2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux

The 2021 Cherokee slots between the Renegade and Grand Cherokee as a compact SUV with genuine off-road credentials. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape in the crowded compact crossover segment. The Cherokee rides smoothly on the highway, and the available V6 gives it confident passing power. Inside, you get a comfortable cabin with supportive seats, and the available panoramic sunroof brightens things up. Reliability is a mixed bag, with some owners reporting oil consumption and electrical gremlins, though many have trouble-free miles. The Latitude Lux sits between the Latitude Plus and the Limited, adding leather seats and the 3.2L V6 as standard equipment. Its 3.2L V6 makes 271 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, returning 22 mpg combined. This trim's Selec-Terrain system gives you up to five drive modes on 4x4 models, including Sand and Mud.
