Whether you're a connoisseur of 2017 Jeep Cherokee, which expert reviewer U.S. News and World Report ranks #12 in best compact SUVs, or the step-up 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which it gives a #5 best midsize SUV ranking, there's something to love for each iteration. U.S. News and World Report's overall view evinces this when it dons Jeep a brand to "strike the balance between off-road ruggedness and modern, asphalt amenities."
2017 Jeep Cherokee enhances its base with Limited, Overland and Trailhawk iterations that give quite the strong showing, sweetening reliable Jeep 4x4 capability with rear-axle disconnect for reduced energy loss during normal driving, and the year-model's Jeep Selec-Terrain traction control system's custom Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud and Rock modes tighten handling response during excursions on- and off-road. 2017 Cherokee's Sport trim steps up with a best-in-class, stop-start tech-equipped 3.2-liter V6 engine that can tow up to 4,500 pounds, and its 56:1 crawl ratio makes for low-range traction that really digs in. And offering fuel economy up to 31 mpg highway, as well as nine-speed automatic transmission that's midsize model-standard and over 70 available safety and security features, 2017 Jeep Cherokee appears the model for the long, and rough, haul.
U.S. News and World Report calls out 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, however, for special performance and upper-trim fuel efficiency accolades, as the model's 295-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engine comes standard, and with an up to 6,200-pound towing capacity. Optional four-wheel drive all but soups up Trailhawk and SRT trims, and an optional diesel V6 is capable of hauling up to 7,400 pounds with respectable fuel economy up to 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Jeep likewise added a rearview camera and rear parking sensors to Grand Cherokee, enhancing safety otherwise evinced by excellent NHTSA, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and J.D. Power ratings, and the step-up SUV gets final props for cargo capacity up to 36.3 cubic feet with rear seat standing and 68.3 cubic feet when it's folded, comparable to, but with a slight edge on, Cherokee's laudable respective 24.6 and 54.9.
