What's New: Comparing the 2022 vs. 2023 Jeep Cherokee
The 2023 Jeep Cherokee sees this midsize SUV's trim lineup down to just two editions, the Altitude Lux and the Trailhawk. Three trims from the 2022 lineup were dropped for the new model year: Cherokee X, Latitude LUX, and Limited. The premium-equipped Altitude Lux is now the new entry-level variant.
However, the new Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux looks and feels like anything but a base model, as we'll cover in more depth shortly. The 2022 Cherokee SUV's 271-horsepower V-6 engine has also been discontinued, with a naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder and turbo-four engine offered across the new 2023 Cherokee lineup.
New 2023 Jeep Cherokee Specs & Dimensions
A 180-horsepower 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine powers the 2023 Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux trim. A nine-speed automatic transmission is paired with a Jeep 4x4 system in the 180-horsepower Cherokee SUV, and the high-powered variant also gets this transmission and drive setup.
However, the 270-horsepower Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk edition and its turbocharged engine get the upgraded off-road Jeep Active Drive Lock 4x4 system with a rear locking differential, plus loads of other all-terrain performance enhancements.
When equipped with the 270-horsepower turbo engine, Jeep Active Drive Lock 4x4 system, the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System with five drive modes, all-terrain tires, and a 1-inch suspension lift, the Cherokee earns Jeep Trail Rated status.
2023 Jeep Cherokee Performance
Whether you choose the 180-horsepower 2023 Jeep Cherokee Altitude Lux or the rugged and robust 270-horsepower Cherokee Trailhawk, this new Jeep SUV for sale is eager to take on the road, trails, and various terrain. With its proven performance, the Jeep Cherokee lineup brings adventure and excitement to your drive.
The available 270-horsepower engine brings spirited acceleration and improved trailering capabilities. When properly equipped with the turbocharged engine and its 295 pound-feet of torque, the new Jeep Cherokee towing capacity reaches 4,000 pounds.
From its brisk acceleration and off-road prowess to its stellar towing capabilities, the 2023 Jeep Cherokee performance metrics impress. Find out for yourself with a test drive at your local Jeep dealer.
