Performance

The 2026 Cherokee features a hybrid powertrain for the first time in the model's fifty-plus-year history, marking a significant milestone in Jeep's commitment to efficiency. A 177-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine teams with a pair of electric motors for a combined 210 horsepower and 230 pound-feet of torque. Drivers in Elkhart, IN appreciate the smooth power managed by a Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT) and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). With a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, the Cherokee proves that fuel-efficient engineering can include practical utility.
