The much awaited Jeep's 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk is a Crossover that can roll with big-boy 4x4s
:devil: Hello Folks, :devil:
Just below that well-crafted cubby is one of the best infotainment systems in the industry, Uconnect on an 8.4-inch screen. An example of the keenness with which the interior was designed is the center-top storage cubby, however, with weird gaps and an incongruent look the one atop the Cherokee is a lesson in how to add utility without ruining the interior. The rest of the interior is also outstanding, with loads of leg and headroom for both rows of passengers. Although the load floor of the rear cargo area is rather high, which cuts into usable space, it’s accessed by an electric liftgate. With an access button next to the steering wheel and also on the key fob, drivers can begin the opening process which is within the drivers reach.
Buyers should fully understand that they’re buying a product with an all-new, unproven transmission, of course & if you’re OK with that potential risk, you’ll love the heck out of your Cherokee. :devil:

:devil: Hello Folks, :devil:
For a quick recap, this fifth-generation Cherokee (yes, Jeep fanatics, it is the fifth; the Liberty was a Cherokee in other global markets) is based upon a FIAT Group platform shared by the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Dodge Dart, and new Chrysler 200. This makes it a car-based crossover.
The “Trail Rated” badge on the side, Jeep says, “indicates that the vehicle is designed to perform in a variety of challenging off-road conditions identified by five key consumer-oriented performance categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording.”
The 2015 Cherokee code-named “KL” is powered by a choice of two engines: the 2.4-liter Tigershark inline four-cylinder or a 3.2-liter Pentastar V6. The Tigershark is rated to produce 184 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. The Pentastar, however, which powered Trailhawk test vehicle, is rated at 271 ponies and 239 lb-ft.
Tigershark is estimated by the EPA to achieve anywhere from 19 to 22 mpg in the city and between 25 and 31 mpg on the highway, dependent on which 4×4 level buyers choose dependent on 4×4 kit. No matter the engine option, however, Jeep pairs the gasoline burners with its new nine-speed automatic, which also routes power either to the front wheels (4×2) or to all four (4×4).
As good as the Cherokee Trailhawk is off-road, it’s even better on the road and rightfully so. Jeep designers were able to mate the bossiness of the Grand Cherokee with the smaller Cherokee without faking the funk or losing the earned gravitas of the breed.
The Trailhawk’s handling is sensational: Clearly, its suspension was tuned for the trail. On the highway, though, it shines equally brightly. High-speed cornering is met without any fuss or body roll. High-speed, rapid braking is hugely confident too something usually and woefully lacking in most crossovers and SUVs & acceleration was excellent from the Pentastar V6 at full throttle. Under normal loads, though, its sounds were delightfully absent from the cabin.The Cherokee comes in the form of its nine-speed automatic transmission. Yes, the unit shifts very well and offers seamless auto start stop at traffic lights, saving precious fuel.
