2023 Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux

The Jeep Cherokee is the brand's compact SUV, a step up from the Renegade and a more affordable alternative to the Grand Cherokee. On the road, the Cherokee feels composed and steady, with a ride that's comfortable for daily driving. The Trailhawk trim brings serious off-road chops with its raised suspension and skid plates, so it's ready for trails the others can't handle. Inside, the cabin is roomy for the class, with supportive seats and a straightforward layout that's easy to live with. Stepping up from the base Latitude gets you the Altitude Lux's gloss-black exterior accents, LED lighting all around, a dual-pane sunroof, and a power liftgate. The 2.4L I4 makes 180 horsepower and works with the nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which is enough for daily driving but feels a bit strained on steep grades. You get the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen with navigation and wireless charging as standard on this trim, so you don't have to hunt for options.
