With a big enough range of models, a given vehicle line can serve a lot of tastes and budgets. For support, we offer up the Cherokee, one of Jeep’s compact crossover SUVs.

You read “Jeep” and perhaps you reflexively summon the image of an off-road-ready Trailhawk. However, most Cherokees are attuned to more-civilized pursuits. Consumer Guide put one of these, a comfortably outfitted Limited, to use in a place where “off road” usually means a driveway.

The Limited trim level slots below the top-line Overland and decked-out versions of the off-road-oriented Trailhawk model in the Cherokee lineup.

While not the top of the Cherokee price range—that distinction actually belongs to the $39,000-plus Trailhawk Elite—the Limited is pretty far up the chart. Counting delivery, the tested 4-wheel-drive truck started at $36,090, and bulked up to $42,075 with options. Note that a Limited 4-wheeler costs a considerable $3245 more than one with front-wheel drive, but in addition to the more-complex driveline the 4×4 also gets a standard V6 engine in place of the front-driver’s naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine.

The Cherokee’s cabin offers a straightforward control layout, and a good array of comfort and convenience features in Limited trim. The center console houses the drive-mode selector, charging ports, and the electronic parking brake lever.

The Limited welcomes drivers and passengers into leather-upholstered surroundings with lots of soft-touch material on the dashboard and door panels (though the grained-plastic tops of the rear doors are not padded). Front seats and steering wheel are heated; the automatic climate-control system is dual-zone; and there are memory settings for the driver’s seat, radio, and exterior power mirrors. The Uconnect 4 infotainment system features an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Alpine-brand speakers, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone compatibility, satellite radio, and voice-activated Bluetooth connectivity. Driver-assistance technologies count things like rear park assist, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic monitoring, and keyless entry and starting.

Though the Cherokee’s rear seat isn’t the most spacious in the compact SUV class, average-sized adults can fit in decent comfort. HVAC vents and USB and AC charging ports are housed in the back of the center console.

CG’s test truck went a lot further. A Technology Group option added things like lane-keeping assist, forward-collision alert and mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. Overhead loomed a two-row sunroof; within, the infotainment unit was augmented with navigation, HD radio, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

The test vehicle’s powerteam was a creation of the options list, too. In place of the 3.2-liter V6 was the 2.0-liter turbocharged four ($500) that makes 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. All Cherokees have a 9-speed automatic transmission, but the tester tacked on the Trailhawk’s 948TE version ($1205). With it comes Jeep’s “Active Drive II” 4-wheel-drive system that adds a low-gear range and neutral setting (the latter makes flat towing, such as behind a recreational vehicle, possible) to “Active Drive I” automatic 4WD with “Selec-Terrain” that features four modes: “Auto,” “Snow,” “Sport,” and “Sand/Mud.” Hill-descent control and specific suspension tuning are other elements of the transmission option that give even a boulevard Cherokee a decent chance in challenging conditions.

There’s 25.8 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats, and 54.7 cu. ft. with the rear seats folded down–notably less space than class rivals such as the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4.

This engine/trans combination was no surprise to us, having already sampled it in a 2019 Trailhawk. Power away from a standstill and the engine will display turbo lag for a count, then wake up with a hint of noise. Maximum towing capacity with the 2.0-liter is 4000 pounds. Absent much stress, the 9-speed automatic generally blends into the background. However, there are occasions when shifts feel mistimed and abrupt—particularly in Sport mode, which delays upshifts in order to build power. Plus, it can be a little slow when the situation calls for the gearbox to kick down.
