2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

The 2015 Cherokee is Jeep's compact crossover, slotting between the Renegade and Grand Cherokee with a choice of front- or four-wheel drive. It squares off against the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4, offering more off-road capability than most. The Cherokee handles confidently, with responsive steering and a ride that stays composed on pavement and dirt alike. Its cabin offers generous storage and a spacious feel for its size, with a rear seat that folds for longer loads. Stepping up to the Trailhawk from the Latitude adds serious off-road hardware: a locking rear differential, raised suspension, and skid plates for genuine trail capability. With the optional 3.2L I6 and nine-speed automatic, this Cherokee pulls strongly from a stop and returns 22 mpg combined in mixed driving. The Trailhawk's Selec-Terrain system includes a Rock mode, and the red tow hooks front and rear are ready to pull you or a buddy out of a tight spot.
