Dependability, Thy Name is Jeep

For years, Jeep has gone out of their way to re-define what is possible from a crossover midsize SUV, which is why a used Jeep Cherokee is absolutely one of the smartest decisions that you can make with your hard-earned money. While it's absolutely true that the Cherokee itself was classified as an SUV until 2013, it was then that the fifth-generation Cherokee made its debut with a stunning unibody construction base on a car platform. Between the raw power, the safety features and the massive amount of technology that supports it, a used Jeep Cherokee is more than worth your attention in a variety of ways.

The Performance You Need When You Need it the Most

Regardless of the trim level you select, all recent Jeep Cherokee models (particularly those that debuted in 2018) come with a nine-speed automatic transmissions. A 2.4L four-cylinder engine capable of 184 horsepower came standard in recent years, although you could also upgrade that to a 3.2L V6 engine capable of 171 horsepower if that was more to your liking.

Over the last few years, two-wheel drive has been a standard feature on all but the highest trim level. The 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, for example, had four-wheel drive as a standard inclusion.

Technology to Spare

Over the last few years in particular, Jeep has also placed a heavy emphasis on the technology at the heart of its Cherokee line. Users could upgrade to a Tech Connect package in 2018, for example, which included Uconnect® functionality and even came with Amazon Alexa^® support and an Amazon Echo Dot^® device.

Using that Amazon Echo dot and the accompanying Alexa® meant that you could use your voice to:

• Remotely start and stop your engine.
• Lock and unlock all of your doors.
• Send commands directly to any NAV-equipped models you happen to own.
• Monitor the vitals of your Jeep Cherokee.

Because Safety is Important to Jeep, Too

As is true with so many other vehicles on the road today, a used Jeep Cherokee comes with a number of different enhancements to create not only a comfortable drive, but an incredibly safe one, too.

Base models of the Jeep Cherokee over the last few years have come with antilock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control and similar features as standard inclusions. Also among this list are hill-start assist functionality, keyless entry, a rearview backup camera and even trailer sway control to help guarantee you can always haul a trailer as safely as possible.

Upgrading to a higher trim level gets you additional safety-related features, including but not limited to ones like:

• Advanced blind-spot monitoring
• Rear cross path detection
• A rear backup warning system
• Advanced brake assistance
• Full-speed forward collision warning with crash mitigation
• LaneSense^® lane departure warning
• Adaptive cruise control with stop and go technology
• Parallel and perpendicular parking assistance

Note that higher trim levels also include features like exterior mirrors with courtesy lights and turn signal indicators, automatic headlamp high-beam controls and more.

All the Convenience You've Ever Wanted

Last but not least, we arrive at convenience-related features — something that anyone looking for a used Jeep Cherokee is no doubt concerned about.

While these features obviously vary wildly depending on the year and trim package you choose, they all manage to impress in their own unique ways. The 2018 Jeep Cherokee Overland, for example, came with both a driver and a front passenger heated cushion, heated seat back and heated front seats. That particular trim level also came with leather seats, driver and passenger lumbar support and more. Many of the trim levels also came with an onboard navigation system, allowing you to use either Jeep's technology to safely get where you need to go or an app on a smartphone connected via Bluetooth^®.
