  2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By usafss - May 10 - 9:22 am

  Finally the transmission is fixed. The 2016 transmissions are smooth as silk with no hesitation at all. I had a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that I traded in for the 2016 and am glad I did. To all who were wondering about the transmissions. They are working great with no issues.

  Jeep Cherokee - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By Shari - October 16 - 10:08 am

  Just bought this Jeep Cherokee five days ago. I wasnt really looking to buy a SUV. My husband talked me into taking it for a test drive. When I came back with it I really liked it. I havent gotten a new car in some time. Drove real smooth, and it didnt even feel like a 4 cycle. The in side is real nice. I cant believe I went to a two door car to a SUV, that is how much I liked it..There are a few things I would of liked it to have on it. A sun roof, tinted windows, and the sound of the radio I wish it was a little louder, the volume isnt that high. I planning on keeping this for some time..I never thought I would be driving a SUV, when all the kids are gone and its just me....

  Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2L - The dream SUV - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By Gene W. - June 4 - 11:53 pm

  I have owned Jeeps for 45 years....CJ-5, CJ-7s (1975-2008), JK Wranglers (2), etc, In Sep 2015 I bought a new 2016 Cherokee Latitude 3.2L for my wife but wound up driving it myself and selling my JK manual - were getting older now and needed a Jeep that is more comfortable - she opted to keep her little car.. But there was something vaguely not quite right with the Latitude. It had no tow points (had to hook a tow rope to the suspension to pull a car out of the snow)..it didnt seem like a Jeep; it sat a little lower (though it had 18" low profile tires). It was more a sports car with Jeep characteristics. I was afraid to take it onto the beach - wasnt sure of the tires and with no tow points I had my doubts. So after just 5,000 miles and 7 months I went back to Jeep and test drove another Wrangler, both the JK and JKU. Though Id had the equivalent since 1975, this time it just didnt work - I just didnt want to go back. So, I wound up buying a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2L with every option available including tow package, full sun roof, leather with ventilated seats, sound group, etc. The tow package was key but the way the car sat, the ground clearance, the tires, everything was just balanced and perfect - a stunning Jeep; what a difference something as simple as 2" of ground clearance and 245 tires will make. This is the SUV Ive been looking for for the last 5 years ever since my wife of 36 years first complained about being jolted around in the JK Wrangler. It will do everything I want it to do including rock crawl (I installed Rock Rails just in case I go to Moab though theyre unlikely to be used). It rides, handles, stops, crawls, goes through snow, sand, mud, handles interstates beautifully. It has a beast of an 3.2 6 cal engine that makes it run like a mini-Porsche Carrera. This Jeep will be with me for many many years.

  This is our second one - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By Louis Klipper - June 3 - 6:08 am

  We purchased our first Trailhawk when they were introduced in 2014. We traded in our Audi to purchase this Jeep, the first American car we have owned in the past 20 years. (We have been driving Mercedes, BMW and Audis) We needed a comfortable SUV that was capable of towing my 3,000 lbs enclosed motorcycle trailer from our home in New England to our home in Florida a few times a year. Most of the German built mid sized SUVs had a max tow rating of 3,000 lbs, not enough safety margin for the distance we were traveling. The Cherokee Trailhawk with the V6 and factory installed tow package was rated @ 4,500 lbs. The capability, comfort, technology and quality was all rolled into a unique package that really impressed me. I was not expecting to like this vehicle as much as I did. The Cherokee never gave us any problems, and service was limited to oil changes and tire rotations. We never had any issues with the 9 speed transmission. With the miles piling up on our 2014 Cherokee we decided to trade it in on a 2016. Before purchasing, we thought that we needed to test drive a Land Rover Discovery HSE and the new Mercedes GLC, to experience these two new models. After living with and driving the Jeep Trailhawk for 2 years I felt that the Mercedes and Land Rover were not worth the consideration over the Trailhawk. Now that Ive put a few thousand miles on our 2016 Trailhawk Ive noticed a few things different from our old 2014. The ride is more refined, and the 9 speed transmission is silky smooth. The technology keeps getting better, and the U Connect system is the most user friendly system I have used in any vehicle, no matter the price. The doors close with a solid sounding thunk, reminding me of some of Mercedes we have owned.

  Great Midsize SUV at an affordable price. - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By Nick - November 1 - 9:25 pm

  Extremely comfortable drive, love the seats and all interior features. I am 64" 220 and feel very comfortable driving in it for long periods of time. We love taking it on road trips. If you dont need the V6 or 4X4 you can make a super economical purchase. If you do go with the 4X4, is the same 4 wheel drive system as a wrangler, and helps the resale value, and a lot better to take off road than most other mid size SUV 4X4. 4 other Jeeps have been in our family, we love them. If youre not into Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Mazda, etc. This is def an affordable option to explore.

  Perfect size - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By Tamie Gangl - August 13 - 2:46 pm

  I test drove many cars and then I test drove the Jeep Cherokee. It handles the road nicely, and I did not hear the road noise that I heard while driving the Nissan Rouge.

  AWSOME TRAILHAWK V6 - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By Malik - May 10 - 9:59 pm

  I bought the 2016 jeep cherokee trailhawk with the V6 engine fully loaded with every package available. Great performance overall. The v6 to me is just right for the SUV. When you need the power its able to put it down well. The interior feels high class. Like I said I bought the vehicle fully loaded including the panoramic sunroof. It has been a great year so far. Maybe the fuel economy can slightly improve but other than that Im not complaining. Really nice and refined suv for its class overall.

  Very nice vehicle - 2016 Jeep Cherokee
  By John M. - May 3 - 3:48 am

  We have had this 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2-4L fwd for about a month now and have already put 1800 very pleasant miles on it, through a combination of mountain, freeway and city driving. In all conditions it handled very nicely. Going uphill was never an issue. Its power was more than enough to help us up the hills at a nice pace, and its handling made it unnecessary to use the brakes except on the sharpest turns. On the freeway, there was no trouble merging at the right speed. Acceleration was always just right. Very smooth ride, even at highway speeds, and also very quite. Interior is great.High quality materials made it feel almost luxurious. Very comfortable seating for 5. Plenty of leg and headroom. We really like the front grille and the daylight running lights too. I was really pleasantly surprised and would recommend it to everyone. If you dont need 4wd, the 2.4L is really great, and along with the 9 speed transmission it provides a smooth very quick way to arrive at your destination, relaxed and refreshed, no matter how long the journey.
