2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

I was specifically looking for a 4x4 that could be flat towed. The Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with right setup met those needs. Also, if equipped with a tow package and 6 cylinder, it?s ltowing capacity is double other SUV?s in its class. And it?s got all the comfort features and style I was looking for.

very nice vehicle

This car has some really nice features. It handles well and has great pickup speed for a four cylinder. I like the design as well as it looks sporty. The heated seats and steering wheel are really nice in the cold weather. Rear view camera is a plus.

Great car

I love the interior comfort in this car... I love it! In the winter I'm NEVER cold (I have heated seats). Best car I've owned for comfort. Gas mileage is great too for a SUV! Drives really good in snow

Not the best, not the worst

Trailhawk: Pros: Comfort is my biggest brag about the vehicle, very smooth ride, seats hug you every time you get it. 8.4 touch screen is a nice feature, but without nav, it?s pretty pointless. 4 cyl engine is sluggish, but aren?t all Jeeps? (Other than GC). Style isn?t bad, Trailhawk is definitely more masculine than others. Price wise, on the upper end of American made small SUVs. Personally would have rather bought a cheaper version of a Grand Cherokee.

Lacks power

This vehicle is nice looking but has some issues, the vehicle stop/start is annoying, you can't turn off radio, you can only mute or turn down, it still comes on every time you start the vehicle. The Uconnect app is a joke it hardly ever works in the vehicle, says app error all the time. Sharp looking but not practical.

Nice to Drive

I traded my Honda CRV in for the Jeep Cherokee a little over a year ago, this car is excellent to drive. It is smooth and comfortable for long trips and holds the road nicely in the winter. My only complaint is the lack of cargo space. It has less room in the rear for luggage etc. than my Honda CRV.

A pleasure to drive

We were looking for a mid size SUV to replace the Ford Focus we had. The Jeep Cherokee met or exceeded everything on our wish list. The styling is excellent and it?s interior is quite spacious
