Cherokee's standard 3.7 V6 engine produces a robust 205 hp and 314 N•m of torque at 4000 rpm, for a generous dose of power at the engine's low end that provides more pull when the going gets tough.
Cherokee can tow up to 2,800 kilograms when properly equipped. The advanced four-speed transmission uses fully adaptive electronic control for exceptionally smooth shifting. Push the TOW / HAUL button next to the shifter for improved vehicle performance and fuel economy while minimizing engine noise during trailer towing or heavy-load hauling.

Put it in 4WD AUTO mode. The next-generation Selec-Trac® II 4WD, with its two-speed, active “on-demand” four-wheel drive transfer case, can be engaged all the time, even on smooth dry pavement.
Hill Descent Control with grade sensing allows a smooth and controlled hill descent on rough or slippery terrain without the driver needing to touch the brake pedal. This system applies the brakes to each wheel individually when needed to reduce forward motion while negotiating down steep grades.

During extreme steering maneuvers the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system helps maintain control by sensing when the vehicle is starting to over- or understeer. ESP automatically applies individual brakes or controls the throttle to help you stay safely on course. When you don’t want the extra hand, ESP is specially tuned for performance handling so you can switch it off. Not all roads are paved or smooth. Cherokee’s four-wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS) has a unique rough road detection system that has a special program to assist Cherokee’s stopping performance on gravel or dirt roads. Drive with confidence. Cherokee’s all-speed traction control system uses sensors to monitor wheel spin, reducing engine speed, applying the brakes to spinning wheels, and transferring torque to the appropriate wheel when slippage is detected. In a panic brake condition, Cherokee’s brake assist system applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance. Anticipating the need for additional traction, either of Cherokee's four-wheel drive systems automatically responds to wheel slippage by transferring power equally to both the front and rear wheels, improving vehicle stability.
Crumple zones are designed to compress during an accident to absorb energy from an impact, decreasing transfer of that energy to the occupants. Cherokee uses high-strength alloy steel for added energy absorption.
