How much does the 2014 Jeep Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 7.87% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,275 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

If you find a listing below $9,002.02, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee a good car?

With a 3.86/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee lands in the solid-but-selective-buy territory. It stands out for comfort, stylish design, and strong feature content, especially in higher trims, while the overview also points to a crossover that can handle both urban driving and off-road use.

Owners repeatedly praise its comfort, good features, and interior quality, and the expert review backs that up with notes about a versatile crossover that impresses in performance, foul-weather handling, comfort, and materials. That makes it a good fit if you want a crossover with a more rugged personality than many rivals and you value a well-appointed cabin.

The market also shows 29.6% good or great deals, so you have room to shop carefully rather than rush.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee reliable?

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is framed as a vehicle with strong capability and comfort, but you should still approach used examples with care because owners mention reliability concerns alongside praise for its better-equipped trims. The expert review also notes that the launch was rocky and delayed because of initial quality concerns.

The review’s dependability language is encouraging in spots: it describes the Cherokee as refined, comfortable, and composed, with a powertrain that feels and sounds polished and a ride that stays compliant and quiet. The cost-effectiveness notes also point to 5 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage and roadside assistance, which helps reduce early ownership risk.

For a used buyer, the main long-term risk is that a neglected example could carry the baggage of early quality issues, so condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Jeep Cherokee?

At 58.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on signs of prior body repair, uneven panel gaps, warning lights, and any evidence that the drivetrain or electronics have been neglected. Because this model mixes comfort, technology, and available off-road hardware, you’ll want to confirm that the specific equipment on the car actually works as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Sport includes Bluetooth, streaming audio, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, a 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen, USB and auxiliary inputs, and 17-inch steel wheels, while higher trims add fog lights, roof rails, a household-style power outlet, leather accents, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, push-button start, and an 8.4-inch screen.
• Powertrain: Standard models use a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with a 9-speed automatic, while the optional 3.2-liter V6 brings more power and stronger acceleration; fuel economy is competitive for the class, with FWD 4-cylinder models rated up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
• Safety package: The optional Technology Group bundles blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure and forward-collision systems, intelligent cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and parallel and perpendicular self-parking; it is restricted to Limited and Trailhawk models.
• Infotainment: The Cherokee uses Uconnect, with a 5-inch touchscreen on the base trim and an available 8.4-inch screen on higher trims; the system supports voice control, and the review notes easy phone pairing and Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.4-liter FWD setup is rated at up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while Active Drive I 4WD lowers that to 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway; the V6 with FWD is rated at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, and Trailhawk or Active Drive II models give up another 1 to 3 mpg.

Which 2014 Jeep Cherokee trim should I buy?

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is offered in 4 trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Limited, Trailhawk.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The Sport gives you the essentials, but it lacks the upgraded comfort and convenience features found higher up the range, including fog lights, roof rails, leather trim, heated front seats, and the larger 8.4-inch Uconnect screen.
• Sweet-spot trim: The Latitude is the best value if you want a meaningful step up from the base model, because it adds fog lights, roof rails, a power outlet, a fold-flat passenger seat with storage, leather accent trim, and alloy wheels without jumping all the way to the pricier Limited.
• Premium/top trim: The Limited is the most appealing upscale choice because it layers on automatic headlights, heated mirrors, dual-zone climate control, a rear-view camera, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, push-button start, and the larger Uconnect display.
• Off-road trim: The Trailhawk is the one to choose if you want the standard full-time 4WD system, locking rear axle, skid plates, raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and hill-descent control, but those features make it less relevant if your driving is mostly daily commuting.

The safety-oriented Technology Group is restricted to Limited and Trailhawk models.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Jeep Cherokee?

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and disciplined.

• Deal availability: 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,275 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.87% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $9,002.02, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's resale value?

The current average of $9,000 sits slightly below last year's $9,768.

That price movement suggests the Cherokee has softened enough to create a better entry point for you as a buyer, but it also means future resale may depend heavily on how well you maintain the vehicle. If you buy a clean, well-kept example, you’re better positioned to preserve value than if you choose a rougher, higher-risk listing.

Because the market has already moved down 7.87%, a future seller may not have much room to recover lost value unless the vehicle is especially well equipped or exceptionally clean. That makes condition, mileage, and service history especially important if you care about resale later.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee safe?

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee earned a spot on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s list of Top Safety Picks.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Cherokee comes with 10 standard airbags, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, hill-start assist, a rear-view camera, front active head restraints, bright LED taillights, and emergency response services through Uconnect. If you want more protection, the optional Technology Group adds blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure and forward-collision systems, intelligent cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and parallel and perpendicular self-parking.

One caveat is that the Technology Group is not available on every trim, so you may need to shop carefully if those driver-assistance features matter to you.

Should I buy a 2014 Jeep Cherokee or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 29.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.87% compared with last year.
• After a somewhat rocky and delayed launch attributed to initial quality concerns, the Cherokee is back, but its days as a boxy, no-frills utility vehicle are history.

The bottom line: If you want the Cherokee’s comfort, style, and versatility at a lower entry price, the 2014 can make sense as long as you shop carefully and verify condition. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the softer market and decent deal availability make this a reasonable year to target, but you should be selective about history and equipment.
