The Cherokee is not about to let you down, and it's our job here at Star Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram to prove that to you. So, sit back, relax, and keep reading below for everything you need to know about the Cherokee's off-roading capabilities.

What engine gives the new Cherokee the power it needs off-roading?

Before we discuss the off-road-specific features that stand out to us in the Jeep Cherokee, we want to ensure you're familiar with the reliable engine that powers it. Without this engine, everything else doesn't matter, and we want to make sure you have the best driving experience possible, regardless of where you are headed. The engine, of course, is a new 1.6-liter turbo-four hybrid propulsion system that never skimps on getting you what you need. You'll be able to enjoy as much as 230 pound-feet of torque, along with 210 horsepower! We also think it's worth mentioning that, besides the internal combustion engine, this system comes with a battery and two electric motors, which means the power you're getting will likely be more instantaneous. 

What standard off-roading features can I enjoy with the Jeep Cherokee?

Many exciting features help to make off-roading a breeze when you're behind the wheel of the Cherokee. Nothing is more important to the designers and engineers at Jeep than ensuring that this is the type of ride that can handle anything for anyone. That's why the Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system is standard throughout the entire lineup, which even includes a standard rear-axle disconnect. But that isn't all that the Jeep Cherokee has to offer you this model year. We'd also love to mention key off-roading elements such as:
  • 8 inches of ground clearance
  • Selec-Terrain traction management with Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud modes
  • Breakover angle of 18.8 degrees
  • Approach angle of 19.6 degrees
  • Departure angle of 29.4 degrees

How safe is the Jeep Cherokee for off-roading adventures?

Just because you're heading off on an adventure doesn't mean that you should have to sacrifice safety in the name of fun. When you choose a Jeep, you'll be able to enjoy all of your travels with confidence thanks to the standard safety features you'll find with the new Cherokee. The more tech you have on your side, the easier it will be to handle anything that is thrown at you. Some of the top safety features we want to mention include a 360-degree surround view camera, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, full speed forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and intersection collision assist. Remember, these are the types of features that can help you on every journey, and are really here as an accompaniment to the rest of the fun you have!
