What Features Can I Get With the 2026 Cherokee?

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is breaking new ground with the introduction of a 1.6-liter turbo-four hybrid propulsion system, offering drivers increased efficiency without compromising capability. This innovative setup delivers an estimated 37 mpg combined and more than 500 miles of driving range on a single tank—putting it ahead of many competitors in its class. It's also a significant milestone for Jeep and Stellantis, marking the introduction of the first Jeep hybrid system and the first of its kind from Stellantis in North America, as part of their multi-energy strategy. With an internal-combustion engine working alongside two electric motors and a battery, this hybrid powertrain produces a confident 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, giving you the perfect mix of strength and efficiency for every adventure.

Your 2026 Jeep Cherokee offers a spacious, thoughtfully designed interior loaded with technology to make every drive safer and more enjoyable. Every trim comes standard with a 10.25-inch full-color digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all powered by Jeep's award-winning Uconnect 5 system. Comfort and convenience meet safety with a passive entry system, rain-sensing wipers, and advanced driver-assistance features like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Intersection Collision Assist, Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, Drowsy Driver Detection, and the Level 2 Active Driving Assist system with adaptive cruise control. Additional features, such as rear park assist with rear automatic emergency braking, ensure confidence and control, whether navigating city streets or heading off the beaten path.

Available across entry-level Cherokee, Laredo, Limited, and Overland trims, the 2026 Cherokee offers a wealth of optional features that enhance comfort, convenience, and technology. Drivers can choose upgrades such as a dual-pane sunroof, foot-activated power liftgate with adjustable height, a 360-degree camera, digital rearview mirror, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, windshield wiper de-icer, front tire-to-curb view, turn signal-activated blind-spot monitoring, premium audio, and even an Alexa in-vehicle assistant. Its Uconnect 5 system is OTA update-ready, continually improving software capabilities, and includes AppMarket—a hub for apps like Geocaching, The Dyrt, and games such as Sudoku, along with connected services like a Wi-Fi hotspot and Jeep Off-Road Pages Plus. Thoughtful design extends to practical space as well: a new rotary gear selector frees up room for everyday items, and the Cherokee now offers 30% more cargo capacity than the previous model—enough to fit an extra large dog crate in the rear with the seats folded down.

Building on an impressive list of standard equipment, advanced technology, and an efficient propulsion system that stretches your range, the 2026 Jeep Cherokee delivers true Jeep 4x4 capability along with a collection of class-exclusive and best-in-class features. Every Cherokee comes standard with the Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system, complete with a rear-axle disconnect, and Selec-Terrain traction management offering four driving modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud. Off-road prowess is enhanced with best-in-class approach and departure angles of 19.6 and 29.4 degrees, a breakover angle of 18.8 degrees, and 8 inches of ground clearance, giving drivers the confidence to tackle rugged trails or challenging terrain with ease.
