How much does the 2014 Jeep Cherokee cost?

Prices have softened 8.28% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,347 listings available, which suggests you should have some room to compare condition, mileage, and equipment. If you find a listing below $8,981.59, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee a good car?

It can be a smart fit if you want a comfortable, well-equipped crossover with capability, though your satisfaction will depend on which engine and trim you choose. You get a user rating of 3.86/5 and an expert rating of 7.5/10.

The model scores 8/10 across Performance, Form and function, Technology, and Safety.

Owners commonly praise the comfort, stylish design, and good features, especially in higher trims. The review summary also points to a rugged stance and interior quality that many buyers appreciate, while noting that some drivers want more power and better value.

If you want a crossover that balances daily comfort with available off-road ability, this year’s Cherokee fits that brief well. If you care more about refinement and features than outright utility, the higher trims are the ones to focus on.

Only 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards selective shopping.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee reliable?

The Cherokee’s ownership case is helped by its comfort-focused design and the expert review’s emphasis on a refined ride and solid materials. Owners describe it as reliable for comfort and interior quality, though some also mention reliability concerns and feature-quality issues.

The expert review also highlights the 9-speed automatic’s smooth gear selection and the engine’s refined feel at low and high revs, which supports the impression of a well-sorted drivetrain. Jeep’s powertrain coverage and roadside assistance are also a plus for long-term ownership confidence.

For used buyers, the main risk is that mixed owner feedback means condition and maintenance history matter a lot more than the badge alone.

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

At 59.3% 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 you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with prior bodywork. Focus on how the drivetrain feels in normal driving, whether the cabin electronics work properly, and whether the vehicle shows signs of uneven wear or deferred maintenance. If you’re comparing trims, make sure the equipment on the window sticker matches what’s actually installed.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Sport includes Bluetooth, streaming audio, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, a 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen, and 17-inch steel wheels, while the Latitude adds fog lights, roof rails, a 115-volt outlet, a fold-flat front passenger seat, leather accent trim, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Limited adds automatic headlights, heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, dual-zone climate control, a rear-view camera, leather upholstery, heated power front seats, a heated steering wheel, push-button start, and an 8.4-inch screen. The Trailhawk is the off-road-focused version with full-time 4WD, a locking rear axle, skid plates, a raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and hill-descent control.
• Powertrain: Standard models use a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with 184 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic. An optional 3.2-liter V6 makes 271 hp and 239 lb-ft, and it is not offered on the Sport. Fuel economy is competitive, with the FWD 4-cylinder rated at up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while the V6 returns 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in FWD form.
• 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 Sport and an 8.4-inch screen on the Limited and the reviewer’s test vehicle. The system supports voice control, app access, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and phone pairing is described as quick and easy.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.4-liter FWD model is rated at up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while Active Drive I lowers that to 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. The 3.2-liter V6 in FWD form is rated at 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, and Active Drive I trims the highway figure by 1 mpg. Trailhawk models and those with Active Drive II 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 is the most affordable entry point, but it leaves you with the smallest screen and the fewest comfort and convenience features. It also does not offer the V6.
• Sweet-spot trim: The Latitude is the best value if you want a more complete everyday setup, since it adds useful comfort and convenience upgrades without jumping all the way to the pricier Limited.
• Premium/top trim: The Limited is the most appealing all-around choice if you want the best mix of comfort, tech, and convenience, including the larger Uconnect screen and the safety-oriented Technology Group availability.
• Off-road trim: The Trailhawk is the one to choose if off-road hardware matters most, but its capability-focused setup makes it less ideal if your driving is mostly commuting and errands.

The safety-oriented Technology Group is restricted to Limited and Trailhawk models, so if you want the full driver-assistance suite, you’ll need to shop at least that high.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find value if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,347 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.28% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,981.59, 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 $8,982 sits slightly below last year's $9,792.

That price movement suggests the Cherokee has softened enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you plan to sell later, the current market points to a vehicle that may not hold value as strongly as some rivals, so condition and trim choice will matter a lot. A well-kept example with desirable equipment should be easier to move than a higher-mileage one with visible wear or a rough history.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee safe?

It earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS.

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

Standard safety equipment includes 10 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. 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.

If you want the most complete safety setup, look for a trim that can be equipped with that package, since it is not available on every version.

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:

• 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.28% compared with last year.
• This year stands out for its blend of comfort, capability, and available safety tech, while still offering a lower average price than it had a year ago.

The bottom line: If you want the lowest current entry point into this Cherokee generation, the 2014 model is worth a close look, especially if you can verify a clean history and find the right trim. If you’re more price-sensitive and want to maximize value, keep shopping listings carefully and compare condition, equipment, and accident history before deciding.
