2022 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux

The 2022 Cherokee slots between the Compass and Grand Cherokee, offering a more car-like alternative to Jeep's traditional body-on-frame models. It competes with compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape, but brings genuine off-road credibility to the segment. The Cherokee handles confidently on pavement, with composed steering and a ride that filters out most bumps, though the sportier trims feel firmer. Inside, the cabin is quiet and well-built, with comfortable seats and a user-friendly infotainment system, plus generous cargo space for weekend gear. The Latitude Lux sits above the base Sport and X trims, adding leather seats, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel that make it feel more upscale for the daily commute. Its 3.2L V6 makes 271 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, delivering strong highway passing power while returning 22 mpg combined. The Latitude Lux comes with Jeep's Active Drive I four-wheel-drive system and Selec-Terrain traction modes, so it handles snow and light trails better than most compact SUVs.
