Overview
The Cherokee Limited hits that sweet spot between a midsize and a compact SUV. It delivers room for kids and cargo while maintaining the heritage and styling of Jeep. Plus, it combines a luxury feel with off-road capabilities—even if the wildest place you go is the playground after school.

New for 2019, Cherokee Limited sports an updated front fascia and hood, with premium LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, fog lights, and an update to the classic Jeep grille.
Based on average prices at carmax.com as of February 19, the average price of a 2019 Cherokee Limited at CarMax is around $25,000.* The Jeep Cherokee has also maintained a solid reputation for reliability for years. In fact, in 2019 RepairPal® gave the Jeep Cherokee a 4 out of 5 reliability rating, putting it in the top 10 for dependability among compact SUVs**.

The Ride
This Cherokee Limited is powered by a 2.4-liter, turbo charged, four-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower and gets an EPA-estimated 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway†. The center console features an 8.4-inch Uconnect® display with built-in navigation, touchscreen climate control, and is Apple CarPlay® and Android Audio™ compatible for your mobile devices.

This Cherokee rides high for good visibility and has a smooth, car-like ride, handling nicely in the city. The Limited comes standard with the ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera and ParkView® Rear Park Assist as well as Electronic Stability Control technology to help maintain control during extreme steering maneuvers.

Cargo Space

Open the standard power liftgate and you can expect to find a modest 24.6 cubic feet of storage and a total of 54.9 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. But Jeep makes the most of this space by offering, tie-down rings for larger items, hooks for grocery bags, and a flexibility cargo floor that can be adjusted to capture additional cargo height for taller objects.
