and the highest towing capacity of the three engines at 4,500 pounds when properly equipped.
