The 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited is the brain child of chief designer Mark Allen

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited is the brain child of chief designer Mark Allen. He followed one basic philosophy when designing this new crossover vehicle that replaces the Cherokee XJ, “To pay homage to Jeep’s heritage and visually convey that this is an all-new Jeep, while still communicating legendary best-in-class capability.” Mr. Allen later refined this statement to read, “We couldn’t make it look like a box.”

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited comes in with a starting MSRP of $29,995. It has an available 3.2-liter V6 engine with all-wheel drive (AWD), and a 9-speed automatic. Its output is 271-horsepower at 6,500 rpm, 239 pound-feet at 4,400 rpm. It has a curb weight of 4,044 lb. and fuel economy of 19 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway. The model tested by Jake Lingeman also had customer options that included parallel and perpendicular park assist, blind spot and cross path detection, forward collision warning with crash mitigation, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, advanced brake assist, rain sensitive windshield wipers, automatic high beam headlamp control, premium leather-trimmed bucket seats, power liftgate, and HD radio package including SiriusXM travel link, Sirius XM traffic, and Uconnect access.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited also comes in a 4-cylinder model. This model comes in with a base price of $28,971. It has a 2.4-liter MultiAir 2 TigerShark I-4 engine (standard) that produces 184 horsepower. A first for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited is the use of a 9-speed automatic transmission and is standard equipment on all models. There is also a choice of three different 4X4 systems, the Jeep Active Drive I, Jeep Active Drive II, and the Jeep Active Drive Lock. Selec-Terrain is a driver interactive system that allows the driver to select the on/off-road setting at any time to allow maximum performance no matter what the road conditions.

“Off Road, it will bury them.” This is the opinion of Motor Trend magazine concerning the 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited. “It will impress even the most hardcore enthusiast about the new Jeep’s capabilities. While it doesn’t look like the typical Jeep, it has all the qualities of a Jeep, a crossover to be seen around town and off-road capabilities that are second to none. While it can be driven to work, off-road is where it really shines! The 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited also has some creative interior design with a hidden cubby under the cushion of the front passenger seat and a spot on the dash that opens up. There are also door pockets, map pockets, and a spot for your cell phone. The rear of the Jeep Cherokee is spacious and its second row can move back or be laid flat to create more storage. A lot of thought went into this design. Motor Trend also states that the ride of this vehicle is surprisingly quiet, a feature that is not often found in off-road vehicles. Off-road enthusiasts will be impressed with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Limited. It is fun to drive and the electric transmission will allow the driver to feel each turn with ease. See a rock, climb a rock, that’s what this Jeep does. It blows the competition away.
