Jeep Cherokee (KL). 2014 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/A, 2359 cm³ (I4 DOHC), 3239 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Replacement for Liberty on a platform derived from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta (940), débuting a new Pentastar V6 unit. Nine-speed transmission. Controversial front end, not to everyone’s liking initially. Despite car base, Jeep claimed a better crawl ratio than its predecessor. Trailhawk model had locking rear differential, skid plates and a higher ride height. High-tech features abound: park assist, brake assist in cases where a forward collision is likely. Improved interior quality.
