2018 Jeep Cherokee update revealed

The upgraded 2018 Jeep Cherokee has been revealed for the US market, bringing new active safety technologies and increased equipment levels across the range.


For the new model-year, the American medium SUV is now available with technologies like blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert on higher grades.

New to the line-up is the entry-level Latitude, which comes as standard with 17-inch alloys, HID headlights, fog-lights, rear-view camera, along with body-coloured mirrors and door handles.

There's also a new Latitude Plus grade, which adds highlights like the 8.4-inch Uconnect colour touchscreen infotainment system, keyless entry and start, leather seat inserts, leather multifunction steering wheel, eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with four-way lumbar support, ambient lighting, 115V AC outlet in the second row, and different 17-inch alloy wheels over the base model.

Higher up in the range, the off-road focused Trailhawk and the comfort-oriented Limited trims get blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and 'ParkSense' rear backup warning.

The Trailhawk in the US also gains dual-zone climate control, while the Limited adds a power tailgate.

The American range continues with just two powertrain options: a 130kW/229Nm 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol and a 200kW/315Nm 3.2-litre naturally-aspirated V6 - the latter now standard with idle stop/start technology.

All versions come equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission and the choice of front- and all-wheel drive.
