2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited

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. The Limited is the luxury-focused Cherokee, giving up the Trailhawk's off-road hardware for leather seats, heated front seats and steering wheel, and polished 18-inch wheels. The standard 3.2L I6 and nine-speed automatic deliver smooth, relaxed power for daily driving, with the four-wheel-drive system ready for snow or light trails. The Limited's Nappa leather and heated steering wheel make cold mornings more bearable, but the nine-speed can feel hesitant in stop-and-go traffic.
